Alfonso sat on the porch trying to push his crooked teeth to where he thought they belonged. He hated the way he looked. Last we

ek he did fifty sit-ups a day, thinking that he would burn those already apparent ripples on his stomach to even deeper ripples, dark ones, so when he went swimming at the canal next summer, girls in cut-offs would notice. And the guys would think he was tough, someone who could take a punch and give it back. He wanted "cuts” like those he had seen on a calendar of an Aztec warrior standing on a pyramid with a woman in his arms.
Why does Soto most likely open the story with this characterization of Alfonso?

a.to establish the idea that Alfonso cares a lot about how other people see him
b.to show that Alfonso has an unrealistic view of what makes people beautiful
c.to establish the idea that Alfonso is often in conflict with the people around him
d.to show that Alfonso has to work hard to look as good as other people do

How did many in South Carolina feel about unions after the general strike?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The 1920s marked a period of sharp decline for the labor movement. Union membership and activities fell sharply in the face of economic prosperity, a lack of leadership within the movement, and anti-union sentiments from both employers and the government. The unions were much less able to organize strikes.

It's not really what you're looking for, but i really hope this helps!

Do you think that talking about race and racial injustice, (either past and/or present) is necessary in order to promote change
alexgriva [62]
Not gonna answer fully as if I were answering the question, but here are some ideas that might help.
1. I think it can do a bit of both. I’d like to say it does more good but I can see how it could create tension still.
2. For this one change needs to be talked about. This is probably a bad comparison but would the fridge ever get cleaned if you never told the person with that job to do so?
3. Up to you, I get where the question is going but still unclearish
