Read this passage by Mawi Asgedom and answer the question that follows: Goals Need Grit One example of grit is JK Rowling, the w

riter of the Harry Potter books. Joanne Rowling grew up poor and worked in difficult jobs her whole life. When she was at her lowest point in her life, she set a goal to write a book about a boy wizard who overcame his challenges. After several years of working hard to write the books, her publisher told Joanne that they would not print the books with her name on them because they did not think a book written by a woman would sell any copies. Joanne was so frustrated that she wanted to give up. Instead of giving up, she thought of a creative way to get around her obstacle. Joanne borrowed the "K" from her grandmother's first name Kathleen and changed her writing name to Joanne Kathleen or JK Rowling. Today, Harry Potter is one of the bestselling books of all time. Obstacles can sometimes be opportunities in disguise. By not giving up when your goals feel impossible, you can achieve any goal that is important to you.

Answer:

The author gives Rowling's example because JK Rowling's inspirational story illustrates the author's point that 'Goals Need Grit'

Explanation:

The author wanted to give an example of illustrating how grit, or persevering in the face of obstacles, will allow you to get past those obstacles. Harry Potter is one of the all-time best selling books that quite literally pushed JK Rowling to the pinnacle of fame of success. Her journey was not easy in the slightest. She lived a difficult life before achieving incredible success as highlighted by the author. Writing a top selling series is not easy and when she came up with an idea of writing a book, she spent years working on it only to be declined by the publishers who felt that her feminine name would hamper book sales. This is a point where most people would give up out of sheer frustration. However, Rowling moved passed this as well. Her pashion for her work, her determimation and her perseverance allowed her to come up with an interesting way to put her name on the book and get away with it. As we all know, this worked brilliantly.

Therefore this example, illustrating Rowling's grit, her pashion, and her fierce desire to push past obstacles, shows how you need grit to overcome problems and achieve your goals.

Zarrin [17]

What I would have noted would be:

  • Mayella has a difficult life.
  • She hired Tom for a job and guaranteed to pay him a nickel.
  • Did Mayella really offer Tom money?
  • Tom raped her when she went to get his payment at home.

Explanation:

Mayella is a character from "To kill a mockingbird". In her testimony, she states that she hired Tom Robinsson, a black man, to beat an old man. She says that she would pay a nickel for the service and that he agreed, but when she went into the house to get the money, Tom followed and raped her. Mayella also claims that she leads a difficult life taking care of her brothers and father who has problems with drinking.

About this testimony, the jury can write down important information, about how Mayella has a complicated life, why she got in touch with Tom and how Tom managed to get into her house.

Answer: A. The Navajo live in the dry Arizona deserts.

Explanation:

The “Twelfth Song of Thunder” is a Navajo poem that celebrates the earth and its creatures. It was sung during a traditional Navajo Mountain Chant ceremony.

The Navajo people are a Native American tribe that lives in the Arizona deserts. In such an environment, there is not enough water, which causes the drought. The Navajo are thus aware of the importance of water. In this poem, they celebrate the thunder and the storms, as rainy weather will break the drought.

"I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died"
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

In this poem, the irony is that the last thing the author can perceive while waiting for her death is a fly buzzing while waiting for death to come to her.

Explanation:

  As is already known, Emily Dickinson was known for dealing with subjects such as death. The fascination that this author had with the death led her to write great poems that were highly recognized in the environment.

One of them is "I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died".

While she waits for death, and for the "<em>King</em>" who comes to look for her (which could be interpreted as God), the visit she receives is not from any divinity, but rather from a fly, which ironically represents the opposite of the divine, or to a paradise. The fly is the one that comes to rest on her dead flesh while everyone is there with her waiting for that moment.
