I will never total it all now. I will never come in to say: She was a child seldom smiled at. Herfatherleft me before she was a

year old. I worked her first six years when there was work, or I sent her home and to his relatives. There were years she had careshe hated. She was dark and thin and foreign‐looking in a world where the prestige went to blondness and curly hair and dimples, slow where glibness was prized. She was a child of anxious, not proud, love. We were poor and could not afford for her the soil of easy growth. I was a young mother, I was a distracted mother. There were the other children pushing up, demanding. Her younger sister was all that she was not. She did not like me to touch her. She kept too much in herself, her life was such she had to keep too much in herself. My wisdom came too late. She has much in her and probably nothing will come of it. She is a child of her age, of depression, of war, of fear. What theme is being expressed in the description above?

I would say the theme is that when a child grows up, what his/her circumstances are determines to a large degree how they will fare in life. In this case the girl was abandoned by her father and her mother couldn't look after her because she had to work so her daughter had to be brought up by relatives. Also, she is described as dark so perhaps dark skinned which would make her a target for racism if say in Canada or the US. Dr Gabor Mate, a medical doctor in the downtown eastside of Vancouver, BC Canada says that, for example, drug addicts have most often had a terrible upbringing so they have sought relief from the emotional and physical pain with narcotics. For example, one baby was kept in the dryer with a weight on the lid while his mom went to bars to pick up men.

Which question might you ask a classmate during a peer review that would best assist you with evaluating the descriptions you us
NeTakaya

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The question you want to ask is if you hit your point and stayed on task, that's what determines your overall grade. The rest, such as details unrealated to main idea, spelling and grammatical errors, and text supporting words are minor peices that barely count to anything. As long as your text is clear and gets a point across, the rest will fall into place.

In line 6, Annie says she “just escaped the whitewashed, brick-walled, iron-gated prison that is commonly known as middle school
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

A. Critical

Explanation:

Annie uses the words "iron-gated prison" to describe the middle school. Obviously, middle schools are not literally prisons, but when described as prisons, one can believe that Annie truly felt as if the institution limited her freedom and kept her "chained" to schoolwork.

With this kind of attitude toward school, it would only be natural for the answer to have something to do with dislike.

B) Annie doesn't feel hesitant (which means cautious) because she clearly expresses her thoughts very bluntly.

C) She is definitely not regretful because she's glad to have "escaped" from the school.

D) If Annie is not regretful, then she cannot be devastated (which, in this scenario, is basically just a more extreme version of regretful).

Thus, the answer is A (critical) because she's very keen on pointing out the negative aspects of the school.

Hope this helps!

What is the most logical conclusion one can draw from this information?
kari74 [83]

Answer:

The most logical conclusion one can draw from the information is, Williams’s patient was concerned and troubled.

Explanation:

Daniel Hale Williams was a well known American surgeon who is also known for his first successful pericardial surgery.

The author writes that, ‘Williams “reassured the patient with his calm, dignified manner.’ Reassuring some means to say things which removes the doubts of a person. And Williams reassured his patient very calmly. And this was done because William’s patient was concerned and troubled about his health, because of which William have given him the reassurance that everything will be just fine.
