In "A Quilt Of A Country", Quindlen's point in comparing present-day New York with Philadelphia in her father's time is that in America, there is a clinging to the ethnicity, in background and custom, that has undermined the concept of unity. In her father's time in Philadelphia, Jewish boys would walk several blocks out of their way to avoid the Irish divide of Chester Avenue. I hope this helps.

Answer: No. Because of the colonization impact back then

Explanation:

Pligrims were the travelers who had their journey and action because of the holy place that they were tend to. It is a holy physical journey on foot with religious beliefs and that is why the Thanksgiving story has peace and culture as a key and idea of it.

When we are talking about this holiday, cross-cultural exchange of Pligrims and Indians is important.

On the other side, the planters and Wampanoag shared in a celebration of a harvesting so within many years they wouldn't be free. That is why for some people who are Native Americans, this holiday is not for celebrating. It is a holiday that is considering memories of colonization and an impact that colonization had for Indigenous people.

Read the following passages:

andre [41]

Answer: B. He changes the verbs to present tense.

Explanation:

In the adaptation, the biggest difference made was how he worded it to make it sound like it was happening in present tense.

Details were changed but not enough for it to be the main reason that the story felt like it was happening live so C. and D. are wrong.

The perspective was already in first person to begin with so A. is wrong as well.

The only option left is B. and we can see that he does change the story to be in present tense which is a good explanation as to how the story sounded like it was happening live.

I hope this helps!
