Read the following excerpt and answer the question that follows. Abridged from Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe My father, a wis

e and grave man, gave me serious and excellent counsel against what he foresaw was my design. He called me one morning into his chamber, where he was confined by the gout, and expostulated very warmly with me upon this subject. He asked me what reasons, more than a mere wandering inclination, I had for leaving father's house and my native country, where I might be well introduced, and had a prospect of raising my fortune by application and industry, with a life of ease and pleasure. He told me it was men of desperate fortunes on one hand, or of aspiring, superior fortunes on the other, who went abroad upon adventures, to rise by enterprise, and make themselves famous in undertakings of a nature out of the common road; that these things were all either too far above me or too far below me; that mine was the middle state, or what might be called the upper station of low life, which he had found, by long experience, was the best state in the world, the most suited to human happiness, not exposed to the miseries and hardships, the labour and sufferings of the mechanic part of mankind, and not embarrassed with the pride, luxury, ambition, and envy of the upper part of mankind. What does the historical context of the writing demonstrate or tell you? Even in that time, there was a lower, middle, and upper class of society. Unlike today, people in that time were all of the same class in society. There were no middle class citizens in that time; only very rich and very poor. Ideas of class separation did not become common until after that period in time.

HELP ME PLZZ I NEED HELP
Alja [10]

Answer:

A is the answer.

Explanation:

In Latin, the phrase means "in the midst of things", so it is in the middle of something, usually a story.

It's the practice of beginning an epic or other narrative by plunging into a crucial situation that is part of a related chain of events; the situation is an extension of previous events and will be developed in later action.

PLEASE HURRY I WILL GIVE BRAINLIST AND 200 POINTS
Annette [7]

Answer and Explanation:

Feel free to change anything to make this fit your personality and opinions.

Dear…,

How have you and your family been? I hope everyone has been doing well and staying healthy!

I finally have some free time and some extra money, so I think I will be able to visit you soon. I worked part time for a while and was able to save up a little. I was an apprentice caretaker at a nursing home here in town. It was a wonderful experience, and I must say I will never forget it.

I had to help the caretakers in their daily routine with the seniors. We would do everything, even help them eat and bathe, if it was necessary. We’d bring them their food and medication to make sure they never skipped them. We would also come up with games and activities to keep them active and motivated, you know? There was this one afternoon when we played some instruments and even danced! You should have seen their smiling faces!

I feel changed after this job. It opened my eyes to the difficulties of growing old. Our bodies sometimes seem to give up, even though our minds may stay alert and willing to do much more. Seniors deserve much more attention and respect than what they usually get. I hope I can teach my children that in the future, when I have my own family.

Write to me soon!
