Read this excerpt from Daisy Miller, in which Winterbourne tries to understand Daisy, and answer the question. Never, indeed, si

nce he had grown old enough to appreciate things, had he encountered a young American girl of so pronounced a type as this. Certainly she was very charming, but how deucedly sociable! Was she simply a pretty girl from New York State? Were they all like that, the pretty girls who had a good deal of gentlemen's society? Or was she also a designing, an audacious, an unscrupulous young person? In a 150 word response, give your opinion about whether Daisy was an innocent flirt or a manipulator who deliberately defied social norms. Support your opinion with at least two reasons or examples from the text.

I would argue that the character of the young Daisy Miller was an innocent flirt rather than a manipulator. She was full of life, of freedom, of sincerity, and of grace, and she was beautiful, carefree, charming, and certainly ahead of her time, but she was far from being a manipulator. She had "a great deal of gentlemen's society," as she herself pointed out, but she was unpretentious, "unsophisticated," and "completely uncultivated," as Winterbourne described her, so it is possible to say that she acted naturally, not in a manipulative way.  

This can also be confirmed in the passage that narrates the moment when they both met: "... (Daisy) was a coquette; he was sure she had a spirit of her own; but in her bright, sweet, superficial little visage there was no mockery, no irony." This, once again, indicates that she was honest and straightforward, and far from Machiavellian.

PLEASE HELP ASAP TIME LIMITWhich sentence is correctly punctuated?
sattari [20]

Answer:

The sentence that is correctly punctuated is the following one: "Let's get going," Ginnie shouted, "it's getting dark!"

Explanation:

The sentence above is a direct quotation. Quotation marks are for when you want to include someone else's words in your own writing. What is more, direct quotations contain a quote in which you report the exact words used.

In this case, the quote has been split. When you split a quote to introduce a parenthetical, you shouldn't  capitalize the second part of the quote example: (it's getting dark!"). Also, the exclamation mark goes inside the quote because it applies to the quoted material, not to the whole sentence. For these reasons, the sentence chosen is the one that is  correctly punctuated.
