Read the passage and answer the question that follows: Despite our best efforts as parents, we will always make mistakes in raising our children. It's inevitable. There are so many decisions to be made in any given day, week, month, or year. It's an inhuman task to make all of these decisions correctly. Who would even want to try for perfection? We shouldn't worry too much, though, because it is precisely our mistakes that teach our children the most about life. Life is full of mistakes, obstacles, and trouble. Shielding our children from these by striving for perfection in our own parenting does them no favors. Given this, a parent might be tempted to give up trying to make good decisions and simply let the chips fall where they may. Admittedly, that attitude is not without its benefits, but it goes too far in the other direction. Children are much more observant than we think, but often draw the wrong conclusions from what they observe. If we give up trying to make the right decisions, they might get the message that we don't care about their future. We can take comfort in this much: we teach our children even when we're not trying to. That doesn't mean we should stop trying to do our best, to make the right decisions whenever possible. It just means that we shouldn't beat ourselves up when we make mistakes. Either it won't matter because it's something small, or it just might build some character in our children, a commodity that will serve them well. Which of these best describes the audience this author is speaking to? People who are considering becoming parents People who do not want to have children People who are concerned about their parenting ability People who have children who misbehave

Answer :

In "In my mom's shoes", the mother's shoes represent Chow's grief and her memories of her mother to her.

In the lines 'It's easy to remember her wearing these shoes — and not for yachting. They were as much a part of her look as her wry grin and the way she'd try to wink but instead only be able to blink both eyes. They were on her feet at the barn when she would take me to ride.' we can feel the narrator reminisce about the happy times spent with her mother.

The lines 'They're still impeccably soft, though. I can feel her imprint in them; my big toe aligns with hers, and the backs of my heels are cupped by the dents her own must have formed' again has the narrator comparing her feet to her mother and listing down the similarities.

The narrator remembers her mother and feels she is time-travelling in the lines ' I imagine all this perspiration and what's captured in it — bits of skin and lint, maybe — mingling with the remnants of my mom's, hers decades old' and imagines her skin and sweat mixing  with her mother's like she was present with her. She feels qi, the Chinese energy circulating from her feet and into her shoes and that of her mother circulating back to her.

In the lines 'But later, in a fit of panic, I hear that a former roommate is moving out, and I worry they might launch a cleaning at my old house. I compose a text: Hey, have you seen this other shoe? And I attach a photo of the shoe, my hand wrapped around it like I'm holding a fish.'even though the narrator decides that the other shoe would have found a home of its own by now, she gets panicky and out of her grief and attachment for the shoes she sends a message to her roommates inquiring about it. She is overjoyed when one of her roommates sends her back the other shoe. She is utterly attached to the shoes and decides to wear them when her skin is dry and there is nothing to stain the shoes.

Without the specific text of 'In My Mom's Shoes', it's difficult to provide a definite answer. Typically in literature, shoes can symbolize the journey or burdens of the person who wears them. The specific context and details from the text of 'In My Mom's Shoes' would be necessary to give a more precise interpretation.

Unfortunately, without having the specific text of 'In My Mom's Shoes', it's hard to accurately discern what her mother's shoes represent for Chow. Generally in literature, shoes can often symbolize the responsibilities, hardships, or the journey of the person who wears them. In this case, it may represent the mother's struggle or journey. Specific evidence from the text would be required to give a more accurate analysis.

Based on the provided information, we know that mothers are often underappreciated and disrespected despite their significant roles (Crittenden). Dongguan, where one-third of all shoes are produced, may highlight the connection between global labor, often done by women, and the shoes. Again, without the specific text these connections are assumptions.

Sally threw her bike and ran towards the house. She wanted to figure out what made that loud noise coming from in the house. She knocked on the door shouting, "Hello? Anyone there?" No one answered but the loud noise continued to play. She grabbed a bobby pin from her hair that her mother put up this morning and used it to unlock the door. Once she got in, she searched to find the noise. It wasn't in the living room, it wasn't in the kitchen, and it surely wasn't in the bedrooms. Sally looked up and noticed there was a string attached to a little panel on the roof. She pulled on the string and down came a ladder, leading up to the attic. She braced herself for what was about to come, climbing up the steps slowly. Sally peered into the room to see a bright lit up T.V. with a person she's never seen before watching it. The stranger looked at her and became shocked, turned off the TV, and tried to run past her to get out of the house. The attic was shut though, so the stranger needed to take some time to put it down. Sally stopped the stranger, who appeared to be a male, and questioned him, "What are you doing in this house? The real owners are on vacation right now!" The stranger didn't answer, finally opened the attic door and ran out the house as fast as he could. Sally tried to run after him, but she was much slower. The guy was no where in sight when she got outside. Sally immediately called the owners of the house and told them about this incident, and the man was never in there again.

This is a short suspense story about a girl named Sally. She rushes home in fear, abandoning her bike in the yard. Once safely inside, she realizes it may have all been her imagination.

Sally threw her bike and ran towards the house, her heart pounding against her ribs. The wind whistled in her ears and her feet felt almost weightless with fear. Behind her, the bike lay sprawled on the grass, the evening sun shimmering off the silver frame.

She bolted up the steps to the door flung them open, and ducked inside. The hallway was dark and cool, a sharp contrast to the golden sunlight outside. Panting for breath, Sally dared to glance over her shoulder. There was nothing. The front yard and the quiet street beyond were empty.

Pulling the door shut, Sally leaned back against it, allowing herself a sigh of relief. Maybe it was all her imagination running wild and nothing was chasing her at all. She tidied up, brushing off any lingering fear, before making her way to her room.

Alexander the Great continued exploring even though his Greek soldiers quit.

The passage emphasizes that he is too curious to stop exploring and even though his soldiers were tired of fighting and homesick ( they have been fighting for a decade!) he called his close friend Nearchus and sent them to investigate the coast of India by ship.

We know by further investigation that he went on the expedition called the Indian campaign and he recorded his investigations in detail. He went as far as the Euphrates before turning back to rejoin Alexander at Susa, in early 324 BC.

Answer:  The correct answer is : The figurative language used by Naomi Shihab Nye is the metaphor

Explanation:  Her poetic stories become metaphors that define human life. Her verses contain many images that describe the ordinary perceived as extraordinary. Metaphors help beautify a description. Metaphor is a concept or expression of an idea or word that is not directly described but compared to another element in order to understand it. For example, Naomi uses this metaphor to refer to Alfred's wonderful voice: How can a giant whale live in the small puddle of his chest?

In 'Hugging the Jukebox' by Naomi Shihab Nye, the figurative language refers to the use of imagery, metaphors, and similes. Through these literary devices, Nye vividly conveys the emotions and scenarios in the poem. The act of hugging a jukebox is metaphorically represented and serves as an epiphany for the narrator.

The figurative language in 'Hugging the Jukebox' by Naomi Shihab Nye, refers to the imagery, metaphors, and similes used by the author to convey the emotions, ideas, or scenarios in the poem. Nye uses Figurative language such as metaphors, and similes combined with Imagery to create an evocative portrayal of hugging a jukebox. Reading the poem, we can visualize a hug between two people as the jukebox and the hugging individual, and it's akin to a key fitting into a lock, or a square peg fitting through the square hole, representing the perfect matching of two different elements.

Metaphors and similes serve as the main forms of figurative language in this poem. These forms derive from comparing one thing to another indirectly (simile) or directly (metaphor). Just as it has been referred to in the poem, the act of hugging a jukebox is an epiphany providing a flash of intuitive understanding to the narrator.
