"The Turtle" is a short story written by John Steinbeck and which makes part of the novel "The Grapes of Wrath", in chapter three. This story narrates the adventure of a land turtle who has to persevere and fight against all obstacles to be able to cross a highway in order to get to the other side and continue on its path. Along the way, the turtle must also face the challenge of dragging its heavy, but protective shell along, and the animal will do all in its power to reach the other side, with its shell intact and proud, regardless of how heavy it is, because it is its only means of protection. This story is riddled with imagery and metaphors that paint the hardships that the people of the Dust Bowl era and the Great Depression had to face when the economy came crashing down and hunger and lack of opportunity ruled in the United States. However, there is one image used, which is the trench that is carved from the efforts done by the turtle once it finally reaches its goal, and this symbol shows D: a road or example to follow. This is the correct choice because the trench symbol represents the road that many others will follow and which was carved by someone who already faced the challenge and is worthy to be used as an example.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:Music and food,

that’s my familia,

memorabilia

of spirit-brood,

silly or lewd,

laughing out loud,

stray island crowd

making up topics,

memory’s tropics

under a cloud.

Dad wasn’t square with us, hid who he was.

Adman, Mad Man, cad, dear old dad

Told us he was French and Italian.

Where, I wondered, was la famiglia?

In Lingayen Pangasinan,

Far away and long ago.

Visiting your parents without

you feels like treason.

Hung frames are well composed

without me, with people well before me.

I had no good reason

to infiltrate the frame

with suspect execution.

Mama laughs and pretends

that puffs of flour are dragon breaths.

There are more earthworms than I dreamed possible.

My arms wrap all the way around

part of her.

Family may come to us from other bloodlines—

when the ones with which we shared a womb are unable to love us back.

We realize then-

it is more than blood that binds us.

We are spiritual kin.

Her name, written in ashes floating over Bergen Belsen,

Is mine now.

I imagine she’s smiling,

Remembered in America.

La familia, fuente de perseverancia y pilar de todo aquel que ha caído.

En ella encuentras la paz y el refugio cuando te encuentras perdido.

La familia, fuente de fortaleza

Para todo aquel reprimido

We are the palliative care. The family.

Cancer eats our kind but we circle, strong,

tighten the pack, carry the weak

to the next world, let go

only to find them again later

calling us home.

Seeing Father, a steely, serious man, care for his dying mother with exquisite tenderness, transformed in an instant a long, hard-held perception of his coldness into hot, exploding truth.

It’s not the name

nor is it the blood

It’s the connection built up

through mind body and soul

your brothers are more than siblings

and the only word to describe that connection

is brotherhood

Two loving mothers

Female sibling, dogs, and cat

And me, the one male

The Wilsons live life loud.

if we make a sound

we stand proud

and say it loud

quite is not fun

When we run everyone can hear us

we are louder than a bus

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Hi Susan,

I  hope you are doing fie. As you were admited to what it used to be my school I'm going to give you some tips that will hlep you.

The school colors are blue and yellow, be sure to not wear the colors of the rival's school, which are green and white, on important dates such as football games or any other event. The students take very seriously their colors and what they mean.

If you want to read or study in a quiet room you should go to the library on the second floor. It is so big that it feels s if you are alone there, but remenber to not eat there or Mrs. Colton will tell you to leave.

The teachers are frienfly and ready to help you if you have any problem. Remember to be respectuful toward them and to always make your hoework, specially with Mr. Sulivan, he doesn't tolerate lazyness at all.

I hope that these tips are helpful and that you have a great year! If you have any doubt or need advice, tell me, I will be happy to help you!.

Best wishes.

Your Sister.
