Write a character sketch for your protagonist in your Module One short story condensed milk and Include literal, interpretive, and evaluative information. Your character sketch should be 3–5 complete sentences and include at least three specific details from the text to support your character analysis.
Answer and Explanation:
As the name suggests, a character sketch is a type of draft or summary of a character. It is often used by writers to build their characters before they begin writing the story. Character sketches take into consideration the character's personality, appearance, feelings, actions etc. In this case, we are building a sketch of an already existing character - from the story "Condensed Milk."
Character sketch:
The narrator is an unnamed adult man, most likely an intellectual who was somehow involved in politics. He is sick and exhausted after being sent to a Gulag. His main concern is his own survival, but he still has the ability to see and care about the suffering of others. Despite his mental and physical exhaustion, he remains clever and clear-minded enough to escape danger and even deceive the one trying to get him into trouble.
Evidence for the sketch above:
The narrator is an unnamed adult man, most likely an intellectual who was somehow involved in politics. - "There was no reason for us politicals to be there..."
He is sick and exhausted after being sent to a Gulag. - "Inside there was only an empty scorched sensation, and we were indifferent to everything, making plans no further than the next day." "I rolled up my pants and showed the breaks in the skin from scurvy."
His main concern is his own survival, but he still has the ability to see and care about the suffering of others. Despite his mental and physical exhaustion, he remains clever and clear-minded enough to escape danger and even deceive the one trying to get him into trouble. - "It was, of course, a weak, worthless act of vengeance just like all my feelings. But what else could I do? Warn the others? I didn’t know them. But they needed a warning."

Of course, neural networks still have a long way to go before they can model the human brain. As physicist
Heinz Pagels has said: "The difference between a real neuron and the model neurons... is like the difference
between a human hand and a pair of pliers." But the fact that a simple neural network can speak at all is
remarkable, indicating that perhaps human abilities can be simulated by electronics....
Which is the most accurate summary of Kaku's argument?
O The simulated speech of neural networks suggests the potential for other electronic simulations.
O Neural networks are vastly inferior to the human brain, and critics question whether they can speak at all.
Neural networks are vastly different from the human brain, just as pliers are different from the human hand.
O Electronic simulation of speech suggests that technological ability will eventually exceed human potential.
Answer:
A. The simulated speech of neural networks suggests the potential for other electronic simulations.
Explanation:
The given excerpt is taken from the book entitled 'Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century' by Michio Kaku. The book is about how scientific revolutions are reshaping the 21st century.
In the given excerpt, physicist Kaku is asserting that simulated speech of neural networks suggests the potential for other electronic simulations. Kaku is remarking here that neural networks still is not fully developed yet.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
Answer:
A. The simulated speech of neural networks suggests the potential for other electronic simulations.
Explanation:
Just took the test, made a 100 on EDG.
How do structure and language create meaning in Dickinson's poetry?
Answer:
The relative simplicity and monotony of her verse forms contribute to the difficulty of reading Dickinson in large quantities at single sittings, but one never fails to sense and remember her unique poetic genius. Her stanza forms and rhythmical nuances continuously contribute brilliantly to her effects.
Explanation:
Answer:
Emily Dickinson uses a unique style of structure that often includes extensive dashes, dots, and unconventional capitalization, in addition to vivid imagery and idiosyncratic vocabulary. Instead of using pentameter, she was more inclined to use trimester, tetrameter, and even dimeter at times. Dickinson's sense of humor and her skepticism help communicate the urgencies of her lack of faith and need to solidify her beliefs or dissolve her doubts, and she would have compromised her subversive message had she written in a more common or conventional form. So in short, her structure and language help convey her meaning because she was discussing ideas in a way that helped convey her message to readers in a way where they would comprehend it as she had initially intended.

A 1. How does the school bus become a more meaningful symbol as the plot unfolds?
O It becomes another thing to fear, just like the burnings and the nightmen.
It proves that education is Cassie's only sure ticket out of Strawberry.
O It reminds sharecroppers that they can't challenge an unjust system.
O It motivates the Logan children to stand up and fight for their dignity.
Answer: It motivates the Logan children to stand up and fight for their dignity.
Explanation:
Cassey and her brothers were going to the school on foot as the other black children. In the beginning, Cassie is explaining to her youngest brother that only white people are allowed to go to school on the school bus.
Later on, white children were yelling bad words from the bus at them and they were angry and sad. It was rainy weather and Cassie and her brothers decided to dig a hole in the road. The school bus crashed and white children were having to go on foot to home.
Nobody was really mad at them except for white people, but that was their way to fight for dignity because they were living in a small place where racism is huge.

at the Olympics. [2]
Answer:

Which of these words has a prefix that means with?
Answer:
I think the answer is Converge
Explanation:
Converge traces back to the Latin word vergere, meaning “to bend or to turn." The prefix con- means "with," a good way to remember that things that converge come together. Don't confuse it with diverge, which means the opposite: "move away," because the prefix “dis-” means “apart.”

Part A What is the author's point of view toward Azy's vocabulary mistake in "The Think Tank"? O The mistake is a major setback in Shumaker's research. O The mistake suggests that Azy is bored with learning O The mistake helpfully reveals the way Azy's mind works O The mistake proves that orangutans resist learning. Part B Which evidence from the text best supports the answer to Part A? O "Azy, a 21-year-old male orangutan, had been scoring 100 percent on the day's vocabulary test-until now." O "Azy lifts his long, graceful hand and points to the symbol for cup "Orangs' mental abilities are the least understood of the great apes.'notes the biologist." "Maybe this can teach us a little bit about how he thinks."
Answer:
A) The correct answer is C) the mistake helpfully reveals the way Azy's mind works.
B) The correct option is D) "Maybe this can teach us a little bit about how he thinks."
Explanation:
A) Azy - an Orangutan in captivity which is being used for experiments in the behaviour of primates, especially learning, is presented with a bag containing food.
Azy is given options on a screen to select from, and instead of picking food, he picks another symbol which represents a container.
According to the researchers, the right answer would have been the symbol which connotes food. However, Shumaker is elated to note that the Orangutans have the ability to put things into categories.
B) In the last paragraph of the excerpt, Shumaker states that in his opinion, the mistake shows that Azy in his mind is learning or can put objects into categories and that that by itself could be a pointer to how Orangutans think.
