Answer:
- The sentence that best explains how the context of the excerpt supports the author's idea is: <u><em>"When photographs of the faces of all those who died in the World Trade Center destruction are assembled in one place, it will be possible to trace in the skin color, the shape of the eyes and the noses, the texture of the hair, a map of the world."</em></u>
- Quindlen uses the context of the World Trade Center attacks to describe the unity among Americans of all different nationalities.
Explanation:
We can see that Quindlen's idea that all Americans unite during times of difficulty is present when she talks about the Tade Center destruction and how people from different ethnicities and nationalities died. The loss of all of them was equally felt by Americans because, even if all the victims were different, it is the loss of the people that makes our nation.
The attack on the World Trade Center is a clear example of how Americans, even with their different nationalities, come together during hard times thank patriotism, which makes all the citizens leave their differences behind for the country.
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
The question above is related to the story entitled "Another Place, Another Time," written by<em> Cory Doctorow. </em>It focuses on the protagonist named Gilbert and his curiousity about time. When it comes to Gilbert's feelings about time, he believes that <em>time is another dimension </em>and <u>people are capable of going back or going forward</u><em> (in a similar fashion to that of time trave</em>l). So, this makes the statement above as "false," because it didn't focus on time as something we have no control of, but<em> something we can control.</em>
This explains the answer.
The Balinese production of The Tempestuses shadow puppetry to display an interpretation of William Shakespeare’s famous work. This alternative form of performance focuses more on the fluidity, or sharpness, of the characters’ movement. When analyzing Ariel in this form, it is very apparent that her actions are very projected compared to other characters, by the excess movement of her arms and fingers. However, this projection is shown not with velocity in motion, but with a very smooth complexion in Ariel’s movement. This emphasizes the fragility of her character by connecting her to something very easily tampered with, like the smoothness of still water, that changes with something even as soft as a breeze. The Balinese play also uses the clever technique of utilizing their lighting as a form of portraying Ariel’s character, by physically moving the actor towards and away from the light in order to change the size of the shadow shown. This was well utilized by not only Ariel, but the entire Balinese cast. When Prospero manipulates Ariel into believing that her deed was an act of gratitude for releasing her from her imprisonment, the cast makes Prospero noticeably larger in size and Ariel noticeably smaller. This adds dynamic contrast to the characters and allows the audience to view Ariel as much more timid and frail, as well as Prospero much scarier and evil.
