APEX - D. Because the government wants to hide her exquisite beauty.

Answer: D. Because the government wants to hide her exquisite beauty.

In "Harrison Bergeron," we encounter a dystopian society in which every citizen is meant to be equal to everyone else. The way in which the government achieves this is through the use of "handicaps." People who are too intelligent, too beautiful or too graceful wear these in order to resemble everyone else. This is the case of the ballerina. As she was extremely beautiful, she is forced to wear a mask so that she is not any better than the rest of the population.

Like Rachel from The Girl Who Fell from the Sky, Scout is a first-person
Doss [256]

Answer:

Scout is able to narrate historical moments and very broad social causes of American society, while Rachel narrates only from her own perspective.

Explanation:

Although Scout and Rachel are very punctual and efficient narrators in presenting their perspectives, thoughts and emotions about the experiences and events they witnessed, they differ in a very important point. This point is the historical and social factor.

Rachel narrates only the facts that are directly related to her, while Scout narrates the facts about her, about historical events and about very broad and impacting social causes in American society. Scout has the ability to narrate prejudice, about southern society, about intolerance, about religious hypocrisy, about incorrect judgment, racism and other causes.

Reread lines 34-85 from the text Biles. Explain how Eugene acts differently from the rest of the family. Why is his father so up
gregori [183]

Eugene reacts differently from the rest of the family because he never waits for them when they go hiking. His father is upset because he thinks that the family has to "enjoy together."

<h3>Reason for Father's Annoyance</h3>

In the text, Eugene's father was annoyed because he runs away from the family when they go hiking in the mountains.

Father said that he had a hard life when growing up and had every reason to run away but Eugene had his family and should not run away from them.

Father believes that they should enjoy themselves together so Eugene should not stay apart from others.

Illustrators. By definition, illustrators demonstrate the verbal messages they accompany. Waving a hand to say "hello" is an example of an illustrator. Illustrators are also used to communicate dimensions or direction. When asked to describe the length or width of an object, a person might hold out her hands or separate her thumb and forefinger to illustrate the measurement.
