Answer:

B

Explanation:

In any essay, the thesis statement establishes the purpose of the essay for the reader. A good thesis fits the assignment length, makes a statement about your overall point and includes the specific points you will give to support that idea about the story. The thesis must relate to a specific point about the short story such as the argumentative point you want to explain or defend. Place the thesis at the end of the introductory paragraph of the analysis.

The thesis for a literary analysis will determine the organization you will use in the body of the paper. Consider comparing or contrasting characters or situations, explaining a causal relationship between events in the plot, relating how a character fulfills a certain role or discussing how elements, such as the setting, illustrate the theme. Write your thesis with language like "differences," "similar," "cause," "effects" and the element or elements you will cover such as "theme," "character" and "setting."

Volgvan

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Some people "might be apt to" criticize the practice.

Explanation:

An understatement is a tool used by a speaker to make <u>a situation less important. </u>

In this case, the speaker shows how people were against <em>“females to become breeders”</em>. In a simpler way, they opposed the simple fact that women have children, coming to compare this act as an animal act.

Why did the narrator's community doubt that
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer and Explanation:

In the short story "Marigolds", by Eugenia Collier, the narrator lives in a poor black community. The story takes place during the Great Depression that devastated the United States in the 1930's. <u>Even though there were people who said "prosperity... was 'just around the corner,'" the narrator and her community knew better than to believe those words. They had always been poor. Their hard work never paid off. Those words, according to the narrator, "were white folks’  words." Maybe prosperity would return to white people soon, but the narrator's community had never seen or had it; the American Dream never came true for them. How can they believe those words if the people who say such words are the ones who exploit their work?</u>

Thesauruses list words that have the same, or nearly the same, meanings.
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: True.

Explanation:

Thesauruses are books that list different words with the same meaning (synonyms) or similar meaning.  The words are usually listed in alphabetical order. Thesauruses differ from dictionaries in that they simply group words, without providing word definitions. A dictionary, on the other hand, usually provides a detailed definition of a word.
