The correct answer is letter D: <span>a note from a traveler who had gone on the marked trail, telling them to take a different and safer route if they could.
The Donner Party was a group of American Pioneers who headed out to California and followed a different route by wagons. They ended up being stuck in the blizzard, resulting to the lost of their supplies and eventually into cannibalism. Along the trail they saw letters stuck in trees that they need to take a different and safer route in order for them to get where they are headed, but the group did not heed the message and still pursued their path which lead to their own demise.</span>
I would say that the correct answer would be "Definition", as the passage is defining Americans' respect, or lack thereof, for Native culture.
It would be C because it is the only one that you could write a full essay on. It makes it vague enough so that you can cover all the areas that you want to be able to prove and persuade the reader into also thinking that, that particular book is better than the author's other books. That thesis gives you your foundation so that then you can work from the ground up, and it makes it easier to persuade, because like I said, it's vague and you can include every single one of your points to be made into the essay. The other options focus too much on one minute detail of the story, that you wouldn't really even have an essay.
Answer:
“The painter's face curdled with scorn "You think I'm proud of this daub?" he said. "You think this is my idea of what life looks like?"
"What's your idea of what life looks like?" said the orderly.
The painter gestured at a foul drop cloth. "There's a good picture of it," he said. "Frame that, and you'll have a picture a d*** sight more honest than this one.”
Explanation:
The painter does not view life as enjoyable in any way. He views it to be as bad as a foul cloth. He knows that there is so much chaos, and that he is living only to die. This leads him to taking his own life, rather then letting the government take it from him; he doesn't view life as a "worth it" affair
