Answer:

A. The freedom to express oneself is valued by many, but some people discourage it and fear its consequences.

F. If you're going to be an inventor or creator, it's important to not be afraid to take risks.

Explanation:

In "Daughter of Invention" by J. Alvarez,  we are told about a family that migrated to America and wanted to start a new life.

The daughters were trying to cope in American schools. The mother was an  inventor who was inventing things. Cukita, one of the daughters the family was asked to write a speech to deliver during the Teacher's Day. Her daddy wasn't happy with what Cukita wrote. He torn it which made Cukita sad. But her mother assisted her to write another one which became the one that the nuns in her school loved and appreciated.

We see in the story that Cukita tried expressing herself but was discouraged by her daddy. After the discouragement from her dad, she was not afraid to rewrite the speech despite all that happened.

How does Josephine Preston Peabody’s use of imagery and figurative language enhance the story? Cite specific examples of imagery
lord [1]

Answer:

Imagery and figurative language are used in the short story as a way to understand some thoughts transmitted in sentences, as well as to intensify the reader's perception of these meanings.

Explanation:

Imagery is used in the text to intensify one of the reader's senses and make him better understand what is being described in the text. In this way, imagery has the ability, literally, to provoke a strong sensation in the reader and bring him closer to what he is reading. In the text we can see this in the lines:

<em>"At length, watching the sea-gulls in the air—the only creatures that were sure of liberty—he thought of a plan for himself and his young son Icarus, who was captive with him."</em>

Figurative language aims to express an idea based on the use of words that are not objectively related to that idea, but establishes a subjunctive relationship that gives a lot of meaning to the text, in addition to exercising the reader's reasoning and understanding of the constructions. We can see a figurative language in the lines:

<em>"He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind, down, down, with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away. "</em>
