In an extended and well-developed metaphor, Blaeser compares the rituals to a loop. In the first paragraph, it is the loops of curly hair that can't ever be brushed and tamed. Any attempt at doing that will cause pain, and fingers can't go through them without getting stuck. She then proceeds to explain that "family, place, and community" are the loop of our identity. We can't get hold of it, we can't unravel it, but we will always be compelled to return to it. They constitute our private "rituals of memory". Those rituals are connected, repeated, and intertwined just like braids of curly hair. If we were to cut them, we would destroy our own identity.

Digiron [165]

Growing up i have witness alot of pranks and pulled a few on my own that is why i am very fund of pulling pranks. I feel like pranks are a way for people to show off there creativity. For example, my friend ( enter friends name here) pulled a prank on me were she pretended to lose my phone. I was upset at the time until i realized he/she had a weird bulge coming from the side of there arm. My friend decided to hide my phone in the upper part of there shirt sleeve. I was rolling around laughing once i realized my phone was in no way lost. pranks are always funny when there not extreme, try and pull a little prank for yourself. Just remember to make sure if something breaks or really is misplaced, you can re[place that item. Pranks are meant to be funny and harmless. never pull a prank that you would not want someone to pull on you. And if it does happen maybe you should reconsider pulling extravagent pranks, or ask that person in advance if this would upset them and pull the prank on a later date once they have forgotten you asked about it.

Read the excerpt from "Homesick" by Jean Fritz. Edward kept busy in programs planned for children his age and the grown-ups made
wel

Answer:

Jean thinks that adults are incapable of having any interesting conversation with.

Explanation:

In the story "Homesickness" by Jean Fritz, the author provides a look into the life she lived when she was a child, having to stay in China. The autobiographical yet fictionalized account of her life living in an unfamiliar surrounding in far China gives a sense of what Jean thinks of her own identity, stuck between the two cultures yet unable to identify with any side in particular.

The given excerpt talks about how different the concerns of the children and the adults seem to have. Jean states<em> "grown-ups made friends and talked their usual boring grown-up talk</em>", suggestive of what she thinks about the adults' lives. To her, it seems like the adults are living a rather "boring" life, talking about the useless and boring "grown-up talk". This seems to show that Jean thinks the adults are difficult to have any interesting conversation with.
