We had lunch: sandwiches, potato chips, and iced tea. Carolyn and her mother talked mostly about neighbors and the congregation

at the Japanese Methodist Church in West Fresno. Her father, who was in khaki work clothes, excused himself with a wave that was almost a salute and went outside. I heard a truck start, a dog bark, and the truck rattle away.
How does Soto build a central idea of his story in the excerpt?
By showing how Carolyn’s family lives in a way that is strange to him, Soto supports the idea that culture causes conflict between people.
By showing how Carolyn’s family lives in a way that is boring to him, Soto supports the idea that people from different cultures do not share interests.
By showing how Carolyn’s family lives in a way that is familiar to him, Soto supports the idea that people from different cultures can also share a culture.
By showing how Carolyn’s family lives in a way that is similar to him, Soto supports the idea that there are very few differences among cultures.

<span>By showing how Carolyn’s family lives in a way that is similar to him, Soto supports the idea that there are very few differences among cultures.

I believe this is correct, because there are many descriptive words in the passage. If Soto would have left these words out the reader would not know where the story takes place.

Why do you suppose none of the prisoners harbor any thoughts of<br> revenge after their liberation?
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Desire for revenge was not one of the emotions he felt, or at least not immediately. Consider all of the energy and emotion Eliezer had expended simply to survive, just to get to that point at the end where liberation was even possible. It may well be that he simply wasn't capable of rage or revenge at that point.

kow [346]
Michelle affected Ekran because she made him feel safe in the place he was in.<span> She would do this my not being so afraid of Ekran like she was, she would “analyze” his patterns and just play along with his games and his stories. When Michelle started this job, she was so scared of some of the patients including Ekran.

</span>

<span>But as she worked she realized they kind of are having the same experience while they are at the center, she was mistrusted just like he was so she got to know him more. As she got used to him he started to feel safe with her and he started trusting her. In the beginning of the story he was told to take a shower but he didn’t want to until Michelle came along and because he trusted her he did what she asked. Ekran had many things that he said but nobody wanted to play along because they didn’t care, but Michelle did. Ekran would talk most about his guitar and would say “he sold my guitar” and instead of not caring she would say, “Yes he did, but he did it because he cared about you, that’s why he did it.”  </span>
