Select the hyperbole in the passage. TRUE!-nervous-very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I

am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses-not destroyed-not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily-how calmly I can tell you the whole story. From Edgar Allan Poe, The Tell-Tale Heart​

Based on the essay, compare the dreams of the author and her mother. Support your answer with relevant and specific details from
Orlov [11]

Answer:

In the essay, Judith Ortiz Cofer presents the same yet different dreams of the mother-daughter duo. While both seemed to wish for the same wish of the ability of flight, their objectives behind the wish are not that similar.

Explanation:

In Judith Ortiz Cofer's essay <em>"Volar"</em>, she mentioned in the first paragraph her own dreams of having superpowers, like her hero Supergirl. Then, she would <em>"would get on tip-toe, arms outstretched in the position for flight and jump out my fifty-story-high window into the black lake of the sky [....] and look inside the homes of people who interested me</em>". She believed herself to be the same as the fictional superhero, but waking up to the same <em>"tiny bedroom [....] back in my body: my tight curls still clinging to my head, skinny arms and legs . . . unchanged"</em>.

The second paragraph focuses on the parents who would have their "<em>time</em>" before she was woken up by her mother <em>"exactly forty-five minutes after they had gotten up"</em>. The mother wishes to visit her relatives, her <em>"familia on the Island"</em> or go to the beach and have a vacation. And in a loving manner, these propositions will be brought down by her husband. And right before she went to wake up her daughter, she;'d say <em>"Ay, si yo pudiera volar"</em> which is basically meant to say she wish she could fly.

In a way, both the mother and the daughter seem to have the same desire of flight as their wish, though they may also differ in their objective. The mother's wish was to be able to get to her "<em>familia</em>" while the young daughter’s wish was to escape from her reality and be a superhero like her idol Supergirl.

Snowcat [4.5K]

I'm not quite sure why this is categorized under English, but I'll still help you. :)

When you're accustomed to a place, you've practically memorized every step you must take and don't even think about how to get there, places around the area, or back home from there. Even following a route you may not have necessarily explored before is simpler because you're familiar with the rest of the area. This is a psychological trick known as latent learning.

It's quite fascinating, and many of us take our subconscious mind for granted. Basically, you store useless information into the back of your mind that will be useful later on. You may not use it until that moment, but it is there.
