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.

After he was caught lying on the stand, the discredited witness left the courtroom in humiliation. what does discredited mean? h
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

having a damaged reputation

Explanation:

discredited means to lose your respectability.

Using context clues, why would the witness have left the courtroom in humiliation? It can't be because they have good judgment or that they were honorable. That leaves "sorrowful" and "having a damaged reputation." Having a damaged reputation is more tied to humiliation, but if you didn't pick up on that, credited means of respect and the opposite most closely means having a damaged rep.

What is ironic about Jen’s step dad working for the population police? Among the hidden question. Explain with a full paragraph.
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The irony about Jen's step-dad working for the Population police is that he broke the rule of the Population Police of having two children, by having a third child, and yet working for the organization.

Explanation:

'Among the Hidden' is a novel written by Margaret Peterson Haddix. The novel is about a society, where the Population Police has prohibited families for having more than two children.

Jen, just like Luke, is a third child in her family. Jen's mother had two sons before Jen, but she decided to have a girl on purpose, so they bribed the doctor and had Jen as a third child. The irony about Jen's step-dad working for the Population Police is that he broke the rule of having two children by having a third child, yet he is working for the Population Police. He is working for the organization, whose rule he has broken, so this is the irony.

Read the excerpt from The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street.
Alchen [17]

Hey there!

Your answer is "In this brief fraction of a moment they take the first step toward performing a metamorphosis that changes people from a group into a mob."

Foreshadowing is a literary element that writers use to give a sign about a future event that may occur. Therefore, this is the correct answer, because it tells about a future event or gives a sign about.

Have a super awesome day! :)
