Noah begins the book about being thrown from a moving car. Why do you think he chose to begin his narrative with this anecdote?

Answers

Answer:

Noah begins his book with an anecdote from his childhood when his mother threw him out of a moving car. Noah must have included this anecdote in his narrative to show his religious upbringing by his mother.

Explanation:

'Born A Crime' is a memoir of Trevor Noah. The account is the comedian's funny memoir and also sheds light on his childhood life in South Africa under apartheid.

He begins his narrative with an anecdote from his childhood when he was nine years old and thrown out of the moving car by his mother. Noah's mother was a very pious religious lady, who attended three churches on Sunday which would mean nine hours of time slot spend in attending Sunday services. Noah narrates an account of one Sunday, when their secondhand car broke down and would not start.  Usually, for people, car break down would mean staying back at home but for Noah's mother, it meant that the devil is stopping them and therefore, they shoudl go. That day they decided to travel through minibus to attend church service.

This anecdote reveals the religious upbringing of Noah by his mother. Other fact that is revealed through this incident is the absurdity of accepting Christianity by Africans. During apartheid, white men preached Christianity to Africans saying that Jesus can save them, and the saving they needed was from white men only.

Read the excerpt from the story The Big Move:

Sandeep and Den were best friends living on a small island off the coast of Maine. They weren't alike, but they were two peas in a pod. Den was usually calm, logical, and level headed, while Sandeep often reacted based on his emotions. Still, they did everything together. They biked down to the general store to spend their allowance every Saturday afternoon, spent their summers at the same camp, and took the ferry every morning to the same school on the mainland. In fact, the two were inseparable.

That is until one beautiful summer day when Den came over to Sandeep's house for lunch.

"We're moving," Den said.

"Ha! Yeah, right. What do you mean you're moving?" Sandeep replied.

Den elaborated, "Mom and Dad say we're moving to the mainland. With my dad's new job, he says it's too hard to commute on the ferry for the night shifts he's doing."

Sandeep did not know what to do with this information. He stared down sadly at his grilled cheese sandwich, not knowing how to reply. He felt nauseous at the thought of losing his best friend.

"Well, aren't you going to say something?" Den asked, his face filled with concern about his friend's response.

Sandeep was angry and sad at the same time. He didn't know how to express his emotions, so instead, he lashed out at Den, "Fine! Go then. We were never really friends anyway."

Den was shocked at this response, "What do you mean? Of course we're friends. Best friends! You don't mean that."

Sandeep said nothing as tears slowly welled up in Den's eyes, and he stood up to leave. He wanted to tell Sandeep that they could still see each other, and they would still be going to the same school, but every time he opened his mouth to speak, Sandeep said he didn't want to hear it. He took one look back at Sandeep and walked out the door.

Almost immediately, Sandeep realized he had made an egregious mistake. He knew that he should have talked it out with his friend and that they could probably work it out together. After all, he didn't even know exactly where his friend was moving nor if he was changing schools. Sandeep jumped on his bicycle to try to catch up with him before it was too late.

By the time Sandeep reached Den, they were near the ferry landing on the western side of the island. The ferry bobbed slightly as its doors lowered to allow the cars off the boat and another line up of cars, which had accumulated since the last trip, on. Sandeep remembered how, one time, he and Den rode their bicycles to the ferry and crossed to the small mainland town on the other side. He yelled for Den to stop, "Hey, Den! I'm sorry, and I didn't mean it!" Den stopped and looked back him with eyes full of salty tears. Sandeep rode up to him and continued, "I'm really sorry about what I said to you there. I just don't know how to react to this. I mean, you're my best friend, and we do everything together."

Den's face softened as his tears began to dry while he spoke, "It's okay, Sandeep. I'm upset about it, too, but if you would have let me talk earlier, I could have told you that we are still going to be going to the same school every day. My family bought a cottage on the island, so we can vacation here every summer. We are just moving to the mainland on the other side because Dad wants to cut waiting for the ferry from his trip. We'll be just a short ferry ride away. Do you remember that time when we rode our bikes to the ferry? Well, we can do that again, and as we get older, we can probably just meet up on either side all the time. It won't be too bad."

At this news, a smile grew across Sandeep's face. "Well, why didn't you say so in the first place?" he laughed. Den began to laugh as well as the two boys looked across the water to the other side. "Well," Den said, "we'd better get moving." Sandeep looked confused. "Moving where?" he inquired with a worried look on his face. Den smirked as if he was about to tell a joke, "Back to your house to finish our lunch, of course!" The boys rode back to Sandeep's house side by side and as inseparable as always.

Answer:

It is delivered to a crowd with the specific purpose of turning them to Antony's point of view. One of the reasons the speech is so rhetorically effective is Antony's clever use of repetition, repeating the phrase ''Brutus is an honorable man'' in order to imply the exact opposite meaning.

Explanation:

This repetition of the phrase, 'Brutus is an honourable man' is a clever rhetorical device. Antony is being wholly sarcastic when he says it. This has a cumulative impact on the crowd, as they listen to Antony demolishing all of Brutus's arguments. What Antony does, in effect, is to turn Brutus's own words against him.

Gutenberg’s genius invention was to create a set of letters that could be pressed into “matrix” material, which was then filled with a lead alloy to make type. You got one of each letter in a font of type. If you needed 100 of the letter E, you molded what you needed. If a letter was starting to wear out, you threw it back in the pot and made a new one. Gutenberg's printing press spread literature to the masses for the first time in an efficient, durable way, shoving Europe headlong into the original information age.  Being able to print in quantity meant more people could gain access to learning, and more people could create new ideas.

Answers

Water is the least common mode of transportation in the US.

We can arrive at this answer because:

Road transport is the most common within the US. That's because the country has invested in railroads and roads that cross the country. In addition, the high number of cars and public transport vehicles encouraged this type of transport.Air is also a very popular means of transport, as the country has also invested in airline airlines, which promote faster travel, as the country is very large.Pipeline transport is also popular in the country, as 70% of the oil and petroleum transported in the country is via pipeline.Water is the least used means of transport in the country, as there are faster and more efficient transport technologies than vehicles that are used on water.

However, water transport is used for the export of products and tourist and themed trips.
