Answer:

The narrator thinks that the white umbrella would represent something unnecessary, superfluous.

Explanation:

The narrator knows that her mother does not encourage unnecessary expenses, even if this expense fulfills some of her daughter's wishes and makes her happy. The narrator's mother does not admire American habits in relation to consumerism, the undisciplined taste in money and believes that a white umbrella would be an unnecessary expense, since her daughter already had a raincoat.

1. Read the following passage from "The Happy Man."
Alecsey [184]
1. The answer is A.<span> Hyperbole

Hyperbole is a stylistic element in prose and poetry that involves the use of exaggerated claims that are not literal in meaning. Hyperbole is useful in creating a dramatic effect when the writer is trying to explain a phenomenon or feeling to the reader. For instance, in the passage above the sentence, "</span><span>His heart was overflowing with love for people, animals, and things and with an all-engulfing sense of optimism and joy" involves the use of exaggeration and non-literal claims to paint a picture of a "happy man" to the reader. 

2. The correct answer is </span><span>B. Symbols generally have only one meaning.

Literary symbols such as figures of speech, metaphors, alliteration, etc., enhance the meaning of a text, adding a dramatic effect when discussing characters, objects and situations. They do not have only one meaning. While literary symbols usually have a primary intended meaning for the reader, they have multiple meanings subject to the reader's interpretations of the text. </span><span>

Can characters act as symbols in a novel? What about events? Settings? Identify an element in The Outsiders that is not an objec
lidiya [134]

Answer:

In The Outsiders, sunrise and sunset are symbols of unity and connection. For example, when Ponyboy connects with Cherry at the movies on the topic of sunsets, he begins to realize that all humans are linked through the natural world.

Finally, the book ends using the exact words that it began with. This is a symbol of the journey that Ponyboy has been on. It shows that he was able to work through all of the destruction that occurred throughout the story. It provides symmetry in the novel as well.
