Alone in her studio, Mina sat in front of her canvas admiring her latest creation, when the doorbell rang. "Coming!" Mina shoute

d cheerfully as she ran down the stairs. She twisted the deadbolt and opened the door, but to her surprise, the only thing waiting for her was the fresh air of the beautiful spring day. "Hello?" she asked, looking around. No one was there. She was just about to close the door when a glimmer of color caught her eye. Down by her feet, there was a small red box Intrigued, she picked it up and took one last look around. A light breeze tickled her arm, and she shuddered.

Answer and Explanation:

The author clearly uses a third-person point of view, which can be seen due to the lack of first person pronouns. Whether his point of view is limited or omniscient, however, is impossible to tell just from this part. This passage focuses solely on Mina, and even with her the narrator is not revealing any thoughts. As for creating interest in the story, the author introduces a conflict right from the start: the mysterious red box at Mina's feet. This event makes readers curious as to who left it there and why, and what the box contains.

Answer:

Explanation:

When New York State recently marked the 100th anniversary of its passage of women’s right to vote, I ought to have joined the celebrations enthusiastically. Not only have I spent 20 years teaching women’s history, but last year’s Women’s March in Washington, D.C. was one of the most energizing experiences of my life. Like thousands of others inspired by the experience, I jumped into electoral politics, and with the help of many new friends, I took the oath of office as a Dutchess County, New York legislator at the start of 2018.

So why do women’s suffrage anniversaries make me yawn? Because suffrage—which still dominates our historical narrative of American women’s rights—captures such a small part of what women need to celebrate and work for. And it isn’t just commemorative events. Textbooks and popular histories alike frequently describe a “battle for the ballot” that allegedly began with the famous 1848 convention at Seneca Falls and ended in 1920 with adoption of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. For the long era in between, authors have treated “women’s rights” and “suffrage” as nearly synonymous terms. For a historian, women’s suffrage is the equivalent of the Eagles’ “Hotel California”: a song you loved the first few times you first heard it, until you realized it was hopelessly overplayed.

A closer look at Seneca Falls shows how little attention the participants actually focused on suffrage. Only one of their 11 resolutions referred to “the sacred right to the elective franchise.” The Declaration of Sentiments, written by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and modeled on the U.S. Declaration of Independence, protested women’s lack of access to higher education, the professions and “nearly all the profitable employments,” observing that most women who worked for wages received “but scanty remuneration.

Alecsey [184]

The White Beauty Bar soap is one of the many products of Dove’s Skin Cleansing line. Dove claims this soap will give people softer, smoother, more radiant skin in comparison to any ordinary soap. This soap is mainly used for nourishing dry skin of face, body, and hands and it is advertised to contain ¼ moisturizing cream that helps retain skins moisture.[1] This bar soap has a variety of ingredients listed on Dove’s website, some of them are: Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate, Stearic Acid, Lauric Acid, Sodium Isethionate, Water, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Cocoate Or Sodium Palm Kernelate, and Tetrasodium Etidronate, and is important to mention this soap is not vegan, because it is manufactured from animal fat.

Throughout this paper, besides the ingredients, I will examine which are the primary raw materials extracted, the materials added during the manufacturing process, the transportation and packaging materials, and waste materials. Also, I will determine the waste materials and how these materials can be reused or recycled. The goal of this paper is to evaluate the composition of the materials used to make these bar soaps, and how these materials have an environmental impact throughout the different stages of the life-cycle of the soap with a central focus on Materials

Based on “Mother Tongue” by Amy Tan, write a thematic statement and write one rhetorical strategy that creates pathos. Explain w
timurjin [86]

Answer:

Thematic statement: The effort of foreigners to speak the English language must be respected.

Rhetorical strategy that creates pathos: The immigrant is part of the construction of the country, disrespects him because of the way he speaks is to disrespect the nation and promote the discomfort of citizens who are struggling to communicate.

Explanation:

In “Mother Tongue”, Amy Tan reveals her experience living with her foreign mother in America. Amy's mother is Chinese and although she understands English perfectly, she has difficulties in speaking the language fluently and with the rules of grammar established perfectly. This caused Amy's mother to be disrespected and ignored several times, causing her severe discomfort and preventing her, as a contributor in the nation, from living a full life.

This type of behavior is not correct, especially when we live in a country created and built by immigrants, who are the basis of all American families and citizens, with the exception of the natives.
