The group hanging out in front of the movies cringed when Larry sauntered around the corner. His personality was so forceful tha

t he could hardly keep from giving everyone a hard time.
Jimmy spoke up to greet him, "Hey, Larry. I liked your speech today in class. You were quite, um, assertive when you jumped in and took Harold's turn."
Henry chimed in, "Yeah, I thought that Harold was acting a bit too modestly to get on with it."
Larry answered back favorably, "Thanks, guys. Do you mind if I join you?"
"No, not at all," said George, the group's unofficial leader. He was self-confident enough to take charge in any situation, figuring he was the best man for the job whether or not anyone else agreed.
Larry got in line behind them, and when he stepped up to the counter to purchase his ticket, the young clerk at the window nervously rang up his ticket. She fumbled with his change.
"Don't mind her," grumbled the deliberately paced veteran from the back of the booth. "She's new, but I bet she'll get the hang of things in no time," he offered with a rather unconvincing wink.

What does Henry suggest of Harold by using the word modestly in the paragraph above?
A. Harold was reserved.
B. Harold was bold.
C. Harold was humble.
D. Harold was timid.

What examples does the author provide to show the ""subversiveness"" of the characters in Sendak’s book? (b) Distinguish How wou
suter [353]

The "subversiveness" of the characters can be presented with real-life examples that show how children behave and think. These characters were portrayed too unreal and innocent before the publication of "Where the Wild Things Are."

The question above does not show the article to which it refers, but it is possible to see that it refers to the works of writer Maurice Sendak. Accordingly, we can answer the questions with the following information:

  • Maurice Sendak wrote children's books that revolutionized the children's literature market.
  • Their books featured characters with realistic behaviors that can be found in any real-life children.
  • That's because Maurice Sendak wrote characters that children could identify with, not characters that showed what adults expected of children.

Although praised by critics, Maurice Sendak had his work considered controversial, because it showed subversive and rebellious characters, in some ways. That's because, before he released his most famous work, "Where the Wild Things Are," the characters in children's books were quite innocent, obedient, without much personality.

In at least 150 words, discuss how the popularity of such works as Benjamin Franklin’s Poor Richard’s Almanack and “The Way To W
Kryger [21]

Benjamin Franklin's "The Way To Wealth" signifies the change from the "puritan plain" writing style to the "protestant work ethic" style. In fact, it wasn't just the writing style that changed, it was American values, traditions, nationalism, and culture that changed during this time as well. The popularity of The Way To Wealth showed that more and more Americans were concerned with higher levels of intellectual knowledge, than they did for futile religious dogma and rhetoric. Furthermore, Americans didn't love with being a colony of the British Empire, so this area in time also represented a gradual change in the American value of British nationalism, to American nationalism. Therefore, besides the fact that Americans were switching from the puritan faith to the protestant doctrine, they were also beginning to change their values in regards to education and British nationalism. The reason being, they no longer wanted education for the rich, but they wanted it for everyone and they weren't fond of being taxed a lot by Great Britain.
