Answer:
What exactly do you need?
I'd say that the aspect of culture that this excerpt from "What For" by Garrett Hongo celebrates is A. holidays.
It is customary in some countries to spend holidays with family talking about past times, and reminiscing.
I was sixteen years old, it was my birthday when father took me and my sibling a science world museum in Vancouver in Canada. It was my first visit there and as the name suggest, I was wondering it will be boring and educational type museum only. As we reached there, I entered the museum after paying ticket. I was not really excited as I though it will be waste of my day.
When I went inside the museum, I was completely surprise to see there physics, biology and chemistry all together in a completely different manner. There were few structures which demonstrated how human body function, there were some mechanical machines created with wood which complemented physics.
When I went further into a large lounge there was a huge piano which a person can play by walking on the keys. It was so much fun playing music along with dance. There was lift yourself activity, which is just like a manual jumpin ride, in which you pull yourself up through a rope attached to a pulley.
When It was 6 in the evening my father asked us to go back to home but I suddenly asked him When we will be here again? This place is so much fun. I had no idea my birthday will be so much wonderful after visiting this place. This was fun along with learning. One of the most memorable day of my entire life.
Answer:
The symbol of commuters as birds illustrates how they come and go without ever experiencing the city.
Explanation:
They go from city to suburb, from the air to it's roost, one could say, but never get to experience what the city has to offer. They don't have the freedom to come and go, because they go there to work. Meaning, having to fulfill some economic needs, responsabilities, etc. They don't go because they feel like going.
They do offer something positive though because, again, they go there to work. A city -a society- needs its body of workers. It needs people to work, doesen't matter if it's from a suburb or not.
The symbolism of the suburbs as a "roost" expresses the safety and comfort of the commuter’s home is wrong because he says:
"The suburb he inhabits has no essential vitality of its own". It is pictured as something sad, empty.
The answer is D) Outlining accident.
