.. What is the theme of the excerpt from "Fish Cheeks"? Support your claim with at least one piece of evidence from the text
Answer:
The theme of “Fish Cheeks” is be proud of who you are. Initially, Amy was
embarrassed about being Chinese, especially in the face of having her crush, Robert,
who is white, come to her house for a Chinese Christmas dinner. That dinner “threw
her deeper into despair” and she “wanted to disappear” with embarrassment.
When her father belched loudly to show his satisfaction with the meal, Amy was
“stunned into silence for the rest of the night” because she was so embarrassed.
What Amy couldn’t see was that her parents chose all her favorite Chinese foods to
celebrate their culture and share it with the minister and Robert. Amy’s father even
saved the best part of the fish, the cheek, for her.
The fish cheeks symbolize a celebration of Amy’s culture in this story and by
offering them to Amy, her father is telling her to be proud of being Chinese. However,
Amy’s mother also recognizes that Amy wishes to be American, and so gives her a
mini-skirt, which in this story symbolizes Amy’s desire to be American. By giving Amy
both the fish cheek and the miniskirt, her parents are telling her that it’s okay to be
both Chinese and American and she can be proud of being both. Her mother advised
her that “your only shame is to have shame,” meaning don’t be ashamed of who you
are, rather celebrate your differences and the aspects that make you, you. Years later,
Amy realizes (epiphany) that her parents, by choosing all her favorite Chinese foods,
were trying to tell her to be proud of being Chinese, and that realization leads to the
theme of the story: be proud of all the aspects of who you are.

Based on how some Christian elements are portrayed in "Beowulf," what role did God play in the lives of people during the Anglo-Saxon period? Include page numbers and line numbers in your response as necessary.
Has been a long time since ive read beowulf, but I know that during this time there was missions taking place to convert angles and evangalize england/the angles. most likely they were establishing benedictine monastaries. I would look for line and page numbers that discuss interactions with monks/monastaries and people on missions converting the anglo saxons; the role that God (God of christinaity) plays in peoples lives is usually that they fear him and want to please him and do things to attain salvation. Not sure if in beowulf god is God of christianity or a god in general or a different kind of god.

"The Autobiography of Charles Darwin" by Charles Darwin. Excerpt from Voyage of the Beagle from December 27, 1831, to October 2, 1836. ( Question 1: Which paragraphs from "The Autobiography of Charles Darwin most effectively develop Darwin's claim that the voyage of the "Beagle" was the most important event in his life? Use evidence from the text to support your response. Needs to be two or three complete paragraphs. ( Please don't repost anyone else's answers that are on her or any other websites). Will Mark Brainliest if correct.
Charles Darwin set sail on the ship HMS Beagle on December 27, 1831, from Plymouth, England. Darwin was twenty-two years old when he was hired to be the ship’s naturalist. Most of the trip was spent sailing around South America. There Darwin spent considerable time ashore collecting plants and animals. Darwin filled notebooks with his observations of plants, animals, and geology. The trip was an almost five-year adventure and the ship returned to Falmouth, England, on October 2, 1836.
Throughout South America, Darwin collected a variety of bird specimens. One key observation Darwin made occurred while he was studying the specimens from the Galapagos Islands. He noticed the finches on the island were similar to the finches from the mainland, but each showed certain characteristics that helped them to gather food more easily in their specific habitat. He collected many specimens of the finches on the Galapagos Islands. These specimens and his notebooks provided Darwin with a record of his observations as he developed the theory of evolution through natural selection.

The poem "The Golden Cat" by Oliver Herford uses figurative language to create meaning. Describes how figurative language creates meaning or communicates the theme in the poem. Use specific examples from the poem in your answer.
Its for a test and I dont know what to put help me-
The figurative language encourages the theme that the sun is something alive, dynamic and that interacts with humans.
We can arrive at this answer because:
The theme of the poem is that the sun is so important to humans that it interacts with them like a living thing.For this reason, the author compares the sun to a cat that steps on roofs and presents a dynamism with humans.This enhancement with humans is so strong that the author uses personification to show the cat representing the sun, doing things that only humans do.An example of personification used in the poem can be seen in the line "The never tired smiling One/That Human People call the Sun."

Write 100-word email to your close friend telling her about shopping preferences
Answer:
Hey Samantha! Sorry I wasn't able to respond to your email yesterday me and my family went to the recent opening of the new mall near my house and boy was it nice, it was just boring because all we did was shop in the five different shoe stores in the mall and I hate shopping for shoes I wanted to shop for videos games which is like who wouldn't? They're so many different genres of video games you will never get bored of shopping for them, maybe later I would see if there was a comic book store either of those would be amazing they're even samples of video games or cheap comic books incase you are on a budget why spend 200 dollars on a pair of shoes when you can get video games that will give you months of fun for only 60? Maybe it's just me but I think shopping for video games is a way better way to shop then go to a dozen shoe stores and spend so much money. Anyways, hope you forgive me for yesterday! Later.

Morning-cry mighty."

What does the speaker mean when he says “I was just being a man”?
Answer:
basically i think when he says "i was just being a man" he was just being there for his girl, because he loves her. when he says "if you saw my woman you would understand" he is saying that if you saw her you would understand why he is going to see her even though the law says it's wrong. that's why he compares her to a car, hes saying that if she was your girl, you would understand.
What are the most important factors for a "good
school”'? What is it that makes one school better
than another? Is private school better than public
school? Is a school with a diverse population
better than a school a school with a non-diverse
population? Explain your answer with examples.
Answer:
The important factors for a "good" school are: great leadership, high expectations of everyone involved, security and organization of the students, and of course, diversity. One school is noticeable "better" than the other when it shows great management and distribution of knowledgeable and useful materials to the students. Diversity is important because it helps people to be more open-minded and accepting of all individuals regardless of religion, sexual orientation, and skin color. School with diverse population is way better than school who only one or two ethics group, because this results on a narrow perspective of the world and other knowledge that is not found in school textbooks, but to the environment as well.
For example, privilege schools with a huge population of white students who have little to none exposure to POC can result in closemindedness or ignorance of POC's struggles because they are "not used to it" since they only hang-out with people the same as them.
