[Dee explains to her mother that her name is now Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo. Her mother wonders what happened to her real name, D

ee.]
“She’s dead,” Wangero said. “I couldn’t bear it any longer, being named after the people who oppress me.”

“You know as well as me you was named after your aunt Dicie,” I said. Dicie is my sister. She named Dee. We called her “Big Dee” after Dee was born.

“But who was she named after?” asked Wangero.

“I guess after Grandma Dee,” I said.

“And who was she named after?” asked Wangero.

“Her mother,” I said, and saw Wangero was getting tired.

[To prevent further discussion, the narrator tells Dee (Wangero) that she doesn’t know any more history. She actually does.]

In “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker, what does this conversation show about Dee (Wangero)?

Dee respects her mother’s knowledge and opinions.
Dee thinks her mother and Aunt Dicie oppressed her.
Dee does not see her family history as part of her heritage.
Dee is interested in learning about her family heritage.

From Alice Walker's short story, Everyday Use, Dee is one of the daughters of Ms Johnson. She is pretty and educated in comparison with her sister, Maggie. Dee changed her name because she doesn't accept the mother's and grandmother's identity since they have been descended from slavery. By this way, she creates her so-called own new identity. The story is the pursuit of a true black identity where it is confronted with values. The correct answer is the third option.

What is the author’s response to the claim that Shakespeare “never owned a book”? What tone does he use in his response? Support
GaryK [48]

Based on the excerpt, it can be deduced that the response of the author was that Shakespeare owned books and he used a humorous tone as he pointed out facts by using humor.

Bill Bryson mocked that author of Shakespeare never owned a book. He stated that even though the author stated that attention wasn't paid to the books that he wrote in his biography, it doesn't mean that he didn't write a book.

Bill Bryson stated further that he was an actor, theoretical producer, and a citizen of Stratford. He stated that he owned books as she was a literate.

In conclusion, he also supported his arguments as he stated that he was clever and had some standing as a poet and playwright.

PLZ NEED HELP!!! Can someone write an edgeunity great fire essay in about 3 short paragraphs Plz
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

One paragraph sorry I don't know too much on it.

Explanation:

the structure of The Great Fire reinforce the central idea because the cause-and-effect structure illustrates the ways the firefighters tried to put out the blaze, and the impact of their actions. Most residents came out to watch the blaze because residents were used to fires and did not think that this one was different from any others. Several key mistakes contributed to the spread of the great fire and stopped it from being put out i.e. Schaffer's assistant refused to correct the signal.
