This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
From Caramelo, by Sandra Cisneros
"A bungalow, a duplex, a brownstone, an apartment. Something, anything, because the Grandmother’s gloominess was the contagious kind, infecting every member of the household as fiercely as the bubonic plague".
The figurative language in lines 5 through 7 establishes a tone of
1) loneliness
2)confusion
3)desperation
4)shame
Answer: 3)desperation
Explanation:
The description of the grandmother´s bad mood like something contagious as a plague shows the desperation the character feels in that situation. The grandmother being unhappy and therefore mean to those who live with her, pushes the narrator and everyone in that family to desperately find somewhere else for her to live.
Fever Pitch is an autobiography, so it is about the writer.
The book is about the author's relationship with football, and about football matches that the author watched. So the book is technically about football.
Answer:
Father makes the boys replace the Duvitch family's fish.
Explanation:
In the short story "The Strangers That Came to Town" by Ambrose Flack, the plot of the story revolves around the Duvitch family who were deemed strange and weird by the residents of Syringa Street. But one incident led to the change in everyone's perspective, making the family a new 'attraction' for the whole neighborhood.
The stereotypical treatment of the Duvitch family led everyone to not talk to or approach them, and they were kept all alone in their own world. So, when the fishing trip that the boys and their father took led to an unfortunate incident, Father made the boys fish until they had re-compensated whatever loss they had made Mr. Duvitch suffer. Father's act of making the boys replace the dead/ murdered fishes best supports the theme of stereotypical behavior.
Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
