Answer:

One theme in Flannery O'Connor's "Everything that Rises Must Converge" is:

A. looks can be deceiving.

Explanation:

In the short story "Everything that Rises Must Converge," several themes can be found. Among them, one of the main themes is that looks can be deceiving. The following passage from the story is evidence of that:

"She was one of the few members of the Y reducing class who arrived in hat and gloves and who had a son who had been to college."

The main characters are J.ulian and his mother, and none of them is what they seem to be. J.ulian, for instance, has convinced himself that he is modern, open-minded, and thoughtful; he has also told himself that his mother is his complete opposite - a narrow-minded, prejudiced person. He is angry at her for the importance she places on appearances.

However, as the story unfolds, we realize J.ulian is also prejudiced and narrow-minded when it comes to his mother. And he too cares about what others think of him. His mother, on the other hand, has her flaws and limitations, but is revealed to have a good heart. Their looks and their behaviors are deceiving, not showing their true selves.

Note: Some words starting with j and u are forbidden by Brainly. That is why I had to type J.ulian like this.

Which do you regard as Crevecoeur's most compelling observation in the first paragraph? Why?

puteri [66]

Answer:

The most convincing consideration made by the author is that in America there was freedom, since no individual was responsible for maintaining aristocrats and nobles. Each person was only responsible for himself and worked to enrich himself, something that the English could not do.

Explanation:

Letters from an American Farmer is a series of texts written by J. Hector St. John de Crèvecœur. The texts are written in a letter format where the author reasons about the exploitation of america, american identity, the advantages that america has and even slavery.

The third letter is entitled "what is an American?" where the author replies that to be an American is to have freedom and autonomy. He reinforces this argument by informing that in Europe, people do not have freedom and autonomy, because they are trapped by an aristocracy that they need to maintain. In that case, workers do not work to enrich themselves, but rather their princes. This does not exist in America, where each individual is not responsible for any noble person, but for himself and works for his own success.

Answer:

Here's my best take; from an authors perspective.

Explanation:

"Finally freakin outta class, gosh Sally was looking good today" - I say as im starting my engine.

Finally out of class! Time to go home and play some mothafreaking halo. I was cruising down the street, couldn't get Sally's phattt as..; I mean new earrings out of my head.

"Stoplight up ahead" I think to myself, barely even aware of what I am doing, too busy thinking about Sally's phatttt as..

I stop at the stoplight, its a red. I look to my left, and see a child standing at the base of the traffic pole. He was barely dressed; a new t-shirt with destroyed pants, shoes, and a missing sock. He looked like he hadn't showered in days; in fact, he looks no older than ten years old.

"I did just get paid, I guess I could spare some change." I think to myself.

Feeling generous, hoping Sally is watching somehow. I pull a couple one dollar bills out of my wallet. I hold it out the window, and beckon the boy over. He has to cross a lane of traffic to get me, but all the cars are stopped.

He reaches his hand out to grab the money, he was just a hair away, eyes gleaming with the thoughts of candy and whatever else this ten year old was going to waste my money on. But, just before he could grab the money; this young black man, with dreads and tattoos runs up. He snatches the money out of my hand. It looked like he had a cell phone in his other, he was recording himself. I watch him start to make some distance before I wildly hear him scream

"BOOOOOOONK GANG'

'BOOOONK GANG'

'WHOLE LOTTA GANG POOP,,, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN"

And with a 'BOOOOOOOOONKKKKKKKKKK GANGG" he faded into the sun, money and phone in hand.
