In the sentence from "Like Mexicans," the meaning of the underlined term in this context is:

A. Someone who is from the West and whose parents are from the West.

  • From Gary Soto's "Like Mexicans," the line we are analyzing here is:

"I ignored them and climbed the back fence to see my best friend, Scott, a second-generation <u>Okie</u>."

  • The underlined word is "Okie", which means a native or an inhabitant of Oklahoma. In the context the word is inserted, it refers to someone whose family is from the West.

  • With that in mind, we can eliminate options <u>B, C, and D</u>. Okie does not refer to a racist, a non-Mexican, or someone who is fluent in English. The best option is letter A.

Which event from Acts II and III demonstrates the recurring motif of " Fair is foul, and fouls is fair ?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Macbeth pretending to be a loyal servant of King Duncan but eventually murders him in order to steal the throne.

Explanation:

The recurring motif in <em>Macbeth </em>“Fair is foul, and foul is fair” means that looks can be deceptive as someone who has a good appearance or seems "fair" is actually bad or evil which is the opposite of being fair.

The words “Fair is foul, and foul is fair” was actually said by the witches when they were making incantations at the beginning of the play.

Using a dictionary and the methods described at the beginning of the “Advanced Reading Skills” lesson, provide a “translation” o
qwelly [4]
I guess this also depends on what the "Advanced Reading Skills" lessons talks about, but don't think of it as "really hard"! Work on one word, one phrase, one sentence, and you'll start making progress. =) 

In general, when translating, the first thing you'll have to do is to understand the paragraph, but you're right, this isn't that easy a paragraph to translate. You could use an English dictionary, or a bilingual dictionary (http://www.nciku.com<span>is good for English-Chinese) to help you. While you're doing this, try to pick out important words and translate them first, and see if you could understand what each sentence means. </span>

<span>Sometimes, words may have multiple meanings or be used as metaphors - for example, "amputated" means "having been cut off", but in your 2nd sentence, it means that the poet should not be condemned and criticised to the point where he is treated as having no value. </span>

<span>Finally, after you've translated the text, don't forget to read it to check if it makes sense in the language you're using - and if it makes for smooth reading!</span>

I’m sure you’re aware of the components of a brilliant story: a riveting plot, interesting characters, and the resolution (or not) of the protagonist’s conflict. All of these comprise the what of the narrative.

The how is described through scenes and settings.

The scenes in your story are, in a nutshell, the chances that you have to leave a lasting impression with the reader. They portray the aesthetic of your tale; which is its single-most impactful element. People read stories not just to know what happens, but also to find out how it happens. These are just two sides of the same coin.

A fantastic plot twist excites and amuses the reader.

A well-described scene teleports them into the world you’ve created.

Creating a palpable setting requires effective communication. The way to do this is defined clearly in the final point of this article. However, powerful writing has more to do with avoiding mistakes rather than developing new skills. The first two points are about this.
