In at least one hundred words, describe how Kamala Markandaya both draws upon and questions the cultural traditions of India in the early chapters of Nectar in a Sieve.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Life was rapidly changing for Indian farmers during the time "Nectar In A Sieve" was written.  The expansion of central government control and industrialization intruded tragically on their traditional farming lifestyle.  Traditional Indian living included trading crops:  this is how they created an income, and how they sustained their lifestyle; it was all they knew.  So when greater governmental control expanded to India, and industrialization expanded, things started happening like the government seizing farmers' land.  Without this, land farmers were not able to grow and produce crops to sell or trade for the things they needed to survive.  Including less food to eat.  So farmers were struggling to survive as all these new ways of life were intruding on their traditional lifestyles, and because the agricultural way of life was all they were taught was hard for farmers to adapt to the new industrialized changes.  The book follows the personal story of a farmer and his personal struggle with adapting to the changing world around him.  As well as it impacted his family and added stress this made on his life.

Answers

Answer:

Johnny loves his parents and tries to do everything he can to get their approval. No one matters as much to him as his parents do and no one can take their place. No matter how abusive his parents are he still tries to make them proud and happy. The violence in his home makes him very shy and kind. It also causes him to be a people pleaser; he tries to please others no matter how it effects his happiness. Towards the end of the book he stops caring about how his parents feel and he hates them. He hates them for hurting him even when he did nothing wrong and only tried to make them happy. He hates them for not loving him and for not noticing the things he does to make them happy, and not being proud of him and thankful for him.

What type of figurative language is the line, "I got out of bed as the sun peeked its head over the horizon."

Answers

Answer:

Personification.

Explanation:

Personification is a figurative language where a writer attributes human qualities to a non-human entity, an abstract idea or element. It allows the abstract idea or theme to have human characteristics, and make it seem like it is like a human.

So, in the given sentence, the sun is personified as a living human being that "peeked its head over the horizon". This act of "peeking" is a human quality where the sun is like a human being capable of human actions. Thus, the figurative language used in the given line is personification.
