Answer:

The sadness of death.

Explanation:

Sandra Cisneros' <em>The House on Mango Street</em> is a collection of short narrative stories about a young girl Esperanza. The book contains numerous short stories under different titles telling a story of specific parts of her life.

The vignette "Papa Who Wakes Up Tired Early in the Dark" tells the story of how his hardworking father had to go to their ancestral home for the death of her abuelito.  She saw her "poor papa" crying as if he had just heard the news all over again.

"Born Bad," tells the story of how Aunt Lupe lived her life in darkness, for she was blind. And when she died, Esperanza declares "And then we began to dream the dreams".

"Geraldo No Last Name" is a story about Geraldo who had died in an accident and Marin was the last to see him alive. She did not know his last name, nor does she know a lot about the dead guy for why does it matter? But the narrator states <em>"the ones he left behind are far away, will wonder, shrug. remember. Geraldo-he went north ... we never heard from him again". </em>

All three vignettes have a common theme of the sadness of the death of a person and how it affects others no matter what they may have thought of him/ her while he/ she was living.

Answer:

The sadness of death

Explanation:

The three vignettes show the sadness of death as a common theme. In "Papa Who Wakes Up Tired Early in the Dark" shows a little boy witnessing his father weeping over the death of his grandfather. The father's cry is one of sadness at the motto of a loved one. Similarly, "Born Bad" tells the story of a lady who was blind and never had the privilege of seeing the light. One day this lady dies, leaving everyone around her with a melancholy and sad feeling, with a feeling of failure.

Finally, "Geraldo No Last Name", which exposes the accident that killed a man named Geraldo. The man who saw Geraldo before he died did not know his surname, nor did he know his family and was left with a sad and melancholy feeling for the man without a name.

Which sentences in the passage are grammatically correct?
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

2. Gandhi was committed to nonviolence, and he was determined to win freedom for his country without violence or confrontation, if possible.

4. He called it nonviolent noncooperation, and it proved to be one of the keys to India's independence from Great Britain. Whenever there was trouble with British soldiers, Ganhdi urged the people of India not to fight, telling them instead to simply stand still.

Explanation:

These are the two sentences that are grammatically correct. In sentence 1, "Indias" is misspelled, as it should read "India's" considering that this is a possessive. Moreover, "A" does not need to be capitalized and "career" is also misspelled. In sentence 3, "Gandhi" needs to be capitalized and the correct expression is "over the years." Finally, sentence 5 misspells "twenty" and does not capitalize "king."

HELPPPPPPP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Read the following excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller.
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:              The answer is below.

Comparing:

Both of the themes from these excerpts are about how you can be able to learn despite differences in yourself from others.

Contrasting:

The theme of <em>The Story of My Life</em> by Helen Keller is that you are able to do anything you put your mind to, even if you are physically impaired in some way.

The main theme in the excerpt of <em>The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass</em>, is that you can learn how to do things even if you are of a different ethnic background.

In other words, the main character in the story are different in different ways (one is blind, the other was of a different ethnicity)
