Read the passage from "Two Kinds.” Last week I sent a tuner over to my parents’ apartment and had the piano reconditioned, for p

urely sentimental reasons. My mother had died a few months before and I had been getting things in order for my father, a little bit at a time. I put the jewelry in special silk pouches. The sweaters she had knitted in yellow, pink, bright orange—all the colors I hated—I put those in moth-proof boxes. I found some old Chinese silk dresses, the kind with little slits up the sides. I rubbed the old silk against my skin, then wrapped them in tissue and decided to take them home with me. What evidence supports the idea that the narrator’s motivation is intrinsic? “Last week I sent a tuner over to my parents’ apartment and had the piano reconditioned, for purely sentimental reasons.” “My mother had died a few months before and I had been getting things in order for my father, a little bit at a time.” “I put the jewelry in special silk pouches. The sweaters she had knitted in yellow, pink, bright orange—all the colors I hated—I put those in moth-proof boxes.” “I found some old Chinese silk dresses, the kind with little slits up the sides.”

The answer is:

"Last week I sent a tuner over to my parents’ apartment and had the piano reconditioned, for purely sentimental reasons.”


This is intrisic because she says, "purely for sentimental reasons" meaning she wasn't influenced by anything from the outside, this was something she did on her own based on how she personally felt. It was based on her emotions and her feelings. Hope this helps:)

According to Aristotle, poetry includes _____. Select all that apply.
Vesna [10]

According to Aristotle, poetry includes Dramatic tragedies and Dramatic comedies

<u>Explanation: </u>

In Poetics, Aristotle gave a broad definition of poetry. He ranked tragedies more than the epic, saying that it has high standards, and dramatic comedies were placed at the bottom.

He advocated the idea of catharsis in tragedy, which was quite relevant in the ancient Greek tragedies like Oedipus Rex, for example. Dramatic comedies were used to refer base matters and not the lofty ones as they do not invoke any sort of catharsis.
