My grandmother gave me bad advice and good advice when I was in my early teens. For the bad advice, she said that I should becom

e a barber because they made good money and listened to the radio all day. “Honey, they don’t work como burros,” she would say every time I visited her. She made the sound of donkeys braying. “Like that, honey!” For the good advice, she said that I should marry a Mexican girl. “No Okies, hijo”—she would say— “Look, my son. He marry one and they fight every day about I don’t know what and I don’t know what.” For her, everyone who wasn’t Mexican, black, or Asian were Okies. The French were Okies, the Italians in suits were Okies. . . . she lectured me on the virtues of the Mexican girl.

B. She is unwilling to embrace any aspect of multiculturalism because she detests American culture.

The answer is C. She wants to preserve her family’s Mexican culture even though she no longer lives in Mexico.

Explanation:

In the excerpt presented, the narrator describes the ideas his grandmother has about the job he should have and the type of woman he should marry. In this, it is revealed the grandmother wants his grandson to become a barber, and also she opposes he marries an "Okie" or a woman that is not Mexican, this shows the grandmother resist part of the new culture and she aims at preserving her family's Mexican culture which explains she does not want influences from other cultures. This also means she does not necessarily hate American culture but she just opposes someone that is not Mexican becomes part of the family including Italians, Asians, French, etc. and not only Americans. Therefore, it can be inferred the grandmother "wants to preserve her family’s Mexican culture even though she no longer lives in Mexico".

Which portion of an informational text usually contains the thesis?
Marizza181 [45]
Short Answer: A
A really super writer could get away with putting the thesis statement in the conclusion of a paragraph piece. But present day English Departments have become very rigid about where the thesis is.

It is always in the introduction. The idea is that you have to guide your reader to the arguments that follow in the paragraphs to come between the introduction and the conclusion.

Why doesn’t Nnaemeka want to write to his father about his marriage plans?
Ad libitum [116K]

This refers to the story "Marriage is a Private Affair" by Chinua Achebe.

Nnaemeka wants to wait until he can see his father and is able to tell him in person. He is worried that his father will hate the idea of the marriage, because Nene (his fiancé) is not from the Ibo tribe. Moreover, she was not chosen for him in an arranged marriage, as is tradition. Nnaemeka is worried his father will disapprove of the marriage. He ends up being right as the father is enraged to find out the news.
