2. Why are education and communication important in Maniac Magee and The Story of My

English

Hey there!

That's an amazing question.

Below's my answer:

Let's compare and contrast these books (focusing on education and communication).

<u>The Story of My  Life</u>

  • Written by Hellen Keller
  • Author discusses her many constraints in growing up
  • Education was available, but, until she learned Braille, life was hard
  • She found it hard to communicate
  • 1st person autobiography
  • Describes how her life was changed with Anne Sullivan
  • Has extraordinary language (high-leveled)

<u>Maniac Magee</u>

  • Written by Jerry Spinelli
  • Talks about an White orphan who runs away to a small town in Pennsylvania, Two Mills
  • Education was there, Grayson offered, Maniac refused (he was the only White)
  • Is shy
  • Describes how Maniac's life was changed when he went to Two Mills (Mars Bar, Amanda Beale, et cetera)
  • Uses slang to convey tone, mood, and theme

Looking at the above points, we can presume that both <u>Maniac Magee</u> and <u>The Story of My Life</u> discuss the struggles that occur when growing up (education and communication) when you are seen differently.

Which statement illustrates society's view of women as illustrated by Spenser's sonnet?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Which statement illustrates society's view of women as illustrated by Spenser's sonnet?

A. Women's physical beauty was glorified.

B. Women were seen as primarily homemakers.

C. Women were portrayed as temptresses who lured men.

D. Women were portrayed as equal to men in all ways.

Answer:

The statement that best illustrates society's view of women is:

A. Women's physical beauty was glorified.

Explanation:

Even without knowing to what specific sonnet this question refers, it is still possible to answer it. Edmund Spenser, born in 1553, is well known for talking of beauty in his sonnets. Not only does he often glorify women's physical beauty, a common theme for the time period when he lived, but even beauty in thinking and loving. Of course, back then women were not seen as men's equals at all. With all that in mind, we can safely choose letter A as the correct option.

What is a good phrase to choose from the Declaration Of Independence to base a rap on?
labwork [276]
You could do the phrase "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." These are obviously the unalienable rights guaranteed in the Declaration of Independence. For example, you could say something like "without these unalienable rights, the country would be just a mess." Hope this helps!
