Answer:
The imagery evokes an emotional response about strong family connections.
Explanation:
The historical novel "Pushing the Bear" by Diane Glancy is an exploration of the life of the Cherokee people removed from their own lands. This recounts an experiment of the Cherokee along their journey during the Trail of Tears.
As given in the passage, imagery is used by the narrator to describe the emotional response of strong family ties. The allusion to <em>"my grandmother’s scissors and her bone hairpin and shell beads"</em>, <em>"the bed my father helped Knobowtee make"</em>, <em>"the nutting stone and pestles"</em> and the <em>"grandmother's voice" </em>are all reminiscence of the family and the memories left behind. And the result of all these memories made the narrator faint out of grief.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
Answer:Jackie has already met her parents.
Explanation:
I used met because it's a past tense rather than will meet.
The correct answer is going on a first date.
This Gary Soto’s poem, <em>Oranges</em>, describes the feelings of a boy going on a first date, most probably, for the first time in his life. That is the reason why we can say that the poem depicts a rite of passage, because this was a significant turning point in his life.
The first date is described as the first time he walked with a girl. He picks her up. She is wearing make-up. The physical contact between them is shy and gentle and he leds her down the street. He invites her a chocolate bar and the poet keeps on describing his thoughts an feelings to vividly recreate that passage from being a naive boy to a hormonal teenager.
I believe it is the third option but it could be the fourth.
