Answer: someone who is from the West and whose parents are from the West.

Based on context, the phrase that you want to explain is "second-generation Okie." An Okie is a native of the state of Oklahoma. The term has occasionally been used in a derogatory way, in particular during the 1920s and 1930s. It was used to describe poor farmers from the West that had to move due to the problems of the "Dust Bowl." The fact that this person, moreover, is a "second-generation Okie" means that the person's parents were also originally from the West.

The authorial voice is best defined as __________.
lys-0071 [83]
<span>In this question, the authorial voice is best described as the voice used by the voice used by authors when seeming to speak for themselves. The historical author is the one writing the text and his or her opinions may or may not be in the text itself; the "author," meanwhile, is the one who the reader perceives to be behind the narration. The fictional narrator is separate from the author and often has a different personality or point of view altogether. </span>

Which of these is NOT a meaning of the root super or sur?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

the last choice, only/alone

Explanation:

all the other choices make sense as the root word sur means, "over," "above," and "in addition to." and the choices "greater than," and "beyond" make sense as well because the root word super means those two things as well as a few of the words that have to do with the root word sur. the only choice that doesn't fit in is the last one.

Dentify a theme in "through the tunnel" and explain how the setting of the story contributes to that theme
earnstyle [38]
<span>In "Through the Tunnel," the negative connotations and dangerous imagery associated with the "wild bay" help to convey the theme that growing up can be a painful and scary process.  Jerry longs to grow up and to fit in with the "older boys -- men to Jerry" who swim and dive at the wild bay rather than remain on the "safe beach" with his mother, a beach later described as "a place for children."  The way to the wild bay is marked with "rough, sharp rock" and the water shows "stains of purple and darker blue."  The rocks sound as if they could do a great deal of damage to the body, and the stains are described like a bruise.  It sounds painful.  Then, "rocks lay like discoloured monsters under the surface" of the water and "irregular cold currents from the deep shocked [Jerry's] limbs."  This place sounds frightening and alarming and unpredictable.  Given that this is the location associated with maturity, with the time after childhood, we can understand that the process of growing up and becoming a man is a time that is fraught with dangers and fear, because Jerry endures both in the "wild bay."</span>
