Read the paragraph from a student’s essay comparing Sandra Cisneros’s “Mericans” and Dwight Okita’s “In Response to Executive Or

der 9066.”
(1) Sandra Cisneros’s “Mericans” is about a young American girl of Mexican descent who is struggling to find her own cultural identity. (2) Cisneros illustrates this through a number of images and ideas. (3) For example, the speaker, Micaela, calls her grandmother “awful,” and seems to resent the woman’s strict views and religious ideals. (4) The speaker also mentions how she and her brother emulate characters from popular American television programs when they play make-believe. (5) Lastly, she describes physically standing outside her family’s church, an act that symbolizes the fact that she feels like an outsider to Mexican culture. (6) Although Micaela is of Mexican descent, she seems to feel a stronger connection to the United States.
Which is the best thesis statement for the entire essay?
A: While the speaker of Okita’s poem feels strongly about her identity as an American citizen, the speaker of Cisneros’s short story identifies more closely with her Mexican family.
B: Though the speakers in Okita’s poem and Cisneros’s short story have strong roots in foreign cultures, both of them feel more connected to their American identities.
C: The family members in Cisneros’s and Okita’s works play a significant role in the lives of both narrators as they contemplate their place in hostile environments.
D: Cisneros and Okita rely on imagery to convey their ideas about American identity.

Serjik [45]

Answer:

You looked in the dictionary and saw that Carl did not understand the word correctly.

Explanation:

The word "disseminate" does not mean "to listen" as Carl understood it, but it does mean the act of spreading something over an object or region. This word is associated with the act of semar, that is, spreading seeds on a land. In this regard, this word takes on the meaning of expelling something in an external environment that can be large or small. This word can also be a synonym for the word "disclose".

In the "I’m a Believer" scene at the end of the movie "Shrek," the three blind mice are turned into the horses in one frame, but
eduard

a contingency break; inattentional blindness

This scene is an example of a contingency break. A contingency break is when, in a piece of media (usually children movies or TV shows) a scene occurs that is immediately retconned in the next scene. A common example of this is in children's cartoons, when a character may have gotten their clothes dirty in one scene, but they are back to normal in the next with no time for them to have been cleaned. This applies to the movie <em>Shrek</em>, as the three blind mice are turned into horses in one frame, but are back to the status quo in the next.

Inattentional blindness is the failure to notice a fully visible, but unexpected, object/action because one's attention was on another object/action. A contingency break can be considered a "real-life" example of inattentional blindness because, if this scene occurred in real-life, you would not notice the mice turning back to normal as your attention was not focused on them.

Do research to find out what were the witch trials Benjamin Franklin described and why did they come about? Were they fair? plea
True [87]

The trials described by Franklin took place in New Jersey, they took place at the same time and were not fair.

Benjamin Franklin  wrote "A Witch Trial at Mount Holly," a short text that satirized the witch trials taking place in the country.

By reading this text, we can see that:

  • Franklin describes the trial of a man and a woman who were accused of witchcraft.
  • The accusers said they saw them making the pigs sing and the sheep dance.
  • The trials put the accused through absurd tests, which caused the death of the accused, or forced them to admit the practice of witchcraft.

Franklin's intention in addressing this topic was to show how the witch trials were not coherent, but rather a crazy illusion. Franklin had this thought because he was so influenced by the stimulation of reason shown in the Enlightenment, which made him critically observe everything.
