How could someone best determine if the speaker is telling the truth

DerKrebs [107]

To determine if someone talking is telling the truth, watch for body language. IF the person is fidgeting, keeps looking away, or stumbles upon their words, there is a high possibility they aren't telling the truth.
Ask yourself if what they are saying is possible or makes sense

what evidence in Music for My Mother supports the statement that shows that moving to a new country is hard ?

Katen [24]

Answer:

After dinner my older brother liked to play the guitar. He preferred

the music he heard on the radio, but he played the traditional

songs for Mama. She enjoyed things that reminded her of home.

Her eyes hurt and her fingers would get sore from long hours of

work as a seamstress. I remember washing dishes while Pedrito sang:

“And seeing myself so lonely and sad like a leaf in the wind, I want

to cry . . . from this feeling.”

He sang in Spanish, which is how the lyrics were written. That

song is more than 100 years old now. Mama learned it when she was

a girl.

Papa tried to nudge Mama out of her nostalgia sometimes. He

would answer her in English when she spoke to him in Spanish. His

English was not very good at first, but he worked at it until it got

better.

Mama usually answered him in Spanish. They would go back

and forth in either language, talking about work or homesickness

or family. Pedrito or I would occasionally correct them or help them

finish their sentences in English. Papa would thank us. Mama would

just smile and shake her head. But she always repeated the words we

had helped her with. In time her English got better too, but she was

far more at ease in her native tongue.

I was seven years old when we came to the United States. Pedrito

was 11. Papa was a carpenter who also knew a little about plumbing

and electricity. From an early age, my brother and I learned how to

take care of ourselves in our new home. Our parents worked long

hours, and they counted on us to be independent.

At first we were almost like guides for Mama and Papa. In big

busy places, like the mall or the registry of motor vehicles, they felt

uncomfortable, if not overwhelmed. It was easier for us to adjust

to environments that were fast-paced and not always friendly. I felt

protective of my parents and also proud of how quickly I learned my

way around.

It would hurt my feelings to see the way some people looked at us.

For a while, on Sundays and holidays we would wear our best clothes

from home. Before long, we learned to wear casual clothes almost all

the time, like most people in this country do. And after a while, our

parents became more at ease in stores or government offices. They

relaxed a little, I suppose, and we attracted less attention.

Mama and Papa live with Pedrito now, in a two-family home

outside of Houston. Pedrito is now known as Peter. He runs a

construction business that employs 14 men and women.

Papa is in his seventies now. Pedrito would like for him to

slow down a little and enjoy retirement, but Papa says that Mama

wouldn’t want him sitting around the house getting in her way.

He rises at dawn almost every day and goes to work with Pedrito,

building houses.

I am a teacher. This summer I will be taking my son, Michael, to

visit his grandparents. He is twelve. He wants to learn to play the

guitar. I want Mama and his Uncle Peter to teach him a few of the

good old songs.

Read the excerpt from The Code Book. Just as Whit Diffie predicted in the early 1970s, we are now entering the Information Age,

k0ka [10]

Answer:

What kind of information is the author talking about?
What does the word "commodity" mean?
What role does digital information play in society?

Explanation:

The three questions selected above are very important to be used during the text interpretation process, because when trying to answer these questions the reader can understand the sentence "information is the most valuable commodity" which is essential for understanding the text as a whole.

That's because these questions point to the main message that the text wants to convey, as it focuses on the value of information in modern life and how it can be used commercially, increasing its value. Furthermore, these questions establish the importance of the internet within this system that is only likely to grow.

In your experience, how do we define the roles of men and women? Are these roles helpful,

andriy [413]

Answer:

Roles of women: house work (cleaning), raising children, sewing, babysitting, shopping at grocery stores for items for meal preparation.

Roles of men: A steady income, college educated, getting women pregnant and having a large family with at least two boys.

Explanation: The possibilities of having the above mentioned done would be that you can have multiple grandchildren in the many decades down the road, a way to make things to go in your house rather than hiring people to come in a decorate your home, you have an outlet from your husbands or wives job by bouncing in between jobs (wife/husband), having the ability to carry on the family name which in certain cultures are socially acceptable, and that when you are college educated you become a more well rounded individual in society.

My only two cites that I can give to the above mentioned would be this:

1.) My life is similar to this as I am a high school student trying to get to college to get a degree in the arts and....

2.) The movie "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood"

Hope this helps! Dee Dee Riley
