Think about the events related in "a cub pilot" by mark twain and the excerpt from barrio boy by ernesto galarza.
given these events, which action would the authors of the two memoirs most likely praise?
a person turns away from friends facing trouble.
a person stands up against an injustice.
a person becomes a stern and unforgiving teacher.
a person works through her doubts to achieve a worthwhile goal.

The correct answer is A person works through her doubts to achieve a worthwhile goal.

Explanation:

In both "A Cub Pilot" by Mark Twain and the excerpt from Barrio Boy by Ernesto Galarza,  the authors are forced to leave their current lives behind, face new personal challenges and make decisions that will be necessary to define who they will be in the future.

In the case of "A Cub Pilot", the protagonist makes the decision to leave everything behind to fulfill the dream he had as a child of working in a boat. But when he arrives, he realizes that the work environment is not so pleasant, and he has to endure Brown's abuse for fear of losing his job. Finally, he makes the decision to hit him and realizes that it was worth it, even more when the captain congratulates him for having done it .

The same goes for the excerpt from Barrio Boy by Ernesto Galarza, where Ernesto and his family are forced to move to different cities in Mexico because of tensions with the government.

He didn't go to school, and at the age of 7 he learns that being a man is working day and night without a payment.

After his mother remarries, they move again. Ernesto makes new friends and starts going to school, where he was doing very well.

As in the previous case, Ernesto begins to work in a labor camp, with very bad conditions. And when he returns home, going to school he begins to think about his future.

His vision was different from the thoughts he had about school when he was younger.

explanation:

mrs. mallard has a heart condition, which means that if she's startled she could die. so, when news comes that her husband's been killed in an accident, the people who tell her have to cushion the blow.

mrs. mallard's sister josephine sits down with her and dances around the truth until mrs. mallard finally understands what happened. the deceased mr. mallard's friend, richards, hangs out with them for moral support.

richards originally found out because he had been in the newspaper headquarters when a report of the accident that killed mr. mallard, which happened on a train, came through. richards waited for proof from a second source before going to the mallards' to share the news.

when mrs. mallard finds out what happened she acts differently from most women in the same position, who might disbelieve it. she cries passionately before deciding to go to her room to be by herself.

in her room, mrs. mallard sits down on a comfy chair and feels completely depleted. she looks out the window and looks out at a world that seems alive and fresh. she can see the sky coming between the rain clouds.

mrs. mallard sits still, occasionally crying briefly like a kid might.

the narrator describes her as youthful and pretty, but because of this news she looks preoccupied and absent.

she seems to be holding out for some kind of unknown news or knowledge, which she can tell is approaching.

mrs. mallard breathes heavily and tries to resist before succumbing to this unknown thing, which is a feeling of freedom.

acknowledging freedom makes her revive, and she doesn't consider whether she should feel bad about it.

mrs. mallard thinks to herself about how she'll cry when she sees her husband's dead body and how much he loved her. even so, she's kind of excited about the chance to make her own decisions and not feel accountable to anyone.

mrs. mallard feels even more swept up by the idea of freedom than the fact that she had felt love for her husband.
