Which statement most clearly illustrates Yuchin's vanity in "The Bane of the Internet"?

English

<u>Answer:</u>

"You don't get it, sister. I cannot drive a Chinese model. If I did, people would think I am cheap and laugh at me."

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the short story, "The Bane of the Internet" by Ha Jin, this statement is written by Yuchin in an e-mail to her sister (who is also the narrator), demanding her to lend Yuchin a sum of $10,000 so that she could buy a foreign car, even if it was doubly rated (as the narrator mentions), because she didn't want to appear "cheap" by getting a Chinese car which was priced less. This sentence shows her excessive concern with her image and status, and hence clearly illustrates her vanity. Her sister realises that Yuchin had also caught the auto mania.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • The first one shows her need to be above or impress her ex-husband, which was not the real reason she was buying an expensive car, as the narrator later realises.
  • The second one shows her envy towards her niece for owning a car.
  • The last one illustrates her adamant and headstrong nature, bordering to manipulation, but not vanity.

olga_2 [115]

Answer: I haven't read the book so please take this with a grain of salt but I believe the answer would be C, "As teenagers get older, parents should help them avoid more serious negative consequences." Exerting control might be too much, letting the teenager be too rebellious would lead to disobeyment, and letting them do it again isn't a good idea. I apologize if you get the answer wrong, good luck!

Explain the use of narrative structure in "A Jury of Her Peers," focusing particularly on the notion of "resolution." How does t
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

"A Jury of Her Peers'' was written by Susan Glaspell. She employs a narrative tone to describe the story. The resolution forms part of the story and it's where the story ends. It is at this point that conflicts are resolved and the story comes to an end. The plot was considered as a feminist literature because two female characters were trying to come up with a solution to a mystery. Mrs Hale and Mrs Peters came up with the conclusion that Mrs Wright killed her husband, and her actions are justified. The circumstances behind the death of John Wright leaves the townsmen  in a state of confusion as to what could have led to his death. Mrs Wright killed her husband because she was physically abused by her. Mrs Hale and Mrs Peters hide the evidence against her because they understand how it feels to be humiliated and oppressed by a man. In the end, Mrs Wright is granted freedom.
