How do those lines apply to your life? This isn't a question that has one correct answer, but it could be figured that you eat bread right? If you're trying to be philosophical about it, you could talk about how the thunder accompanies the rain and plants are fed by rain, you are fed by plants therefore you shouldn't fear the thunder. This question is entirely up for interpretation.

Answer:

The quote means that everything serves a purpose and that you shouldn't be afraid.

Explanation:

This quote is taken from "A Day in the Country" by Anton Chekhov. The little orphan is scared of the oncoming storm. While trying to comfort her, the other character says this line. He explains that the rain is as necessary for the tress as bread (or any other food) is for us. He continues to explain that while the thunder and lightening may be scary that they will not do any harm to the orphan. Once the storm has passed, everything will go back to the way it was before.

Answer:

Nanny Crawford is specking these words to her granddaughter Janie mae Crawford.

The daughter referred to in the speech is Leafy Crawford, Janie's mother and Nanny's daughter.

Explanation:

The excerpt is from Zora Neale Hurston's novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God". This book revolves round the theme of the discriminatory lives of the blacks among the white folks.

The passage is from the second chapter of the book where Janie's grandmother had told her about her choice of husband for her granddaughter. She told her of her slavery birth, her upbringing n the plantations and how it was tough for a girl to be a slave. And that is why she had wanted her to marry Logan Killicks who may be a much older guy but have the means to provide security and social standing for Janie.

Nanny or Grandma Crawford is talking to Janie about the prospect of marrying Killicks.

"Mah daughter" in the speech refers to Nanny's daughter Leafy Crawford, Janie's mother.

Please help. Read the passage and choose the answer to the question about purpose or tone.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

D, Informative

Explanation:

The passage above is not humorous, as it is not written to be a comediacal passage. It is also not self-pitying, because the author isn't moping about what they don't have. Lastly, it isn't a forgiving tone, as the author was not directly involved in the story being told, and so they had no one to forgive for anything.
