Read this passage. In your own words, explain how the central conflict leads Millicent to change.
Then the girls had led her here, blindfolded still, through the corridors of Betsy Johnson's house and shut her in the cellar. It would be an hour before they came to get her, but then Rat Court would be all over and she would say what she had to say and go home. For tonight was the grand finale, the trial by fire. There really was no doubt now that she would get in. She could not think of anyone who had ever been invited into the high school sorority and failed to get through initiation time. But even so, her case would be quite different. She would see to that. She could not exactly say what had decided her revolt, but it definitely had something to do with Tracy and something to do with the heather birds. —"Initiation," Sylvia Plath

Answers

Answer 1

The central conflict of this excerpt is reflected in the way in which Millicent begins to reflect if she really wants and if she really needs to be part of the fraternity. This doubt shows Millicent that she can have good experiences in being part of the fraternity, but it requires her to lose her individuality and that doesn't seem advantageous and positive.

This conflict is very important in the narrative of "Initiation," Sylvia Plath. In this short story, the author reinforces the idea that having friends is good, but losing one's personality, individuality and what makes each individual unique is disadvantageous. In that case, if a friendship forces that loss of individuality, that friendship isn't worth it.

What does having “a place by the window” mean? Why does Esperanza use the word baptized instead of “change”? What other words do we associate with baptism? My Name by Sandra Cisneros

Answers

Answer:

Having “a place by the window” means standing still while watching life go by.

The word "baptized" means that Esperanza would like to have the ability to change her name since birth and not change it now, after she has grown up.

We can associate the word "baptized", in this story, the word "reborn", "resurge".

Explanation:

In "My Name" by Sandra Cisneros we learn about Esperanza's thoughts on her name. She believes that her name does not have a good cootation, a good story and does not fit well among English speakers.

She recalls that she has the same name as her grandmother, who was a very strong woman, but who was trapped in an undesirable marriage, unable to experience life's opportunities and just watching life go by and time go by. Experanza does not want to have that destination, although she has the same name as Grandma.

Experanza wants to have a better life and believes that changing her name would be a good first step, but she didn't want to change her name now, she wanted to be baptized with another name, which indicates that she wanted to be reborn and have a different life.

Read this excerpt fromThe Great Fire.

As soon as the first shouts of "Fire!" were heard, scores of people swarmed toward De Koven Street. Many helped their neighbors fight the fire or drag furniture and clothes to the safety of the street. Most stood by watching the yellow-orange flames leaping from roof to roof and listening to the horrible crackle pop of dry pine being consumed. Fires were extremely common back then and thought to be as exciting and dramatic as a night at the theater.
Which statement best describes the effect of people shouting, “Fire!”?
A. Most residents ignored the warning and stayed inside.
B. Most residents volunteered to help extinguish the blaze.
C. Most residents came out to watch the blaze.

They all drew to the fire, mother in the big chalr, with Beth at her feet, Meg and Amy perched on either arm of the chalr, and Jo leaning on the back, where no one would see any sign of emotion if the letter should happen to be touching. Very few letters were written in those hard times that were not touching, especially those which fathers sent home. In this one little was sald of the hardships endured, the dangers faced, or the home-sickness conquered; It was a cheerful, hopeful letter, full of lively descriptions of camp life, marches, and military news; and only at the end did the writer's heart overflow with fatherly love and longing for the little girls at home. "Glve them all my dear love and a kiss. Tell them I think of them by day, pray for them by night, and find my best comfort in their affection at all times. A year seems very long to wait before I see them, but remind them that while we wait we may all work, so that these hard days need not be wasted. I know they will remember all I said to them, that they will be loving children to you, will do their duty faithfully, fight their bosom enemies bravely, and conquer themselves so beautifully, that when I come back to them I may be fonder and prouder than ever of my little women." Everybody sniffed when they came to that part; Jo wasn't ashamed of the great tear that dropped off the end of her nose, and Amy never minded the rumpling of her curls as she hid her face on her mother's shoulder and sobbed out, "I am a selfish pig! but I'll truly try to be better, so he mayn't be disappointed in me by and by." "We all will!" cried Meg. "I think too much of my looks, and hate to work, but won't any more, if I can help it."

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is Stanley’s grandfather falling in love with Myra Menke.

Explanation:

  A flashback is a narrative technique (literary, cinematographic ...) that takes the temporal narration back to a past event, almost always with the intention of locating something important for the configuration of the present character or situation developed.

In the book Holes, the use of this technique is what makes the reader have more than one time frame and perspective.

In this chapter, the story of Stanley's family is developed a little more, in this case that of his grandfather.
