Read the following excerpt from the introduction to “A Quilt of a Country.” Why does Quindlen offer this contradiction about the

“ideal” of America and its “reality”? How does she develop her central idea from this point?
America is an improbable idea. A mongrel nation built of ever-changing disparate parts, it is held together by a notion, the notion that all men are created equal, though everyone knows that most men consider themselves better than someone. . . . Out of many, one. That is the ideal. . . .The reality is often quite different, a great national striving consisting frequently of failure. Many of the oft-told stories of the most pluralistic nation on earth are stories not of tolerance, but of bigotry.

Excerpt from: The Adventures of Huckleberry FinnMark Twain1 You don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of
yaroslaw [1]

B) mainly

The word "mainly" shows that the story of Huck Finn is more fiction than fact. He repeats this word many times when he is talking about the story being one of truth. This intensifier introduces the idea of the story being a bit exaggerated and fictional. The other words add to the characterization of Huck. He uses ain't simply to mean isn't. When he says "that ain't no matter" he means that it is no big deal. Without is used to mean exactly that and is not meant as an opposite.

How are similes and metaphors different?
slava [35]

Answer:

While both similes and metaphors are used to make comparisons, the difference between similes and metaphors comes down to a word. Similes use the words like or as to compare things—“Life is like a box of chocolates.” In contrast, metaphors directly state a comparison—“Love is a battlefield.”
