"My Name" by Sandra Cisneros-Close Read Questions According to Chinese Zodiac, these are common traits of people born during the Year of the Horse: stubborn, independent—don't take advice, social, and clever. Where in the story does the narrator show these traits?

Answer:

"My Name" by Sandra Cisneros

The narrator showed these traits of the horse: "stubborn, independent—don't take advice, social, and clever," where:

she indicated her willingness to "baptize" herself in a new name.

Explanation:

Quoting the narrator, she said: "I would like to baptize myself under

a new name, a name more like the real me, the one nobody sees."  This shows that she has an interior that is not exterior.  The real "she" is not revealed.  And that real "she" is "stubborn, independent—don't take advice, social, and clever."  This writing titled, "My Name from the House on Mango Street" by Sandra Cisneros, shows that names are important in the lives of the bearers.  They should be chosen carefully.  It is more spiritual than physical, and must be chosen to reflect spiritual aspirations.

Read the excerpt from Last Lecture.

There are 50 students drawn from all the different departments of the university. There are randomly chosen teams, four people per team, and they change every project. A project only lasts two weeks, so you do something, you make something, you show something, then I shuffle the teams, you get three new playmates and you do it again. . . .

The first assignment, I gave it to them, they came back in two weeks and they just blew me away. I mean the work was so beyond, literally, my imagination, because I had copied the process from Imagineering’s VR lab, but I had no idea what they could or couldn’t do with it as undergraduates, and their tools were weaker, and they came back on the first assignment, and they did something that was so spectacular that I literally didn’t, ten years as a professor and I had no idea what to do next. So I called up my mentor, and I called up Andy Van Dam.

Which sentence or group of sentences in this excerpt from "The Water of Life" by the Brothers Grimm indicates that the king's eldest son is
greedy?
Long before you or i were born there reigned, in a country a great way off, a king who had three sons. This king once fell very ill-so ill that
nobody thought he could live. His sons were very much grieved at their father's sickness, and as they were walking together very mournfully in
the garden of the palace, a little old man met them and asked what was the matter. They told him that their father was very ill, and that they
were afraid nothing could save him. "I know what would," said the little old man; "it is the water of Life. If he could have a draught of it he would
be well again; but it is very hard to get." Then the eldest son said, "I will soon find it and he went to the sick king, and begged that he might go in
search of the water of Life, as it was the only thing that could save him. "No," said the king. " had rather die than place you in such great danger
as you must meet with in your journey." But he begged so hard that the king let him go; and the prince thought to himself, "If I bring my father
this water, he will make me sole heir to his kingdom."

Indian Boy Love Song (#2)


I never spoke
the language
of the old woman

visiting my mother
in winters so cold
they could freeze
the tongue whole.

I never held my head
to their thin chests
believing in the heart.

Indian women, forgive me.
I grew up distant
and always afraid.
