Read this excerpt from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. The next morning I told Mom that I couldn’t go to school, because I

was too sick. It was the first lie that I had to tell. She put her hand on my forehead and said, “You do feel a bit hot.” I said, “I took my temperature and it’s one hundred point seven degrees.” That was the second lie. She turned around and asked me to zip up the back of her dress which she could have done herself, but she knew that I loved to do it. What assumption does the narrator make in this excerpt? that his mom will worry about him that his mom will trust him that his mom knows he is lying that his mom needs his help

That his mom will trust him

Answer:

He believed that his mom would trust him

Explanation:

Whoever tells a lie, hopes that people will believe. This is no different than the storyteller, who tells lies hoping his mother will believe, especially since it is the first time he lies, so it will be easier for his mother to believe.

Discuss the structure of the second paragraph in the passage above. What is the effect of making the entire paragraph one senten
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

In the second paragraph of the excerpt above, Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of the novel, writes the entire paragraph as one sentence. This gives the paragraph importance. It draws attention to itself and she is telling us that the information is important. In the second paragraph, she writes "Then you shall be courteously entreated to call and examine, and shall find an abundance of husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, and young children, to be "sold separately, or in lots to suit the convenience of the purchaser;". " Instead of calling them "slaves", She calls them "husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, and young children," By doing so, she humanizes the enslaved people. She reminds the readers that this was happening to real people. By humanizing them, she makes she puts un in their shoes. She reminds us that if this atrocious act can be done to other people, it can also happen to us. By calling them "husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, and young children,", she is relating to the theme of slavery vs. family.
