What's island morning by Jamaica Kincaid about ?
May I please get a summary ?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The descriptive essay entitled “Island Morning” by JamaicaKincaid is about a girl comparing and contrasting her home from the place shecurrently lives.

A girl describes her home as a place where people get up soearly to make a living. Her home is said to be abundant in sugarcane,arrowroot, tobacco, and cotton fields, where people grow other fruits andvegetables like bananas, mangoes, and potatoes, and sell them to the marketevery Sunday.  A very small number of peoplework in banks and offices while the rest of them work as carpenters, servants,tailors, shopkeepers, fishermen and the like.

Manhattan, the place she currently lives, on the other hand,is almost completely different, except that both places share similargeographical definition. At the place she calls home, people wake up by 6 o’clockwhile people in Manhattan are barely alive at that time.

Accustomed to getting up early, the girl still wakes upearly even without hearing the sound of the alarm. She kills her early morning timereading women’s magazines, watching morning news and television shows. Then,she noticed it’s no longer an early morning in Manhattan anymore.

My best friend and I enjoy wandering through the catacombs.Identify the type of verbal phrase that has been underlined in the sentence above.

participial
infinitive
prepositional
gerund

Answers

Lets find the part of the sentence with the verb : wandering through the catacombs. Wandering is the verb, a verb is an action, and an action is something you do. A gerund phrase has a verb that ends in -ing. A prepositional is a word like after, before, and now.  A prepositional phrase example is this : After several minutes we located the keys for the door. An Infinitive Phrase is a phrase that has an infinitive and the modifier. "Participial phrases are dressed up like verbs, but they function as adjectives to describe nouns."A participial phrase commonly functions as an adjective. For eg. : The windows cracked by vandals have been fixed.

I would go with gerund phrase because wondering ends in -ing. Hope I helped!

C- Gerund

On April 26th, 1777, Sybil Ludington rode 40 miles by horse through Putnam County, New York, to gather up local militia. British forces were burning nearby Danbury, Connecticut, and Ludington wanted to rally rebel troops to meet them. Although she was only 16 years old at the time, her brave feat made Ludington one of the heroes of the American Revolution. Since then, Ludington has been widely celebrated, inspiring postage stamps, statues, and even children’s TV series.Text 2
Historian Paula D. Hunt researched the life and legacy of Sybil Ludington but found no evidence for her famous ride.

Which sentence contains a faulty parallel structure? I am eager to visit Phoenix and to meet Rachel. I look forward to visiting Phoenix and to meet Rachel. I look forward to visiting Phoenix and meeting Rachel. I am excited about my visit to Phoenix and my meeting with Rachel.

Answers

A parallel structure means that the same form of the word is used in each part of the sentence. So the correct answer is 'I look forward to visiting Phoenix and to meet Rachel'. For this sentence to be correct, it would need to say 'I look forward to visiting Phoenix and meeting Rachel'. 

The first sentence because it does not combine I and Am together.
