Just as the food arrives at Mother and Father's table, a man appears with a mop and pail and starts to mop with Pine-Sol. The mo

p is a sweet stinky, and the smell is so strong that it makes you blink.
There are many stories of the Mexican obsession with cleaning. You have only to arrive in the Mexico City airport, step off the plane into the waiting area, and your first encounter with Mexican culture will be to dodge someone furiously mopping. Especially if it's in the middle of the day. "Cuidado! Watch out!" says a little yellow sign, warning you to watch your step on the damp floor.
adapted from Caramelo by Sandra Cisneros

A. It lets the reader know the meaning of all the Spanish words.
B. It is a detail that tells the reader more about Mexican culture.
C. The author did not have a reason but liked this description.

Who was the most evil from all the stories we've read and why?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

I think it's Voldemort

Explanation:

Voldemort is the villain who plays in Harry Potter. I think his backstory doesn't give him an excuse to what he became. He got orphaned at a young age like many others and allegedly couldn't love anything or anyone. But as he grew older, he became more evil and started using dark magic. His ultimate fear was death and believed in the deathly hallows. He killed lots of people without mercy, without have a second thought just to accomplish this. And he killed Harry's parents and tried to kill Harry at the age of 1 and failed. But ever since then, Harry was targeted each year at Hogwarts by him.
