Answer:

"On Being a Cripple" by Nancy Mairs (1986)

The claim in Nancy's article or short story is, "I am a cripple."

Explanation:

Nancy's claim is the assertion about her physical condition. Nancy does not provide any evidence to support her affirmation.  Unfortunately, there is no way for the reader to verify Nancy's reason for describing herself as a "cripple."  Her claim remains subjective or a matter of the narrator's personal opinion.  Nancy can even claim that her physical condition is a divine blessing.

Many imprecise descriptions are coined by society to label some people.  Nancy feels that the truth or bluntness about a person's condition cannot lessen the pain nor denigrate the person. There are humorous meanings to be derived when described as a "cripple" without the use of meaningless metaphors.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:If I could hang out with an famous person for an day it would be Rosa Parks. I would ask her how it actually happened. How she refused to sit down? What did the man say or do to her after she refused? I would also ask what was the boycott like? Was it fun? Was it dangerous? Did it make you feel empowered? I would go to the "Rosa Parks Museum" so she can show me where she sat and demonstrate what happened.
