Who is Peter? Why is he important in the book "The Color of Water"? ​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Ruth's first love, a young black man who Ruth met in her father's store. It's unclear if Peter was true as kind and loving as Ruth remembers him, or if Ruth was so starved for affection that she saw him as perfect.

Explanation:

Important because he wrote this volume in order to discover himself. By delving into his mother's past, as well as his own past, he hoped to find a better understanding of his racial, religious, and social identity. This purpose guides the book's tone and content.

Read the excerpt from "The Lottery."

The people separated good-humoredly to let her through: two or three people said, in voices just loud enough to be heard across the crowd, "Here comes your Missus, Hutchinson," and "Bill, she made it after all." Mrs. Hutchinson reached her husband, and Mr. Summers, who had been waiting, said cheerfully, "Thought we were going to have to get on without you, Tessie." Mrs. Hutchinson said grinning, "Wouldn't have me leave m'dishes in the sink, now, would you, Joe?" and soft laughter ran through the crowd as the people stirred back into position after Mrs. Hutchinson's arrival.

Which line from the excerpt contains irony?

“Bill, she made it after all.”
“Thought we were going to have to get on without you, Tessie.”
“Wouldn’t have me leave m’dishes in the sink, now, would you, Joe?”
“Here comes your Missus, Hutchinson.”

Answers

Answer:

its answer B “Thought we were going to have to get on without you, Tessie.”

The line that contains irony in the excerpt is "Thought we were going to have to get on without you, Tessie.” (option B)

Why is option B ironical?

In "The Lottery," a whole village takes part in a lottery in which the prize is quite awful. Rather than receiving money, for example, those whose names are drawn are stoned to death by the rest of the inhabitants.

That is what makes the line in option B ironical. Tessie arrives late for the lottery, but she is the one whose name is picked in the end. If she hadn't come to the event, things would actually have been better for her.

a. Write an account of the most important event in the
history of your country
(About 150 words)​

Answers

Answer:(this is 203 words) hope this helps!

The reason why the Constitution is the most important event in history is that with it, the U.S maintains its order. It does so much that we don't even realize how much of an impact it has on our government and ourselves.

Firstly the Constitution created the three branches of government. The Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches. By creating these three branches this helped decrease the risk of tyranny again, as well as help creates balance. As we have seen throughout history, an unbalanced government leads to a chaotic country, a country that no one respects, and most countries look up to us as the great big brother. So, when you think about it, the Constitution helped us gain respect too.

Secondly, the Constitution outlines our freedoms. It gives us the power to express ourselves selves, and honestly, it gives us the green light to be ourselves and be proud of who we are and the country we represent. It also gives us security, the security to know that we have a voice and are free to use that voice legally

In conclusion, the Constitution's creation was the most important part of history because it's what made this country what is today.

Both affirm that ideas in the text have been proven by previous experience.
Both end with proof that all people are expected to conform

Both demonstrate that all people must eventually conform

Explanation:

"Conformity" is a text that shows the positive and negative sides of compliance, that is, when acting within the values that a group stands for is positive in someone's life and when it is negative. The text stresses that in some moments of our lives we will have to present conformity, but it is necessary that we know how to do this in a progressive way and that it brings us advantages.

This is reflected in "Funny in Farsi" which tells the story of how an Iranian boy did not feel the need to conform to anything that is imposed on him and only complies with what makes him comfortable and what he believes he is. correct for him.
