What is the phrase in the sentence: Ricky, going down the staircase backward, was very unsteady.

English
1 answer:
zvonat [6]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Find the subject.  Who is doing something?  Ricky.  Ricky what?  Ricky was.  That is a complete sentence and it makes sense.  Ricky going does not make sense.  So, Ricky was.  What does very unsteady describe?  It describes how Ricky was.  It describes the verb, making "very steady" an adverbial phrase.  A prepositional phrase describes a noun. Nothing in this sentence describes Ricky.  "Going" is a helping verb. Ricky was going.  "Down the staircase backward," describes how Ricky was going, making it another adverbial phrase.

You didn't say what kind of phrase.  I hope I helped.

1) Discuss two characteristics of "The Lost Generation" writers.
lakkis [162]

Two characteristics of the writers of "The Lost Generation" are a lack of patriotism and pessimism about the future. After the First World War, women realized their importance in the labor market and politics and began to seek greater participation in these fields.

Fitzgerald uses imagery and descriptive language to give an in-depth look at the story. Two events that influenced modern literature were the Great Depression and the World Wars.

<h3>What was "The Lost Generation?"</h3>
  • It was a term created by Gertrude Stein and popularized by Ernest Hemingway.
  • It was a term that referred to the generation of people who fought in World War I and had to live through the Great Depression.
  • It was the term used to describe a tired generation, without perspectives and with a tendency to break rules and seek change.

The First World War brought many social changes, one of these changes was related to women, who realized the relevance and social strength they had. These women began to look for political representation that would allow for greater freedom and independence.

But not only did women's lives change during this period, but literature was also greatly affected by the two World Wars and the Great Depression. These events generated different literary styles and writers to tell their experiences, something that influences literature to this day.

Finally, it is important to emphasize how Fitzgerald's literary works present such a well-constructed scenario, which allows the reader to have a deep view of the work.

This happens through the constant use of imagery that makes the reader feel like living in that scenario and feeling all the impact it promotes. Fitzgerald also makes use of many adjectives creating an immersive and efficient descriptive language for the reader.

2. What does he mean when he writes, "Where activists were once defined by their
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The author means that now the tools are more important that the message itself.

Explanation:

The excerpt belongs to Small Change: Why the Revolution Won't Be Tweeted, an article written by Malcolm Gladwell, a Canadian journalist and writer. There, he discusses the impact of social media and other new tools in different movements across the world.

In this sentence, Gladwell means that the vehicle the message uses to travel is more important than the message itself. He uses as an example the case of Iran, where people got enough courage to uprise because of social media like Twitter. Even though it is an interesting idea, I don't totally agree with this. I think how the message travels is important, otherwise it could be really important but sterile. There's where the tools take more relevance; sometimes, due to different factors, the tools are faster and more efficient to use communication, but if the message is not relevant, then there are no good reasons to use the tools.
