“Bite back your tongue,” scolded my mother when I cried loudly, yanking her hand toward the story that sold bags of salted plums. At home, she said, “Wise guy, he not go against wind. In Chinese we say, Come from South, blow with wind – poom! – North will follow. Strongest wind cannot be seen.”

Answers

Answer 1

The thing which Mami, Cukita's mother from “Daughter of Invention” would think of that advice is that she would be displeased as she is hot-tempered and confronts people openly.

The spread of Western culture which has introduced Santa Claus to the world can be viewed as a positive development because it helps with cultural diffusion and would help with the understanding of the culture of others.

No, I do not think that Amy Tan would approve of this cultural homogenization because she wants to preserve her culture and protect it from external influences.

The way in which the Jongs got their first chess set was at the Christmas party held at First Chinese Baptist Church.

Mrs Jong told them she does not want the game when they get home..

Some of the ways in which Waverly's mother shows that she is ambitious is by teaching her daughter the art of invisible strength so she can win the chess competition.

The conflict which arose as a result of their success of Waverly was the fact that her mother was overbearing, making Waverly lose some of her love for chess.

The meaning of the fantasy that Waverly has at end of the story is that she imagines playing her mother in chess. Her next move would be to quit playing chess for some time.

The choice of the title of the story is apt because it shows that there are rules by which a person that wants to be successful at chess must have to abide by, even though some of the "rules" were overbearing

Who is Mrs. Jong?

She is a fictional character from the book Rules of the Game as she was a culturally inclined woman who tried to teach her daughter about avoiding open confrontations.

Hence,

A = 2(4.1+2.5)

A = 13.2.

Answers

A .people profit from war

The subtext of Eliot Rosewater saying what is attractive about war is people profit from war. The correct option is a.

What is subtext?

The subtext is any content of a creative work, which is not announced explicitly by characters or authors, but is implicit, or becomes something understood by the audience. Subtext has been used historically to imply controversial subjects without drawing the attention or wrath of censors.

This has been especially true in comedy; it is also common in science fiction, where it can be easier and safer to deliver a social critique if, e.g., set in a time other than the author's present. Subtext also may be included in the action of narratives, with secondary themes expressed to appeal to a general audience; such approaches to sexual or otherwise more adult story content, in works accessible to the young, often fail to register for the young reader, though adults will understand perhaps even appreciating the mental stimulation offered them, in catching the child-invisible nuances.
