Answer:

★ Paine's purpose is to convince Americans to seek freedom from British rule as soon as possible. He wants people to start fighting for America's independence before it’s too late. He reminds them, "When William the Conqueror subdued England he gave them law at the point of the sword." Paine doesn’t want America to have the same fate that England suffered under the rule of William the Conqueror.

Help me answer these questions from "The Book of Unknown Americans" (I NEED THIS TODAY SO PLEASE BE SERIOUS)
Scrat [10]

Answer:

1: The novel’s protagonist and the matriarch of the Rivera family, Alma is a loving wife and mother who is determined to make the best life possible for her daughter, Maribel.

2: Maribel is in many ways the catalyst for all that happens in the novel—longing to be able to give her a better, more specialized education, Alma and Arturo change their entire lives so that Maribel can attend the Evers School in Newark, Delaware.

3: She misses her bus stop and begins to panic as she realizes she is in an unfamiliar part of town and has just twenty minutes to get home to meet Maribel's bus as she arrives home from school.

4: First published in 1956, this much sought-after autobiographical recollection from Truman Capote (In Cold Blood; Breakfast at Tiffany's) about his rural Alabama boyhood is a perfect gift for Capote's fans young and old.

5: Mayor tries to exit the situation, but Garrett grabs his arm and asks him increasingly explicit questions about Maribel, revealing that Garrett has been fantasizing about her.

6: Mayor overhears his parents discussing the call they received from the school, requesting they come by for a conference—he is in his room, examining his still-bloodied face.

7: Mayor is heavily grounded—he is not allowed to see Maribel or his friend William, and he receives no allowance. His father has also taken away all of his Christmas presents, and he dangles Mayor’s brother Enrique’s many gifts right in front of Mayor’s nose.

8: On Christmas Eve, the Toros go to retrieve Enrique from the Wilmington train station.

9: Enrique wants to skip church that evening, as he is tired from his trip, but Celia insists that he join them.

10: Later in the morning, the radiators stop working—soon, the telephone rings, and Alma Rivera reports that her family’s radiator has gone out, too.

11: As the party grows more and more boisterous and joyful, and everyone starts dancing, Mayor pulls Maribel away from the action in order to give her a Christmas present—he has saved up his allowance to buy her a red scarf.

12: Mayor's desire to see Maribel creeps back in, and, in an attempt to cover it up, he inadvertently suggests a full-on block party. Despite the annoyance—and even the danger—of broken heating on Christmas day, Mayor watches as his neighbors all come together to celebrate the holiday and their shared cultures.

13: At noon, Celia begins calling her friends throughout the building and inviting them to come by—everyone’s heat is out. Soon there is a party in full swing at the Toro apartment, and even the landlord, Fito, stops by to announce that the energy company is on the way to fix the heat.

14: Fito came to America from Paraguay in 1972 with dreams of being a boxer. He was “skinny but strong,” and he gave boxing a try for a while, attempting to follow a famous trainer to Vermont. He could only afford to go as far as Delaware, though, and took a job laying blacktop at the Redwood Apartments.

15: Though Fito never expected to end up in Delaware, he has found a thriving Latino community and has come to see it as “home.” Fito purchased the building after saving for years, and he tries each day to make it “like an island for washed-ashore refugees.”

Answer: In Canada, Thanksgiving is always celebrated on the second Monday of October.

Explanation: Remember these two things:

-Proper Noun: A proper noun is a noun that identifies a single entity and is used to refer to that entity, such as London, Jupiter, Sarah, or Microsoft, as distinguished from a common noun, which is a noun that refers to a class of entities and may be used when referring to instances of a specific class.

-Noun: A noun is a word that names something, such as a person, place, thing, or idea. In a sentence, nouns can play the role of subject, direct object, indirect object, subject complement, object complement, appositive, or adjective.

Hope this helped! ;)

Can someone pls tell me what this is (She runs as fast as a cheetah!)
ZanzabumX [31]

Hey there!

The answer to your question is <u>simile</u>

A simile is a comparison between two objects using the words "like" or "as"

In your sentence, it says "She runs <u>as</u> fast as a cheetah."

They are comparing her running speed and the speed of a cheetah, and they used the word "as"

<u>Other notes:</u>

Personification ~ <em>Giving an object or animal human-like qualities</em>

Foreshadowing ~ <em>A technique an author gives to hint about future events</em>

Metaphor ~ <em>A direct comparison of two objects</em>

Simile ~ <em>a comparison between two objects using the words "like" or "as"</em>

Hyperbole ~ <em>an exaggerated statement</em>

Symbolism ~ a technique that uses symbols or other things to express hidden meanings

Hope this helps! Good luck and have a great day!
