Answer:

The words, "...my father..." is the nonrestrictive element in this sentence.

Explanation:

<em>A nonrestrictive element describes a word's meaning that is already clarified without the use of additional words. </em><em>It is not crucial to the</em><em> meaning of the </em><em>sentence</em><em> and is usually surrounded by commas.</em>

The sentence you provided (it needs commas after "Jim" and before the word "is.": "Jim, my father, is going to drive me to the mall."

We can just say, "Jim is going to drive me to the mall," and it will still make sense. Therefore, we would not need the words (they are nonrestrictive), "...my father..." because it is an unnecessary addition of words that one does not need in the sentence for it to make sense.

I hope this helps you understand! Have a nice day.

Why did the narrator's community doubt that
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer and Explanation:

In the short story "Marigolds", by Eugenia Collier, the narrator lives in a poor black community. The story takes place during the Great Depression that devastated the United States in the 1930's. <u>Even though there were people who said "prosperity... was 'just around the corner,'" the narrator and her community knew better than to believe those words. They had always been poor. Their hard work never paid off. Those words, according to the narrator, "were white folks’  words." Maybe prosperity would return to white people soon, but the narrator's community had never seen or had it; the American Dream never came true for them. How can they believe those words if the people who say such words are the ones who exploit their work?</u>
