They say the people could fly. Say that long ago in Africa, some of the people knew magic. And they would walk up on the air like climbin up on a gate. And they flew like blackbirds over the fields. Black, shiny wings flappin against the blue up there.
Then, many of the people were captured for Slavery. The ones that could fly shed their wings. They couldn’t take their wings across the water on the slave ships. Too crowded, don’t you know.
—“The People Could Fly,”
Virginia Hamilton

Read this excerpt from Anne Frank Remembered.

That day I walked to Gestapo headquarters. The red-and-black swastika flew from the flagpole. Uniformed Germans were everywhere. It was a well-known fact that people who entered this building did not always leave it again. I entered the building and inquired of the soldiers on guard where this Austrian had his office.

I was told which office, and went directly there. It was a medium-sized room, filled with desks, all occupied by workers who were busily typing. The Austrian's desk was in the corner of the room. He sat behind it facing me when I entered. His name was Karl Silberbauer.

I went up to his desk and stood with my back to the typists. I'd been thrown off by the fact that he wasn't alone, so all I did was stand there, briefly looking into his eyes. Any spoken words would have been audible throughout the room, so I just stood and didn't say a word. All I did was rub my thumb against the two fingers beside it, the index finger and the middle finger – the sign for money.

Why does Miep choose to visit Gestapo headquarters?

A. She is no longer afraid of the Germans.
B. She seeks a friendship with the Austrian.
C. She believes the Austrian owes her money.
D. She is desperate to find help for her friends.

What attitude does Nene display toward Nnaemeka’s cultural upbringing? What words reveal this attitude?

Answers

The words reveal this attitude as an attitude of bewilderment. We can see this in the phrase: " I had always thought you Ibos were kindly disposed to other people.”

The description of a station is a way of feeling or acting toward a person, thing, or situation. Passion for a sport, dislike for a certain actor, and negativity toward life, in general, are each an illustration of a station. When Nene is talking to her fiancée, she wonders why he's so discouraged and indecisive about telling his father about the marriage. Nnaemeka starts explaining that not all parents reply happily when their son gets married to a person they did not choose. The words" I had always allowed you Ibos were kindly disposed to other people ”, indicate that she's bewildered by this disclosure when she had allowed that there would be no problem with accepting her into their family.

As Will's father enters the elevator, there isn't any smoke from the cigarettes. There are three people who have been smoking and there has been a cloud of smoke in the elevator each time someone got on. Why do you believe the author doesn't include smoke this time?

Answers

Answer:

The author does not include the smoke this time to give the feeling of breathability, which alludes to freedom.

Explanation:

This question is about "Long Way Down".

The elevator has a strong symbolism in this story because it represents the prison and the claustrophobic feeling that is inside Will's mind that cannot deviate from thoughts of revenge, mistakes, failure, fear and grief. When the author includes quotes about cigarette smoke from the ghosts who are with Will, the elevator takes on the symbolism of a suffocating and unbreathable environment, which is how Will's thoughts present themselves.

However, when the elevator reaches its destination, the ghosts disappear and the smoke disappears, creating a breathable environment. When the author stops citing smoke, he shows that the elevator can have another meaning, that of restart and freedom and that is Will's chance to follow that meaning.

It was Christmas eve morning and when i woke up i could smell moms famous double chocolate pancakes with whipped cream on top. I rushed down stairs still in my plaid red pajama shirt and plain black leggings with my fuzzy slippers, and there my mom was in the kitchen with her apron that says "Merry Christmas" in bright red lettering, around the lettering were green Mistletoe's. "Good morning Lilly" my mom said to me with the biggest smile on her face. "good morning mom, wheres dad and Sarah?" i asked with a confused look on my face because we all usually gather on the island talking to mother, but this morning was different. "oh hunny, your father had to go to work early and you sister is with him" her smile got smaller as she told me that. "but they will be back in time for dinner right?" "yes Lilly, your father only had to be there for a couple of hours then him and your sister will be on there way home in no time!" her smile got bigger again. "Why don't you go get dressed while i finish up breakfast." "Okay" i said with a smile and rushed upstairs as quickly as i could to come back and eat.
