Answer:

I believe that everyone could make a huge difference to our country if we all have a goal to change the way things are. I think that if i personally was more accepting of everyone in our country, that it would make a difference. Being able to accept everyone for the way will improve our country greatly. We need to be united in america, and in the past we havent been. It has been a goal of our country forever that our citizens are united as one, and obviously we are not. If our society was generally more accepting, we would improve our country in many ways. Being able to work together towards the same goal of being the best country would be a great way to start change in our country.

In at least 100 words, explain the author’s use of foreshadowing in Nadine Gordimer’s “Once Upon a Time.”
lisabon 2012 [21]
Nadine Gordimer weaves many examples of foreshadowing into "Once Upon a Time." The frame story introduces the concept of fear.

As the bedtime story begins, readers learn the family is "living happily ever after." Since such wording usually describes the end, not the beginning, of a story, readers know the happiness cannot last, or there would not be any story at all. The reference to the parents' fencing the swimming pool so the boy won't "fall in and drown" foreshadows the boy's death in his own yard. The early appearance of a "wise old witch" also portends some sort of evil curse or ill fortune. When the second paragraph of the bedtime story explains "it was not possible to insure the house. . . against riot damage," readers suspect such an event may occur. This foreshadowed event never happens; instead, it is the desire to "insure against. . . damage" that becomes the destructive force in the family's life.

The cat that keeps setting off the alarm acts as a bad omen as well. Cats and witches often portend evil, and in this case, the fact that the cat can scale the wall and get through the bars predicts that the home is not yet fully secure. The installation of the "Dragon's Teeth" fencing that makes their home look like a concentration camp, and the wife's first contradiction ("You're wrong") give a feeling of foreboding as the end of the story nears. Now the cat sleeps on the bed, yet the husband's calm assurance that "cats always look before they leap" makes readers anticipate that the cat is wiser than his human owners, and that they are leaping into danger that they haven't fully considered.

The foreshadowing Gordimer uses helps readers stay engaged with the story as they anticipate a non-traditional ending to this "bedtime story."

As you read the paragraph below, think about what conclusions you can draw based on
kondor19780726 [428]

The correct answer is B. President Truman was under intense pressure from the very beginning of his term of office.

Explanation

The excerpt begins with the subject of President Truman's decision to drop the atomic bomb. However, he later expands on this issue by arguing that after suddenly assuming the presidency after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, he had a lot of pressure, mainly because of the handling that he should have given to the issues related to the postwar period. For this reason, it can be concluded that the main purpose of this fragment about the early years of his presidency is to expose the pressure that Harry Truman had on his shoulders despite having a group of advisers, he had to assume the responsibility of being president, and all the consequences that this would bring him including the decision to use the atomic bomb. So the correct answer is B. President Truman was under intense pressure from the very beginning of his term of office.
