Read the excerpts.

“Fish Cheeks”

For Christmas I prayed for this blond-haired boy, Robert, and a slim new American nose.

“Broken Chain”

Which theme do both texts address?

Sometimes people want to look like others to fit in.
Growing up can be very challenging.

C- I think.
What do you think @Elsa213?

Answer 12

I agree. :3

Answer 13

Read the text evidence.

"Fish Cheeks"
Then my father poked his chopsticks just below the fish eye and plucked out the soft meat. "Amy, your favorite," he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear.

"Broken Chain"
Alfonso thought he would look cool with his hair razored into a V in the back and streaked purple. But he knew his mother wouldn't go for it. And his father, who was puro Mexicano, would sit in his chair after work, sullen as a toad, and call him "sissy."

Which theme does the text evidence from the essay and short story support?

One’s cultural background affects who he or she is.
Manners are important to use in life.
A person’s outward appearance can be deceiving.
Family always comes first.

Answer 16

I'm thinking A- or C-

Answer 17

This is the thesis to an essay: “A theme from both ‘Broken Chain’ and ‘Fish Cheeks’ is that you can always count on your family.” Which quote from “Broken Chain” would you select to support that thesis?

“And his father, who was puro Mexicano, would sit in his chair after work, sullen as a toad, and call him ‘sissy.’”
“Sunday morning, Ernie and Alfonso stayed away from each other, though over breakfast they fought over the last tortilla.”
“Now he had to face Sandra and say, ‘I broke my bike, and my stingy brother took off on his.’”
“Alfonso couldn’t believe his luck. What a brother! What a pal! He promised to take Ernie’s turn next time it was his turn to do the dishes.”

Answer 18

I'm leaning more towards A because "Fish Cheeks" doesn't really mention appearance.

Answer 19

I agree.

Answer 20

An essay thesis argues that although both "Flowers for Algernon" and "Fish Cheeks" address people's desire to fit in with others, only "Flowers for Algernon" conveys the theme that people often treat those who are different badly. Which quote from "Flowers for Algernon" would best provide evidence for the thesis?

"I like Miss Kinnian becaus shes a very smart teacher. And she said Charlie your going to have a second chance."
"I told him it was a very nice inkblot with littel points all around the edges. He looked very sad so that wasnt it."
"Dr Strauss came to my room tonight to see why I dint come in like I was suppose to. I told him I dont like to race with Algernon any more."
"It's a funny thing I never knew that Joe and Frank and the others liked to have me around all the time to make fun of me."

Answer 21

I'm guessing D-
"It's a funny thing I never knew that Joe and Frank and the others liked to have me around all the time to make fun of me."

Answer 22

Which of the passages from “Escape,” “Fish Cheeks,” “Broken Chain,” or “Flowers for Algernon” best supports the theme that “it is important to be satisfied with who you are”?

“learning how to live”
“without a textbook”
“You must be proud you are different. Your only shame is to have shame.”
“Even a feeble-minded man wants to be like other men. A child may not know how to feed itself, or what to eat, yet it knows of hunger.”
“What have I done? Alfonso thought. He bit his lip, called himself menso, and pounded his palm against his forehead.”

Answer 23

Maybe C.
`“You must be proud you are different. Your only shame is to have shame.”`

Answer 24

What have I done? Alfonso thought. He bit his lip, called himself menso, and pounded his palm against his forehead.
