7 0

Maggie is a more traditional person than Dee. While Dee is away at school Maggie is the one at home. The guilt represents the African American experience because it is a piece of uniform that their Grandfather used to wear during the Civil War. Dee wants to take the quilt for public display, but the narrator prefers to give it to Maggie, who will wear it as a symbol of taking on the traditions that come with it and to take on the heritage.

OLga [1]

For the introductory paragraph, you should start by introducing broad ideas about the subject at hand. In this particular case, it would be a good idea to provide some background information about Sonia Nazario and maybe a little bit of information about his biographies and editorials. Nothing in your introductory paragraph should compare or contrast the two at all...you should save this for your body paragraphs. Make sure your thesis statement is the very last sentence of your introductory paragraph...this is the most important thing when it comes to most English teachers.

Drag the tiles to the boxes to form correct pairs. Not all tiles will be used.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

√You would not walk away while someone was talking without saying anything → to explain how one can strengthen personal relationships.

√This habit is hurting relationships and shortening attention spans → to explain why attention to one's phone can hurt relationships.

√Without eye contact, it is nearly impossible to be fully engaged in the conversation → to provide a solution to the problem of preoccupation with cell phones.

Explanation:

I have been able to match the purpose of each statement from the text to the text statement itself.

The text statement in the 1st tile actually explains how one can strengthen personal relationships. The habit of walking away from people will strain relationships. The text statement in the 2nd tile explains that if one is obsessed with his phone without giving attention to people, it can actually hurt relationships. The text statement in the 3rd title actually provides a solution to the problem of preoccupation with cell phones which says that eye contact is necessary and without it, one cannot fully engage in a conversation.
