In paragraph 25, Turkle uses the phrase "partisan for conversation" to describe herself. Why
does Turkle choose the word partisan?

Answer:

Sherry Turkle used the phrase "partisan for conversation" to prove or bring out her argument about the lack of an inter-personal manual, a face-to-face conversation between humans, and the increased dependence on technology.

Explanation:

In her informational text "The Flight From Conversation", Sherry Turkle describes how technology has overtaken the world and how normal, inter-personal conversations have dwindled to a mere "hi/ hello". She delves into the issue of how we are all so focused on our small bubbles and out of the real world.

In the initial paragraphs, she narrates how many of us present generations are so dependent on our phones and electronic devices that it has taken the conversation out of our lives. But despite all that, she identifies herself as a "partisan for conversation" alluding to her support of personal conversations and not just texts and calls through the small devices that we have on us at all times. She specifically used/ choose the word "partisan" because it means an avid supporter of any idea or philosophy and that is what she wants to be associated with. And by using this word, she successfully managed to bring forward her main argument- that of lack of conversation between individuals and the need to do more of that and stay away from technological connections.

In Chicago, it is snowing softly

Dial the number and out pops your pop. The wireless phone account is charged for the soda. Students and staff at the Institute of Technology in Helsinki are using the prototype. Coke says it is waiting to see how the phone-ready vending machine fares there before possibly rolling it out elsewhere, maybe even in the U.S." (Pappas 45). Is this an acceptable paraphrase?

In this excerpt from Guy de Maupassant’s "The Necklace," which group of words helps the reader understand the meaning of the word poverty?
The girl was one of those pretty and charming young creatures who sometimes are born, as if by a slip of fate, into a family of clerks. She had no dowry, no expectations, no way of being known, understood, loved, married by any rich and distinguished man; so she let herself be married to a little clerk of the Ministry of Public Instruction.

She dressed plainly because she could not dress well, but she was unhappy as if she had really fallen from a higher station; since with women there is neither caste nor rank, for beauty, grace and charm take the place of family and birth. Natural ingenuity, instinct for what is elegant, a supple mind are their sole hierarch, and often make of women of the people the equals of the very greatest ladies.

Mathilde suffered ceaselessly, feeling herself born to enjoy all delicacies and all luxuries. She was distressed at the poverty of her dwelling, at the bareness of the walls, at the shabby chairs, the ugliness of the curtains. All those things, of which another woman of her rank would never even have been conscious, tortured her and made her angry. The sight of the little Breton peasant who did her humble housework aroused in her despairing regrets and bewildering dreams. She thought of silent antechambers hung with Oriental tapestry, illumined by tall bronze candelabra, and of two great footmen in knee breeches who sleep in the big armchairs, made drowsy by the oppressive heat of the stove. She thought of long reception halls hung with ancient silk, of the dainty cabinets containing priceless curiosities and of the little coquettish perfumed reception rooms made for chatting at five o'clock with intimate friends, with men famous and sought after, whom all women envy and whose attention they all desire.
