<span>In Nectar in a Sieve, what does rice represent?
life</span>
This question needs to be looked from two perspectives.
The first perspective is that of the characters from the book, The Giver, themselves. From their perspective it is possible as we can see from the novel when they almost showed no emotion to the news that Gabe will be released. This is due to the circumstances of the book where everyone is thought to be detached and they do not even understand the concept of love. Only Jonas gets attached to Gabe.
Second is our own perspective and it is nigh impossible for a person not to get attached to a baby for whom it is caring at least a little bit. The emotional attachment develops quickly for almost all of the people. So the contract in the real world probably would not work at all.
This question is missing the options. I've found them online; they are the following:
Which word best describes Annie in this excerpt?
A. intelligent
B. reckless
C. confident
D. polite
Answer:
The word that best describes Annie in this excerpt is:
C. confident
Explanation:
Let's take a look at the following line from the excerpt:
<em>ANAGNOS: Annie, be- humble. It is not as if you have so many offers to pick and choose.</em>
<u>It is the line above that reveals what we need to know about Annie. Anagnos is telling her to be humble because, at this moment, she sounds overly confident. She even says she only has trouble when she is right, and that she is not the one to blame if she has trouble so often. Annie's confidence is actually quite close to becoming arrogance. She is willing to behave, but Anagnos still feels the need to tell her to be humble.</u>
Answer:
The emotional suggestions of a word, that is not literal.
