5. Talusan says, “My parents avoided spending money on fast food; instead, my mother brought freshly cooked rice and chicken adobo. I was embarrassed as I watched other families eat peanut
butter and jelly sandwiches and potato chips at rest-stop picnic tables” (p. 73). Why does Talusan
feel embarrassed? (6 points)

peer pressure

Explanation:

she is most likely embarassed because her peers are eating things she thinks are cool and she feels that if they see her they will think she is odd or weird.

i believe it is the first choice (1.)

because the major theme is(“both the wild and civilization have rules.”)

and also as u said,( based on what buck learns within the call of the wild, "both the wild and civilization have rules".this is true of humans within society as well.

in my opinion i think it was not excessive at all. the maids turned against the queen in his absence, how could he ever trust them again? if he let them go they would surely spread the news of the suitor's deaths, which is much too risky. as for the suitors, they were selfish, rude, and greedy. the god's had apparently marked them for death, meaning odysseus made their death come faster.
