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.

Trevor says about his mother, "She wanted a child, not a man stepping in to run her life" (Noah 26). How does this explain Trevo
kirill115 [55]

This question is about the book called "Born A Crime" by Trevor Noah

Answer and Explanation:

Noah's mother was South African and her father was a Swiss. During the apartheind marriage between them was forbidden, but Noah's father wanted to have a relationship with his mother, while Noah's mother wanted to have a child, but did not want a man in her life. This allowed Noah's mother to have a relationship (even though it was considered a crime) and to get pregnant, without having to marry Noah's father, and this allowed Noah's father to have a relationship with Noah's mother, without having to assume and taking care of a future child. That's what happened, but when Noah was born and he was neither a white child nor a black child, he was considered a crime, since the relationship between whites and blacks was illegal and he was clearly the result of such a relationship.
