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.

TEA [102]

Foreshadowing is when an author uses symbolism, an event, a small detail, or even a part of dialogue to be a warning or indication of a future event. An author might use this because they want to give the reader knowledge about a future event or to tease them.

kakasveta [241]
The answer is letter B.
<span>
The simple predicate in the sentence is the verb finished. Finished is the action word that directly describes what the subject is doing in the sentence. Simple predicates by definition are the main verbs in the sentence that tells what the subject does. Time, game, and men are nouns in the subject that give the predicate its sense or meaning.</span>
