Read the following excerpt from Katherine Anne Porter's "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall":
"Mother, Father Connolly's here."
"I went to Holy Communion only last week. Tell him I'm not so sinful as all that."
"Father just wants to speak with you."
He could speak as much as he pleased. It was like him to drop in and inquire about her soul as if it were a teething baby, and then stay on for a cup of tea and a round of cards and gossip. He always had a funny story of some sort, usually about an Irishman who made his little mistakes and confessed them, and the point lay in some absurd thing he would blurt out in the confessional showing his struggles between native piety and original sin. Granny felt easy about her soul. Cornelia, where are your manners? Give Father Connolly a chair. She had her secret comfortable understanding with a few favorite saints who cleared a straight road to God for her. All as surely signed and sealed as the papers for the new forty acres. Forever . . . heirs and assigns forever. Since the day the wedding cake was not cut, but thrown out and wasted. The whole bottom of the world dropped out, and there she was blind and sweating with nothing under her feet and the walls falling away, His hand had caught her under the breast, she had not fallen, there was the freshly polished floor with the green rug on it, just as before. He had cursed like a sailor's parrot and said, "I'll kill him for you." Don't lay a hand on him, for my sake leave something to God. "Now, Ellen, you must believe what I tell you. . . ."
Identify two themes that are clearly developed in this excerpt of "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall." How does the author develop the two themes over the course of the text? Be sure to use specific details from the text to support your answer.
Answer:
The themes of Spirituality and Hospitality are developed in this excerpt.
Explanation:
The themes in a literary work are the central subjects discussed in the text. Granny Weatherall displayed spirituality and innocence when she explained that she was up-to-date in her consumption of the holy communion. This shows that granny was deeply involved in religious matters and wanted the salvation of her soul.
She also showed hospitality when she welcomed Father Connolly, offered him a seat, and even urged her granddaughter to welcome him warmly.

Answer and Explanation:
"Condensed Milk" is a short story by Russian author Varlam Shalamov (1907-1982), who based it on his own experience as a prisoner. Shalamov spent around 15 years at a Gulag, a forced-labor camp.
The unnamed protagonist of the story is very much like Shalamov himself. Most likely arrested for expressing opinions against the political regime, he lives a miserable life at the Gulag. He is sick, weak, and apathetic due to the suffering and starvation.
The conflict is introduced by another character, Shestakov, who has privileges at the Gulag. Shestakov offers the protagonist a chance to escape the camp. However, the protagonist knows this means either death or more time as a prisoner. Nonetheless, instead of directly rejecting the opportunity, he chooses a more interesting approach to deal with the conflict. He asks for some condensed milk to drink, saying he will feel stronger and will be able to escape after drinking it.
He does not have any intention of escaping. He is just using Shestakov to get some delicious food for him. The climax of the story, the point when the conflict is being addressed, is when the protagonist drinks the two can Shestakov has brought him. It is also the point where he reveals his real intentions:
'You know,' I said, carefully licking the spoon, 'I changed my mind. Go without me.'
The protagonist was right. Shestakov was indeed working with the government, and those who tried to escape were either killed or sentenced to more time. But it is interesting to see that the protagonist regards his actions as a revenge - small, but still a revenge. He outsmarted the man who was willing to get him killed. He dealt with the conflict with wit and humor:
It was, of course, a weak, worthless act of vengeance just like all my feelings. But what else could I do?
Answer:The conflict in the short story Condensed milk is survival in a Gulag, hungr and desperation.

Read the passage below from "Marigolds and answer the question.
I had Indeed lost my mind, for all the smoldering emotions of that summer swelled In me and burst-the great
need for my mother who was never there, the hopelessness of our poverty and degradation, the
bewilderment of being neither child nor woman and yet both at once, the fear unleashed by my father's tears.
And these feelings combined in one great Impulse toward destruction.
What literary device does the author employ In the last sentence of the passage?
imagery
foreshadowing
irony
symbolism
Answer:
The literary device the author employs in the last sentence of the passage is:
B. foreshadowing.
Explanation:
"Marigolds" is a short story by American author Eugenia Collier (born 1928). It has a first-person narrator, Lizabeth, who is 14 years old and lives in a poor community during the Great Depression.
The last line of the passage is:
"And these feelings combined in one great impulse toward destruction."
This line uses a literary device called foreshadowing, which happens when an author reveals a detail that will later unfold into something important in the plot. In this particular case, when Lizabeth mentions "destruction", she implies that she will later destroy all the beautiful marigolds in Ms. Lottie's garden. Lizabeth is angry, sad, and confused. This is the way she finds to externalize her feelings.
What are clues given that told you that they were
without money? Give three examples.
Answer:
What are the Types of Context Clues?
There are five basic types of context clues. If you can help your child understand what they are, and how they work, she’ll have an ever-ready tool kit to use whenever she’s reading and finds herself stumped by an unknown word.
1:Synonym or restatement clues – When an author uses these types of clues, he or she will say the same thing twice: once with the more difficult word, and then again in a more simple way, often right in the same sentence. If your child doesn’t understand a word in a sentence, tell her to keep reading. A restatement clue may be coming right up.
2: Antonym or contrast clues – These types of context clues give us hints to the meaning of words by telling us what they’re not. Often the word “but” is included in the sentence to tell us that an opposite thought is about to be presented. That opposite is the antonym we’re looking for. Point out the antonym to your child. Then ask her, “What’s the opposite?”
3: Definition or explanation clues – With this type of context clue, the definition of the word is literally given to the reader in the form of an explanation. Sometimes the author will add very specific words to tell us an explanation is upcoming. These can include phrases like “which means” or “that is” or “in other words.”
4: General or inference clues – These types of context clues are a little more subtle. They usually require readers to look beyond the sentence they’re reading for understanding, sometimes even at the entire passage, the topic of the piece or the illustrations. If other, more specific context clues are missing, looking for inference clues is your child’s best bet.
5:Punctuation or font clues – The clues hidden here are found in capitalization, italicization, quotation marks and even parentheses. These clues tell the reader that the word could be a name, a book title or even that, in the case of parentheses, the word is being defined for us.
6:Tone or mood clues – Sometimes the mood that the author has set for us helps us guess at a word’s meaning. If the setting is a ghost story for instance, and the protagonist is “brooding,” we can be pretty sure it doesn’t mean he’s happy. Asking your child how she would feel in the setting of the story is one way to clue her into the meaning of a new word.

Click to read the passage from The Metamorphosis, by Franz Kafka. Then
answer the question.
Kafka believed that his father disapproved of him. Which excerpt from the
passage best suggests that Gregor's father views his son in the same way?
A. Gregor got out.
B. just as I always said
C. It was clear to Gregor that Grete had not said enough.
D. you women wouldn't listen
SUBMIT
Answer:
D). You women wouldn't listen.
Explanation:
The novel 'The Metamorphosis' authored by Franz Kafka underlines the story of salesman who abruptly converts into an insect and struggles to retain his humanity for his family which symbolizes that his worth was only limited to the money he earned and gave to his family and not any emotions.
As per the question, the excerpt 'you women wouldn't listen' indicates that father of Gregor also contemplates and adjudges him in the similar disapproving manner. When his mother faints after knowing that Gregor has been transformed into an insect, his father came back home and Grete narrates the entire incident to him. Then he says 'you women wouldn't listen' conveying that they didn't recognize his words that Gregor is a futile being. This shows that his father also neglected him and regard him useless. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Do you think Jim and Della are realistic characters? Are their actions more or less convincing than the actions of Federigo and Monna Giovanna in “Federigo’s Falcon”? Give reasons for your response.
Answer:
no
Explanation:
it just doesn't make sense
Answer:
Jim and Della are realistic characters. It seemed like they were truly in love and cared deeply for each other. The story is about how they both sell their most valuable possession (Jim his watch and Della her hair) to buy a Christmas present for the other. Compared to Jim and Della, the characters of Monna Giovanna and Federigo in “Federigo’s Falcon” seem less real because they’re not well developed. Federigo doesn’t hesitate to kill his pet falcon just to serve a good meal to Monna Giovanna. It’s equally strange that Monna doesn’t feel angry and frustrated when she learns that Federigo killed the falcon that could have saved her son’s life.

In Romeo and Juliet, if Romeo were Paris and not a Montague, would Juliet still love him? Why or why not? How big a part does "forbidden love" play in their attraction? How can you tell? Answer in at least three complete sentences
Answer and Explanation:
Juliet would still love Romeo, regardless of his last name and the family he belongs to. We can see this, because Juliet herself claims that the name Romeo is meaningless to her, because with any name he would still be the Romeo she fell in love with. Juliet claims this soon after learning that Romeo is a Montague, when she was already in love. The role of "forbidden love" in Juliet's attraction to Romeo is small, as Juliet falls in love with Romeo before learning that their family were enemies and would never allow them to be together. You may know this from the speech Juliet makes on her bedroom balcony when she declares her love for Romeo.
It is important to remember that "Romeo and Juliet" is a play written by Shakespeare. In this story, we get to know the tragic romance lived by Romeo and Juliet and learn how petty intrigues can have horrible results.
