Answer:

Throughout each story, the characters try to prove something to themselves or other people. In Maureen Daly's short story "Sixteen" the narrator is clearly trying to prove to the reader that she is smart and popular. A very clear example of this occurs at the beginning of the story when the narrator is describing herself. Daly writes, "I mean, I want you to understand from the beginning that I'm not really so dumb. I know what a girl should do and what she shouldn't. I get around." When she says, "I want you to understand," she is clearly directing the statement at us, the reader. As she goes on to say that she is not really that dumb, her message clearly becomes an attempt to convince us that she is smart. Finally, when she says, "I get around," it appears as though she is trying to tell the reader that she is popular. Combining what has just been learned from the narrator's statements, She is trying to prove to someone her ethos: that she is smart enough and popular enough to be telling us a story about a boy.

How is conformity and individuality shown in "no gumption"
Vesna [10]

Individuality has been shown in "No Gumption" by showing the traits and the characteristics of Russell Baker that his mother realized which made him a writer. One of that situation was when he was eleven years old, he brought a text graded with A and his mother decided he could be a writer

<u>Explanation:</u>

"No Gumption" is a chapter taken from autobiography of Russell Baker where he tells how for his mother he did not have gumption at all, he was a shy boy who had to help his family in a difficult time, after his father's death. In this chapter, the writer is in the obligation of selling magazines to support his family, but the decision was made by his mother, because he was the man of the family and he was superposed to bring some money.

Unfortunately he was not like his younger sister Doris, who was intelligent and diligent. He had this job during a time, but he did not succeed, he did not feel comfortable ringing doors, actually, he felt scared of this. Finally, when he was eleven years old, he brought a text graded with A and his mother decided he could be a writer, and this time he liked this decision, because writers did not have to sell, writers did not have to ring doors.

HAS ANYONE DONE THIS QUESTION I NEED HELP ITS HALF OF MY GRADE
gayaneshka [121]
Inchcape Rock is a popular poem by Robert Southey about the Inchcape Rock Legend, a reef which is situated in the North Sea, close to the coastal region of Angus in Scotland. The Inchcape Rock is known for its infamy as causation for shipwreck. This poem by Robert Southey revolves around the famous folktale of an Abbot, a monk who placed a bell on the reef to issue warning to seamen and seafarers about the impending danger during storms. According to the folktale, whenever the bell used to ring, the seafarers used to bless the Abbot’s wisdom and thank him for saving them from danger. But a sea robber named Ralph cut down the bell to earn money and treasures from the ships that fatally crashed against the rock. However, a day came when Ralph’s vessel too encounters a storm and crashes against the rock. This is when he hears death bells ringing.

This is probably more than two paragraphs, so I suggest taking what you like best out of it. I just wanted to write enough that way you would have enough for your assignment. I included the main idea and events. Have a wonderful day!
