Based on the essay, compare the dreams of the author and her mother. Support your answer with relevant and specific details from
Orlov [11]

Answer:

In the essay, Judith Ortiz Cofer presents the same yet different dreams of the mother-daughter duo. While both seemed to wish for the same wish of the ability of flight, their objectives behind the wish are not that similar.

Explanation:

In Judith Ortiz Cofer's essay <em>"Volar"</em>, she mentioned in the first paragraph her own dreams of having superpowers, like her hero Supergirl. Then, she would <em>"would get on tip-toe, arms outstretched in the position for flight and jump out my fifty-story-high window into the black lake of the sky [....] and look inside the homes of people who interested me</em>". She believed herself to be the same as the fictional superhero, but waking up to the same <em>"tiny bedroom [....] back in my body: my tight curls still clinging to my head, skinny arms and legs . . . unchanged"</em>.

The second paragraph focuses on the parents who would have their "<em>time</em>" before she was woken up by her mother <em>"exactly forty-five minutes after they had gotten up"</em>. The mother wishes to visit her relatives, her <em>"familia on the Island"</em> or go to the beach and have a vacation. And in a loving manner, these propositions will be brought down by her husband. And right before she went to wake up her daughter, she;'d say <em>"Ay, si yo pudiera volar"</em> which is basically meant to say she wish she could fly.

In a way, both the mother and the daughter seem to have the same desire of flight as their wish, though they may also differ in their objective. The mother's wish was to be able to get to her "<em>familia</em>" while the young daughter’s wish was to escape from her reality and be a superhero like her idol Supergirl.

Orwell says that the incident with the elephant
Stels [109]

Answer:

When Orwell relates his experience with the elephant in “Shooting an Elephant” it gives some insight into his own psyche as well as the structure of imperialism. In this moment, he criticizes imperialism, showing that the leaders are controlled by the masses just as much as, if not more so than, the other way around.

He describes himself as being despised by the Burmese people. He is a colonial policeman, and in this role, he is associated with imperial British rule, propped up by the threat of force. (Orwell himself served in the Indian imperial police for a time, so the narrator's voice is likely his own.) When the elephant tears through the bazaar, killing a coolie, the Burmese crowd demands that he shoot and kill it. He does not want to do this, because by the time he arrives on the scene, the elephant has calmed, and no longer poses a threat to anybody. Orwell reflects that, in order to appease the angry crowd, he has to fill the role that they expect of him, which is that of a hated "tyrant." This is the paradoxical nature of empire- he must compromise his morality, become what the Burmese people already think he is, or risk their laughter and scorn. For someone that has already determined that he hates British imperialism, the incident is profoundly unsettling, but in a "roundabout way enlightening." It underscores the duality of empire, a world in which a man like Orwell can, as he says in the account, hold remarkably contradictory feelings:

The incident illustrates that, whatever objections they may have to British rule, imperial officials have to be hated to be respected.

The sentence from the deciver unmasked is the best example of an emotional appeal, Or an appeal to the Audience’s feelings
mezya [45]

Hello. You did not enter the sentence to which the question refers, which makes it impossible for that question to be answered. However, I can help you by showing you what an emotional appeal is that directly targets the audience's feelings. This way you will be guided to interpret the sentence and find your answer.

Pathos is the term that refers to the moment when an actor writes a sentence to appeal to the audience's emotional. This sentence will not present logical facts to convince the public about something, but it will be a sentimental sentence, which will try to attract and shape the public's attention through the proliferation of feelings. This sentence can have a melancholy, happy, empathic, patriotic, nationalist, hateful content, among others that make the reader "feel" something and not, necessarily, reason about something.

Here's an example:

In the phrase "street animals have nothing to eat, soon they will look for food in the domestic waste, to satisfy hunger" the author used an appeal to logic, to present an increase. If an animal is hungry, it will logically look for food.

On the other hand, the phrase "I could see in the animals' countenance the hunger and sadness that the environment in which they lived imposed on him. Thin, crestfallen and without hope, they wag their tails and give sad looks to everyone who passed by," the author makes a appeal to the emotional, because it causes pity, sadness and empathy, for the situation of the animals.
