Answer:

Dystopian fiction exaggerates existing problems in our reality to show readers what could happen if society continues down a certain path like taking its "quest for perfection too far".

Explanation:

In Shelby Ostergaard's informational text "Someone Might Be Watching- An Introduction to Dystopian Fiction", the author claims how dystopian worlds are not a faraway idea of humanity. Considering the wants and constant pressure of humanity to achieve further advancement and development might as well bring upon the fictional world of a dystopia that has been the work of only writers.

This possibility of attaining a dystopian world is not a far fetched idea. Though just a work of fiction, these presentations of a world where there is loss of liberty, individuality and misinformation are a much nearer reality of man's current situation. Aside from the present issues of scientific progress and even the dark side of any research on the scientific and health, man seems to want more better things, which is reasonable. Man's wants are impossible to be fulfilled, for they want something or the other even after gaining what they want in the first place. Likewise, the unwarranted wants of man for perfection may lead to the fictionalized worlds of dystopian society which we have, till now, seen only in the books. The writer ends the text with a warning about what or how <em>"the world might look like if we take our quest for perfection too far"</em>, just as a fun-house mirror shows the 'unnoticed' flaws of a person.

Answer:

Explanation:

The protagonist's main purpose is to be able to express herself as an American, due to the fact that she now lives in the United States. We learn that she is very happy to be able to express herself properly in this way when she says: "When I was done, I read over my words, and my eyes filled. I finally sounded like myself in English!" However, the protagonist also wants us to learn how her family's past has impacted their views, and the deep connection that she feels with her mother. This is obvious when the protagonists says that her mother tried to make her feel better after her fight with her father. We also learn that her mother was very supportive:

"“Go away,” I wailed, but we both knew I was glad she was there, and I needed only a moment’s protest to save face before opening that door.

Please give brainliest!

Mazyrski [523]
I can just give you a suggestion of a story that I have watched. It's " How the Grinch stole the Christmas". The theme of the cartoon is that Christmas is not about presents. One evidence from the cartoon is that after Grinch stole all the presents from the people's houses, they were still happy and they were singing together by holding hands like the presents were nothing for them. At the end the Grinch realized his mistake and gave back all the staffs that he stole.

I hope it helps a little.
