Read the following poem, "Harlem" by Langston Hughes:
What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?

like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

PLZ HELP!!!
Look back at the predictions you made about themes that might be developed in The Outsiders. How does Chapter 2 change your prediction, if at all? What details either support your prediction or suggest other themes?

What are readers waiting to find out by the end of Chapter 5 of The Outsiders? What events keep them from learning how the story's conflict will be resolved?

Answers

Answer:

Empathy, they will all learn to step in one another's shoes. The evidence that leads me to this is when Cherry becomes friends with Ponyboy even though they are quite different.

Explanation:

I have read the book, so you need to do the other two.

Happy learning!

The themes that may be developed in the book are the struggle between social classes, the importance of family and loyalty, and the sense of isolation and alienation felt by some of the characters.

What is The Outsiders?

Based on the first chapter of The Outsiders, it is predicted that some of the themes that may be developed in the book are the struggle between social classes, the importance of family and loyalty, and the sense of isolation and alienation felt by some of the characters. This prediction is based on the contrast between the rich Socs and the poor Greasers, as well as Ponyboy's sense of being an outsider and his connection with his gang members.

Chapter 2 reinforces these themes and introduces new ones, such as the idea of innocence and loss of it, and the importance of friendship. The conflict between the Socs and the Greasers becomes more apparent in this chapter, with a violent encounter between the two groups. Ponyboy's relationship with his brother Darry is also developed, highlighting the theme of family and loyalty.

By the end of Chapter 5, readers are waiting to find out how the conflict between the Socs and the Greasers will be resolved and what will happen to Johnny and Ponyboy after they run away. The events that keep readers from learning how the conflict will be resolved include the ongoing tension and violence between the two groups, as well as the uncertainty and danger faced by Johnny and Ponyboy while on the run.

How did the memories influence the development of Jonas’s character?

The memories helped Jonas see color and know what the changes of weather can do.

As Jonas begins to receive memories and learn more about the world before sameness, he naturally begins to think more independently. He becomes frustrated with his community and makes his own decision to leave the community.

Jonas’s character developed through the memories because it gave him the power of the receiver.

The memories developed Jonas’s character by letting him gain the same knowledge as the Giver as the Giver loses the memories.

Answers

It has to be B.

A) makes no sense
C) Jonas is the receiver but it’s because he’s “gifted”

Tone- how the narrator/speaker feels towards the events of the narrative they are describing
Mood- how the piece makes us—the reader—feel
Evidence- examples of the literary devices the author used and how they were used (diction, metaphor, imagery, contrast, etc.)

Paragraph #1:
The tone (coming from the narrator) is joyous, lively, and sentimental
The mood (to the reader) is warm, festive, and personal
EVIDENCE: Imagery of pleasant sensations like “bright lights” the “smell of cookies and cider,” “bright packages,” and the “warm room” as well as the selected vocabulary of “gleamed,” “hummed,” and “playfully,” demonstrate the narrator’s comfort, familiarity, and enjoyment of the holidays while indicating to the reader that this is a safe, happy, and celebratory time.

Paragraph #2:
The tone is depressed and disheartened
The mood is bleak and expired
EVIDENCE: words like “long, cold winter” “dry, brittle (tree),” and the juxtaposition (contrast) between putting “decorations back into their boxes” with the past “finery” of the house show the narrator’s disappointed feelings towards the end of the holiday season and the general “sigh” of the house.

Item 8
Too Fast

Batnik’s father was a great inventor. He had created many things that made people’s lives easier. One of his inventions was a car that could operate on both water and land; this car was Batnik’s favorite. On water, it could float and travel at speeds up to 80 miles per hour. But on land, it could travel at speeds over 200 miles per hour. Batnik’s father had created this special car to help people from their island get to the mainland and other islands faster. When Batnik's father was a boy, the only method of travel from one island to another was by ferry, and the trip often took hours. People who were sick and needed medical help from the mainland would have to endure the long crossing or not go at all because of delays. Batnik’s father loved his homeland and wanted to ease the burden on the people, so he created the water car.

When he showed the car to Batnik, Batnik’s father warned Batnik that the car should not be driven at the maximum speed on land or water because the engine could burst into flame. One day when his father was away, Batnik decided that he wanted to show the car to his friends. He drove it on the water, at first going only half the possible speed. Then, as his excitement grew, he increased his speed on the water and was nearing maximum speed. When he reached the land, he continued to accelerate. His exhilaration grew. Like the mythological Greek boy Icarus, who flew too close to the sun, Batnik forgot his father’s warning and pushed the gas pedal to the floor. When the car exceeded 200 miles per hour, it burst into flames.
How is the character of Batnik's father in “Too Fast” similar to Pan in "Pan: God of the Wild"?

Both act in ways that cause the deaths of young people.

Both help people with new inventions.

Both have aspects of joy and terror.

Both travel throughout the world in unusual ways.

Which sentence contains a double negative?

Don't light the candle next to the curtain.

We didn't see nothing at the store.

I can't find my basketball anywhere.

Answers

Answer:

we didn't see nothing at the store

Explanation:

didn't and nothing cancel each other out

"We didn't see nothing at the store" sentence contains a double negative. Thus, option 'C' is the correct option.

What is a double negative?

When two grammatical negation structures are employed in the same sentence, the result is a double negative. The more general phrase for when there are many negatives in a sentence is "multiple negations." Double negatives can yield an affirmative in certain languages when they cancel one other out, but they can also amplify the negation in other languages.

The use of two negatives in a single independent phrase is referred to as litotes, and in standard English, the negatives are considered to cancel one another and result in a weaker affirmative (see the Robert Lowth quote below). However, depending on how the phrase is put together, certain dialects consider that the second negative is intensifying if a verb or adverb is placed between them.
