Whatever the reason, a swell of approval palpable as rain lifted from the center of the crowd and rolled out toward its edges, w

here it crashed against buildings and water wall and rolled back at Scotty with redoubled force, lifting him off his stool, onto his feet (the roadies quickly adjusting the microphones), exploding the quavering husk Scotty had appeared to be just moments before and unleashing something strong, charismatic, and fierce. Anyone who was there that day will tell you the concert really started when Scotty stood up. How does the author portray Scotty in this excerpt?

Answer:

A). His confidence is transformed by the crowd's response.

Explanation:

Characterization plays a vital role in conveying the intended picture or image of a particular character to the audience so that they could elicit desired response about each character accordingly.

As per the question, Scotty in the given excerpt from 'A Visit from the Goon Squad' is portrayed as the one 'whose confidence boosts and gets transformed by receiving the positive and encouraging response from the audience' by the author. The author begins the passage with presenting Scotty as a little nervous and quavering and he had to redouble his force in order to face the audience but the audience's cheer and the swell of approval from the center of the crowd gave transformed his confidence and brought the hidden 'strong, charismatic, and fierce' side of Scotty. Therefore, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

The major theme of Thank you, M'am is kindness and trust can bring positive change in an individual. In 1 or 2 well constructed
k0ka [10]

Answer:

One theme in Thank you, Ma'am is the power of compassion. After nearly having her purse stolen by Roger, Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones has every right to turn toward him in anger and even demand some form of justice. However, she meets Roger with compassion, going so far as to open her home to him. Mrs. Jones has a keen perception about Roger's circumstances, and when he tells her, "There's nobody home at my house," Mrs. Jones provides a meal to this wold-be thief.

The story ends with the note that Roger "want[s] to say something else other than 'Thank you, m'am'" for the compassion he's been shown, and although it is noted that the paths of these two never cross again, it seems that Mrs. Jones has given Roger a reason to choose a different path in life.

Another theme is that human strength can be found in unlikely places. Roger certainly doesn't choose a "victim" who he thinks will put up a fight. Not only does Mrs. Jones retain possession of her purse, she also effectively takes control of the situation:But the boy's weight and the weight of the purse combined caused him to lose his balance so, instead of taking off full blast as he had hoped, the boy fell on his back on the sidewalk, and his legs flew up. The large woman simply turned around and kicked him right square in his blue-jeaned sitter. Then she reached down, picked the boy up by his shirt front, and shook him until his teeth rattled.

Furthermore, she chastises the boy and questions whether he's ashamed of himself. Roger underestimates the wrong lady, and Mrs. Jones proves herself a fearless adversary when attacked.

Finally, in the fallout of an attempted mugging, this story explores one final theme: the duality of trust. Mrs. Jones has to extend trust to invite Roger into her home. Likewise, Roger has to extend trust to allow himself to be led away into her home and to remain there when he realizes that he has the opportunity to bolt. In order to mend relationships and society at large, people must extend trust to each other, even in difficult situations.

ear friends, more than one man, or two, should know those things Circe foresaw for us and shared with me, so let me tell her for
Viktor [21]
This is from Homer's The Odyssey, correct?

If so then the protagonist is Odysseus, who is saying those lines. Circe was another character who informed Odysseus to plug his ears with wax and have his men tie him to a mast when they passed the Sirens cove. Scylla and Charybdis are two monsters they come across next. After they reach an island, <span>Eurylochus is another character who betrays the team. Zeus punishes the crew after they slaughter sacred cattle. </span>
