This story is about Jerome and Bix, they are two students, the first one is an Afro- American and the second one is a white boy. ¨The Moves Make The Man¨¨ is a sports novel, written by Bruce Brooks. This story deals with many topics such as racism, cruelty, violence, poverty, mental problems, motivation, the deception and truth, its consequences, the psychology of adolescents, society and, in part, religion. The exposition is a part of the story, which precedes the beginning of the plot, gives background information and sometimes prior events. The right answer is B), because Jerome wants to write a book about his disappeared friend Bix. He emphasizes, that he is the only one who can write this story and it`s going to be truthful. Jerome also states, that he doesn`t understand everything, but the whole summary is in his head. He also mentions his point of view on the society and moral values of ¨white churches¨, that he believes are not so good as his, he belongs to. Jerome tells us how he took Bix`s notebook, because his friend let him do it. From one side it was a theft, but Jerome denied that. Bix wanted him to take it and didn`t want his step-father had it. Jerome thought that his step-father would have burnt it and Jerome didn`t think that he had been a thief. The text is full of sorrow and it shows that Jerome loved his friend, he missed him and he wanted to show everyone that Bix wasn`t as bad as society thought. He had disappeared, but Jerome wanted to tell the whole truth of his life in order to show why he did it. There is some information about sports, the source of this information hides in Bix`s notebook, but the answer A) doesn`t fit, and answer C) neither, because Jerome doesn`t mention any social media, which could have caused a problem. Jerome is writing a book, but we don`t know how he is going to use this information. He is seeking the truth and perhaps he is going to publish it, but this question is left unanswered for the readers.
The correct answer is C. They place great importance on property ownership
Explanation:
The purpose of the captain and the company was to buy or own the island; this idea is expressed in "its mission to purchase from the natives a base from which to conduct company trade." This shows the captain and its people believed owning the island was important, as well as, using the resources and location of this for trade.
According to this, it can be concluded the captain and the company place great importance on property ownership. Moreover, this belief contrasts the ones of the natives in the excerpt because they accept that the company and the captain establish on the island but do not understand the company is now the owner of the island.
