The correct answer is the following.

Dee has changed her name as symbolism to a different heritage that the rest of her family. Her new name is Wangero. Dee considers that she is better than the rest of her family. Dee’s mother resents the way Dee has treated her and Maggie. The behavior of Dee has changed and is mean and selfish. That is the reason why it is very difficult to get along with her. Of course, Dee’s changes are not accepted by her mother and family members.

Dee is a more educated individual than the rest of her family (her sister Maggie and her mother). She has been exposed to more varied experiences and different types of people. This leads her to think of her cultural background and her legacy in a different way than the way her mother and sister think about it. When Dee looks at her grandmother's quilts, she sees a piece of culture and a testament of her family's legacy. Therefore, she thinks of them as something precious that cannot be used everyday. However, Maggie sees them as something that her grandmother made for them to use. She sees them as a comforting and familiar piece that is not meant to be preserved, but is meant to be used and enjoyed. The mother agrees with Maggie's view and struggles to connect with the more worldly Dee.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

I think a lot of people compare themselves and their family life as "they have it so much better than me". I try not to see it as that. I try to see it as "it could be worse". Try to keep the cup half full rather than half empty. My family does a lot for me, they provide food and roof over my head and I am very grateful for that. I just try to be optimistic and be thankful for the family that I have in front of me.

Based on the analysis and discussion so far, describe how theme and the extended metaphor of Keats’s poem “Ode to Autumn” go tog
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Keats’s “Ode to Autumn” can be seen as an extended metaphor for the cycle of life. In this cycle, autumn can be considered one stage of life—the stage of maturation and growth. Keats seems to be celebrating the point in the life cycle when the buds that formed in spring have attained a state of ripeness. He uses images such as ripened fruits ("mellow fruitfulness"), flowers in bloom (“later flowers”), and matured creatures (“full-grown lambs”) to further develop and emphasize this theme of growth and maturation.

A. She is a saint, and he is a pilgrim who adores her.

It says, in their early conversations, therefore not in any of their soliloquies. In their first conversation, there are lines such as "For saints have hands, that pilgrim hands do touch." Therefore A is the correct answer.
