Answer:

Characterization

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the author develops the characterization of the Lin family by revealing that they followed Chinese traditions and their usual methods of cooking and eating. This literary device consists of developing fictional characters in a story by revealing characters' physical appearance, personality, interests, or motifs in a direct way, for example, by making straightforward statements about a character's personality or traits, or in an indirect way, by revealing a character's personality through the description of their habits, relationships, dialogues, etc.

What arguments were given in favor of war with Great Britain? What arguments were given against war with Great Britain?
masha68 [24]
Do you mean The American Revolution? If thats the case, the arguments in favor it Britain is that they have the the strongest navy, so without the help of the French (including Lafayfette) they couldn’t stand a chance, and the king(King George III) tried to pay the debt, and prevented the colonists (Americans) from going to the other side, so they don’t have to get into a fight with the natives. As for against, King George took too much control, and even made a declaratory law that he could control what happens in the colonies, and that the colonists would have very little power. He was also taxing them, but they were poor, so they rebelled against him. Sorry if I wrote a book. Also, I hope it helps you!

I am having a bad day. Trouble writing an argumentive essay. Please help me if you are kind enough. Will mark brainliest​
Amanda [17]

While earning a B.A. and B.Phys.Ed. at McMaster U, Hamilton, ON, Can. circa 1970 I learned though we were still generating enough peace to keep us alive, the complementary amount of conflict predominated our existence. I asked why. After years of looking in and outside all the boxes, I found the answer is the question of meaning I call "the last why", for it will never be answered. So our ancestors tried with increasing effort to "fill the void" "Why am I?" found ever since, according to one story, it was first asked by 'Eve', who thus gave birth to humanity. The ways we try all conflict. The result is our history of increasing conflict that unless we quit, will soon end with our last puff of peace.

In 2005 my Mom's need gave me the opportunity to discover if I was a fool for asking why by seeking reaction to the explication of life in my epic "The Last Why: the poem" the only way an anonymous carpenter could, with a website. I first tried to attract visitors with prose posts but when I realized I could also rhyme reason in short verse I did for my poetry is much easier to remember. I've had to advertise so I could be twice the fool but likes suggest I may not be.  Abortion has again become

A leader in the daily news.

While one side wants to ban them all,

The other wants the right to choose.

This conflict is a recent one

Among the fights in history.

The reason for these fights in life

Is not at all a mystery.

The story of our life began

About 2 million years ago.

Our Mother Nature planned our life.

She made the choice to let us grow.

Our predecessors reached out to

The bounds of their capacities,

To ‘mothers’, and to Nature’s God,

Our natural activities.

They had unique capacities

Which were by Mother Nature picked.

They traveled side by side to them

Therefore their paths did not conflict.

They grew to be what we see now,

Gained natural intelligence,

Developed minds that could ask “why?”,

They started wanting to make sense.

Our Mother ‘Eve’ asked “Why am I?”

200,000 years ago,

Thus gave birth to humanity.

The answer, ‘Adam’ didn’t know.

Unknowns he feared instinctively.

This one he sensed he should avoid.

So he created a response

With which he tried to fill the void.

It didn’t for there is no way.

But his successors felt the need

To try repeatedly since then.

We still try now and don’t succeed.

Our tries are all unnatural

Activity. They’re all made up.

Increasing them diminishes  

The “reaching out…” that’s in our cup

Of life activities bestowed

On us by Nature long ago

With natural intelligence,

’Food’ for our minds we need to grow.

Our tries are motivated by

Unnatural intelligence

We claim mistakenly is truth

For make-believe does not make sense.

They’re all directed inwardly.  

Regardless of the blend we picked

Our tries oppose all others’ tries;

The consequence, they all conflict.

We try to fill the void with wealth,

Religion and philosophy,

Preeminence and jobs and love,

With any type of family.

We try with alcohol and drugs,

And then to make life most complex
