Summary for From the Invention of Everything Else

English

Answer:

:'(  Why did you leave my fantasy story......

Explanation:

In Hunt’s (The Seas ) overstuffed and uneven novel set in New York, circa 1943, an aging Nikola Tesla lives at the Hotel New Yorker and cares for (and chats with) pigeons while planning what could be his boldest invention yet. He forges an unlikely friendship with Louisa Dewell, a 24-year-old chambermaid at the hotel who also keeps a pigeon coop. The book alternates between Niko’s reminisces of turn-of-the century Manhattan and Louisa’s current domestic dramas; Niko revisits old grievances concerning the usurpation or dismissal of his many inventions, and Louisa gets ensnared in her zany father’s mission to travel back in time and reconnect with his dead wife via a time machine built by his lifelong friend Azor Carter. Assisting in the scheme is Louisa’s mysterious beau, Arthur Vaughn, who may or may not be from the future. Although many events are drawn from Tesla’s life, he and his peers, including Thomas Edison and John Muir, are cartoonish. Likewise, the city backdrop is drenched in rosy nostalgia (even Hell’s Kitchen is a quaint neighborhood). Each individual plot thread has potential, but the cumulative effect is dulled by an unwieldy structure.

Which of the following sentences show the word “choose” in the present perfect, passive tense?
olga_2 [115]
The answer is the first option, "We have been chosen."

The present perfect tense is characterized by the usage of the words "have [verbed/verben, etc.]." However, since this sentence must also be in the passive voice, we must act accordingly. Instead of "We have chosen," the sentence now reads as "We have <em>been</em> chosen."
Hope I could <em>have been</em> of assistance!(See what I did there?)

Scrat [10]
This is speculation, so please get a second opinion.
I think it's c, because the adults, in this passage, are teaching children how to behave, and therefore a and b are ruled out. d could have possibly been one, but I think that it would not be, because the adults are not explicitly setting clear examples for their children.
Again, you should get a second answer before you answer this.

Why does Juan censor his own letter "without regret"? How is his final action as a censor an example of irony, or a seeming cont
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer and Explanation:

1. He censors his own letter because he has been immensely involved in the censor's work, going so far as to override his own wishes, so that the government's wishes are fulfilled.

2. This is an example of irony and contradiction, because Juan decided to accept the job as a censor, to prevent the letters he sends from being censored, but he ends up doing exactly the opposite.

3. This reinforces the idea that the political situation in Argentina was very oppressive and authoritarian, going so far as to change the thinking of citizens who, instead of fighting it, were completely manipulated, to the point of helping.
