The tone of this excerpt is fear, disappointment, and uncertainty. T<span>aherah Saffazadeh, the poet, is Iranian and the fear and disappointment that accompany having a girl for a baby stems from the society's poor treatment of women and celebration of men. Detailed description of action and emotion help convey these themes, the word choice associated with the announcement that she was a girl. The mother's "look of shame", the "choked voice" telling them it's a girl, the midwife trembling, these details are what create the mood and reinforce how somber everything around the birth became. The tone of uncertainty comes from the feeling that no one in the room quite knows what to do next or how to react properly.</span>
The excerpt of this question is missing; here is the missing excerpt:
Read the excerpt from chapter 8 of The Travels of Marco Polo and study the map.
[This] is an island lying about 1,000 miles south of Socotra. The people are Saracens who worship Mahomet. They have four sheikhs—that is to say, four elders—who exercise authority over the whole island. You must know that this island is one of the biggest and best in the whole world. It is said to measure about 4,000 miles in circumference. The people live by trade and industry. More elephants are bred here than in any other province; and I assure you that not so many elephant tusks are sold in all the rest of the world put together as in this island and that of Zanzibar.
The correct answer to this question is C. Madagascar
Explanation:
In the excerpt, the narrator refers to an island located "about 1,000 miles south of Socotra". About the island, the narrator describes some geographical features of it, as well as, features of its people. This includes the detail "More elephants are bred here than in any other province" that shows the number of elephants bred in this island is higher than in any other region.
Now, on the map, it can be deduced the island the author describes is Madagascar (Location C) because this is the only island located to the South of Socotra (Location A), which coincides with the description in the excerpt.
Looking back, my life has not been what I always want it to be. After a heart-breaking divorce, I went on a path of self destruction. I started drinking heavily and using drugs as a way to numb the pain. Finally I had a wake up call. As I got in to some legal trouble. It opened my eyes to all the things I may have lost if I continued living my life that way. I then decided to turn my life around and go back to school. I obtained my P.H.D. and then have since found a new wife and job.
