Answer:
At first glance, it may seem that ‘Tokyo Blues‘ is about a typical story in which a teenager is in a love triangle. And to some extent, it's true. But the history of Murakami manages to turn events around and highlight the importance of how they happen. It is a short novel, but not light. I have to admit that at the beginning I had my doubts but I really enjoyed reading.

Although the premise can be seen, the story is told with tact, sensitivity and rawness at some times. All these elements make it a very special book. The story stars unusual characters. Everyone has some emotional tare and some ghosts of the past. They are caught between nostalgia and monotony.
Death, sex, disease and insecurity are key elements in ‘Tokyo Blues’. They are present in virtually the entire book and continually condition the story. So are music and literature because despite the fact that Murakami is a Japanese writer, he is fascinated by certain Western elements that (from what I have read) he introduces into almost all his works. In this case, jazz or The Beatles (who title the book with "Norwegian Wood"), Truman Capote, Fitzgerald or Raymond Chandler.
Which kind of called
to cry out in a loud voice
to command or request to come
or to communicate or try to communicate with by telephone
The answer is most logically option C. This is because while the argument does feel like it is backed up with the statistic, there are no other statistics given for other countries. The argument lacks the information needed.
Answer:
2. The image emphasizes that Mr. Shiftlet lives in an uncaring world.
Explanation:
Flannery O'Connor's short story "The Life You Save May Be Your Own" is part of the numerous short stories collection "A Good Man is Hard to Find". The story revolves around the character of Tom Shiflet and his acts in trying to survive the world, cheating Lucynell and her mother.
Similes are literary devices that compares words with another directly, a bit different from a metaphor (Metaphors compare things indirectly related). This simile in the sentence compares the words spoken by the old woman Lucynell to that of "<em>a group of buzzards in the top of a tree</em>". The "<em>ugly words</em>" of Mrs. Lucynell was that Shiflet was "<em>a poor disabled friendless drifting man</em>", but she also considers him capable enough to be her daughter's husband. This way of addressing him by the woman who expects him to marry her daughter shows that the world or society he lives in doesn't have much care about others, everyone for themselves.
