Completed in 1931, the Empire State Building in New York City, standing 102 stories (1,250 feet) high, was the tallest building

in the world for about 40 years until the completion of the twin towers of the World Trade Center in 1970, followed by the Sears Tower in Chicago in 1973. Recently, however, with the availability of more advanced technologies and building materials, skyscrapers are testing new limits. In 1998 the Petronas Towers in Malaysia, both standing 1,483 feet tall, became the world’s tallest buildings. Then came Taipei 101 in Taiwan, rising over 1,650 feet. Today the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, at 2,717 feet, is the world’s tallest building. If our wish is to someday live with our heads in the clouds, each new skyscraper takes us a little closer to that goal.

Explanation:

In “Lather and Nothing Else,” the barber faces the challenge of shaving the enemy, a cruel captain.

At first, he reflects on all the terrible things the captain has done. Then, he explains his internal conflict over whether to kill the captain when he has a chance.

However, he does not believe in murder.

In addition, he takes great pride in his work.

In the end, he controls his emotions and lets the captain live.

Certainly, overcoming his own emotions is his greatest challenge.

"Lather and Nothing Else" is a story by Hernando Tellez.

The story is about a revolutionary barber who has a customer called captain Torres. Captain Torres killed the barber's fellow revolutionaries in trying to suppress revolutionaries.

When captain Torres went to have a shave from the barber, the barber had an internal conflict of whether to revenge by killing the captain or not for all the terrible things the captain has done. But in the end, the barber controlled his emotions and let the captain live.

The passage is completed with conjunctive adverbs

1. How does the idea of Tan’s reconciliation with her mother’s informal English develop over the course of chunk 1?
Anvisha [2.4K]

From the short story "Mother Tongue"written by Amy Tan: Growing up, Amy struggled with the feeling of being in two language zones; on the one hand she used the simple English with her mother, who spoke English in an unclear  way , according to others, and on the other hand she used the English she learned at school which was more sophisticated. There were times when she felt embarrassed by her mother's use of English, especially when her friends could not understand what she was saying. But her mother knew English very well because she could read sophisticated books in English. It was only her delivery of the language that was lacking. Later in life, Amy came to accept the positive aspects that she learned from growing up in an immigrant family, from her mother, and be grateful for the teachings of her two worlds.
