Read this excerpt from chapter 2 of The Scarlet Letter using comprehension strategies. “Goodwives,” said a hard-featured dame of

fifty, “I’ll tell ye a piece of my mind. It would be greatly for the public behoof, if we women, being of mature age and church-members in good repute, should have the handling of such malefactresses as this Hester Prynne. What think ye, gossips? If the hussy stood up for judgment before us five, that are now here in a knot together, would she come off with such a sentence as the worshipful magistrates have awarded?” What is the meaning of this excerpt?

Answer: The speaker believes that she and her peers ought to be in charge of assigning sentences in cases like Hester's.

The speaker is a woman who considers herself pious and moral. She is discussing the case of Hester Prynne with other similar women. The speaker states that the punishment Hester received (wearing the scarlet letter) is much too lenient. She believes that she and her peers should be in charge of cases like her, because they would be able to punish the criminals in the right way.

The meaning of this excerpt is that these women, 'goodwives', didn't agree with the decision that the 'worshipful magistrates' had awarded Hester Prynne, who ran away from her husband and then got impregnated by another man. They think of her as a promiscuous woman, who doesn't deserve the light sentence she was given, but if she were in front of those women to judge her, she would have gotten a completely different sentence. A much harsher one.

Answer ASAP pleaseeee<br><br> How do cultures practices enrich their culture????
Mariana [72]
It teaches more about culture in general. You would get "used" to your culture. Let's say your Muslim and you don't pray often, once you do you'll be used to it and pass it on to your children and enrich your culture. Culture could mean anything from clothes to decor. Passing it down to future generations would enrich it. Hope this helps (;❤️

I need help on making a paragraph on culture but talking about Tradition and Rituals or Food. Anything will help!!!!
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our cultures. It becomes a part of who each of us are. Many of us associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress. When I was sick as a kid, I couldn’t eat rice because I was too weak, so my mother would cook soup and bring it to bed for me. The smell and taste of the soup became something very familiar to me. Now, whenever I feel tired or stressed, I remember the soup my mom used to make for me and I feel hungry for that soup.

On a larger scale, food is an important part of culture. Traditional cuisine is passed down from one generation to the next. It also operates as an expression of cultural identity. Immigrants bring the food of their countries with them wherever they go and cooking traditional food is a way of preserving their culture when they move to new places.

Continuing to make food from their culture for family meals is a symbol of pride for their ethnicity and a means of coping with homesickness. Many open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. For example, some ingredients needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from the taste and flavor of the dishes that they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, when immigrants sell food in another country, they do not only sell it to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to alter the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers with distinct tastes and flavor preferences. Alterations to original dishes can create new flavors that still retain the cultural significance of the dish.
