I need help with 2 English problems Which details support the idea that the residents of Nameless, Tennessee, live simple but meaningful lives?

Nameless, Tennessee, was a town of maybe ninety people if you pushed it, a dozen houses along the road, a couple of barns, same number of churches, a general merchandise store selling Fire Chief gasoline, and a community center with a lighted volleyball court.

Miss Ginny edged to the door and looked me and my truck over. Clearly, she didn't approve.

"Knew the old medicines," Watts said. "Only drugstore he needed was a good kitchen cabinet."

He held a hand out toward the dusty bottles. "Our tomorrows."

Which details does the author use in "August Heat" to develop the theme that extreme weather conditions influence human behavior?

Select each correct answer.

The one thing of which I was fully conscious was the awful heat, that came up from the dusty asphalt pavement as an almost palpable wave.

“Everything is hot and glary outside,” I said. “This seems an oasis in the wilderness.”

But the heat is stifling. It is enough to send a man mad.

There seemed nothing in the man strong enough to sustain that mountain of flesh.

Answer 1

The residents of Nameless, Tennessee, are depicted as living simple yet meaningful lives through communal activities, traditional knowledge, and simple structures. 'August Heat' uses vivid descriptions of heat to show how extreme weather conditions impact human behavior, indicating the profound effects of such conditions on individuals.

Step-by-step explanation:

The residents of Nameless, Tennessee, live simple but meaningful lives as depicted through the text's emphasis on communal landmarks and the local knowledge of folk medicine. The text mentions the small population, the simple but sufficient number of structures including houses, barns, churches, and a general store, as well as the presence of a community center that implies a close-knit community with recreational activities. Miss Ginny's critical assessment of the newcomer suggests a protective stance towards their simple ways, and when Watts speaks of 'old medicines' and the reliance on natural remedies, it indicates a meaningful connection to traditional knowledge and self-reliance.

Regarding 'August Heat,' the author uses vivid descriptions of oppressive heat and how it impacts the environment and the people to develop the theme that extreme weather conditions influence human behavior. Phrases such as the 'awful heat' coming 'up from the dusty asphalt pavement,' the stifling conditions that 'are enough to send a man mad,' and the contrast of the stifling outdoor heat to an 'oasis in the wilderness' effectively convey this theme. Moreover, personal discomfort, as illustrated by the character who appears unsustainable 'to sustain that mountain of flesh,' suggests that extreme heat has profound effects on individuals.
