Why is quindlen reluctant to define anything remotely resembling a national character

English

Answer: She was reluctant to define anything remotely resembling a national character because " it was a mongrel nation." There were so many different ethnic groups that had merged into one. This made it difficult and sometimes pointless to make just one group "entirely American."

In the text, Quindlen refuses to define anything remotely resembling a national character in America. This is because she believes America cannot be defined in these terms. America is a country that was born out of a combination of people from many different nations and cultures. It is a "mongrel" of a nation. And every person is an equal part of this. Therefore, there is no unified, standard definition of what it means to be American.

What is the only reasonable and ethical way to achieve zero population growth? A increase the birth rate B decrease the brith ra
GarryVolchara [31]

To start off, you want to get zero population growth. That means you can eliminate A and D automatically since it's the opposite effect of what you want.


That leaves B and C. Both are good idea if I may say but, they are unreasonable and unethical. (Not as much as A and D) Although, it is only just a question.


After a good time of thinking this through I would pick letter C. Let me explain though.


It is very easy to increase the death rate. There are so many ways to achieve zero population growth by doing so. 


Now, obviously this means you would have to (for a nicer term) put down people. Those I will not list but, you can surely image them if you'd wish.


The reason I took B out of the equation is because, I feel as though it would take too long. That's the only reason.


Like I said I would pick C. I hope this helps!!

ALLUSION AND SUSPENSE

The title of the story is allusion because it refers to the "magi" who were the wise men in the Bible. The writer creates suspense when Jim sees Della's hair is gone and has an undreadable expression on his face that terrifies Della.
