Melvin couldn't believe his luck. He had always wanted to get a gold and purple Dynamite mountain bike. He was working hard at h

is chores and saving his allowance. Finally, he had enough money to buy the bike of his dreams. His father said they would go to the store on Saturday. Friday night, Melvin could hardly sleep. His mind was unable to rest as it raced with excitement and anticipation. After a few hours of counting sheep after sheep, he finally drifted off into a deep sleep where his dreams were vivid and realistic. He could feel the wind in his hair as he raced up and down the hills on his new mountain bike. In the morning, Melvin's father woke him up at 7 am sharp. After getting dressed and brushing their teeth, they got in the car and headed to the store. Melvin felt like he could burst with excitement! When his father asked if he was ready, Melvin quickly replied, "Are you kidding? I have been ready for months!" When they arrived at the store, Melvin sprinted to the back where the bikes were. His eyes glistened when he saw all the new, shiny bikes. His choices were endless! But there was only one that he really wanted.

He just wanted to give up and go home, but Melvin's father told him not to worry. Like any dad would, he went and spoke to the store clerk.

We know an hour is 60 minutes so we have to divide the number of minutes he is talking from the hour. 60 divided by 12 is 5 so if he is running a mile every 12 minutes then he is running 5mph

In at least 150 words, describe the setting and historical context of "I Stand Here Ironing." Explain how
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Olsen's story takes place in the most ordinary of settings: a mother, at home, ironing. As the story develops, this generic setting starts to take on specific characteristics. It is focused on a working class home in the 1950's in America. During the Depression years, many single, working mothers struggled with a lack of social services and financial support. Looking at the mere title of this story conveys the dullness in the lives of women in america at the time. The historical context of the story sets an orthodox tone, and a basis for a stirring revolution to bring liveliness into the lives of women during the great depression.
