Norrator point of view about the life of an adult her culture in the "excerpt from minuk :ashes in the path way​

Explanation:

Hill's (The Year of Miss Agnes ) finely detailed novel set in a Yup'ik Eskimo village in the 1890s feels mesmerizingly authentic.

Minuk, the narrator, is 12 the spring that the missionary family arrives, and like the other children she is fascinated by the sight of her first kass'aq (white) woman and child. She can't imagine what the "sort of pink butterfly" hanging from the clothesline is (a corset, which astonishes her still further), and when Mrs. Hoff invites her inside for a cup of tea, she sits on a chair for the first time (and tips hers over) and slurps loudly, "to be polite." These initial misunderstandings may be comic, but the encounters between the Hoffs and the Yup'ik have grave consequences. Mr. and Mrs. Hoff condemn the villagers' rituals and practices. Yet, as seen through Minuk's eyes, the customs make sense, and Hill demonstrates that the Yup'ik belief systems are at least as coherent as Hoffs' version of Christianity ("If your god is love," Minuk asks Mr. Hoff, "why does he make people burn in hell?"). The author penetrates Yup'ik culture to such an extent that readers are likely to find the Hoffs more foreign than Minuk and her family. At the same time, the author doesn't glamorize the villagers, in particular exposing the severe conditions facing women. Not only the heroine but the vanished society here feel alive in their complexities. Ages 9-12. (Oct.)

nasty-shy [4]

i dont know much but ill try

The main issue with the use of technology is that minors in grade school will be obsessed with texting and face-timing that they rarely focus on actual work and their future careers. They wouldn't even sleep cause their up all night on their technological device!

I would address that problem by making sure the device is shut off at bed time and limit it to 45 mins a day.
