SummaryAnalysis
At this point, the book takes on a structure of narration that alternates between the voice of tribal lore, the voice of historical commentary, and the voice of personal memory. It opens with the voice of the tribe, telling the Kiowa creation story, which is that the Kiowas emerged into the world from a hollow log. There were originally more Kiowas, but a pregnant woman got stuck in the log and afterwards no more Kiowas could come into the world, as they were trapped behind her. The voice of history then takes over and explains several early names for the Kiowas, two of which meant “coming out” and one that referred to differing halves, a reference to the hairstyle of Kiowa warriors. This third name, “gaigwu,” is where “Kiowa” likely comes from (“Kiowa” is probably the Comanche pronunciation of “gaigwu”). The voice of personal memory then describes the northern plains, the ancestral land of the Kiowas, emphasizing the way in which all the natural features seem whole and perfect.
An interesting part of the Kiowa creation story is that it is defined by mishap: a pregnant woman got stuck in the hollow log, preventing many Kiowas from entering the world. Reality being shaped by accident rather than deliberate action is a common thread in many Kiowa stories (as in many other myths as well). This resonates with the structure of the book’s narration, which is non-linear and therefore does not place particular importance on the cause and effect of actions over time. In addition, the fact that the word “Kiowa” is actually a Comanche mispronunciation of a Kiowa word is a fitting symbol of the centrality of the influence of other cultures to the Kiowa.

What is the impact of the family towards the personal development of an adolescent?
Answer:
Family plays a vital role in development of an adolescent. Though, family have limited role in adolescent's life, they still have much impact on the positive development of adolescents.
Explanation:
Adolescent is the transitional period in human development between the childhood and adulthood. As per the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, adolescence period is defined between the age of 10 years to 19 years of age.
According to many developmental researches, in adolescents life role of family becomes limited, but they also assert that it is still a major part of their lives. Positive family environment and positive emotional support from family helps adolescents to develop positively. With a positive family impact, adolescents are able to develop positive image for themselve and identity.
So, one can say that though role becomes limited of family in adolescents life, they still have major impact on them.

It might not be well known, but there is a desert in North America. It spans along the western side of the continent, from southern Oregon to northern Mexico. It is mostly contained in the arid area between the Rocky Mountains to the east and the fertile coast of the Pacific Ocean to the west. Researchers estimate that the desert is between 500,000 and 730,000 square miles (1,300,000 and 1,900,000 square kilometres).
People do live in this desert, but the pockets of people are dispersed and isolated. As a desert, the area is arid because of high evaporation, extreme temperatures, high winds, localized storms, and sun-beaten land. Life is a struggle in the desert for humans, as well as plants and animals. There are still descendants of indigenous desert cultures living in the desert. These Native Americans, along with European settlers, have added to the population of the region.
In the desert, differences of latitude, elevation, climate, topography, vegetation, soil, and human use have divided the desert into a cold region and a hot region. The cold region of the desert is known as the Great Basin Desert. This area covers almost all of Nevada, western Utah, and sections of the neighboring states. South of this basin is the Mojave Desert, which is the hot region of the North American Desert. This area covers much of California, southern Nevada, and some of Mexico.
What evidence does the author use to support the idea that there are hot and cold regions in the North American desert?
A) As a desert, the area is arid because of evaporation, extreme temperatures, winds, localized storms, and sun-beaten land.
B) Differences of latitude, elevation, climate, topography, vegetation, soil, and human use have divided the desert.
C) South of this basin is the Mojave Desert, which is the hot region of the North American Desert.
D) This area covers almost all of Nevada, western Utah, and sections of the neighboring states.

Use the context to decide the meaning of the word condemned .
Gas cylinder that cannot be identified from marking must be removed from service, condemned and rendered incapable of holdind pressure
Answer:
Officially declared to be unfit for use
Explanation:
Condemned is an adjective derived from the verb to condemn. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, it has several meanings:
declared to be reprehensible, wrong, or evilpronounced guilty and sentenced to punishment (usually to death)officially declared to be unfit for useSince the sentence is about gas cylinders, a type of product, we can conclude that the third meaning is the correct one. Cylinders can't be declared wrong or evil or sentenced to punishment. They can be only declared unusable, which fits the context - gas cylinders that cannot be identified must be removed from service, declared unfit for use, and rendered incapable of holding pressure.

my dead lines the 17 of november
Answer:
The importance of the medical field has always been of significant interest to me. Neurology, gastroenterology, cardiology, etc. is essential to the prosperity of mankind. Unfortunately, it is underappreciated to some extent, and the knowledge of these fields is miniscule.
Digestion has always been essential to the human body, as failure to do so would result in our death. Gastroenterology is essentially a medical field dedicated to focusing on the health and well-being of the digestive system and the disorders that occur within it. This field is greatly hidden, as it is unknown to majority of people across the world. Your body seemingly processes waste and materials without concern, as you cannot see the complicated process that the human body undergoes when transporting waste out of the body. This field of study makes a great impact on us, and their research has provided us with safer lives on a daily basis.
Unfortunately, the human body cannot function without the use of the heart. While this medical field is more more widely known of, their actual field of study is not entirely clear. Cardiology focuses on the heart, as well as blood vessels, and the entire cardiovascular system. Cardiologists specialize in treating heart-related diseases, injuries, and other problems that relate to the cardiovascular system. The functions of the heart affect the human body greatly, and without it we could not survive. These doctors affect us much more than we assume.
Are you familiar with the organ that controls everything we do- even our heart's beating? Our brain is one of the most important organs in our body, and it is not underappreciated. But what field of study studies our brains? Neurology! Neurology is an extremely well-known field of study, and many more people know of this field than any other. The human brain is a complex organ, and these doctors have spent years in college to prepare for their job. When you consider it, these people are using their brains to study ours! This popular spectrum does not go unnoticed, as it never should. How could we function without our brains constantly working?
The human body is often prone to developing tumors, though most go unnoticed, and they do not affect us. Cancer cells may build up over a course of years, and without treatment, can turn deadly; this is why oncologists are here to help us. These doctors deal with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. These doctors, like gastroenterologists, are not very popular throughout the medical field. They play a cardinal role in the health of people, but we often do not hear about them unless we are referred to one.
There are many more medical fields that are open, looking for people such as yourself, but not enough people are familiar with the amount of jobs open to them. People that study in the medical field are making a significant difference to us - not to mention that the paycheck is worth the effort.

What is genre theory in simplified terms
Answer:
As readers, we often think of genre in terms of writing styles: comedy, romance, mystery, drama, and tragedy. We are trained to recognize the conventions and hallmarks of these forms. Genre also includes broad categories like poetry, novels, and plays. After all, we rely on specific conventions and expectations in our responses to a text. A person screaming in a café is interpreted differently in a comedy than in a tragedy because of the context. These distinctions represent genres or forms of writing.
Current genre theory, however, delves deeper. It describes genre as a response to a specific and recurrent social situation. Recurring social/rhetorical situations give rise to genres and genre, thus, depends heavily on the intertextuality of discourse (Devitt 576). In the case of an academic article, for example, this intertextuality means that scholars are guided by, refer back to, and engage with previous work.
Carolyn Miller describes genre as a social construct and social action, providing the writer with a socially recognizable way to make his or her intentions known (157-58). Genre theory offers a way of thinking about how language depends on context.
Explanation:
"I can't do this now,"said Mohan.(change into reported speech
Answer:
"Morgan said he couldn't do that at the time."
Explanation:
Reported speech is the term that represents the moment in a story where the character's speech is presented inserted in the narration. This type of speech is also called indirect speech, because we know what the character was talking about indirectly between us, readers, and the character, because whoever tells us the character's speech is the narrator.
An example of reported speech is the phrase: "Morgan said he couldn't do that at the time."
