1. I read the whole essay and the only allusion that she uses is Xanadu. Joan Didion writes, nobody lives at Xanadu meaning nobody lives in the paradise.

Allusion is a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance. It does not tell in detail the thing, idea, place or person.

Xanadu is a mitical place. It is located in the north of Shangri La that was introduced in 1933 in the fictional novel Lost Horizon by author James Hilton

2.- The symbol that Joan Didion uses is that nobody lives at Xanadu that it is paradise on earth for her because New York was appealing to the author even though she was not well paid and didn't have the best food on the table.

Read Fatima’s paragraph.
Roman55 [17]

The sentence Fatima's teacher will most likely ask her to revise is "Having moved up north just last year, I experienced my first snowstorm this past winter."

<h3>What does Fatima need to revise?</h3>

To revise a text, we must pay attention to anything that stands out as lacking cohesion or coherence, any unnecessary repetitions, or any mistakes that may prevent readers from understanding the idea.

After reading Fatima's paragraph, we can see that there is one sentence repeating the same idea about the previous year twice: "Having moved up north just last year, I experienced my first snowstorm this past winter." This sentence sounds too informal, since it is acceptable in colloquial speech to repeat ideas as we talk.

However, written language should be more formal and grammatically accurate. For that reason, it is likely that Fatima's teacher will ask her to revise the sentence above in order to remove the repetition.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the first answer choice is the correct option.

This is the complete question with the missing answer choices:

Read Fatima’s paragraph.

Having moved up north just last year, I experienced my first snowstorm this past winter. At first, the snow twirled gently, lightly dusting the street, cars, and trees with snowy frosting. Then, the snow became a curtain, blinding my view so that I felt cocooned from the outside world. When the snow stopped, ice coated the trees and branches clacked like chαttering teeth.

Which sentence will Fatima’s teacher most likely ask her to revise?

  • Having moved up north just last year, I experienced my first snowstorm this past winter.
  • At first, the snow twirled gently, lightly dusting the street, cars, and trees with snowy frosting.

What was jupiter and his mighty company motivation to drive the titans away
asambeis [7]

Answer:

James Baldwin (1841-1925) was an educator and prolific children’s book author who re-wrote many classic legends and myths for young readers. Myths and folktales can tell us a lot about how the world came to be and, even now, prompt us to ask ourselves questions about the world. Many cultures depend on mythology to express their values, histories, and systems of thought. Greek and Roman myths have been widely read in the West and translated into various different styles and genres: from sophisticated poetry to novel adaptations and even movies. In this myth, James Baldwin retells the tale of Jupiter and His Mighty Company in an accessible style. As you read, take note of some of the themes within the myth and how they might teach us lessons about the world we live in today.

Another answer:: They drove the Titans away because the Titans tried to kill the gods and their father, Kronos, ate Jupiter's older siblings, Jupiter is the youngest of Kronos's children.
