The final stanza of "A Poem for Mrs. Long, My Librarian" indicates that books gave the speaker comfort and hope during her childhood. Just before this stanza, the reader states that her everyday life is fine, but in this stanza, she informs the reader that books still provided an escape to somewhere more magical than her own world. In the final line, the speaker discusses how her librarian, and the books she shared, were a source of "Spring"(hope) for her.

Make inferences and draw conclusions about the author's purpose in the novel A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Smith wrote A Tree Grows in Brooklyn to inform others about what it was like growing up in a small neighborhood in Brooklyn in the early 1900s. In one chapter, she recalls "with a peculiar tenderness" how Brooklynites celebrated Thanksgiving (Smith 1). Smith's use of cultural terminology, such as "ragamuffin" or "slamming gates," helps the reader better understand the language used by children in the Williamsburg neighborhood at that point in history. Her detailed description of the children's selection of costumes reveals the popular culture of the time and tensions between the poor and rich of the town (1). Smith dwells not only on the cultural details of early Brooklyn, but she also describes emotional experiences of growing up poor. Although the children in Francie's classroom are hungry, they are "too proud to accept charitable food. . . . ," even when that food is about to be thrown away (3). For these children, dignity is more important than satisfying hunger pangs. Smith's careful attention to cultural, historical, and emotional details informs the reader of what it was like to grow up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in the early 1900s.

How did conservatism affect the nationalist movements in Europe?
Stells [14]

Hi there!

Conservatism affected the nationalist movements in Europe by delaying or extending nationalist struggles.

The belief that people belong to a group with a history, language and customs similar to theirs, is called a nation, and that the totality of a person's loyalty and sense of value must come from the nation.

Nationalism was an important movement in the nineteenth century that shaped the beliefs of many people in Europe, who tended to demonstrate the superiority of their nation over other nations. This type of thinking lead to conflicts between some European nations.
