Read this excerpt from Holes. The judge called Stanley's crime despicable. "The shoes were valued at over five thousand dollars. It was money that would provide food and shelter for the homeless. And you stole that from them, just so you could have a souvenir." The judge said that there was an opening at Camp Green Lake, and he suggested that the discipline of the camp might improve Stanley's character. It was either that or jail. Stanley's parents asked if they could have some time to find out more about Camp Green Lake, but the judge advised them to make a quick decision. "Vacancies don't last long at Camp Green Lake." Why does Sachar include this description of Stanley's trial? to show the reader that Stanley should have had a lawyer to show the reader that Camp Green Lake is a popular destination to show the reader how unfairly Stanley is treated by people of authority to show the reader how valuable Clyde Livingston's shoes actually were

why does the narrator from "mending wall" want the wall to come down?​

Answers

Answer:

Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,

That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it

And spills the upper boulders in the sun,

And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.

The work of hunters is another thing: 5

I have come after them and made repair

Where they have left not one stone on a stone,

But they would have the rabbit out of hiding,

To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean,

No one has seen them made or heard them made, 10

But at spring mending-time we find them there.

I let my neighbor know beyond the hill;

And on a day we meet to walk the line

And set the wall between us once again.

We keep the wall between us as we go. 15

To each the boulders that have fallen to each.

And some are loaves and some so nearly balls

We have to use a spell to make them balance:

“Stay where you are until our backs are turned!”

We wear our fingers rough with handling them. 20

Oh, just another kind of outdoor game,

One on a side. It comes to little more:

There where it is we do not need the wall:

He is all pine and I am apple orchard.

My apple trees will never get across 25

And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.

Answers

Hello. You didn't talk about what text this question refers to. This does not allow me to answer your question exactly, but I can help you by showing you the concept of noun clauses, as well as examples that will help you find the clauses you need in your text.

A noun clause is a dependent sentence within a sentence that acts as a noun, most of the time, however, this type of clause can assume the role of other grammatical classes as a subject, a direct and indirect object, within others. It is important to note that a noun is the grammatical class that has the ability to name any element, in this case, the noun clause must also be able to name something.

Examples of this type of clause can be:

"Whatever you say is not in my interest" where "Whatever you say" is naming something and representing the noun clause.

"I know that it happened", where "that it happened" is also naming something.

What actions do the husband, wife, and their neighbors do again in and again because of their fear of outsiders? How does this reveal the story's theme?Once upon a time

Answers

Answer:

The Husband, Wife, and Neighbours due to Xenophobia kept increasing the security apparatus of their living space.

It is interesting to note that the fear was not based on fact or any logical deduction. For instance, one family had a maid that was an outsider working on the inside of their home. Not once did they think that she could harm them. Yet, they would install various kinds of technology to protect themselves from potentially harmful outsiders that never even showed up for once.

The theme of the story is captured in one word - Xenophobia. Xenophobia is simply a fear of outsiders. An expounded version would be the Dangers of Xenophobia.

Hello. You forgot to mention that this question is about the poem "Mother to Son."

Answer and Explanation:

1. planning a path to reach them and striving to walk that path through hard work, effort and dedication. In addition, it is necessary that we do not lose focus and have the intelligence to move forward in a consistent and progressive way.

2. Adverse circumstances tend to negatively influence our walk, so it is necessary that we have a resilient and focused personality, that way we will be able to move forward and shape ourselves as circumstances require, but without losing focus and abandon the walk to the goal . A person's status can also be influential in this regard. This is because we will not always be able to reach our goals alone, we often need help and our status is one of the biggest determinants of the help we may or may not get.

3. According to the poem, people overcome adversity through resilience. This means that people recognize adversity and recognize that life is difficult, but even so they continue to struggle to advance and overcome problems. This is shown in the poem when the mother says that her life has never been easy, she has never had anything on a silver platter, but she keeps walking, fighting and moving forward, even though circumstances say she is not capable.

What makes Antigone a rebel?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

1. The conclusion about the Eldest Magician the excerpt supports is the one in the first alternative: "The Eldest Magician has a good sense of humor." He calls the Man lazy in a very humorous way, and even tells the man his children are lazy too, and names them Malazy- the lazy people. The fact the Eldest Magician named Man's children in such an amusing way, joking with Malaysia, the country, shows how good his sense of humor is. Instead of being mad at the Eldest Magician, the Man went along with his joking and replied: "If I am to be lazy all my days, let the Sea work for me twice a day forever. That will save paddling." At that, the Eldest Magician laughed and agreed it was fair enough, which showed his nice sense of humor, as well as the good vibes within him.

2. Antigone's action as a rebel shows that she can break the rules for her principles, revealing that women are as capable as men.
