Using "president Cleveland, where are you?" respond to the following prompt: Explain how authors use historical times or events
pantera1 [17]

"President Cleveland: Where are you?" is a story written by author Robert Cormier and it was published in 1998. Based on the historical event of the Panic of 1893 and the presidency of Grover Cleveland, the 22nd and 24th President of the United States, who was elected twice (1885-1889 and 1893 to 1897), this author develops a story that in appearance has absolutely nothing to do with the historical event, but in truth derives its essence from history. This short story talks about a young boy, Jerry, who, during the presidency of Cleveland, as mentioned by the text itself, faces a hard decision; to spend his hard-earned money on buying chewing gum, or buying a present for his father. In the end, Jerry regrets his decision of not buying a present for his dad and is forced to mature through the consequences of his actions. The importance of the lesson learned by Jerry is underlined by the mention of the text of the hard economic times faced by people during the Panic of 1893 and he has to choose between what he wants, which is to help his siblings get the present, or spend the money as he wishes.

There are other historical novels in which authors do the same thing; they use historical facts and events to either give their story credibility or reinforce the ideas and messages set forth (as is the case of this story). One such example is "Grapes of Wrath" by Jonh Steinbeck, who not only uses historical data to create his fictional story, but the entire structure depends on these historical facts to lend credibility to it. Without this historical data, neither "President Cleveland, where are you", nor "Grapes of Wrath" would be able to deliver their message, which are grounded in history itself. However, because the purpose of these authors is not to make their stories a history guide, they just use certain data and intersperse it into their work, without making it the focus of the story or the main purpose.

Select the appropriate synonym or antonym for the underlined word below:
galben [10]

Answer:

Insidiously

Explanation:

All the other words don't make sense if you were to substitute them into the sentence.

Insidiously  = something that occurs slowly

This means that the word "insidiously" would be the antonym of "quickly."

What is the difference between a book report and a summary ???? please help greatly needed.
Tju [1.3M]

Book report will usually take 200-250 words. Book reviews will range from 200 words if it's a simple book to 1000+ words if it's a piece of scholarly literature that needs thorough analysis and evaluation. STRUCTURE. The structure of two papers resemble one another: first off, you would need to introduce the author, the book, state when and who the book was published by. You would need to mention characters, mention the plot, genre, and major themes. 

MESSAGE. If you write a book report, you would need to simply sum up the book plot, characters, state major themes and say a few words about the major characters. If you are writing a book summary, the main idea is to say whether or not you like the book, whether or not you would recommend this book to other readers and why. 

Summary is simple, sweet, short and gets the message across with very few words. In a summary you tell what happened in the book but not too much, you still want to keep the reader's attention.

Book Reviews explain the entire thing from beginning  to end.
