What is the significance of the reader not knowing the narrator's name, but learning the husband's name, in the beginning of the story?
a. it represents the anonymity of a woman in a marriage with a repressive and dominating man.
b. it adds mystery and suspense to the development of the story's plot.
c. it shows the reader that the woman's identity is unknown even to herself because she is mentally ill.
d. it illustrates the important role that john has in assisting in his wife's recovery.

each of the following is an example of john's prescriptions for his wife except:
a. john does not allow the narrator to write, even though she claims it allows her to relax.
b. john does not permit the narrator to care for the baby.
c. john does not allow her to eat more than two meals a day.
d. john does not permit her to walk around in the “delicious” garden outside.

i would say c, admiration because the narrator related to the main character and she, too, once felt ashamed about her culture and wished to be an american girl to impress a boy. she felt admiration because her mom prepared her favorite foods when her and robert's (the guy she liked) family all came together and had a family reunion.

journalism is the gathering, organizing, and distribution of news -- to include feature stories and commentary -- through the wide variety of print and non-print media outlets. it is not a recent phenomenon, by any means; the earliest reference to a journalistic product comes from rome circa 59 b.c., when news was recorded in a circular called the acta diurna. it enjoyed daily publication and was hung strategically throughout the city for all to read, or for those who were able to read.

i'm thinking it would be when compound subjects are joined by or, nor,either-or, neither-nor.
