Why does Melinda like Cubist drawings in Speak?

English
1 answer:
nata0808 [166]3 years ago

Answer:In the beginning of the year, Melinda has a difficult time working with the tree. She begins by using watercolors to present the tree as a depiction of herself-- wounded. "I try to paint them so they are nearly dead, but not totally," (30-1). Her trees are alone and surrounded by darkness, which represents the way Melinda feels about herself during this time.

Explanation:In the novel Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, Melinda is given the task of working with a tree as her object for the year in Mr. Freeman's art class. This is not coincidental, as the tree symbolizes Melinda's growth throughout the novel.

While returning from school u saw a ten year old begging near the traffic signal.you were moved by the scene describe the child
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Here's my best take; from an authors perspective.

Explanation:

"Finally freakin outta class, gosh Sally was looking good today"  - I say as im starting my engine.

Finally out of class!  Time to go home and play some mothafreaking halo. I was cruising down the street, couldn't get Sally's phattt as..; I mean new earrings out of my head.  

"Stoplight up ahead" I think to myself, barely even aware of what I am doing, too busy thinking about Sally's phatttt as..

I stop at the stoplight, its a red. I look to my left, and see a child standing at the base of the traffic pole.  He was barely dressed; a new t-shirt  with destroyed pants, shoes, and a missing sock.  He looked like he hadn't showered in days; in fact, he looks no older than ten years old.  

"I did just get paid, I guess I could spare some change." I think to myself.

Feeling generous, hoping Sally is watching somehow. I pull a couple one dollar bills out of my wallet.  I hold it out the window, and beckon the boy over.  He has to cross a lane of traffic to get me, but all the cars are stopped.  

He reaches his hand out to grab the money, he was just a hair away, eyes gleaming with the thoughts of candy and whatever else this ten year old was going to waste my money on. But, just before he could grab the money; this young black man, with dreads and tattoos runs up.  He snatches the money out of my hand.  It looked like he had a cell phone in his other, he was recording himself.  I watch him start to make some distance before I wildly hear him scream

"BOOOOOOONK GANG'

'BOOOONK GANG'

'WHOLE LOTTA GANG POOP,,, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN"

And with a 'BOOOOOOOOONKKKKKKKKKK GANGG" he faded into the sun, money and phone in hand.

In what ways does the odyssey embody the qualities and ideals of ancient greek culture?
ziro4ka [17]
Is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is one of the oldest extant works of literature still read by contemporary audiences. As with the Iliad, the poem is divided into 24 books. It follows the Greek hero Odysseus, king of Ithaca, and his journey home after the Trojan War. After the war itself, which lasted ten years, his journey lasts for ten additional years, during which time he encounters many perils and all his crewmates are killed. In his absence, Odysseus is assumed dead, and his wife Penelope and son Telemachus must contend with a group of unruly suitors who compete for Penelope's hand in marriage.
