1. What roles do the adults or older figures play in the lives of the various narrators? Select a figure from each of the four memoirs and write one sentence answering the question for each memoir.
My crystal ball is down tonight, so I have no idea to which narrators or memoirs you refer.
i have this same question for 4 memoirs
1-Barrio Boy
2-A Cub Pilot
3-No Gumption
4-The Caged Bird Sings
i have read it multiple times but this one question out of 18 got me stumped
i would say the teacher, mr.bixby,mother,and mss. flowers
To answer this question, we will need to examine four different memoirs and identify the roles that adults or older figures play in the lives of the narrators. Let's go through each memoir and provide a one-sentence response for each:
1. "Angela's Ashes" by Frank McCourt – Frank's mother, Angela, serves as a source of strength and guidance, providing emotional support and attempting to shield the family from their challenging circumstances.
2. "Educated" by Tara Westover – Tara's father, Gene, initially acts as her primary teacher, instilling in her a love for learning but later becomes an obstacle to her educational pursuits due to his resistance to formal education.
3. "The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls – Jeannette's father, Rex, plays a dual role: providing intellectual stimulation and fostering creativity, while also struggling with alcoholism, which contributes to the family's instability.
4. "Night" by Elie Wiesel – Elie's father, Shlomo, becomes a symbol of strength and a source of encouragement, as both share a deep bond and rely on each other for support during the Holocaust.
To determine these roles, I referred to summaries and analyses of each memoir. It's essential to read the memoirs thoroughly to gain a comprehensive understanding of the roles of adult figures within the narrators' lives.
