Answer:

C). Descriptions show an example of how Amy sees two cultures reacting to food differently.

Explanation:

The descriptions provided in the given excerpt from 'Fish Cheeks' that function to support Tan's claim is that 'they display an instance of how Amy perceives <u>two cultures' response towards food in different manner</u>.' This distinction in the Chinese and American culture helps the readers' in understanding that the different cultures have distinct customs but one must not be ashamed of their native culture. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

Answer:

Amy Tan uses details to show that her family's meal was embarrassing. Her description of her father burping uses imagery because the reader can imagine hearing her father's burp. The guests are astonished, which means they are shocked, because this custom is different. Robert's red face is another description that helps the reader picture him being embarrassed as well. The minister's burp is quiet, and he seems embarrassed by the custom too. Amy says this moment made her silent for the rest of the night, which shows that she is embarrassed.

No one was looking forward to tommy's fifth birthday. on that day, he would be removed from the family to enter communal living.
mario62 [17]

I would say the bet answer would be option D "Five-year-olds will be evaluated." This would set the stories setting as a dystopia because no five year old would be evaluated at such a young age and given a job. Tommy was also worried that his creativity, and intelligence would go unnoticed and he would be placed as a coal processor and hoped he would become a scientist or a programmer. Also, remember that a dystopia is a made up world of injustice and suffering.

Hope this helps.

How is the character Gerasim portrayed in chapters 9-12 of Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich? Is he a realistic or unrealistic
vivado [14]

Answer: The answer on plato is:Tolstoy presents an unrealistic portrayal of the character Gerasim in chapters 9–12. The kindness and patience he shows when attending to his sick master for long hours are not entirely believable. The following excerpt from chapter 9 shows that Gerasim is completely unaffected by the daily unpleasantness of attending to Ivan Ilyich’s needs: Gerasim was sitting at the foot of the bed dozing quietly and patiently, while he himself lay with his emaciated stockinged legs resting on Gerasim's shoulders; the same shaded candle was there and the same unceasing pain. "Go away, Gerasim," he whispered. "It's all right, sir. I'll stay a while." Tolstoy shows no flaws in Gerasim’s character. Gerasim does not have the qualities that characters usually have in realist works. He is not ordinary. His approach to life and death is not conventional. He is the only character in the book who doesn’t lie about Ivan Ilyich’s condition. He accepts the fact of his master’s illness and does not feel the need to hide it. He is not afraid of death. The following excerpt from chapter 11 shows that Gerasim inspires Ivan Ilyich to reflect on his past life and to eventually acknowledge that he had based his life on superficial values: His mental sufferings were due to the fact that that night, as he looked at Gerasim's sleepy, good-natured face with its prominent cheek-bones, the question suddenly occurred to him: "What if my whole life has been wrong?

Explanation: The explanation is above.
