Answer:

The comparison Angelou is making with the metaphors of bed as cooling board and blanket as winding sheet is burial preparations for after death

Explanation:

During the picking season, my grandmother would get out of bed at four o'clock and creak down to her knees and chant in a sleep-filled voice, "our father, you for letting me see this new day. you that you didn't allow the bed I lay on last night to be my cooling board, nor my blanket my winding-sheet." in this excerpt use context clues to identify what comparison Angelou is making with the metaphors of bed as cooling board and blanket as winding-sheet.

* bed linens at a resort

* a rack for hot food and a dish towel

* burial preparations for after death

* ironing equipment

These lines describe how the character's grandmother is grateful to good to be alive one more day, and she prays to him after having open her eyes another morning, the words cooling board and winding-sheet refer to the place where the body would rest after death, being the body and the coffin a cold since there is no life in there anymore, and the winding-sheet is the one that it is used to wrapped corpses to burial.

MrRa [10]

A good book review will:

  • Point out strengths and weaknesses in the book
  • Looks at what the author intended to do and whether or not he did it
  • Be between 50 and 1,500 words

The following is a guide to writing a book review; but, you need to know that they are just suggestions to think about.

  • Write down a summary of essential information, like title, author, copyright date, kind of book, price, subject matter of the book, and special features.
  • State the reason the author wrote the book.
  • Consider from what point of view the book was written.
  • Decide what the author was trying to accomplish.
  • Determine what kind of book is it, and who is the intended audience.
  • Discuss the author's style of writing and look at his cohesion, clarity, flow of the text, and use of precise words.
  • Think about how you were affected by the book and if any of your opinions or feelings change because of it.
  • Decide if the book met its goal and whether or not you would recommend it to others and why.
  • State the main topic of the book and the author's treatment of it. Also explain the development of the thesis, using quotes or references.
  • Discuss the author's descriptions and narration, pointing out whether he explained facts or tried to persuade the readers of the validity of an issue.
  • Analyze whether or not the book suited its intended audience and if it was interesting and thorough.
  • You may challenge his opinions and explain why you disagree with them. Include any information about the author that would establish his authority or that would be relevant to the review.

First the question must be asked are we building on an empty lot or are we replacing an old building if it's the latter we must

Answer:

In this sentence, "latter" means "replacing an old building."

Explanation:

<u>When we use "latter", it refers to the last of two elements previously mentioned. It is a way of referring to that element without the need to repeat it.</u> When we need to refer to both the elements separately, we use the words "former" and "latter", "former" referring to the first element. Take a look at the example:

Charlie and Jesse were not convinced, but for different reasons. While the former (Charlie) thought their mother was lying, the latter (Jesse) thought she did not know the truth herself.

<u>In the sentence we are analyzing here, the two elements mentioned are: "are we building on an empty lot or are we replacing an old building?" Then the sentence continues with, "if it's the latter." Therefore, latter refers to the second element, "are we replacing an old building." If we are replacing an old building - says the speaker -, we must face the decision of...</u>
