Read the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice” by Julia Alvarez. My father and mother were once again trapped in a police state.

They laid low as best they could. Now that they had four young daughters, they could not take any chances. For a while, that spark which has almost cost my father his life and which he had lighted in my mother seemed to have burnt out. Periodically, Trujillo would demand a tribute, and they would acquiesce. A tax, a dummy vote, a portrait on the wall. To my father and other men in the country, the most humiliating of these tributes was the occasional parade in which women were made to march and turn their heads and acknowledge the great man as they passed the review stand. What is the central idea in this paragraph? Having four young daughters made the family more of a target because of Trujillo’s mandatory tributes. Trujillo required people to take part in tributes and parades, which were enforced by the police state. The author’s parents fought against the dictatorship, even though they participated in the tributes. The author’s parents tried to get by in the dictatorship, but felt humiliated by the tributes they were forced to participate in.

The central idea of the paragraph in this exceprt the author adopts is that her parents barely dealt with the circumstances of living under a dictatorship despite the humiliating tributes done by Trujillo they unwillingly made part of, so the best idea is the last option "<em>The author’s parents tried to get by in the dictatorship, but felt humiliated by the tributes they were forced to participate in."</em> As expressed in the passage, the author's parents tried to keep a low profile to avoid detection from police, but having a handful of daughters made it difficult, and they could not take any risks but to accede to stand the dictatorship.

Explain how the organizational structure of “The Last Lecture” supports Pausch’s purpose for delivering the lecture.
Ede4ka [16]

<u>Answer:</u>

  • ‘The Last Lecture’, this book written by Randy Pausch will be read by generations to come.
  • It is a story of Randy Pausch himself who was a professor at an University in Pittsburgh.
  • In that university there’s a kind of tradition where professors of that University are told to give a lecture and assume it as if it is the Last lecture of their life. But for Randy, he didn’t even need to assume this, because it was certainly the Last lecture of his life because he was suffering from terminal cancer and he didn’t had much time left.
  • So in a way the organization purpose of Last lecture supported Pausch’s purpose for delivering the lecture, where he gave some of the best life adivces and words of wisdom from his life experience.

I NEED MY ANSWER I MARK BRANILISTS AN GIVE YOU A PUNCH
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

I'm not sure what this question is indicated but I will try my best to explain it the way I understand it.

Explanation:

Jack woke up extra early to make breakfast for this whole family. If Jack wore to wake up late the family would have already made breakfast so instead of making the breakfast he would have woken up to it already made.

Say if Jack hadn't woken up at all, the morning for this family would likely change dramatically.

So the fact that jack woke up, his family had something to eat without having to make it.

so without jack-> no food made.

Hope this helped:)
