Answer:
Kim's experiences caused him to have negative feelings about himself and his culture. This makes the reader understand why it was difficult for Kim to build his identity, which he is so attached to today.
Explanation:
This question is about "Hello, My Name Is ____" by Jason Kim. In this work Kim shows how his experiences as an Asian American made him ashamed of his ancestry and felt culturally isolated, for several years. Kim tells how desperately he wished he were not Asian and how it took a long time and a long journey of self-knowledge and self-acceptance for him to be able to build the identity he has today and that makes him so comfortable with himself, with his culture and with its positioning around race and descendants.
This isn't a great story, to be quite honest. The story focuses less on the ways man used to start fires and more on the ways that nature started fires independently of humans.
That being said, it would seem as though the author is trying to express the fragility of fire early on, and it does seem as though he/she is saying that early on, humans just found a small amount of fire from a really dangerous origin to use as a kindling.
For sure, your answer should come from the second paragraph, which is the paragraph describing early kindling methods.
Answer:
Since there is no answer to the child's question and the child is in the North, the carousel operator may give the child a stern reply.
Explanation:
"Merry-Go-Round" is a poem written by Langston Hughes. The poem is centered on the theme of racial segregation due to Jim Crow's section law.
The law disabled the colored people to mix with the whites, and created a separate section, at the back for all blacks, whether be it a train or a bus. But the child in this poem, the speaker, ask the carousel operator questions <em>"Where to sit?", </em>as there is no back in the merry-go-round.
The carousel operator may give the child a stern reply because he is from the North.
