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.

Frist logical connection between the two is that Manzanar Internment and the Japanese living in West Coast of USA are both Japanese people forced to live in isolation because American government thought that Japanese had invaded Pearl Harbour and they must be looked upon with suspicion.

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP FOR A CHANCE OF BRAINLIEST. This question is about the book The Odyssey.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Penelope's choice of contest — one that only Odysseus could win — supports the suspicion that she is aware of the beggar/Odysseus's real identity. When the beggar/Odysseus asks for an unofficial chance at the bow, Penelope immediately counters Antinous' objection. Dismissing the idea that the guest would claim her as his bride, she responds that by giving the wandering stranger a shot she is simply being hospitable. Of course, the beggar would not claim her for his bride; Odysseus would not have to.

Which occasion or circumstance leads the speaker to the thoughts in Sonnet VII by John Milton?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Milton is remarking on the successes and failures of his life, looking at how old he has become because he recently turned twenty three. This caused him to reflect on his life and think about his purpose and God's influence on his life path. 

"<span>How soon hath Time the </span>suttle theef<span> of youth,</span>
<span>Stoln on his wing my three and twentieth yeer!"

These opening lines show that he feels time has been 'stolen' from him on the arrival of his 23rd year.
