Read the excerpt from The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street.

STEVE

(raising his voice)

There's something you can do, Charlie. You could go home and keep your mouth shut. You could quit strutting around like a self-appointed hanging judge and just climb into bed and forget it.

CHARLIE

You sound real anxious to have that happen, Steve. I think we better keep our eye on you too!

DON

(as if he were taking the bit in his teeth, takes a hesitant step to the front)

I think everything might as well come out now.

(he turns toward Steve.)

Your wife's done plenty of talking, Steve, about how odd you are!

CHARLIE

(picking this up, his eyes widening)

Go ahead, tell us what she's said.

58. LONG SHOT – STEVE 58.

As he walks toward them from across the street.

STEVE

Go ahead, what's my wife said? Let's get it all out. Let's pick out every idiosyncrasy of every single man, woman, and child on the street. And then we might as well set up some kind of a kangaroo court. How about a firing squad at dawn, Charlie, so we can get rid of all the suspects. Narrow them down. Make it easier for you.

DON

There's no need gettin' so upset, Steve. It's just that . . . well . . . Myra's talked about how there's been plenty of nights you spent hours down in your basement workin' on some kind of radio or something. Well, none of us have ever seen that radio—

How does Steve’s attempt to reason with his neighbors affect other elements of the story?

The neighbors calm down and go home for a while.
The neighbors become suspicious of him as well.
The neighbors elect Steve their leader.
The neighbors become a wild mob.

How could the Mexican Government and Texans have compromised to prevent a rebellion or was compromise an impossibility?
Explain in 5 sentences or more.​

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Both the Mexican Government and Texans could have had more negotiations and reach an agreement through a series of dialogues between the two.

However, giving the circumstances that caused the rebellion, the compromise between the two appears impossible.

Similar to the American civil war, the issue of slavery is one abolition is one of the major causes of the Texan's rebellion.

Governmental differences with the issuance of Siete Leyes by the Mexican government and refusal of Texans to acknowledge can be considered treason and the result is a punishment from the government or ultimately war.

cultural differences or religious differences are also one of the main factors, and as it can be seen in the middle east or Palestine vs Israel, the conflict can be endless, and will ultimately result in war.
