Why did the narrator's community doubt that

English
1 answer:
Ad libitum [116K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer and Explanation:

In the short story "Marigolds", by Eugenia Collier, the narrator lives in a poor black community. The story takes place during the Great Depression that devastated the United States in the 1930's. <u>Even though there were people who said "prosperity... was 'just around the corner,'" the narrator and her community knew better than to believe those words. They had always been poor. Their hard work never paid off. Those words, according to the narrator, "were white folks’  words." Maybe prosperity would return to white people soon, but the narrator's community had never seen or had it; the American Dream never came true for them. How can they believe those words if the people who say such words are the ones who exploit their work?</u>

  Watermelons and pineapples seem quite different when you first think about them and some factors do, but they are similar in many different ways. First, they are both fruits and they both contain juice which makes them the perfect thing to put in smoothies or on top of desserts. Secondly, they both have an ‘outer shell’ of sorts that helps protect the inside.  Both have bright colors on the inside and darker colors on the outside. Additionally, both are refreshing and could help people cool down in the heat.

  Many things make the two fruits different too. A watermelon covering is smooth and bright shades of green and the inside is a dark pale shade of pink, while a pineapple’s covering is a brown color, and it is rough and pointed in places and has a bright yellow interior. Watermelon is also heavier than a pineapple is, and it is cut in a separate way than a pineapple would be cut. While watermelons naturally have seeds in them, pineapples do not have seeds unless they are grown next to each other.  Pineapple contains more Vitamin C than watermelons, but watermelon contains more Vitamin A. Watermelons are also messier because they contain more juice.  

I hope this helps you.

It is 203 words. (I believe, you may want to double-check it)

I did not look up anything other than the Vitamin A and C facts, so I aplogize if it needs to be more detailed.

In his final lecture to his mother, Julian says: “You needn’t act as if the world had come to an end…because it hasn’t. From now

The final lecture in which Julian gave to her mother ironically applies more to him than his mother. It is because his mother's death was the least expected thing to happen yet it happen therefore Julian needs to accept it and face the new world without his mother.

Which of the following excerpts illustrates the theme that people are cautious around those who have hurt them?
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Excerpt II illustrates the theme that people are cautious around those who hurt them because of how people will be on guard and be on the lookout (probably for warning signs of the potential of being hurt again). Excerpt III illustrates the theme that people are cautious around those who hurt them because “in whose limbs there is latent flight” means that they have the ability/capacity to run away if the situation again rises.
