In this excerpt from Jack London's short story "To Build a Fire," which two sentences best show that the protagonist could be seen as prideful in his abilities rather than ignorant of his surroundings?
But he was safe. Toes and nose and cheeks would be only touched by the frost, for the fire was beginning to burn with strength.[ He was feeding it with twigs the size of his finger.] In another minute he would be able to feed it with branches the size of his wrist, and then he could remove his wet foot-gear, and, while it dried, he could keep his naked feet warm by the fire, rubbing them at first, of course, with snow. The fire was a success. He was safe. He remembered the advice of the old-timer on Sulphur Creek, and smiled. The old-timer had been very serious in laying down the law that no man must travel alone in the Klondike after fifty below. Well, here he was; he had had the accident; he was alone; and he had saved himself. [Those old-timers were rather womanish, some of them, he thought.] All a man had to do was to keep his head, and he was all right.[ Any man who was a man could travel alone.] But it was surprising, the rapidity with which his cheeks and nose were freezing. And he had not thought his fingers could go lifeless in so short a time.[ Lifeless they were, for he could scarcely make them move together to grip a twig, and they seemed remote from his body and from him.]
Answer:
[Those old-timers were rather womanish, some of them, he thought.]
[ Any man who was a man could travel alone.]
Explanation:
That he was able to create and keep himself warm and alive in an environment that according to old-timers, no man could confront is evident in these sentences. He is a snob and thinks everyone else is a fool. His face and hands freeze so quickly that he can hardly move them. He feels he has beaten them and the weather.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
"Those old-timers were rather womanish, some of them, he thought."
"Any man who was a man could travel alone."
Explanation:
These two statements show that the main character thinks he is better than the locals who advised against going alone in the Klondike. He believes that their advise is unneeded and that, even under difficult circumstances, he is capable of taking care of himself. This self-confidence and independence might cause him to underrate environmental threats and take unwarranted risks.

Darla’s aunt gave her a book, and her uncle gave her a baseball glove. She loved them both.
Which answer choice best corrects the vague pronoun in these sentences?
A. Darla’s aunt and uncle gave her a book and a baseball glove. She loved them both.
B. A book from her aunt and a baseball glove from her uncle were both lovely presents for Darla.
C. Darla’s aunt gave her a book, and her uncle gave her a baseball glove. Darla loved both presents.
D. Darla’s aunt gave Darla a book, and Darla’s uncle gave Darla a baseball glove.Darla loved them both.
Answer:
I believe the answer is D
Explanation:
Knowing that a female pronoun is repeated used in the sentences, it'd make sense to be more specific as to who is referring to who considering that it gets confusing otherwise and is also considered an incorrect pronoun. In other words, specifics are important in a sentence, and D is the only one that seems to give any specifics, though I apologize if I'm incorrect.
Answer:
Hi there! Your answer here is C. Darla's aunt gave her a book, and her uncle gave her a baseball glove. Darla loved both presents.
A vague pronoun in a sentence can be confusing because it does not refer clearly to a specific person or object in the sentence. In this question, the sentences provided initially do not clarify whether "both" refers to Darla's aunt and uncle or to her presents. Answer Choice C best clarifies that Darla loves the presents she was given.

What does this quote mean "So what I did, I wrote about my brother Allie’s baseball mitt. It was a very descriptive subject. It really was. My brother Allie had this left-handed fielder’s mitt. He was left-handed." No links pretty please
Answer:
Allie’s baseball mitt is extremely important to Holden in The Catcher in the Rye. It is a symbol of Allie since it was important to his brother. It keeps Holden grounded when he is falling apart, as it is the only remembrance Holden has of Allie, whom he misses and loves very much.
The mitt is a replacement of sorts for Allie. Since Allie’s death, Holden has not been able to deal with his loss. When he died, Holden punched in the garage windows and broke his hand. Because of his injury, he was in the hospital and missed Allie’s funeral. He keeps Allie’s glove as a comforting force whenever he needs it.
Holden keeps Allie close to him by keeping his fielder’s mitt with him. When Holden writes Stradlater’s descriptive essay, he chooses the glove as his subject. He could have chosen anything at all to write about, but the glove is the only thing he can think of. “I happened to have it with me” he says. It is a safe assumption that when Holden packed his bags to leave for school, he packed both necessary and meaningful items. His family is wealthy, so he could have brought anything he wanted to school. He chose to bring his brother’s mitt because Allie was important to him; it was not by chance that he had it with him.
Holden becomes angry with Stradlater for berating the essay not because he’s offended at the insult to his work, but because he feels Allie has been insulted. By complaining about the essay, Stradlater unknowingly is lashing out at the mitt—which by extension is attacking Allie. Holden’s attitude toward Stradlater becomes “cold as hell,” and he defends Allie. “You said it had to be descriptive. What the hell’s the difference if it’s about a baseball glove?” Holden will not share the reason why the glove is so important; he only shares with people he cares about, like Jane. Stradlater could never understand or appreciate the significance of that mitt, so Holden tears up the essay.
The mitt gives Holden comfort in his otherwise troubled life. He makes excuses to himself for choosing to write about the mitt, but the truth is that it keeps him grounded. He admits, “I sort of liked writing about it.” The poems that Allie wrote on the glove are part of what makes it so special. “He wrote them on it so that he’d have something to read when he was in the field and nobody was up at bat.” Holden likes reading those words simply because Allie is the one who wrote them, so the words are an extension of Allie. Thus, Allie’s mitt serves as a catharsis for Holden.
Explanation:
In chapter 5, Holden agrees to write a descriptive composition for his roommate, Stradlater, who is going on a date with Jane Gallagher. When Stadlater leaves for his date, Holden has a difficult time thinking of descriptive things to write about and decides to write the composition on his deceased brother's baseball mitt. Holden says,
"So what I did, I wrote about my brother Allie’s baseball mitt. It was a very descriptive subject. It really was. My brother Allie had this left-handed fielder’s mitt. He was left-handed. The thing that was descriptive about it, though, was that he had poems written all over the fingers and the pocket and everywhere. In green ink. He wrote them on it so that he’d have something to read when he was in the field and nobody was up at bat" (Salinger, 23).
Allie's baseball mitt represents his unique, sensitive personality. Holden goes on to describe his deceased brother and mentions that Allie was intelligent and fun to be around. Holden also says that the day his brother died, he broke all the windows in his parents' car and spent the night in the garage. Holden's reaction to his brother's death reveals that it was a traumatic moment in Holden's life.
2. Holden also says,
"Old Allie’s baseball mitt. I happened to have it with me, in my suitcase, so I got it out and copied down the poems that were written on it" (Salinger, 24).
The fact that Holden keeps Allie's mitt with him is significant and represents his love for his deceased brother. Holden has clearly not gotten over the death of his younger brother, which contributes to his anxiety and stress.
3. In chapter 11, Holden mentions that Jane Gallagher is the only person he ever showed Allie's mitt to, which illustrates his affinity and affection for Jane. Holden says,
"She was the only one, outside my family, that I ever showed Allie’s baseball mitt to, with all the poems written on it. She’d never met Allie or anything, because that was her first summer in Maine—before that, she went to Cape Cod—but I told her quite a lot about him" (Salinger, 48).

what rhetorical devices does this passage represent below?
It frightens me because I wonder: do i have the right to represent the multitudes who have perished? Do I have the right to accept this great honor on their behalf? ... I do not. That
would be presumptuous. No one may speak for the dead, no one may interpret their mutilated dreams and visions.
Answer:
Wiesel wonders if he has the right to accept a medal on behalf of “multitudes” and secondly whether he has the right to accept “on their behalf.” Restatement and repetition in this question's phrasing makes it clear that the central idea is being discussed.
“Both frightens and pleases me.” In the following paragraph he explains why it frightens him and then, in a second paragraph, why it pleases him. Even though Wiesel discusses an emotional issue, he does it with clear logic and organization.
"Do I have the right to accept this great honor on their behalf? ... I do not. That would be presumptuous. Even if his topic is extremely emotive, this reaction displays logical thinking and is, thus, persuasive.

Explanation:
Michael Harris (born 1948) is a Canadian investigative journalist, radio personality, documentary filmmaker, novelist, iPolitics columnist and the author of nine books.[1]
Born in Toronto, Ontario, to Audrey McDonald (née Tilley) and James McDonald, Harris is a graduate of York University in Toronto, and was a Woodrow Wilson Scholar (University College in Dublin, Ireland). His work has sparked four Royal Commissions of Inquiry.
Harris went to Newfoundland in 1977, as a story editor for CBC Television owned-and-operated station CBNT's newscast Here and Now,[2] before becoming in 1986 the founding publisher and editor-in-chief of The Sunday Express weekly in St. John's, nationally recognized as "the best little newspaper in Canada."[3] There he broke the Mount Cashel orphanage abuse story[4] and the Sprung Greenhouse boondoggle.[3] Later he went on to become the Executive Director of News and Current Affairs for the Newfoundland Broadcasting Company, then owner of the local CTV Television Network affiliate CJON (NTV).
Harris was at one time a Queen's Park correspondent for the National Post, The Globe and Mail as Atlantic Bureau Chief and later a senior parliamentary correspondent in Ottawa.[1]
In Ottawa Harris hosted an afternoon radio talk show, Michael Harris Live, on Ottawa-based CFRA, and was a columnist for The Ottawa Sun newspaper until March 2011.[5][6] Michael Harris Live on CFRA Ottawa was cancelled February 9, 2012.[7] He is now a columnist for the website iPolitics.
His book 1986 book Justice Denied: The Law Versus Donald Marshall detailed the story of Donald Marshall, Jr.’s wrongful conviction in 1972. His investigative journalism culminating in the book Unholy Orders: Tragedy at Mount Cashel, triggered the Hughes Inquiry into the allegations of abuse at the Mount Cashel Orphanage. Harris also authored Rare Ambition: The Crosbies of Newfoundland, Con Game: The Truth About Canada’s Prisons and Lament for an Ocean: The Collapse of the Atlantic Cod Fishery. Elizabeth May, the executive director of the Sierra Club of Canada called it "The definitive book on the cod catastrophe ... After reading this book, you wouldn't trust Fisheries and Oceans Canada with your aquarium".[8] His 1976 novel Outrider on Yonge Street was never published.[2]
Harris is married and has two daughters. As of 2011 he hosted Ottawa's annual "Alzheimers Flame of Hope Golf Tournament" (his mother, who died in 2009, suffered from the disease), and divided his time between his homes in Ottawa, Ontario and Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. He was the visiting Irving Chair in Journalism at St. Thomas University in New Brunswick.
