What is the purpose of the data surge in the black box by Jennifer egan

English
1 answer:
Maslowich3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

People rarely look the way you expect them to, even when you’ve seen pictures.

The first thirty seconds in a person’s presence are the most important.

If you’re having trouble perceiving and projecting, focus on projecting.

Necessary ingredients for a successful projection: giggles; bare legs; shyness.

The goal is to be both irresistible and invisible.

When you succeed, a certain sharpness will go out of his eyes.

2

Some powerful men actually call their beauties “Beauty.”

Counter to reputation, there is a deep camaraderie among beauties.

If your Designated Mate is widely feared, the beauties at the house party where you’ve gone undercover to meet him will be especially kind.

Kindness feels good, even when it’s based on a false notion of your identity and purpose.

3

Posing as a beauty means not reading what you would like to read on a rocky shore in the South of France.

Sunlight on bare skin can be as nourishing as food.

Even a powerful man will be briefly self-conscious when he first disrobes to his bathing suit.

It is technically impossible for a man to look better in a Speedo than in swim trunks.

If you love someone with dark skin, white skin looks drained of something vital.

4

When you know that a person is violent and ruthless, you will see violent ruthlessness in such basic things as his swim stroke.

“What are you doing?” from your Designated Mate amid choppy waves after he has followed you into the sea may or may not betray suspicion.

Your reply—“Swimming”—may or may not be perceived as sarcasm.

“Shall we swim together toward those rocks?” may or may not be a question.

“All that way?” will, if spoken correctly, sound ingenuous.

“We’ll have privacy there” may sound unexpectedly ominous.

5

A hundred feet of blue-black Mediterranean will allow you ample time to deliver a strong self-lecture.

At such moments, it may be useful to explicitly recall your training:

“You will be infiltrating the lives of criminals.

“You will be in constant danger.

“Some of you will not survive, but those who do will be heroes.

“A few of you will save lives and even change the course of history.

“We ask of you an impossible combination of traits: ironclad scruples and a willingness to violate them;

“An abiding love for your country and a willingness to consort with individuals who are working actively to destroy it;

“The instincts and intuition of experts, and the blank records and true freshness of ingénues.

“You will each perform this service only once, after which you will return to your lives.

“We cannot promise that your lives will be exactly the same when you go back to them.”

Dialogue is important in a story for two reasons. Which of the following is one of the reasons?
ycow [4]

Answer:

It reveals character personality details.

Explanation:

Dialogue is a feature of a literary text that involves a conversation between two or more characters. It can also be termed as an exchange of words between two or more people.

Dialogue is an integral part of a story because it helps readers to get to know the character(s). The dialogues spoken or used by people are a means to give them personality and are a much better character development instead of the narrator or speaker describing them.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Which do you regard as Crevecoeur's most compelling observation in the first paragraph? Why?
puteri [66]

Answer:

The most convincing consideration made by the author is that in America there was freedom, since no individual was responsible for maintaining aristocrats and nobles. Each person was only responsible for himself and worked to enrich himself, something that the English could not do.

Explanation:

Letters from an American Farmer is a series of texts written by J. Hector St. John de Crèvecœur. The texts are written in a letter format where the author reasons about the exploitation of america, american identity, the advantages that america has and even slavery.

The third letter is entitled "what is an American?" where the author replies that to be an American is to have freedom and autonomy. He reinforces this argument by informing that in Europe, people do not have freedom and autonomy, because they are trapped by an aristocracy that they need to maintain. In that case, workers do not work to enrich themselves, but rather their princes. This does not exist in America, where each individual is not responsible for any noble person, but for himself and works for his own success.
