How does Huck Finn symbolize America
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Few books in U.S. history have been as influential--or as controversial--as "Huckleberry Finn," which traces the rafting voyage of a white boy and the black, runaway slave he befriends. Few novels have been as widely debated or as frequently banned. The book got some new, and this time welcome, attention this week, thanks to a PBS series by documentary filmmaker Ken Burns that looked at the life of Mark Twain. "Huckleberry Finn" not only has survived the efforts to bury it, it has thrived and it has grown as a teaching tool. Innovative high school teachers now use it to talk to students about the imperfect America that forged Twain. They draw the connections between that America and the nation's lingering problems of racism.

Tomorrow, the mayor will announce her plans "for the new committee." what type of phrase is this?
natali 33 [55]
The phrase "for the new committee" is a phrase that starts with a conjunction. It is also known as a subordinate clause. The combination of words "for the new committee" does not make up a complete sentence; it cannot stand on its own. The word "for" is a coordinating conjunction and joins two equal phrases to each other. A coordinating conjunction is also known as a coordinator. It shows that both parts or phrases that make up the sentence are of equal importance.

Correct the grammar errors please :
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

1. You need to separate these two sentences - <em>Mr. Chakota started</em>... and <em>They were joined</em>... - these are two sentences so there needs to be a period between them.

<em>... and former oDesk colleague Josh Brianlinger. They were joined by...</em>

2. <em>"They're going to get their books from there.</em>" - the words <em>they're</em>, <em>their</em>, and <em>there</em> sound the same but mean different things. <em>They're </em>is short for <em>they are, their </em>means that something belongs to <em>them, </em>and <em>there </em>shows us where something is.

3. <em>Your files are graded on accuracy and formatting AND you're going to need to follow Rev style guidelines.</em> - these are two sentences so you either should add the conjunction AND or separate these two sentences completely by using a period between them.

4. <em>It's important that quality is consistent. </em>- here, you need to use <em>it's </em>(short for <em>it is</em>) instead of <em>its </em>(meaning, belonging to <em>it</em>).

5. <em>Use foreign language tags for foreign language speech... </em>- this sentence doesn't make much sense so you might want to rephrase it completely

6. <em>Please, no iPads, iPhones, </em><em>or </em><em>Android tablets. </em>- here, you need to use <em>or </em>instead of <em>nor</em> because English doesn't support double negatives.
