What context does the article provide for understanding the story? what does the article reveal about the franco-prussian war compared to what maupassant’s story portrays? cite evidence from either text to support your analysis.

The article conveys many details about the political tensions that caused the war and propelled it forward. In contrast, in the story, the characters do not seem to represent this historical context. They don't act like serious enemies at war. In fact, they seem disconnected from most official aspects of the war.

The article describes the strength of the German military force (400,000 German troops led by "the great strategist” Helmuth Karl Bernhard) and the haphazard nature of the smaller French force (for example, the French surrender after Paris was bombarded and its citizens tried "to stave off the enemy with crude and makeshift weapons"). In the story, the Prussian soldiers do not convey the sense of being part of a strong military force. They are out of their element—lost and hungry—so they seek help from the peasant woman Berthine. The French forces do seem haphazard in the story. Clearly, the peasants in the village are not experienced at war and are not highly professional. The men who are officially in charge are less clever than Berthine, whose actions lead to capturing the enemy soldiers. Their lack of wits is evident when they try to get the enemy soldiers to leave the basement, and when they make a game of running in front of the opening, resulting in the baker’s injury by gunfire. Berthine's bravery and effectiveness contrast with the ineffectiveness of her fellow villagers.

The story’s contrast with the official details of the war underscores the oddity of the story’s characters. The article provides a broader depiction of the war at the national level, while Maupassant seems to be commenting on the common people that experience the war at the local level. His story creates a sadly comical feel about the events of the war in a French village.

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.

write two paragraphs to compare and contrast the narrators’ schools and explain how their schools shape their perspectives toward the hijab. cite evidence from the text to support your ideas.

copy and paste answer:

two paragraphs to compare and contrast the narrator's schools would be this, the one school with the veil is the one school were the students were forced to wear the veils, and they did not know why they had to wear the veils. the girl student writing the story was not like the other students, she didn't care. in the second school there was a lot of hostile activities going on throughout the school. most of the students were upset and this, including the author, but she was trying to look and the good side of things.  

overall, both schools had something that the students or most of the students did not like or appreciate. what you can learn from these stories is that life will never be exactly how you may want it to be. complaining about your lifestyle will only make matters worse or at least feel worse in the long run. that's happens to be the information you can interpret from these two stories.
