Noah begins the book about being thrown from a moving car. Why do you think he chose to begin his narrative with this anecdote?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Noah begins his book with an anecdote from his childhood when his mother threw him out of a moving car. Noah must have included this anecdote in his narrative to show his religious upbringing by his mother.

Explanation:

'Born A Crime' is a memoir of Trevor Noah. The account is the comedian's funny memoir and also sheds light on his childhood life in South Africa under apartheid.

He begins his narrative with an anecdote from his childhood when he was nine years old and thrown out of the moving car by his mother. Noah's mother was a very pious religious lady, who attended three churches on Sunday which would mean nine hours of time slot spend in attending Sunday services. Noah narrates an account of one Sunday, when their secondhand car broke down and would not start.  Usually, for people, car break down would mean staying back at home but for Noah's mother, it meant that the devil is stopping them and therefore, they shoudl go. That day they decided to travel through minibus to attend church service.

This anecdote reveals the religious upbringing of Noah by his mother. Other fact that is revealed through this incident is the absurdity of accepting Christianity by Africans. During apartheid, white men preached Christianity to Africans saying that Jesus can save them, and the saving they needed was from white men only.

Nothing was holding Woody in New York, and in about a week he was in Washington, staying with Lomax and his wife. He turned down their offer of a bed, and fell asleep sprawled on the couch, or threw his lumber jacket over his shoulders and slept on the floor. Rather than eat at the table, he insisted on standing over the sink, saying, “I don’t want to get softened up. I’m a road man.”

—This Land Is Your Land,
Elizabeth Partridge

How did Woody’s personality influence his music?

He liked being in one place, so his songs focus mostly on one location.
He liked to wander and meet new people, so he wrote songs that were easy to remember.
He was tough, so his songs have a rough edge.
He was complicated, so he wrote complex songs with tricky melodies that required practice

Question 3

Which detail from the text BEST supports the inference that deep down Anthony

thinks he may win the election for student body president?

А

Today was student government officer Election Day at

Woodleigh Oaks High, and Anthony was vying for the office of

student body president, a longtime dream of his.

B

A few minutes later, being pelted by needles of steaming hot

water in the shower, Anthony practiced the opening line of his

acceptance speech to give himself courage.

С

He talked on and on, in a confident, clear voice, and all he

could hear was unusual silence; a silent high school

gymnasium was an oxymoron.

D

The election results for student body president were

announced last, so Anthony had plenty of time to become

almost crazy with impatience.

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Reading the passage over and over again, it was clear Anthony never saw himself winning, but despite 4huge odds stacked against him, we could take an inference in this line of the passage.

"He talked on and on, in a confident, clear voice, and all he could hear was unusual silence; a silent high school gymnasium was an oxymoron."

The fact that gymnasium was silent meant that the students were listening very attentively to what he was saying and we could even go further to say, they believed in him. Else, of course like the passage said "it was an oxymoron", they would have been noisy and not given him any attention. If credence is given to the statement that followed the quoted line, we will see that the crowd actually applauded him and not boo him.

I believe C is the answer

Why would a writer choose to ise a variety of sentences

Answers

Answer:

To make the text less monotonous.

Explanation:

It's important for a writer to use different types of sentences, because sentences with the same structure tend to make the text monotonous and less interesting to read. For example, instead of using only simple sentences, writers should use complex and compound sentences as well, or instead of always starting the sentence with the subject, they could change the word order to make the text easier to read and more engaging.

What effect does repetition have on Anthony's
speech

Answers

☆.。.:* hello there 。.:*☆

the answer is down below

☆✼★━━━━━━━━━━━━★✼☆☆✼★━━━━━━━━━━━━★☆。

Answer:

It is delivered to a crowd with the specific purpose of turning them to Antony's point of view. One of the reasons the speech is so rhetorically effective is Antony's clever use of repetition, repeating the phrase ''Brutus is an honorable man'' in order to imply the exact opposite meaning.

Explanation:

This repetition of the phrase, 'Brutus is an honourable man' is a clever rhetorical device. Antony is being wholly sarcastic when he says it. This has a cumulative impact on the crowd, as they listen to Antony demolishing all of Brutus's arguments. What Antony does, in effect, is to turn Brutus's own words against him.

Answers

Explanation: Use emotion or express. Use it with a hyperbole. Like this: I'm feeling as blue as blue jazz.  Since blue jazz is sad music. Hope this helps!

Figurative language expresses an emotion or feeling. Option (A) is the correct response.

What is figurative language?

Using descriptive words, phrases, and sentences to communicate a message that implies something without explicitly expressing it is known as figurative language.

Our writing and poetry gain depth via the use of figurative language, which enables us to express ideas more creatively and colorfully. Figurative language tends to be vivid, so it pops and comes alive in people's minds. We can convey more ideas with figurative language and use fewer words.

Figures of speech are used by poets in their works. They have a variety of figures of speech to pick from. Simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, and understatement are five typical examples.

Therefore, Option (A) is correct.

The Soviet amendment of article 22 introduces new elements into the article without improving the committed text and again introduces specific reference to "discrimination."

The new article proposed by the Soviet delegation is but a restatement of State obligation, which the Soviet delegation attempted to introduce into practically every article in the Declaration.
