Once you have decided on a research question
“Let’s go to my house.”
“Your house?”
“Yeah. You can meet my mom.”
“What about your dad?”
“Oh, he has to work late tonight. Sorry.”
“Don’t apologize, it’s fine! I’m sure I’ll meet him another time. Oh, don’t do your nervous thing! There will be plenty of opportunities for me to meet him later.”
“My ‘nervous thing’?”
“You know. Where you pinch your eyebrows together tilt your head over your shoulder.”
“Well, you’re a perceptive one...”
“Come on, don’t look at me like that! I notice things about a lot of different people.”
“Alright, Detective Beautiful, we should probably start heading to my house now. It’s not far, just about a ten-minute walk.”
“Hey, is that your dad in that picture on the mantle? The one in the navy frame?”
“Yeah, from when he was on a business trip in Seattle. You’re from there, right?”
“Uh, yeah, but the thing is...”
“What is it? Are you alright?”
“Uh, yeah, yeah, I’m fine, but the thing is...the thing is that I have...have the same picture, the same frame...at my house. On my mantle. Actually, I...I took the picture.”
The answers are construction and mining. Mining and construction both involve things where there's a lot of dust and this can cause respiratory issues because prolonged exposure clogs and ruins your lungs and can cause cancer. Mining and usage of fossil fuels like coal also destroys the air with carbon monoxide which also ruins the atmosphere and harms respiratory organs.
As much as Sammy seems to disapprove of them, he knows the rules in the A&P. After describing at length how much skin Queenie is showing above the top of her bathing suit and how white her naked shoulders are, he finally describes her hair, face, and how she holds her head. Her hair is in a bun, which, although "unravelling," is still a more conservative hairstyle. Her face, he says, is "kind of prim." Thus, Queenie's hairstyle and expression look proper. She also "held her head so high her neck ... looked kind of stretched, " which suggests to him she is elegant and self-contained, and which only enhances her beauty to Sammy. Since the rest of her is at odds with A&P propriety, Queenie's proper hairstyle,"prim face," and confident posture may act as a shield against the shocked looks of other customers. The contrast also suggests that looking at Queenie as either proper or improper may be simplistic, when he has never seen her before she entered the store.
Just read a textbook....or the Bible. All talks about Caesar.
