Write a claim paragraph and a counterclaim paragraph using evidence from "My Mother Pieced Quilts" and "Everyday Use" to answer

the following prompt: Does culture impact the way one views the world?
English

GREYUIT [131]3 years ago

Culture shapes the way we view the world; it teaches us life lessons, how to see the world, and how we should treat each other. It is the foundation on which we build our morals, beliefs, and lifestyle. In "My Mother Pieced Quilts", the author's mother taught her the importance of her hardwork and the significance in her quilts.

On the other hand, culture may not have great of an impact when knowledge is involved. In "Everyday Use" Mama's culture is threatened by Dee's newfound education, which ultimately Mama saw as a sense of arrogance. Knowledge seems to deny and discredit culture. Instead of being proud of Dee for having the opportunities for a better life, she began resenting her instead. To quote Mama, "She used to read to us without pity; forcing words, lies, other folks’ habits, whole lives upon us two, sitting trapped and ignorant underneath her voice. She washed us in a river of make-believe, burned us with a lot of knowledge we didn’t necessarily need to know."

Describing what happened when you got lost in a forest
BigorU [14]

Explanation:

it was a fun day going hiking with my family. We decided to have an experience by traveling through the woods. In other words it could be described as a huge forest. We entered the forest and went further deep in to it admiring every single view of it... After some time,the forest started getting misty...until fog happened to cover the whole area. I was told to stay calm but the fear of being unable to see anyone made me nervous anx stiff. I was scared and started calling my parents to come near me. But their voices were not to be heard.!They were not anywhere near me. I yelled hopelessly. It felt like my head was going to burst with all the worries and stress. Who's going to save me now? Would I ever be lucky enough to meet my family? Such thoughts started striking in my head .... I could hear animals making wierd noises....But what if I was going to be one of their <u>preys</u><u>.</u><u>?</u><u>.</u><u>.</u><u>(</u>check the spelling).

<u> </u>I started sweating...sweat rolled over my body, the breeze was warning in my ears.

I could slightly see tall trees sorrounding me... the fog had stared to dissapear....I was still alone... my phone showed no signals....

To my mere luck I heard someone calling my name from faraway.. .. I ran towards that direction.... and their was my mother . I ran as fast as the wind towards her and into her arms..... this was an experience thet i might never forget...etc

u can also put it as a dream and end it up with u waking up from tge dream

When was the first edition of the novel Frankenstein published?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

The first edition of "Frankenstein" was published on 1st January, 1818.

Explanation:

Mary Shelly's famous gothic novel "Frankenstein" or  "The Modern Prometheus" was first published on January 1, 1818 without an author. this anonymous publication was due to the fact that women writers were not openly accepted in those times.

This novel tells the story of a young scientist, Victor Frankenstein's creation of a monstrous being in a rather unethical manner. Though he may be unusual, he wasn't a monster initially. When he was rejected by his own creator, Victor, he started becoming more like a monster. He despised himself and hated everyone who rejected him, also people began to be repulsed by his appearance too.

Narrated from Victor's point of view, the story moved from when the created being became the master who had control over the other humans.  He was responsible for the death of William, Victor's younger brother and also that of a young girl named Justine who had been accused of being William's killer. The monster approached Victor during his vacation in the mountains, admitting his actions of killing William. But he also said he has reasons and asked him to create a female for him so that he will not be alone. Everyone got their partners to be with but he is a lonely monster, shunned by everyone and with no companion, even rejected by his own creator.

Victor was eventually convinced and he started working on the new creation. But, afraid of what the monster might really do if he has a companion, Victor destroys the unfinished project. Angered by this, the monster vowed to make Victor's life hell, promising to hurt him on his wedding night. Victor was then arrested and accused for the death of his friend Henry, which of course, was the work of the monster. Some years later, he married Elizabeth. Remembering the monster's promise, he decided to send his new wife to another room, thinking the monster will come for him. But, it was his wife who would be killed instead. So, Victor vowed to hunt the monster down and made it his life mission.
