The document provides examples of misplaced modifiers and similes/metaphors with humorous comparisons. For misplaced modifiers, it gives sentence examples where the modifier is placed far from the word it modifies, resulting in unintended meanings. For similes/metaphors, it gives comparisons between people, actions, or objects that are amusingly unrelated or nonsensical, such as comparing a laugh to the sound a dog makes before throwing up. The purpose is to demonstrate incorrect grammar through misplaced modifiers and create humor through absurd similes and metaphors.

Ghosts in Maxine Kingstons The Woman Warrior Within or Without Ideology 1shafieyan
油
This document provides a summary and analysis of ghosts and ideology in Maxine Kingston's novel The Woman Warrior. It analyzes the concept of ghosts and ideology at three levels: family, village, and country. At the family level, it examines how Kingston's mother and aunt represent ideological forces that shape her. At the village level, it discusses how the repressive traditional village society attempts to maintain ideological control. At the country level, it explores the contradictions Kingston faces between Chinese and American cultures and ideologies. The document argues that Kingston both critiques ideologies and reveals the vulnerabilities within ideological systems through her use of ghosts and dichotomies in the novel.Gender discrimination

This document summarizes gender discrimination depicted in Chinua Achebe's novel Things Fall Apart. It discusses how the Igbo culture portrayed in the novel treats women as inferior to men and defines masculinity in a restrictive way. Specific examples provided include Okonkwo having multiple wives, viewing women only as tools for reproduction, and his strong desire to have a son. The culture also believes women are weak vessels and defines manhood as lacking emotion and being overly aggressive.Woman Warrior

The document summarizes and asks questions about the memoir "Woman Warrior" by Maxine Hong Kingston. Some of the key themes explored in the memoir include creating one's own identity and genre, the role of silence and storytelling in Chinese and immigrant culture, and struggling to find empowerment as a woman and immigrant. The memoir also blurs the lines between fiction and reality as Kingston reimagines and fabricates stories from her family's past.Woman Warrior Oral Presentation

The document discusses the theme of identity in Maxine Hong Kingston's book "The Woman Warrior". Kingston uses her own experience growing up Chinese-American to illustrate the identity crisis that comes with having double identities. She shows how without resolving this crisis, people can lose themselves or even go insane. Kingston particularly focuses on this issue for women, as they faced challenges to their identity in both American and Chinese cultures. The chapter title "A Song for a Barbarian Reed Pipe" represents Kingston's writing and her struggle to find her own identity, just as the character Ts'ai Yen faced a similar dilemma between two worlds.Spring 2011 9th Grade Reading Suggestions

油 油 油 油 油 James Baldwin
Son,
Last Sunday the host of a popular news show asked me what it meant to lose my body. The host was broadcasting from Washington, D.C., and I was seated in a remote studio on the Far West Side of Manhattan. A satellite closed the miles between us, but no machinery could close the gap between her world and the world for which I had been summoned to speak. When the host asked me about my body, her face faded from the screen, and was replaced by a scroll of words, written by me earlier that week.
The host read these words for the audience, and when she finished she turned to the subject of my body, although she did not mention it specifically. But by now I am accustomed to intelligent people asking about the condition of my body without realizing the nature of their request. Specifically, the host wished to know why I felt that white Americas progress, or rather the progress of those Americans who believe that they are white, was built on looting and violence. Hearing this, I felt an old and indistinct sadness well up in me. The answer to this question is the record of the believers themselves. The answer is American history.
This article is adapted from Coatess forthcoming book.
There is nothing extreme in this statement. Americans deify democracy in a way that allows for a dim awareness that they have, from time to time, stood in defiance of their God. This defiance is not to be much dwelled upon. Democracy is a forgiving God and Americas heresiestorture, theft, enslavementare specimens of sin, so common among individuals and nations that none can declare themselves immune. In fact, Americans, in a real sense, have never betrayed their God. When Abraham Lincoln declared, in 1863, that the battle of Gettysburg must ensure that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth, he was not merely being aspirational. At the onset of the Civil War, the United States of America had one of the highest rates of suffrage in the world. The question is not whether Lincoln truly meant government of the people but what our country has, throughout its history, taken the political term people to actually mean. In 1863 it did not mean your mother or your grandmother, and it did not mean you and me. As for now, it must be said that the elevation of the belief in being white was not achieved through wine tastings and ice-cream socials, but rather through the pillaging of life, liberty, labor, and land.
That Sunday, on that news show, I tried to explain this as best I could within the time allotted. But at the end of the segment, the host flashed a widely shared picture of a 12-year-old black boy tearfully hugging a white police officer. Then she asked me about hope. And I knew then that I had failed. And I remembered that I had expected to fail. And I wondered again at the indistinct sadness wellin ...8th grade
