Answer:

The sentence that best states the them of "Everything that Rises Must Converge" is:

D. Crisis leads to clarity of perspective.

Explanation:

"Everything that Rises Must Converge" is a short story by author Flannery O'Connor. The plot revolves around J.ulian and his mother. J.ulian considers himself a modern, progressive young man, whose mind is open to the new times and new demands of society. On the other hand, he perceives his own mother in a most close-minded way, constantly judging her actions and believing she is wrong, even inferior, for having a prejudiced view of the word.

<u>J.ulian does not realize he is prejudiced as well, but against his own mother. </u><u>It is only at the end of the story, when she has stroke and dies (a crisis), that clarity comes to him.</u><u> She dies after having been punched by an African-American woman who felt offended by her. Instead of helping his mother, comforting her, explaining why that happened, J.ulian begins to humiliate her, saying she had gotten what she deserved. When she passes away, however, he has "his entry into the world of guilt and sorrow." He loses the woman who loved him unconditionally and who, in return, only received his judgment.</u>

NOTE: I had to type J.ulian with this dot because, for some reason, Brainly will not let me post the answer otherwise.

What was the most difficult part to read in "cold equations"
SVEN [57.7K]

Maybe I’ll come to you in your dreams with my hair in braids and crying because the kitten in my arms is dead; maybe I’ll be the touch of a breeze that whispers to you as it goes by; maybe I’ll be one of those gold-winged larks you told me about, singing my silly head off to you; maybe, at times, I’ll be nothing you can see, but you will know I’m there beside you.

She wants her brother and her parents to remember her as she was in her life rather than “the other way,” which refers to the way her body will be affected when it is out in space. Though the entire story is quite sad, this part is the most filled with emotion and, for me, the most difficult part to get through.

What helps me get through that part is to remind myself that here on Earth, we have options. This type of situation in which only one option exists does not typically arise in real life. The setting of the story—a space ship on a mission to deliver medicine—is unrealistic if not impossible today. Though there are real life situations in which a person’s life has to be sacrificed for the greater good (such as war), there probably cannot be, and will never be, a situation where a young girl has to die in such a cold and calculated manner. On Earth, we have learned to come up with creative solutions to problems so that if a situation like this were to occur, we would find a way out of it. I like to believe that, as humans, we do everything we can to spare the lives of the innocent at any costs.

Imagine you are assigned to write a paper on a social problem in America. What writing activity or activities will help you to g
Andre45 [30]

Whenever you are tasked with a writing project, there are a few different strategies that you can follow and that would most likely help you generate ideas for your paper.

In this example, your topic is social problems in America. The first thing you should do is focus on what you already know. You should think of social problems that you are familiar with. This might include subjects such as poverty, malnutrition or crime. An activity that could help you think of such concepts would be brainstorming.

The next step would be researching. You should use information sources in order to learn more about social problems in America. This might lead you to come up with ideas you had not thought about before.

After these two steps, you are likely to have an idea that would be a suitable topic for a paper.
