Chapter 22

In January 1989 the last of the Soviets leave the city and everyone watches them go. Laila is standing with her family when Tariq shows up in a huge Russian fur hat. Laila tells him he looks ridiculous. Laila is glad he can feel a little happiness, because ever since his uncle died the fall before and his father had a heart attack, he has been morose. Hasina, Tariq, and Laila eat together in the city that day. When Laila and Tariq go home with Babi and Mammy, a man on the bus says that the new leader, Mohammad Najibullah (1947–96), is a puppet president, not a real Muslim leader. Mammy prays on the bus. That night, Laila and Tariq go to see a movie. It is a Soviet film badly dubbed in Farsi, and they laugh at the stiff sentences that have nothing to do with what is really happening. The woman in the film, named Alyona, is in a love scene, kissing a man, and Tariq says he never wants to get married. Laila thinks about kissing Tariq and what it would be like. Tariq makes a snot joke to relieve the tension, but it is clear that he and Laila are a little uncomfortable after having watched a love scene together.

Chapter 23

In April 1992 Tariq's father, having had three strokes, is weak and unhealthy. Hasina has been married off to the man she feared her parents would force on her, and they have headed for Germany. The Soviet Union is falling apart, and the country of Russia emerges. Najibullah, who had been the puppet president in Afghanistan, claims to be an observant Muslim, but it is too little, too late. He ends up surrendering, and the Mujahideen finally come to Kabul. Mammy knows all of their names and all of the factions they run, but her hero is always Massoud. Mammy finally gets out of bed, opens her curtains, and goes back to her kitchen, rearranging it back to the way she likes it. She decides she will have a party and invites everyone she knows.

Alika [10]

Answer:

C) The author tells about seeing Russell as a grown-up and accepting him as is. That is the detail that best explains how the author develops the theme over the course of the text. In ¨About Russell¨ the author starts describing how his brother used to be as they were children and continues describing how he gradually changed as they grew up. She had a vision for what her brother would become which was different from what he actually became. But by the end of the text she states that a ¨A grown man, Russell simply will not do what he doesn’t want to¨. That indicated that he could not be forced to change and therefore she accepted him as he was indicated by the statement ¨...my family simply accepts him as is¨

That's for part A

And part B is D I guess

I need help with identifying direct and indirect objects
Jet001 [13]

Example 1: Dennis and Susan ate omelets for breakfast.

The subject is “Dennis and Susan,” and the verb is “ate.” Next ask yourself the question “who or what?” about the verb “ate.” What did the subject, Dennis and Susan, eat? They ate omelets. Therefore, the direct object is “omelets.”

Consider the following example to find the direct object that follows a clause or phrase:

Example 2: Sophia hates when her father lectures her about her grades.

The subject is “Sophia,” and the verb is “hates.” Next ask yourself the question “who or what?” about the verb “hates.” What does the subject, Sophia, hate? She hates “when her father lectures her about her grades.” This subordinate clause (a combination of words that contain a subject and a verb, but do not form a complete sentence) is the direct object of the sentence.
