I NEED THIS ASAP Read the excerpt below and answer the question. GEORGE: Listen, Emily, I'm going to tell you why I'm not going to Agriculture School. I think that once you've found a person that you're very fond of...I mean a person who's fond of you, too, and likes you enough to be interested in your character...Well, I think that's just as important as college is, and even more so. That's what I think. What is the explicit meaning of this excerpt from Our Town? George does not value education. George does not want to learn about agriculture. George wants to stay and develop a relationship with Emily. George wants to receive letters from Emily while he is at school.

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's look at the four answer options.

1. George does not value education.

2. George does not want to learn about agriculture.

3. George wants to stay and develop a relationship with Emily.

4. George wants to receive letters from Emily while he is at school.

Option #1 is incorrect because he says that love is just as important or more important than college, and since love is a huge theme in literature, it leads me to believe that he does still value education as well.

Option #2 is incorrect as well because he does not talk about why he doesn't like agriculture at all, and he only mentions it when talking about the school.

Option #4 is incorrect because he says nothing about letters and specifically says he isn't going to school so he wouldn't be receiving letters at school

This leaves us with option #3. This makes sense because he is saying that love and relationships are more important to him than school, so he will stay and not go to the school.

The answer is George wants to stay and develop a relationship with Emily.

Have a wonderful day! :D

do you have a picture of the cartoon?

what: when quoting a source, use the author’s words verbatim, or word-for-word. this means you shouldn’t change any grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. put quotations around the words to tell your reader where the quote begins and where it ends.

you also need to acknowledge the author. for example, if using mla format for your research paper, you should have in-text citations with the author’s name and page number listed at the end of each quote.

when: use quotations to provide concrete examples to support your claims. using direct quotations is a great way to build your credibility on the subject. it’s also a good idea to quote your source when the author states things in a powerful way. if you think he or she said it best, then use the exact words to share the ideas.

example: in the short story “a jury of her peers”, mrs. hale compares mrs. wright to her caged bird, saying “she—come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself. real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and—fluttery. how—she—did—change” (glaspell).

paraphrasing

what: paraphrasing differs from quoting because you restate the passage in your own words. since you don’t use the author’s words, you don’t need to use quotation marks. however, you still need to acknowledge the author for his or her ideas.

when paraphrasing a text, you should communicate the full meaning of the text; don’t change the meaning. it can be a condensed version of the text, or it could end up being longer than the source it’s paraphrasing.

when: you use paraphrasing when you take notes, or explain a chart or diagram to someone. paraphrasing highlight the important parts of a larger text. it also allows you to simplify the ideas for your readers.

example:

original: “it was no ordinary thing that called her away–it was probably further from ordinary than anything that had ever happened in dickson county. but what her eye took in was that her kitchen was in no shape for leaving: her bread all ready for mixing, half the flour sifted and half unsifted” (glaspell).

paraphrase: as mrs. hales walks around mrs. wright’s home, she notices that the kitchen is in disarray as if she was in the middle of baking bread (glaspell).
