UNIT 8 JOURNAL PROMPT 2: A WORN PATH

English
1 answer:
lutik1710 [3]3 years ago

Answer:

Welty says Phoenix is “very old and small” and walks with a cane and I infer that she is poor from the rag on her hair and her flour-sack apron. With unlaced shoes and tired steps, she seems an unlikely “phoenix." But her name is not purely ironic. Phoenix is strong, seen in the way she deals with obstacles like thorns and a hunter’s gun. Welty hints at this when Phoenix says that she isn’t as old as she thought. Her strength and dignity suggests a phoenix-like ability to rise from the ashes of poverty and racial isolation. The name also suggests Phoenix’s longevity: though the story takes place in 1941, she was already too old in 1865 to go to school. Like a phoenix, too, she makes her journey again and again without failure. This is why Eudora Welty chose to name the main character Phoenix.

What does Harriet Tubman mean when she says “I was a conductor on the underground railroad… I never ran my train off the track,
RideAnS [48]
What she means is that she had made 19 trips to Maryland, helped 300 people to freedom, yet she was never captured and didn’t fail to deliver her "passengers" to safety. As Tubman herself said, "On my Underground Railroad I [never] run my train off [the] track [and] I never [lost] a passenger." During these journeys she helped rescue people that were from her own family and people who weren’t from her own family. You can check her story in the America Library.

What is one method for identifying supporting details? Ask yourself which sentence is the topic sentence. Ask yourself who, what
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is Ask yourself which sentence is the topic sentence.

Explanation:

One of the main methods to identify supporting details is to be able <u>to recognize the main idea of the text.</u> This is essential to understand what the author meant.

You can follow three steps to identify them:

  • Identify the topic: To achieve this, you must ask yourself <em>"What is the text about?" </em>
  • Identify the idea the author wants to convey: To achieve this, you must ask yourself <em>"What does the author wants me to know about the subject?"</em>
  • Identify the details that support the author's main idea: To achieve this you must take the answer obtained by asking “What is the text about?”, and add it to the answer obtained from the question “What does the author want to know about the topic? “ And then find a phrase in the text that best matches those answers.

Explain how education and training impact career options and future earning potential
Aneli [31]

Education and training helps to open doors to many different job opportunities.  While college is not for everyone, there are different training programs where you can earn special certificates and licenses to set you apart from other people.  The entire point is to make a living where all of your needs are met.  Simply having a high school diploma only makes you eligible for bare minimum jobs where you are completing against several others.  Yes, you are often able to work your way up the ladder if you are a hard worker, but that could take years.  In order to have more options and a future where you are earning more money than minimum wage.
