The author is most likely trying to emphasize (B.) a theme about how appearances can be deceiving.

The author is presenting an original reversal in<u> character depiction, that is, a literary technique that consists in portraying a character in an opposite way to his stereotype</u>, which is the way in which it is usually portrayed. While in traditional stories and legends the knight in shining armor is depicted as the hero and the dragon is presented as an evil animal and a big menace due to its size, <u>in this story the author pretends to represent the dragon as the good one and the knight as a wicked man</u>. <u>What the writer wants to emphasize is that a dragon can be peaceful and quiet despite the way it looks and a human being can be ruthless in spite of its small size; therefore, appearances can be deceiving. </u>

Where does the majority of American migrate in the early 1920’s? Why?
Rudiy27

Answer:

In the 1920s, more than 750,000 African Americans left the South, a greater movement of people than had occurred in the Irish potato famine of the 1840s. The large-scale relocation to the Northeast and West brought many other changes with it, as many largely rural people moved into cities for the first time. The majority are from Southern, Eastern and Central Europe, including 4 million Italians and 2 million Jews. Many of them settle in major U.S. cities and work in factories.

Write an exposition about a job or career you would like to have in the future. (please write about a career of doctor.)
Travka [436]

Answer:

I would like to be a medical doctor in future.

Explanation:

I would like to work in the medical field, being a medical doctor has always been my dream. I grew up in a small town in a rural area with a small hospital where my father works as a pediatric doctor. I spent a lot of time in the hospital waiting room, and sometimes I'll be allowed to visit some of the patients. I liked to pretend I was a doctor and ask them questions and luckily for me they went along with me. From there my fascination with the medical career starts.

My friends and I all wanted to be doctors, but as we grew up everyone found their passion lies elsewhere. Everyone except me, the ambition only grew more with me, I have neevr been under any pressure to choose a future career because I've known what I wanted to be since I was 5 years old.

I want to keep an adaptable mindset about my future career, I don't want to confine myslef to one particular branch just yet, the whole medical field fascinates me and if at all I possible want to explore as much of it as I can.

I don't want to work in a city or even a small town, I want to work in places where access to medical care is difficult, I once toyed with the idea of working with Doctors Without Borders, but my options are open.

I am motivated by the challenge of providing medical care to people in very remote areas of the world.

Becoming a medical doctor has always been my dream, and that is what i will be.
