Answer: communism

In "Garden of My Childhood," the author discusses his memories of China before the change of regime brought Communism and reeducation. The reference to a garden is symbolic, as it represents China. The garden is threatened by a horde that continues to approach, and this horde most likely represents communism. The author eventually relocated to the United States.

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question

White Noise , by Don DeLillo

"I was convinced she was saying something, fitting together units of stable meaning. I watched her face, waited. Ten minutes passed. She uttered two clearly audible words, familiar and elusive at the same time, words that seemed to have a ritual meaning, part of a verbal spell or ecstatic chant. Toyota Celica. A long moment passed before I realized this was the name of an automobile. The truth only amazed me more. The utterance was beautiful and mysterious, gold-shot with looming wonder. It was like the name of an ancient power in the sky, tablet-carved in cuneiform. It made me feel that something hovered. But how could this be? A simple brand name, an ordinary car. How could these near-nonsense words, murmured in a child’s restless sleep, make me sense a meaning, a presence? She was only repeating some TV voice. Toyota Corolla, Toyota Celica, Toyota Cressida. Supranational names, computer-generated, more or less universally pronounceable. Part of every child’s brain noise, the substatic regions to deep to probe. Whatever its source, the utterance struck me with the impact of a moment of splendid transcendence. I depend on my children for that."

Why is this quote significant?

Answer:

Steffie mumbling “Toyota Celica” in her sleep shows the constant presence of technology as threatening and comforting at the same time, which is a prevailing theme in DeLillo´s novel.

Explanation:

Read the sentence.

babunello [35]

Answer:

Assuming the word in bold is childhood, the correct answer is C. direct object.

Explanation:

It’s relatively easy to spot a direct object in a sentence - you can just ask the question Whom (for people), or What (for non-humans) to find it.

So here, the sentence is Carol spent her childhood at the beach.

If you ask the question, What did Carol spend at the beach?, you will get the answer - Her childhood. That way, you know it’s a direct object.

Fill in the blank with some/any/no/much/many/a lot of I didn't sleep ___ hours last night

Fantom [35]

Answer and Explanation:

If you are having a hard time figuring out which word goes into the black, try plugging all the words in to see if it makes sense.

I didn't sleep ___ hours last night

I didn't sleep some hours last night.

- This doesn't sound right; Some can be used for plural nouns, but because of the way this sentence is structured, it can't be applied.

I didn't sleep any hours last night.

- Another way of saying any (in this case) is at all, which would mean the sentence needs to be restructured, which we can't do.

I didn't sleep no hours last night .

- This isn't correct, because it contains a double negative, which is when two negative words are used in the same clause (group of words containing a verb) to explain a single negative idea.

I didn't sleep much hours last night.

- Due to hours being a countable plural noun, we can't use much, therefore this is incorrect.

I didn't sleep many hours last night.

- This is correct! If you wanted to replace an amount of hours slept (or not slept), you can use many to show you slept for x amount of time without being specific.
