Identify and describe two social issues that Realist writers worked to improve by making more Americans
care about the problems. For each issue, name a writer who wrote realistically about the situation.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The first American to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature (1930) was Sinclair Lewis. He wrote about nothing but social issues. The 1920s was his golden era.

The two I'm most familiar with is the two I'll write about. The first was Dodsworth, which is perhaps his masterpiece.

It is the story of a rich industrialist who decides to give it all up and live in Europe. His wife was the real meat of the book; it is her life that bears the pointed satire of the book. Lewis was not enamored with everything American and she was what he despised most. She was frivolous, wasteful, cruel, but she had a hold on Dodsworth. And that is the point of the book. Lewis painted her the way he did because he was trying to awaken America into being more useful, more dedicated and less unthinking than they were in the 20s. It's a dark novel, very realistic in its contents, and not too overly hopeful that things would improve. Still in spite of her, he hoped. Lest you think that Lewis had his knife sharpened on women's hide, the woman Dodsworth eventually falls is everything his wife is not.

The second book I'll talk about is Babbitt. George Babbitt was the embodiment of another trait Lewis was not fond of. He hated unthinking  hypocrisy and George was both. He was a hypocrite and unthinking. He was a likable buffoon (that's my interpretation -- it certainly was not what Lewis thought) who got along by agreeing with everyone -- not realizing what he was doing at all. The book actually takes Babbitt apart by mocking his lack of anything that resembled centrality or intelligence. He had no real political will. He opposed everything that those in power had to say, particularly the clergy who were themselves taken apart in Elmer Gantry.

A very old but astonishingly good movie still about Elmer Gantry was made in 1960 and if you live in a mid sized city they likely have it. It shows Gantry at his best/worst. Dodsworth is also a film and it too is a masterpiece. Babbitt has his own film but he is much slimier in Elmer. Babbitt's film is much older than 1960. It's too bad he only had a cameo part.

I've not covered Gantry, because some people are very sensitive about how Religion is treated. And I add this caution: if you are sensitive to how religion is written about, then don't watch Gantry. Lewis shows no mercy. The film is much kinder and enough of Gantry shines though that we tend not to like him. His charm does nothing for him.

The films

Dodsworth and Elmer Gantry.

then you are a(n) ______ listener.

Answers

Answer:

content oriented

Explanation:

to "cut to the chase" is to get to the point. People who are content-oriented are interested more in what is said rather than who is saying it or what they are feeling.

Answer:

D but don't be surprised if it is C

Explanation:

You don't care about details.

Your favorite question is "What's the point?"

You don't care what the emotions were, and not particularly concerned with who the people are.

The choice that's going to give you trouble is action-orientated. You might want to know what the speaker wants you do do.

In spite of that, I would pick D because it's more general.

Explanation:

writing about your shopping habits

Answers

Answer:

Some people love shopping. For them, shopping is fun. Perhaps it is the thrill of the hunt or a chance to find something that will make your life better. Shopping is an adventure, and a chance to be with friends. Shopping is a way to prevent boredom.Some people hate shopping. They avoid stores, seeing it as a frustrating or time consuming. Some people hate to spend money. Non- shoppers sometimes don’t buy things even when they need them. These are the people who will cobble something together and make it work in the name of being frugal.Recently, I found myself doing more shopping than usual. I started when the zipper on my favorite carry-on broke, which required me to check a bag on a recent trip. My bag did not arrive at my destination, which reminded my why I don’t usually check bags.This led me down a rabbit hole to find the perfect new bag. Of course, I wanted it at the best possible price and I knew that there would be sales for Mother’s Day and Graduation gifts. I was right.In the process for searching for a new bag, I began to think about all of the upcoming trips I have. I needed a bag that was an inch or two smaller than my previous bag so that it would fit in the new and smaller bins at the major US airlines and well as international ones.

The shopping habits are given below, and they are sustainable and affordable habits. Kindly follow the answer below for a better understanding.

What are the shopping baits?

Simple, recyclable, and reusable packaging is preferred.

Bring a shopping bag with you. As far as possible, avoid using plastic bags.

Choose soap over body wash and shampoo to save money on bottles.

Choose items that are both environmentally friendly and cruelty-free.

Go to a thrift store, a charity sale, or an exchange.

Love farmer's markets and craft fairs (money could go straight towards generating and creating them)

Shop handbags, scarves, and other items are woven from the underprivileged area, except for social occasions.

Reduce the amount of fast food and fast fashion you consume.

Fashion is an art form that focuses on sustainable, high-quality, and skin-friendly materials.

Tip: If in a grocery store or supermarket, look for lesser-known brands on the lowest and highest shelves; they're usually cheaper not because they're of worse quality, but because they don't spend as much money on advertising as their competitors.
