Read the excerpt from part 4 of Zeitoun. He and Kathy worried about the reach of the Department of Homeland Security, its willin

gness to contact anyone born in or with a connection to the Middle East. So many of their Muslim friends had been interviewed, forced to send in documents and hire lawyers. But until now Zeitoun had been fortunate. He had had no experience with profiling, hadn’t been suspected of anything by anyone with real authority. There were the occasional looks askance, of course, sneers from people upon hearing his accent. Maybe, he thought, this was just one soldier, ignorant or cruel, wanting to stir things up. Why does the author include these details?

Answer:

to acknowledge the reality of racial profiling and scrutiny.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

  • to illustrate Zeitoun’s strong allegiance to the Middle East.
  • to explain the need for the Department of Homeland Security.
  • to acknowledge the reality of racial profiling and scrutiny.
  • to suggest Zeitoun’s involvement in suspicious activity.

In this excerpt, the author describes how Zeitoun needed to think about the reality of racial profiling in his daily life. We learn that he has not encountered this much throughout his life, but that he knows others who have, and that this situation is always on his mind anyway. This allows us to empathize with the problems that Muslim-Americans encounter on a day-to-day basis.

Read this excerpt from The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe.
balu736 [363]

Answer: A

Explanation:

Defoe:   he spoke out against people who "barter baubles for the souls of men" and yet he invested heavily in the slave trade and maintained that it was "the most useful and most profitable trade . . . of any part of the general commerce of the nation."

Even though Defoe felt this way personally, I think that it is portrayed in the story that RC did not have to have people around him to be successful.  He not only was able to train people in how to care for the island and to survive, life seems to come and to to him.  He had the desire to keep on moving towards success.  I believe that him "owning" another person was not what  he wanted, but that he desired a friend.  He knew he could be successful with Friday.

How does the author use characters to make a statement about the value of human life in the world of F451? What does the author
Liula [17]

Incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the story, "Fahrenheit" 451 by  Ray Bradbury.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For example, in the novel, the character Clarisse is portrayed as someone who appreciates nature, so much so that she finds time always to observe creation even though most people in her community are preoccupied with work and entertainment that they lack the time to do so.

Another character is Mildred, the wife of Montag, she is portrayed as someone who has a love for entertainment that is so strong to the extent it overshadows that of her husband. Her behavior contrast with that of Clarisse who has a healthy view of entertainment.

What the author, Montag is saying through his characters is that

  • those in his society do not value human life, recall we were told the police don't punish those who over speed, thus accidents occur often.
  • those in his society are less concerned about their families; which was made evident in the case of Mildred.
