She was pulling black veins out of the backs of fleshy prawns.

English
1 answer:
Dafna11 [192]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Uses precise language to describe what Tan saw.

Explanation:

The short narrative essay "Fish Cheeks" by Amy Tan recounts the Christmas Eve dinner that her family had arranged with the minister's family in their home. Being a Chinese in America, Amy recounts how she was left anxious about inviting the boy who's her crush and his family over for dinner and worries that he might think them inferior.

The given line from the short essay is Amy describing what she saw when her mother was preparing for the dinner. Her mother's act of removing <em>"black veins out of the backs of fleshy prawns"</em> presents <u>the use of precise language that describes what she saw her mother do</u>.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

How is Miss Emily ""a fallen monument"" (part 1 paragraph 1)? To what is she a monument? Why is she repeatedly called an ""idol"
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

She is "a fallen monument" due to the fact that she fought for the equality of blacks and women. Because she was the last person that fought for the cause. Thus, she is regarded as "a fallen monument" to those that are scared and anxious to face the government. She is known as a idol due to the fact that she is the only one remaining on the cause for black women equality. One of the themes of the story is to be different and strong enough to stand for something and she tried to do that. She wanted to be the last person that fought for the cause.
