How is the idea that other nations are adding to their territories connected to a central idea of the text?
Kaylis [27]

One of the main goals of annexation is:

  • Expansion

<h3>What is Annexation?</h3>

This refers to the acquisition of a state territory by another country and which usually leads to the conversion of the territory into a state.

<h3>Hawaii Annexation</h3>

The events of the Spanish-American War in 1898 led to the use of some strategic locations such as the air base in Pearl Harbor which prompted American legislators to formally annex Hawaii and make it the 50th state in the year 1959.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to help you get a better understanding of the concept.

The fireflies had arrived, just as my father said they would, and I watched them with my dry lips parted in wonder, my palms sli
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Limiting the point of view to the narrator helps provide focus and increase the reader's interest.

Explanation:

It seems clear that the narrator wants to delay returning to the house, though you do not get that until the end of the paragraph. At first, it seems like a fanciful span of time for the young girl, or it seems like a young girl, naming fireflies and talking to them. And that sparks the imagination and builds a mental image of the scene and the actions involved.

Then, she turns her attention to the house, and wonders about her father. Was he still there? Was he waiting for her? I am drawn to the conclusion that her earlier behavior was done, as a way to avoid the real issue, of dealing with whatever awaited her in an interaction with her father.

As a first-person point of view, of the narrator, the reader is invited to enter into the mind of the narrator. Once there, it is as if the reader is living the scene. One can see the dark night, feel the wind, and realize it is time to get a drink of water, in the house, where her father is. I actually licked my own parched lips while reading the story.
