Answer:

It means that the message that Paul Revere brought on his horse triggered a battle as impactful as a fire.

Explanation:

The message that Paul Revere brought on his horse and spread throughout the region started the Revolutionary War and spread like wildfire across the 13 American colonies and punctuated, at that moment, the fate of that territory. The message was powerful, impactful and spread easily, for this reason, the author compared this moment with sparks launched into the earth, generating a great fire.

Why do the narrator and his family refer to his dad's childhood home as "the Middle of Nowhere'?
Alona [7]

Answer:

It is a remote place.

Explanation:

Although there is no precise reference to the text, <em>"the middle of nowhere" is a phrase representing a very remote and usually isolated place.</em> So, the narrator and his family must think that his dad's home is far away from them and possibly far away from civilization, hence they call it "the Middle of Nowhere".

Read this excerpt from "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty."
Anna [14]

Hello. You forgot the answer options. The options are:

It creates sympathy for Mitty since readers recognize that his fantasies show how he'd like to be, not how he actually is.

It builds suspense in the story, as each of Mitty's fantasies places him in more and more danger in reality.

It injects tension in the story, as readers wait to see whether Mitty's wife will realize that her husband is unhappy.

It adds humor to the story, since Mitty acts out all of his fantasies among people who have no idea what he's doing.

Answer:

It creates sympathy for Mitty since readers recognize that his fantasies show how he'd like to be, not how he actually is.

Explanation:

"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" that tells the story of Mitty, who is a man who disconnects himself from the reality in which he lives, constantly, and finds himself trapped in heroic daydreams totally outside the reality in which he is inserted. Although this is not valued by the characters in the book, it does create an empathy between the bed and Mitty. This is because the reader understands that Mitty's daydreams are a reflection of his dissatisfaction with the real world, thus, the daydreams he presents, are a vision of what he wanted to be.

harina [27]
Okay, I will give you ideas. Lets make this guy's name Marsel, and lets say he is single, as he is around 25, and lives with his parents, and works as a surgeon. He is a tall, thin man who is a genius. His income is higher than average, and is at the higher end of the income spectrum. His business is to treat patients by cutting open their body and performing the necessary operations. He has to go to perform surgery at any time he is called, however likes spending time with his parents teaching them about the human body. His attitude toward religion is neutral, he practices it, but doesn't have much time to practice it. Toward politics he doesn't care except for picking the candidate of the party that he prefers. Toward people in general he isn't very social, but if he sees someone hurt, he has sympathy towards them. He doesn't mind animals, and doesn't care much about them, except if the animal needs something.

For the son, he is a short and chubby 3 year old boy who is curious to see new things and is playful. He makes his mom take care of him a lot.

PS: Since this doesn't make sense, if you have to, you can say that he is married.

Hope this helps!
