English
1 answer:
vaieri [72.5K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Her perspective changed when she realized that too many lives have been lost while she quietly observes, in accordance to her Mormon belief of not questioning things and keeping quiet about it.

Explanation:

In her account of her family's Mormon beliefs and fights against the hereditary cancer that seemed to take a toll on them, Terry Tempest Williams wrote about how she had quietly observed the pain and struggle according to her Mormon belief. She wrote <em>The Clan of One-Breasted Women</em>  to reveal how this blind faith has led to the quiet observance of the deaths and sufferings of the women in her life.

She admits that though her family/ community's belief made everything seem fine. She remembers being taught that <em>"authority is respected, obedience is revered, and independent  thinking is not."</em> She was also warned as a small girl not to <em>"make waves"</em> or <em>"rock the boat"</em>, which she had been doing until the cancer cases became more than she can simply let go. She came to realize how much damage has been done while she plays the silent spectator. She decides that her beliefs may not be the main cause of the deaths of the many beautiful people in her life. But being silent even after all the loss in her life is not something that she can endure anymore. This realization brought a change in her perspective on her Mormon faith.

How is conformity and individuality shown in "no gumption"
Vesna [10]

Individuality has been shown in "No Gumption" by showing the traits and the characteristics of Russell Baker that his mother realized which made him a writer. One of that situation was when he was eleven years old, he brought a text graded with A and his mother decided he could be a writer

<u>Explanation:</u>

"No Gumption" is a chapter taken from autobiography of Russell Baker where he tells how for his mother he did not have gumption at all, he was a shy boy who had to help his family in a difficult time, after his father's death. In this chapter, the writer is in the obligation of selling magazines to support his family, but the decision was made by his mother, because he was the man of the family and he was superposed to bring some money.

Unfortunately he was not like his younger sister Doris, who was intelligent and diligent. He had this job during a time, but he did not succeed, he did not feel comfortable ringing doors, actually, he felt scared of this. Finally, when he was eleven years old, he brought a text graded with A and his mother decided he could be a writer, and this time he liked this decision, because writers did not have to sell, writers did not have to ring doors.
