Someone who is eccentric means they have unusual or odd behavior, this then relates to the origin of the word which is egocentric meaning self centered. This then also goes on to relate to "center" because a person is "self centered" or egocentric.


High egocentrism = eccentric = self CENTERED

Elanso [62]
The only thing the employer says is that the company's best resource is the employees. His statement has nothing to do with the EPA, nor has it anything to do with any environmental concern.

That eliminates d and a. His concern is not laziness. He wouldn't be praising his workers if he was. So B is now gone as well.

The only thing left is C. This is an inference question, so the right answer can be inferred. He's concerned about the well being of his employees.

C <<<< answer.

PLEASE HELP OFFERING 90 POINTS 1. Select one of the stories or poems in this unit and identify the author's purpose for writing.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

president cleaveland where are you #1

Explanation:  the authors purpose of writing this short story is to show that family is important. An example of showing this is that jerry didn’t want to put any money in for his dads birthday gift he wanted to get Ken Maynard cards, but then after when they stopped selling the card jerry felt guilty for not putting money in for his father.The theme is centered around choices that Jerry makes during the Great Depression. The story shows that you don't have to have a lot of money to be able to afford something that you want. If you are creative you can achieve whatever you set your mind to. The difference between the authors purpose and the theme is that the authors purpose is saying kinda of why he might have wrote this short story and the theme is basically saying that you could put your mind to anything if you just try. The theme and the authors purpose are somewhat the same.

PURPOSE The symbol is the white umbrella, and it represents what the narrator wants to be, perfect, pure, etc. and that would mean that when she throws it away she is satisfied with the way she is now.

THEME In the beginning of the story, the white umbrella represents dignity and fitting in with Eugenie Roberts, but at the end, the significance of the umbrella changes to the narrator's rejection to her mother. The white umbrella represents dignity and fitting in with Eugenie Roberts in the beginning of the story.
