Read the excerpt from cristina garcia’s dreaming in cuban.
i was only two years old when i left cuba but i remember everything that’s happened to me since i was a baby, even word-for-word conversations. i was sitting in my grandmother’s lap, playing with her drop pearl earrings, when my mother told her we were leaving the country. abuela celia called her a traitor to the revolution. mom tried to pull me away but i clung to the abuela and screamed at the top of my lungs. my grandfather came running and said, “celia, let the girl go. she belongs with lourdes.” this was the last time i saw her.

a)it manipulates the chronological order of events to reveal the difficult relationship between lourdes and celia.
b)it provides characterization for celia as it reveals her physical appearance.
c)it introduces several of the narrators who will share their points of view.

answer: i would say he was very determined and persistent in overcoming obstacles.

explanation:   "the magician of menlo park" as he was called, liked to tell an incident that happened when he was 8 years old and came back home crying after attending school for three months because his teacher called him "sterile and unproductive". from nowadays perspective, we can say that thomas alva edison was one of the most persistent and determined man that has ever existed. when edison was 14, he contracted scarlet fever. the effect of the fever, as well as a blow to the head by an angry train conductor, caused edison to become completely deaf in his left ear, and 80-percent deaf in the other. so as you can see he had to struggle to not so many minor issues but he always succeeded.
