11. Why do think Twyla asks Roberta, “How is your mother?” What is she trying to accomplish by asking her this question? Does she succeed? Why?

12. What is a “Recitatif”? What words does it remind you of and how are these words related to the story?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:9 answer:Twyla realizes that she's the only one leading their conversation and after embarrasing herself by not knowing who Jimi Hendrix was she could sense that the conversation was over (since the other party had no interest whatsoever in keeping it going) therefore she decides to ask one final question involving their families in order to walk away from the conversation and the characters themselves.

12 answer:”ecitatif" is the French form of the word recitative, which is a type of musical dialogue used during the narrative parts in an opera. The title is significant to the story because Twyla Benson shares each of her encounters with Roberta Fisk Norton as an operatic act.”The term "recitatif" also once included the now-obsolete meaning, "the tone or rhythm peculiar to any language."

Answer:

D is not your answer. Someone who is bitter and exhausted has learned something that made them bitter and exhausted. They have changed.

C is not your answer. We have a hook here. We're drawn in to find out why she is different. That's not a flat character.

Learning how to ride a bike is no easy task. Most people learn as children and mount their first bicycle with training wheels mounted on the sides of
the back tires. Those training wheels eventually come off. When that happens, usually someone runs behind the bicycle, holding the back of the seat
as the rider learns to balance on two wheels. As the runner runs back and forth down the street, the rider eventually picks up on how to lean to stay
up on two wheels. Eventually, the runner lets go of the seat, and the rider rides off on his or her own.

Atticus simply means that the case is pretty straightforward.

Dear Liza,

       Hi, Liza. I hope you're holding up well after that terrible accident. I'm writing in behalf of our class.

The class had been so shocked when Miss Nancy told us about your family getting to an accident. Some girls, like Jessie and Polly, even burst into tears. We are glad to hear you only broke your leg and had some minor injuries though, as far worse things could have happened.

We missed you a lot in class today. Hayley, Ronald, and I took turns copying an extra set of notes for you in every class. Gemma helped you pass up the assignments you left in your locker. James did your classroom duty for you. So, don't worry about school, and get good rest!

We heard about your sister passing away, and we're very sorry for your loss. When you are ready, feel free to call any of us and have a talk! We are most willing to accompany you through your grieving.

To sum it all up, we miss you incredibly, and we wish you and your family all the best in recovering. Hope you come back to our sides soon.
