Answer:

After they were broken in, they might take on other tasks or, if they were lucky, get a place at the factory. The Indians’ contracts called for seven hours’ work for about twenty-four cents a day. During the first few months, though, eight cents a week was deducted for food rations. And no matter what the words said on a piece of paper, sugar workers did not work just seven hours. More often than not, they labored as long as there was light

All families have traditions, either big or small ,that they keep alive each year. Write an essay to describe three traditions y
svp [43]

Answer:

I love family traditions. They were very important to me growing up. I remember being very proud to tell my friends that our family always had grandma's stuffing for Thanksgiving, went camping every summer, or had burgers every Saturday. I especially counted on the holidays being the same each year - doing the same things and serving the same foods. It was comforting to me and helped ground me in my place in the world.

As an adult I think back on the things I looked forward to each year, our traditions, with a fondness that helps me remember and appreciate my family - even those who are long gone.But beyond how it makes me or my family feel, why are these seemingly little things we do together regularly as a family important?

Read the excerpt from Midsummer by Derek Walcott. With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings, midsummer’s leaves race
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The poem's allusion to the 1982 Brixton riot:

C. illustrates the strong feelings associated with the poem's subject matter.

Explanation:

This excerpt was taken from part XXIII of Derek Walcott's "Midsummer". Born in 1930 in Saint Lucia, Walcott received several awards for his works, including the Nobel Prize. He passed away in 2017.

The simile we are analyzing here compares the summer leaves to the Brixton riot. This may seem to be quite an unlikely comparison, which is probably what the author was aiming for. It is quite powerful to compare a season to a riot and its violence. As a matter of fact, as the poem goes on, the author continues to do so. He compares, for instance, leaves and branches to cattle being whipped. All of that unusual comparison aims to illustrate the author's feelings toward his subject matter, which is clearly quite strong.
