Answer:

Abner Snopes feel justified in William Faulkner's "Barn Burning" which is shown in this textual evidence;<em> "Snopes justifies all his acts as justices or actions forced upon him, while the barn burning is actually his lashing out at the world for his many problem."</em>

Explanation:

Abner Snopes feels no remorse in burning barns, He blames society for his wrong doings. He burns barns to exert revenge and destroy the livelihood of the people he feels slighted him, He is filled with rage and jealousy because of his sense of inferiority.

Johnny is always "out in the open", along with the rest of the outsiders. This may resemble how easy it is for the boys to get hurt, as they do not have any protection and are an easy target.

What does Wollstonecraft dislike about the way women are educated?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

They weren't educated to be intellectuals, but to please women. Wollstonecraft says that too many women "exercise a short-lived tyranny" but end up "slaves". She felt that women should not be educated in isolation from men, but instead be taught the same things as men and should be afforded the same education.

Hope this helps!

Which word describes the tone of the memoir, Barrio Boy, by galarza
lukranit [14]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

Ernesto Galarza ("Barrio Boy") utilizes details to make the demeanor or tone of his memoir. He depicts his new school in America in detail contrasting it with his old school in Mexico to express his feelings toward the new school. He has different emotions too: intimidation, fear, unsureness.

The details focus upon the character is coming into another school without recognizing what's in the store since he doesn't talk the dialect nor does he think about their way of life.  

He expounds on how tall Miss Hopley and Miss Ryan were offering his tone of thanks and gratification for them just as recognizing their significance in his life. His tone all through the extract we read is that of gratefulness toward this school and how they enabled him to wind up "American" while remaining Mexican.
