In chapter 40, Sal receives a gift chicken from Ben. Chickens are Sal's favorite animal. However, this is not the only thing that is interesting about the chicken. The name of the chicken is Blackberry, which is interesting for two reasons. The first one is that blackberries remind Sal of her mother, and the feeling of fondness and sweetness associated with her. The irony, however, is that the chicken also reminds her of kissing, based on the story of the girl who claimed that kissing tasted like chicken. When Sal kissed a tree, she also felt a trace of blackberry, which reminded her of her mother.

Do you agree or disagree with the author's opinion that video games lead to gambling problems later?
Alex

Answer:

I agree that in some cases that might be the case especi if the game is a gambling game however, I doubt that is the case with most main-line video games. Considering how most games aren’t about gambling and usually have discipline causing you to loose money. For example, in the Mario and Sonic games produced by NIntendo and Sega, if you run into an enemy, you will loose money. Similarly, in the Zelda games there are games you can play and win prizes for around 20 rupees, however these games are challenging and will sometimes scam you.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

It's called that because it was one of the first streets in New York City to be lit with electric lights. People continue to use this term today because the millions of lights on the theatre marquees still brighten up the night sky in a flashing white.
