What can you infer from the message on the back of the photograph? What evidence supports your understanding?

Marina86 [1]2 years ago

Answer:

We can infer that they had a close and informal message and that they care deeply for Martha, wanting to support her and continue their life together. This is evident from the way the poem on the back of the photo is written (using slang and mentions of love), as well as from the content of the message which mentions love, care, and togetherness. We also know that it is a gift for New Year, as the poem mentions the new 2002. year.

Explanation:

When reading the story <em>Martha, Martha</em> by Zadie Smith, the scene of Martha looking at the photograph and reading the poem on the back is one of the central ones. From this message on the back we can conclude that it is from someone Martha loves very much, and who loves her back. It can likely be her past boyfriend or husband, with their (or only his) son, giving this photo as a gift for New Year. <u>The person is promising to love and care for Martha, to be together with her, and asking her not to give up them as a pair. </u>We can conclude this because they write <u>“I am going to be there for U”, “I love U / And I’m trying 2 tell U true”, “Together we will get so much higher” and “Don’t give up on what we’ve got”.</u>

<u>Just the fact that he has given such a sweet and personal gift of funny photo and poem is evidence of closeness, care, and love for Martha</u>. We can also conclude that they have had an informal relationship from the <u>way the poem was written</u> – using loads of slang and shorter versions of words, such as U and 2.

From Martha’s devastated reaction and tears, we can conclude something did not work out, and that she has left Ben and Jamal or they have left her. Either way, they are not in her life anymore, and she is suffering a lot because of it. <u>She is still bounded by their memory and clinging onto it, which is evident from the way she hides and looks at the photo at the moments of doubt and hardship.</u>

1 minute speech on the topic 'travel and tourism'
andriy [413]
Good morning, Respected Principle sir/ma'am, vice-principle sir/ma'am, teachers and my dear brothers and sisters welcome! I am Sakshi and I have been permitted to speak on 'Travel and tourism'. Today everybody likes going abroad. We can choose travel or tourism. Travel is a good way of learning about the world, it teaches us many interesting things about cultures of different nationalities. We also travel to find a well-paid job or meet our family living in another country. Tourism is the best choice for a person who wants to relax or do some sightseeing. Of course our choice also depends on money, weather and our personality – it’s evident that the person who leads an active life will never go to the seaside... When we are sure we want to go on holiday, the next step is to decide what’s the best option for us. The person who wants to have everything organised by a travel agency will choose a package holiday. But it deprives us of fun which we have when we choose, for example, a tour. The fact is that moving from place to place is really fascinating. We can find something for sea-lovers too. For people like that the best will be a cruise or a voyage, but I think it could be a little boring to see only water all around us for a long time... The fastest and the most comfortable is travelling by plane but, on the other hand, it's at the same time the most expensive. Buses and trains are much cheaper, but they are not as comfortable as planes and the journey is longer too. So the best is to travel by car. It’s a fast and convenient mean of transport and it’s not so expensive. Moreover, we feel independent because we decide about everything, for example when to stop for a while. Although holidays are usually the most pleasant part of a year, they can cause some problems. The most serious one is loosing something. We should have an embassay phone number to announce that we’ve lost our passport or tickets. Another problem could be a travel sickness. To avoid it, we should take a travel sickness pill. However it’s also significant to point some negative aspects of tourism. For example, in the place which is willingly visited by tourists, standards of people’s life are changing and the prices are rising. This place is becoming more polluted too. As we can see, tourism is not always good for our environment. At the end I want to say that travelling and tourism, in spite of all disadvantages, are becoming more popular because they are the best forms of spending our free time.

In which excerpt from Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad is Tubman using ethos?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Ethos is a literary element used to establish some form of credibility, morals or ethics. It is used when trying to make someone believe in your character or a piece of information as proper. In this excerpt from Harriet Tubman's: Conductor on the Underground Railroad, "As they walked along she told them stories of her own first flight, she kept painting vivid word pictures of what it would be like to be free". The first sentence indicates the use of ethos by Tubman: "As they walked along she told them stories of her own first flight". And this is because she tries to tell them about the efforts she made to run away for them to trust her abilities.

Little Brother ,explain Marcus’ current stage of identity development. Use examples from the text. After a heated classroom disc
Bond [772]

Marcus’ current stage of identify development may be classified as identity diffusion. He has yet to choose a choice to be against them yet. He doesn’t agree with their actions and he doesn’t affirm to either side of the issue at hand.

Though, I would say Moratorium if he is “presently” in a crisis regarding a certain decision. However, I’m not sure how he’s trying different alternatives from this point onwards.
