What is the main idea for the story "the writing on the wall" by camille dungy

English
1 answer:
Vsevolod [243]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

“The air on the is by turns foggy and cool and salty and warm. There are moss roses and fragrant stands of eucalyptus. You might call it beautiful, but you are a detainee, not a vacationer, and you are very far from any place that you could call home.” This quote from the story, The Writing on the Wall, helps develop the central idea of the story by explaining how the outside of America seemed inviting and perfect but on the inside, it is crucial and lonely. Immigrants were “detainees” and it would be a hard adjustment. I can see how immigrants would turn to poetry to release their emotions.

Looks Good. I Would Check Your Punctuation And Spelling Once More. I Would Also Include What You Like About Their Food/Company, Because They Won't Hire You If All You Talk About Is How Their Food Sucks, And Why They Should Hire You, Because They Won't Want To Hire Someone Who Always Criticizes Their Product. Include Some Good, And Some Bad. other Than That, Looks Really Good! Great Job!

The Knights of the Round Table express their solidarity by wearing a green girdle as Gawain does. Why does Gawain wear the green
Serjik [45]
Gawain wears the green girdle as a token of his failure for not keeping his promise. He was supposed to give the host that he would give him whatever he gained that day, but he didn't give him the green girdle for fear that he would die. After being called out because of that, Gawain swears to wear the green sash for the rest of his life, and the Knights of the Round Table start wearing it as well after absolving him of blame.

Which statement in this excerpt from Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby shows that the author learned to have high expectations in life
Verizon [17]
<span>As for me, the third option C)I have always been accused of taking the things I love - football, of course, but also books and records - much too seriously, and I do feel a kind of anger when I hear a bad record, or when someone is lukewarm about a book that means a lot to me.) looks the most suitable and directly shows that the author learned to have high expectations in life only after he went to a
football game. And I suppose <span>A)I'd been to public entertainments before, of course; I'd been to the cinema and the pantomime and to see my mother sing in the chorus of the White Horse Inn at the Town Hall.</span></span>
