Answer: B (point of view)
Explanation:
Let's go through all the answer options.
A) time of day
The time of day isn't exactly the most important detail, since the story usually takes place over different days, months, or years. The exact time isn't the key point in the story.
B) point of view
This is a pretty important topic, since it influences "how the story is told", which is part of the question.
C) first name of character
While this is nice info to have, it does not affect the way a story is told. It is just a minor convenient detail.
D) camera angle
This one doesn't apply at all since it's a book, not a movie. There are no cameras involved.
Therefore, the best answer is B!
Hope this helps! :)
Answer and Explanation:
Parallel structure in sentences is when the list of items is organized and written in the same way. For example, if a sentence was written “I like to play basketball, play soccer, and play volleyball”, this is in parallel structure because each item is of the form “play ______”.
Here, this is parallel structure because each item is by itself, without being preceded by a verb, except for the very first one, which is allowed because that verb “buy” will apply to every item following.
That’s why this is parallel structure.
Answer: Dealing With Siblings
By: Me, duh.
Explanation:
Year 2009 (April), on a late Wednesday night, my brothers and I awoke to the noise of rattling outside our windows. At first, we all ignored the rattling and turned over in our beds and went back to sleep. But then, the rattling got louder and sharper. After hearing it again we all decided to get up and check out what it was. As my 3 older brothers and I walked outside in our pyjamas to see what was going on outside, we noticed that there was a strange smell coming from our backyard. So, as we all went into the backyard to see what this continous situation would bring us next, there it was... four big raccoons inside our trash cans. We looked at them and they looked at us, and we looked at them again and they looked at us again. Suddenly, each of the raccoons scurried away with pieces of garbage in their mouths. As soon as we all realized what had happened, my second eldest brother, Liam, ran towards the direction that the raccoons had scurried. Without hesitation, my 3rd eldest brother, Greg, looked down at me and said, "this is all your fault" in an angry voice. I looked up at Greg with a confused look on my face and replied, "what?! what did I do?", "You! What did you do!? YOU were the one that dad told to tie the trash cans up last night." "No, no, no. Dad told YOU to tie them up last night. But maybe it's just your memory loss getting to you again." Greg and I continued to argue like this until my first eldest brother, Matt, broke us up saying "Hey! It wasn't either of you guys's faults. Maybe it was Dads." Greg looked at me confused and I looked at Greg surpirsed and be both replied with, "NO", and then went back to arguing. Greg, Matt, and I started arguing with eachother before my 3rd eldest brother, Liam, came back into the backyard with an relaxed look on his face and said, "uh. am i inturuppting something?". Matt looked at Liam and said "Nope, just arguing about why the trash cans are not tied up. You know who it was?". "Oh! Yeah, that was me!" Liam replied. Automatically, Matt, Gregg, and I all turned our heads to Liam and said "what!?". "yeah, i was going to tie them up but I had too much work on my hands and was gonna come back to tie them up later." After understanding what just happened, Matt walked over to Liam and said "Okay. Its fine. At least they didnt get into the house!". Matt, Gregg, Liam, and I all chuckled and cleaned up the mess that the raccoons made in the backyard before going to bed. Nexxt time, we'll be prepared for those little bandits.
STORY MEANING: Raccoons mess with trash cans. Brothers argue about who was supposed to tie them up or not. Brothers turn on eachother before realizing that one of the other brothers had done it.
THEY MISUNDERSTOOD THE SITUATION
In 1943, the word ‘ghetto’ was used to describe restricted areas—walled o= areas— where Jews were forced to live in Nazi Germany. Today, Twitter users use the word ‘ghetto’ about 20 times per minute as a descriptive adjective, a fact which has made many cultural commentators speak out. As you read, take notes on how the word “ghetto” has evolved over time.
[1] The word "ghetto" is an etymological mystery. Is it from the Hebrew get, or bill of divorce? From the Venetian ghèto, or foundry? From the Yiddish gehektes, "enclosed"? From Latin Giudaicetum, for "Jewish"? From the Italian borghetto, "little town"? From the Old French guect, "guard"?
In his etymology column for the Oxford University Press, Anatoly Liberman took a look at each of these possibilities. He considered ever more improbable origins — Latin for "ribbon"? German for "street"? Latin for "to throw"? — before declaring the word a stubborn mystery.
"Warsaw Ghetto Uprising" by Unknown is in the public domain.
But whatever the root language, the word's original meaning was clear: "the quarter in a city, chieQy in Italy, to which the Jews were restricted," as the OED1 puts it. In the 16th and 17th centuries, cities like Venice, Frankfurt, Prague and Rome forcibly segregated their Jewish populations, often walling them oS and submitting them to onerous2 restrictions.
By the late 19th century, these ghettos had been steadily dismantled. But instead of vanishing from history, ghettos reappeared — with a purpose more ominous3 than segregation — under Nazi Germany. German forces established ghettos in over a thousand cities across Europe. They were isolated, strictly controlled and resource-deprived — but unlike the ghettos of history, they weren't meant to last.
[5] Reviving the Jewish ghetto made genocide a much simpler project. As the Holocaust proceeded, ghettos were emptied by the trainload. The prisoners of the enormous Warsaw ghetto which at one point held 400,000 Jews, famously fought their deportation to death camps. They were outnumbered and undersupplied, but some managed to die on their own terms; thousands of Jews were killed within the walls of the ghetto, rather than in the camps.
