Answer: Tense

Foreshadowing refers to the author giving the reader a hint of what is to come later in the story. This literary device helps build expectations, but also excitement or worry.

In this case, the author gives us a hint that something is indeed wrong with them having to leave so hastily. She also says that they were not aware they were not going to see their house for another decade. These statements are an example of foreshadowing, and they give the poem a tense tone.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The letter would be this one.

Dear...

Senior Editor.

Local News

Present

Dear Sir,

What we are witnessing is intolerable.

Racism is a virus that is "eating or society." How much longer are we need to tolerate these incidents to do some big that put a stop on these sad events?

Respectfully, I invite your news company to fully commit to the promotion of a social campaign that shares or voices and makes people think about the issue of race.

Consider the following.

-Support black and minority organizations. It could be money, it could be voluntary time to spread the peace message.

-Do not spread lies or partial truths. Research alternative versions of reality.

-Include the voice of minority leaders. They experience on the issue of racism.

-Be independent and never accept the pressure of supremacists or extremist groups.

If you include all the voices with objectivity, people will have the capacity to construct their own conclusions.

Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Meera.

Reread what the goldfish tells Sergei in paragraph 22. What lesson is this archetypal wise character trying to convey? How does
ra1l [238]

Answer:

In paragraph 22, the goldfish shows a lesson on how human beings close their eyes to simple messages by interpreting them as they suit and as they really are. This reveals one of the themes in history, which is that our actions have a price and why we must think before acting.

Explanation:

Paragraph 22 of  “What, of this Goldfish, Would You Wish?” presents the following lines: “He said,” says the fish, interrupting, “exactly what he was doing. But you didn’t get it. Honestly, your Hebrew, it’s terrible.”

These lines are spoken after Sergei accidentally kills Yonatan. This was because Sergei thought Yonatan wanted to catch the magic fish.

Yonatan had said what he wanted to do, which was not to catch the fish, but Sergei didn't understand Yonatan well and ended up interpreting the whole situation in a completely wrong way, hitting Yonatan hard on the head.

Paragraph 22 shows the fish saying that Sergei interpreted everything wrong and acted impulsively. With this, he shows us how we must understand the whole situation before acting, as our actions can have destructive results.
