What decision did grandmother take when she realized her end was near?

English
1 answer:
Leokris [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The grandmother decided to spend her remaining time to <em>pray while lying in bed.</em> <u>She didn't want to communicate with anyone in the family</u> about it because<em> she thought it would just waste her time.</em>

Explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled "The Portrait of a Lady," written by Kushwant Singh. The story focuses on  the author and his relationship with his grandmother. They started having a close relationship at the beginning but ended up growing apart especially when the author decided to study out of the country.

It was very common for the grandmother to spend time with her sparrows in the veranda. Thus, when she died, it seemed like the sparrows were mourning for her death as they were surrounding her.

How does People Could Fly educate us
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

When Africans were brought to the United States as slaves, they lived in horrible conditions. They were beaten by overseers, or the people who watched over them. They were fed terrible food - or sometimes not fed at all - and worked long days doing grueling work.

Some slaves would tell a story of slaves being able to fly away from the plantations where they worked. This story was told over and over and passed down through generations. Stories that are told this way are called folktales.

''The People Could Fly,'' Virginia Hamilton's version of this African-American folktale, tells the story of Sarah and Toby and what happens when they discover that they can fly.

Africans who were moved to the United States as slaves endured horrible conditions.

How it All Begins

Sarah, a slave hard at work in the fields in the hot sun, is working with her baby on her back. Her baby starts to cry, and the bosses at the plantation notice. The plantation is run by the Master, Overseer, and Driver. They are violent men who beat the slaves, and when the Driver notices that Sarah's baby is starting to cry, he beats the baby. Toby, another slave working the fields, runs over to Sarah and whispers into her ear: Kum ... yali, kum buba tambe.

Suddenly, Sarah is floating! The Overseer is shocked to see Sarah floating, and tries to chase her. But Sarah is faster than the Overseer, and she flies away from the fields.Explanation:

Describe the connection between the pros-and-cons
Burka [1]

Answer:

The pros-and-cons list was drawn because the children were doubtful of whether the decision to move was the right one. If the pros outweighed the cons, that would convince the children that the decision to move was the right one.

Explanation:

In this text by Heidi Stemple, we learn of how her father became ill with cancer and it became necessary for the family to move from their home in Myrtle Beach, Carolina. Being the only daughter of her parents, Heidi had to move with her husband and children. The children were unwilling to move and that prompted drawing the pros and cons list.

The cons were mainly suggested by the children. But in the end, they were all converted to pros when they reasoned on them with their mother.
