The old watch: their thick eyes puff and foreclose by the moon. The young, heads trailed by the beginnings of necks, shiver, in the guarantee they shall be bodies. In the frog pond the vapor trail of a SAC bomber creeps, I hear its drone, drifting, high up in immaculate ozone. 2 And I hear, coming over the hills, America singing, her varied carols I hear: crack of deputies' rifles practicing their aim on stray dogs at night, sput of cattleprod, TV going on about the smells of the human body, curses of the soldier as he poisons, burns, grinds, and stabs the rice of the world, with open mouth, crying strong, hysterical curses. eyes crinkled shut at almost seeing the drifting sun that gives us

Read the excerpt from "First Generation" of Dreaming in Cuban, by Cristina Garcia.

GalinKa [24]

The choice that best explains how Garcia's word choice helps establish her voice in the excerpt is: C. Garcia uses short, forceful words to assert a pessimistic opinion on fate.

In the writing above, we find that Garcia used short phrases separated by commas to paint a pessimistic opinion about the fate of a former baseball player.

The use of words like frustrated and wicked paint a pessimistic picture about the fate of the player.

In Sherlock Holmes, what suggests that Watson has an expert in understanding of the habits of Holmes?

sergejj [24]

Answer:

“To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again.” (paragraph 1)

“His manner was not effusive. It seldom was; but he was glad, I think, to see me.” (paragraph 2)

Explanation:

The two lines above show that Watson had become an expert in studying Holmes. In the first, Watson himself, admits that he knows every mood and habit of Holmes and how they told their own stories. He was able to deduce from them that Holmes was working again.

In the second line, Watson was able to deduce that Holmes was glad to see him even though his manner was not revealing this.

White man's burden.

Korolek [52]

<span>In the White man's burden, I think that Kipling's true motivation in writing this poem is simply because of the racial dominance and he's also interested in helping others people who are discriminated because of their race. He stated in the White man's burden the racism and also to prevent its destructive effects. </span>
