Read this passage. Explain how the writer's choice words helps readers see that the Gleasons were not used to eating like Chines

e people. I I glanced at Meg, to see if she needed more food, and my eyes nearly popped out at the sight of her plate. It was piled with food: the sweet-and-sour meat pushed right against the chicken shreds, and the chicken sauce ran into the prawns. She had been taking food from a second dish before she finished eating her helping from the first! Horrified, I turned to look at Mrs. Gleason. She was dumping rice out of her bowl and putting it on her dinner plate. Then she ladled prawns and gravy on top of the rice and mixed everything together, the way you mix sand, gravel, and cement to make concrete. I couldn't bear to look any longer, and I turned to Mr. Gleason. He was chasing a pea around his plate. Several times he got it to the edge, but when he tried to pick it up with his chopsticks, it rolled back toward the center of the plate again. Finally he put down his chopsticks and picked up the pea with his fingers. He really did! A grown man!​

Answer:

The writer shows the narrator's surprise at the Gleasons' eating habits by saying that her "eyes nearly popped out." She provides descriptive examples, including Mr. Gleason eating with his fingers. The word choice makes it clear that the narrator recognizes that her approach to eating Chinese food is different from the Gleasons'.

Explanation:

This is the sample response. I suggest you put it in your own words because I learned the teacher checks it.

Which word from the sentence gives it an informal tone? Let’s all jump into this mess together and see if we can shovel our way
taurus [48]
Informal words are words that are used commonly, like the words you use when you talk to your best friends.  The words JUMP, MESS, and SHOVEL are all give an informal tone. Keep in mind that tone is the way the author expresses his or her feelings within the text. Remember that formal words are the words that are used to say a word more formal than the word used presently. Example: ERUDITE is a formal word for wise, CONCUR is the formal word for agree, ESOTERIC for secret and the last that I can give is FRIEND for chum<span>.</span>

QUESTION ONE: The most single and memorable day in my life occurred one week ago. I was on my way home and went across this young women, she had the most peaceful face I had ever seen.  

It was quite late that night on Central station, I was going back home coming back from Cleveland. Engrossed in my thoughts, she approached and made me realized that I had dropped a silk handkerchief. At that moment I came back to reality, looked at it and told her it wasn't mine. She said I was the only stylish men among the station that's why she was sure it was mine. I felt flattered and started talking to her. We talked for a few minutes and we realized we lived close. She lived on Amsterdam and 22nd St.  That´s I offer her a ride on my cab.e   When we arrived we walked a few blocks, I told her my building, suddenly the door was opened and all my family and friends came through the door singing happy birthday to me. That girl was my cousin from San Diego that have not seen since I was a kid and charmed me to take me home to the party.  

QUESTION TWO:

Claim for incorrect charge of account commission

To whom it May concern:

On this written I wish to express my profound dissatisfaction with the service provided. Yesterday morning I reviewed my bank statements and I realized that I had been charged for the account commission service they told me they would not charge me for six months. On December 26 th I received an email from you informing me about the promotion from which the cost of my banking package would subsidized for 6 months. And the first month after that I already notice the cost in my account. I consider it a great lack of respect because it not only damages me financially but also I must invest a large part of my time in making the claim: first by telephone and now in writing this letter (as I have been informed by your employees, you need this writting for the claim to be effective). I hope to perceive quickly on my bank account the amount charged and that you can consider as well the compensation of the extra expenses that this inconvenience caused.

I am looking forward to your response,

Cordially,

XXXXX
