Answer:

The author appeals to the senses of smell and touch in "Two Kinds".

Explanation:

"Two Kinds" is a short story by author Amy Tan. The narrator is Jing-mei, who tells us the story of how her Chinese mother once decided she should be a child prodigy. After testing Jing-mei on several subjects only to be disappointed, her mother finally decided her daughter should take piano lessons with Mr. Chong. The piano teacher lived with his mother, Old Lady Chong.

To describe Lady Chong, the author uses imagery, a literary device that consists of appealing to the five senses. Imagery helps readers visualize and feel what is being described, which helps the author to establish the mood and, consequently, get an emotional response from the reader. In "Two Kinds", the author appeals to smell and touch as she describes Old Lady Chong:

<em> She had a peculiar smell, like a baby that had done  something in its pants, and her fingers felt like a dead person's, like an old peach I once found in the back  of the refrigerator: its skin just slid off the flesh when I picked it up. </em>

Thanks to this description, the reader is able to picture Lady Chong's smell and the touch of her skin as he/she reads. It conveys the impression the narrator herself - a 9-year-old girl - had of lady Chong.

Read this excerpt from Ani's evaluation of Dan DeLuca's argument in his article "Dylan's Nobel Prize Settles Debate: Rock Lyrics
timurjin [86]

Ani analyses how "DeLuca's haphazard patchwork of reasoning and evidence leaves the reader wondering whether he believes his own claim".  According to Ani he quotes not only supporters of the Nobel price committee but also detractors. He includes a sampling of Dylan's lyrics and leaves them to speak for themselves.

The evidence (quotes) from the article that best supports Ani's evaluation are:

1. "And it’s a good thing [his lyrics] have been published, because if you’ve gone to see the famously sneering and syllable-garbling Dylan play live in recent years, you probably couldn’t understand a word he was singing."  

We could interpret this quote as contradictory, it is not necessarily for or against Dylan's Nobel Price. You could say he is confusing his readers, he seems to be against the sung lyrics and for the published ones.  

2. "On one end of Dylan's songwriting spectrum is the vengeful, resolute, and timeless 'Masters Of War' . . . . It’s high dudgeon at its finest: ‘Let me ask you one question: Is your money that good? / Will it buy you forgiveness? Do you think that it could?"

Ani also says that he does a sampling of the lyrics and allows them to speak for themselves.  This excerpt shows part of a lyric from the song "Masters of War".  He is not necessarily saying its a "good" or "bad" lyric, he describes it as: "vengeful, resolute, and timeless" the reader must decide about its quality or if it is the kind of work that deserves a Nobel Price.

Goshia [24]

These are a lot of question on one thread but I'm going to try and answer them all. Some of the I cannot explain so you're just going to have the answers.

 

1. Felipe never had any interest in playing basketball.

 

<span>2. happy + -ness</span>

<span>In this case, it's going to be <em>happiness </em>where you remove “y” and add “i”.</span>

 

<span>3. homophones.</span>

<span>Homophones are, for example: <em>ate, eight.</em></span>

 

<span>4. Too much cheese isn't good for your diet.</span>

 

<span>5. crisis</span>

All of the others are plural. I don't think crisis has any plural form.

 

<span>6. fameous</span>

<span>It's going to be <em>famous</em>.</span>

 

<span>7.  They don’t never have chocolate.</span>

The double negative is don't never which means: <em>do not never</em>

 

<span>8. Add -s.</span>

<span>You just have to add <em />s to make holiday plural. Like this: <span><em>holidays</em></span>.</span>

 

<span>9. singular</span>

 

10. Frenzy is a synonym for fury.

 

<span>11. Reign and rein are homophones.</span>

 

12. <span>Although we had tickets to the game.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>13. antonyms</span>

<em>Meager</em><span><em> </em>and <em>ample </em>are two opposites.</span>

 

14. shop + -er

<span>This way: <em>shopp </em>+ <em>-er</em> = <em>shopper</em>.</span>

 

<span>15. dress’s</span>

 

<span>16. alliteration</span>

<span>In this sentence, they’re using the alphabet <em>t</em> repeatedly. “Tripping and trembling they traipsed through the trees.</span>”

 

<span>17. synonyms</span>

<em>Remorse </em>and <em>regret </em>are same or almost similar words.

 

<span>18. Jason is scarcely well.</span>

 

<span>19. After the recent rainstorm, several neighbors decided to fix their leaking roofs.</span>

 

<span>20. The writers use the figurative language to capture the interest of their readers</span>.

 

<span>21. replace + -ing</span>

<span>Like this: <em>replac </em>+ <em />-<em>ing </em>= <em>replacing</em></span>

 

22. commit + -ment

<span>You don’t have to double the alphabet <em /><em>t </em>for the word <em>commitment</em>.</span>

 

<span>23. The figure of speech that gives objects and animals human characteristics is called simile.</span>

<span>Example: Sarah is as brave as a lion. In this case, <em>Sara </em>and <em>lion </em>are predicate nouns.</span>
