What does Norton mean when she claims that the suburban shopping mall appears to be a public place but in fact is not?  Do you agree with this conclusion?  Why or why not? Book Name: Signs of Life In the USA

Norton claims that the suburban shopping mall appears to be a public place but in fact is not. By this claim, she means that the authority belongs to a private party. ... The control of the private authority will influence the decision of what to buy, which in turn will influence who you are, because you are what you buy.

covert: hidden or secret

candid: truthful and straightforward

what i get from these phrases is covert means undercover or underground and that's where the flower is in april. on the other hand, may is the month where flowers start to bloom and thats the reason why candid is being used as a word to describe the blossoming period of a flower.

hope this answer you.

technical documents should be clear and precise. basically, clarity is the key element in a successful technical document.
