Read the excerpt from "Black Day, 1935." Then Pop turned to Hans. "The good news is: I stopped at the Grange this morning and pu

t in your tree order. It looks like this farm is not going down without a fight." Hans grinned, standing up a little straighter. He couldn't help himself and crossed the kitchen floor to give his dad a bear hug the way he did when he was little. "No, Pop, it's not," was all that he could say as his tears tracked through the dust. How does the excerpt develop the theme of perseverance in the story?

Answer:

This question is incomplete and needs the answer options which can be found in other Brainly questions. The options are:

The author uses the purchase of the trees to show that the family is determined to give up the farm.

The author uses the purchase of the trees to show that the family is determined to join the friends who have already left.

The author uses the purchase of the farm to show that the family is determined to wait until the dust storm passes.

The author uses the purchase of the trees to show that this family is determined to save the farm

The correct answer option for this question would be: The author uses the purchase of the trees to show that the family is determined to give up the farm.

Explanation:

Although it is not possible to find the full story for the excerpt it is possible to say that this story is entrenched in the historical event known as the Black Blizzard, or Black Sunday storm which covered most of the panhandle of the US and Canada during April 14, 1935. This storm, like many that happened throughout the 30´s caused devastation for farmers and ranchers.

In this story, and from the pieces of the excerpt that can be seen, it can be understood that when Hans reaches Pop, and hugs him, and says what he says, he is showing perseverance by hinting that despite the difficulties and dangerous times, things will prevail, and life will go on. The purchase of the trees, the way in which the author writes those lines, communicates that decisiveness from the characters to continue with life even if the farm is lost.

Write a letter to your friend describing about your village?<br><br>​
ANTONII [103]

<em>Hi there my friend! A happy and prosperous new year to you and your family. I hope my letter comes to you in great timing and shape. I wrote to you to give you an idea about the village where I live. Who knows? Maybe one day you would want to visit here. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>The weather here is tropical. We only have two seasons: rainy days and summer days. Since it is January now, the weather is transitioning from cold to warm. Summer days will start on March. Aside from the weather, the village I lived in is busy as it is located in the city. The roads going to our home is always jam packed with different types of cars and vehicles. You can expect heavy traffic all the time. But then, all progressive cities have that don't they? In spite of heavy traffic, our village has numbers of malls. You can walk for about 5 to 10 minutes from our home, and you can reach a mall called SM. It has almost everything. Groceries, hardware, food courts and famous food stores. Across SM is another mall called Vista Mall which has cinemas and massage shops. There are also small hospitals nearby but to be able to go there, you can book a cab via Uber or Grab because it is no walking distance. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Beside SM, we have marketplace. If you are interested in preparing your own meals, you can shop there for fresh goods. We also have 7 eleven shops and sports bar nearby.  </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Our village is composed of houses which are bungalow styles. It is made up of concrete and wood materials. People there are friendly and they almost knew each other. Everybody will greet you with huge smile on their faces every morning. They are also helpful in times of calamities and problems. When it comes to security, our village gate is guarded with armed security guards who never leave their post to monitor every one coming in and out of the village. There are also CCTV cameras on the streets to ensure the safety of all people living there. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>I hope I have described my village to you. In your next letter, can you describe me yours? </em>

<em> </em>

<em>I am looking forward to hear from you.  </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Best regards, </em>

<em>HENRY</em>

The sensory details in this excerpt help the reader understand how cold and harsh the weather is. How long food rations can last
kolezko [41]

Hello. This question is incompetent. The full question is:

A poor substitute for food was this hide, just as it had been stripped from the starved horses of the cattlemen six months back. In its frozen state it was more like strips of galvanized iron, and when a dog wrestled it into his stomach it thawed into thin and innutritious leathery strings and into a mass of short hair, irritating and indigestible.

The sensory details in this excerpt help the reader understand how cold and harsh the weather is. How long food rations can last on the trail. How desperate the dogs are to eat. How poorly treated the horses are.

Answer:

How desperate the dogs are to eat.

Explanation:

The text manages to promote sensory details that show how the dogs were so hungry that they were content to eat anything that could satisfy the overwhelming and desperate hunger they felt. The hunger was so great that the dogs were able to eat extremely hard, frozen, tasteless and nutrient-free strips of leather, because that was more comfortable than the hunger they felt.
