Oh, Land of the sun! I dream of seeing you, now that I find myself so far from you, shopping in a foreign supermarket. Everythin

g is so coldly organized, sterile, functional that I am horrified. I ask myself what the hidden reason is behind this system of shopping. It seems that presenting food products in this manner has the objective of numbing our will and happiness. Upon seeing carrots, corn, lettuce, even cilantro, disguised to appear real even though they’ve been frozen for months, one feels that it’s all part of a big set for an American movie. It’s as if we are part of a huge superproduction in which we act as if we are choosing, buying, and eating these foods, but everything is simulated. In Mexico I am accustomed to going to the market every day, chatting with the merchants, tasting bites of fruit (real fruit) at each stand, running into my neighbors and talking to them among the magical smells and colors that are found only there. I am, essentially, accustomed to life.

Answer:

...a big set for an American movie.

Explanation:

The statement above is related on how meals and vegetables/fruits are packed in the supermarkets. Also in Brazil I used to go to an open free market every Sunday where I can feel myself next to the Nature, taste the fruits and choose each carrot, potato or lettuce. It´s like an old fashion life style.

Evaluate the scene where Della and Jim exchange gifts. What effect does this situation have on the story? Which stage of plot de
Harman [31]

Answer:

Before Della and Jim exchange gifts, the reader sees anxiety between them about the fact that Della cut her hair. When the characters exchange gifts, the reader and the characters see the situational irony of the moment. Both characters sacrificed something they deeply valued to buy something the other would value. Yet what the characters sell makes the gifts they receive useless. The exchange of the gifts is the climax because the story revolves around the purchase of these gifts and what they represent. The story is resolved when the characters realize that their presents are materially useless but symbolize the deep love they share.

This would be the climax of the story because we are anticipating the reactions of both of the lovers. The falling acting would be after this, when they accept each others sacrifice for each other and enjoy a Christmas meal together.
