zzz [600]4 years ago
8 0

In "A Worn Path", Old Phoenix Jackson was able to hit the dog her cane before falling into a ditch. She waits until a young white hunter shows up and helps her out of the ditch. He is demeaning at first about her age, then shows prejudice because he says “I know you old colored people…wouldn’t miss going to town to see Santa Claus!”

She sees a nickel has fallen out of the hunter's pocket, and before taking it, she distracts him by saying that his big black dog isn't afraid of anything. Not only does he chase it off to prove her wrong, but also points a gun at her at an attempt to assert power.

The character of Phoenix Jackson is an old African-American woman who uses a thin little stick made of umbrellas to touch the ground that helps her walk.

The paths give way to the city, which is decorated for Christmas and filled with people who are crowded by Phoenix as they conduct their business.

After this, she found a dog, who barked at her. She hit the dog with her stick and she herself fell into the ditch.

She met a hunter, pocketed the nickel he dropped.

Finally, she arrived at a stone building and climbed the stairs. The receptionist asked her lots of questions. Then a nurse came and asked a question to Phoenix. Phoenix replied that her granddaughter had throat problems.

Fortunately, a nurse recognized Phoenix immediately as a grandmother who often traveled long distances to the city to get medicine for her grandson who was suffering from alkali poisoning.

The doctor asks the nurse to give Phoenix medicine.

The story ends with Phoenix arriving in the city after completing the journey. Finally, she brought medicine and returned home.

Her motivation for doing so was also revealed when she regretted how her grandson swallowed alkali which damaged his throat. She traveled to get medicine for her grandchildren who had a sore throat.

Phoenix decided that she would buy her grandson a paper windmill to take home with her with the medicine.

HELP!!! ASAP PLZ!!!!!!!
Trava [24]

Answer:

"And I must pause till it come back to me"

Explanation:

According to Marc Antony's Speech

from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, he speaks to his fellow Romans at Caesar's burial. During the course of his speech, he makes reference to Brutus' words saying that Caesar was ambitious and Mark Anthony rebuffs this by giving different instances where Caesar didn't show ambition, but humility and urges the people to mourn him.

Therefore, the statement that best summarizes Antony's overall claim in this speech is "And I must pause till it come back to me".

This is because his overall claim is that he loves Caesar and his heart is with him and he must pause so that it comes back to him (his heart)

How would the author of the Blast “True to Yourself” respond to the character of Stargirl?
poizon [28]

Answer: I tried my best

Explanation:

Stargirl is the most "manic pixie dream girl" who ever pixie-dreamgirl-ed. She's practically the prototype. She's the Alpha and Omega of the cliche, coined by critic Nathan Rabin in his review of 2005's "Elizabethtown." Stargirl dresses eccentrically, she carries around a ukulele, and her pet rat lives in her knapsack. She drifts above the rituals and pressures of high school, communing on a higher and much wiser plane. She exists in order to change the lives of others for the better. As seen through the eyes of Leo, a shy kid who only wants to fit in, she is nothing less than a Magical Creature. He believes she can actually make it rain. And maybe she can. There's something uncanny about Stargirl.
