English
1 answer:

4 0

Answer:

James Thurber uses many made-up words in "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," but only two or three seem to qualify as examples of onomatopoeia, which is the creation of words that imitate natural sounds.

Explanation:

The pocketa-pocketa-pocketa sound increases because Mitty is unconsciously pressing harder on the accelerator.

Can you elaborate on the reason Tahereh Saffarzadeh's authorial point of view would be different?
viktelen [127]

A. <em>Tahereh Saffarzadeh's authorial point of view would be different if she had been born in the United States.</em> Being born in Israel and having lived in Iran for years before leaving to England and then to the United States, her vision about Persian culture and Islamic religion is no doubt different from that of a U.S. born citizen. Those societal aspects must be ingrained within her education and formation, making her point of view of the subject more personal and perhaps less conflicted than it would be if her was born in the U.S. (the relations between both cultures being so conflicted for sure have an influence on the citizens of both places and cultures).
