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

What are some pros and cons of a command economy
7nadin3 [17]
A command economy is where a central government makes all economic decisions. The government or a collective owns the land and the means of production. It doesn't rely on the laws of supply and demand that operate in a market economy. A command economy also ignores the customs that guide a traditional economy. In recent years, many centrally-planned economies began adding aspects of the market economy. The resultant mixed economy better achieves their goals.

When babies are born, their biological needs are all they know. When they are hungry, they want food, and when something hurts,
bekas [8.4K]

According to Freud, the part of the baby's brain fueling this behavior is the<u> "id".</u>


As indicated by Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory of personality, the id is the personality segment made up of oblivious clairvoyant vitality that attempts to fulfill fundamental urges, needs, and wants. The id works in view of the joy rule, which requests quick satisfaction of requirements. The id is one of the three noteworthy segments of identity proposed by Freud, the id, ego, and superego.
