25 PTS TO WHO ANSWERS Read the excerpt from a personal essay. What is the purpose of the allusion to the story of Cinderella? As

my principal, Mr. Howard, read the names of the scholarship recipients, I held my breath in anticipation. I wanted to hear my name called and the cheers from the audience. However, my name never passed through Mr. Howard's lips. When the last name was read, I felt numb. The hours that I spent writing the scholarship essay felt wasted. I finally had the sinking realization that I would never be Cinderella and that fairy godmothers do not exist. Without that scholarship, accomplishing my dreams would be incredibly difficult.
A. to emphasize how different the narrator's life is from a fairy tale

B. to show how the narrator admires the story of Cinderella

C. to highlight how the narrator enjoys reading fairy tales

D. to describe how similar the narrator is to Cinderella

Answer:

The purpose of the allusion to the story of <em>Cinderella</em> is <em>to emphasize how different the narrator's life is from a fairy tale.</em> <u>The correct answer is A.</u>

Explanation:

What the speaker is trying to do here, by comparing his/her life with <em>Cinderella</em>, is to make a difference between real life, where everything can happen, even bad things, and fairy tales, where everything works out just fine in the end. His/her life, the real life has obstacles, and the speaker feels disappointed for not winning the scholarship, that scholarship would've helped a lot in accomplishing his/her dreams. He/she will probably still be able to do it, but he/she just feels disappointed and thinks won't have the chance, but with hard work, he/she will. <em>The idea of the allusion to the story of Cinderella is to emphasize the differences between real life, and fairy tales, where everything is magical and happen even without working on it</em>, just with the help from a fairy everything turns out the way we desire. In real life, this doesn't always happen, and if it does happen it happens with our help and hard work. We just don't have to give up.

What did Chavez believe about the rights of humanity?
amm1812

Answer:

Mexican-American farmworker, labor leader and civil rights activist César Chávez brought about better conditions for agricultural workers. Born on his family’s farm near Yuma, Arizona, Chávez witnessed the harsh conditions farm laborers endured. Routinely exploited by their employers, they were often unpaid, living in shacks in exchange for their labor, with no medical or other basic facilities. Without a united voice, they had no means to improve their position. Chávez changed that when he dedicated his life to winning recognition for the rights of agricultural workers, inspiring and organizing them into the National Farm Workers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers. Through marches, strikes and boycotts, Chávez forced employers to pay adequate wages and provide other benefits and was responsible for legislation enacting the first Bill of Rights for agricultural workers. For his commitment to social justice and his lifelong dedication to bettering the lives of others, Chávez was posthumously recognized with the highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom
