Which line from “The Medicine Bag” best illustrates Martin’s conflict with Grandpa’s arrival?
elena-s [515]

Answer:

B.“His get-up wasn’t out of place on the reservation, but it sure was here, and I wanted to sink right through the pavement.”

Explanation:

The short story "The Medicine Bag" by Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve tells the story of a young boy named Martin who used to brag about his Sioux grandfather Joe Iron Shell. But his demeanor changed the moment his grandfather decided to come to his home in person.

Martin loved talking about his grandfather, telling his friends who have a picture of Martin's grandfather as someone larger than life, making <em>"Grandpa and the reservation sound  glamorous"</em>. And everything went well as long as grandpa stayed in the reservation but the moment he decided to visit Martin's family in Iowa, he felt unsure. This is because his friends will now see the real grandfather he had boasted so much about and then see the reality of the man they had thought to be an impressive and great man. The main conflict is shown when Martin admitted he <em>"wanted to sink right through the pavement"</em>. He felt ashamed of the way his grandfather had dressed, admitting that his get-up was out of place for his neighborhood even if it wasn't for the reservation.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

THE GIVER why do you think a Receiver must have the qualities named by the Chief Elder? Be specific.​
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Because if they don't have the qualities the person thinks they need then they won't be able to handle the memories in a logical and mature way. It's like choosing your successor, you wouldn't want them to be unprepared or to give them what you have and watch them ruin everything you've built to get destroyed because you made a mistake on choosing the person. They need to have specific qualities to fulfill the checklist and see if they're capable of enduring the duties that come with everything. They need to follow the same footsteps you did and continue the tradition.

Does this help?
