adapted from American Indian Stories
by Zitkála-Šá (Gertrude Simmons Bonnin)

The elders knew the meaning of my pauses, and often they coaxed my confidence by asking, "What do you seek, little granddaughter?"
"My mother says you are to come to our tepee this evening," I instantly exploded and breathed freely afterwards.
"Yes, yes, gladly, gladly, I shall come!" each replied. Rising at once and carrying their blankets across one shoulder, they flocked leisurely from their various wigwams toward our dwelling.
At the arrival of our guests, I sat close to my mother and did not leave her side without first asking her consent. I ate my supper in quiet, listening patiently to the talk of the elders, wishing all the time that they would begin the stories I loved best. At last, when I could not wait any longer, I whispered in my mother's ear, "Ask them to tell an Iktomi story, Mother."
Soothing my impatience, my mother said aloud, "My little daughter is anxious to hear your legends."
As each in turn began to tell a legend, I pillowed my head in my mother's lap, and lying flat upon my back, I watched the stars as they peeped down upon me, one by one. The increasing interest of the tale aroused me, and I sat up eagerly listening to every word. The old women made funny remarks and laughed so heartily that I could not help joining them.

In at least 150 words, explain what is meant by the Socratic method. How does it work, and what conclusions are generally reached by using it?

Please help im so confused

Answers

Answer:

The Socratic method of inquiry and instruction employed by Socrates especially as represented in the dialogues of Plato and consisting of a series of questionings the object of which is to elicit a clear and consistent expression of something supposed to be implicitly known by all rational beings. The principle underlying the Socratic method is that students learn through the use of critical thinking, reasoning, and logic. This technique involves finding holes in their own theories and then patching them up.  The goal is for students to solidify their knowledge of the case by thinking critically under pressure. Now because of this we can think easier and explain all of our theories and reasons behind this method

b. man vs nature

Answers

Answer:

1. a. Isn't

2. c. listening.

3. c. report him to your teacher.

4. c. punch.

5. b. man vs society.

6. a. Man vs self.

Explanation:

1. Contractions are the use of the contracted form of writing words. The word "isn't" is a contracted form of "is not".

2. Listening is a skill that enables a person to receive a message and then interpret it accurately.

3. Being bullied would make it easy for the victim to reciprocate. But a non-violent reaction is to report to the teacher and let the teacher handle the situation.

4. A common violent reaction to being bullied is to punch the bully. This act is an act of violence in itself.

5. A conflict of interest between one's moral sense of right and wrong is a man vs society conflict. This is because the moral duty of right/wrong is made based on society's perception of that issue.

6. A conflict that affects the mental and emotional health of a person is a man vs. self because it is a war/dilemma within himself and no outside/ extrinsic element.
