Answer:

Suspiros, Merengues, the stale candy of everyone’s childhood.

Explanation:

An allusion is the referencing of something without actually explicitly mentioning it. It acts as a means to bring something into the mind without directly mentioning it in detail. It could be used as a means to refer to something that the writer/author wants to bring into mind but not direct referencing.

Judith Cofer Ortiz's "The Latin Deli: An Ars Poetica" is an observation that uses vivid imagery and detailed description. It focuses on the issue of an immigrant displacement and the identity crisis, being uprooted from the 'old lie' into the new world of America. An example of an allusion is found in the mention of <em>"Suspiros, Merengues, the stale candy of everyone's childhood"</em> which is a reference to the childhood of the author or anyone displaced, for that matter. It brings back memories of their childhood.  

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

When doing a close reading, what is involved in the process of annotating a text?
pickupchik [31]
When doing something like this, some find it useful to annotate the text by putting in notes and explanations of what is being said.
(Like pastors at a church when giving the message, or a comedian needing to remember some little things)
It basically just helps the reader not forget side notes or little things that can make the others either more entertained or more helpful.

In "The Interlopers" how does the word "wolves" fulfill a purpose in the narrative arc?
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

With the appearance of the wolves at the end of the story, the author left an open ending but suggests the end of the conflict between the two men, too. They wanted to kill each other and the wish becoming reality in a twisted way because the wolfs will kill them, as the author concludes with the happiness of Ulrich because of his hate to Georg and desire to saw him dead, even if the wolves murder him too.
