Amanda Gorman
What would it look like, sound like, and/or feel like if your generation were to leave behind a country that is better than the one you are inheriting?

So while once we asked
how could we possibly prevail over catastrophe?
Now we assert
How could catastrophe possibly prevail over us?
We will not march back to what was
but move to what shall be
A country that is bruised but whole,
benevolent but bold,
fierce and free
We will not be turned around
or interrupted by intimidation
because we know our inaction and inertia
will be the inheritance of the next generation
Our blunders become their burdens
But one thing is certain:
If we merge mercy with might,
and might with right,
then love becomes our legacy
and change our children’s birthright
So let us leave behind a country
better than the one we were left with

What would it look like, sound like, and/or feel like if your generation were to leave behind a country that is better than the one you are inheriting?

Explanation:

Henry V is one of Shakespeare’s most appealing characters.
He was rambunctious when young and courageous when older.
But suppose Henry went to an American school.
By about the third week of nursery school, Henry’s teacher
would be sending notes home saying that Henry “had another
hard day today.” He was disruptive during circle time. By
midyear, there’d be sly little hints dropped that maybe Henry’s
parents should think about medication for attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder. Many of the other boys are on it, and they
find school much easier.
By elementary school, Henry would be lucky to get 20-
minute snatches of recess. During one, he’d jump off the top of
the jungle gym, and, by the time he hit the ground, the
supervising teachers would be all over him for breaking the safety
rules. He’d get in a serious wrestling match with his buddy
Falstaff, and, by the time he got him in a headlock, there’d be
suspensions all around.
First, Henry would withdraw. He’d decide that the official
school culture is for wimps and softies and he’d just disengage. In
kindergarten, he’d wonder why he just couldn’t be good. By
junior high, he’d lose interest in trying and his grades would
plummet.Then he’d rebel. If the official high school culture was über-
If it valued cooperation and
nurturing, he’d be über-crude.
sensitivity, he’d devote his mental energies to violent video

and tightly ambitious, he’d exile himself into a lewd and
unsupervised laddie subculture. He’d have vague high ambitions
but no realistic way to realize them. Day to day, he’d look
completely adrift.

Last week, I was looking after two little girls as a babysitter. The parents liked clowns and had a big collection of them. They even had a special room for their collection.

That night, the children were playing in this room. Many of the clowns were just statues, and some were life-size. The biggest clown sat in a small rocking chair. I started to feel more and more uneasy about this statue. I felt as though the eyes were looking at me all the time. I decided to call the parents. "I'm so sorry to bother you, but may I move this clown in the rocking chair. It's starting to scare the kids and me", I said."What clown are you talking about? I don't remember a big clown in the chair. Are you sure?" the mother asked hurriedly. "Yes, I'm sure, It's sitting right here. I'm looking at it right now", I said."Take the kids and get out of the house, now. Run to our neighbors. Call me immediately when you get there, the mother said. Frightened and confused, I took the kids and ran out. When I and the kids came to the neighbors, I called the mother. "What's wrong? Did anything happen? Are you all okay?" The mother asked. "Yes, we are fine, I said. "But you were in danger. It happened again. Soon we will be there with the police, I'll explain everything when we get there", said the mother.

Later, the parents explained to me that for some time the next door there lived a neighbor who gave them problems. He was mentally ill. He heard voices. Many times he sneaked into their house and tried to kidnap the children. This time, he dressed up in a clown suit, painted his face, and waited quietly until he had the opportunity to take the children away. The parents informed the police many times. But they didn't have any proof. Now, it happened again. They thanked me, paid me, and drove me home.​

Mary Shelly, being a Romantic, believed that... Select one: a. Science was purely evil. B. Imagination is helpful in small dosages. c. Imagination is necessary. D. "to dwell in thought is for those that have nothing else to do". E. A and C are correct.

Answers

Answer:

E. A and C are correct.

Explanation:

The Romantic movement was a literary movement that focuses on the relationship of man and nature, the importance of imagination, and naturalistic and realistic elements of human nature. It also believed in the detrimental nature of science and how it acts against the very nature of imagination.

Mary Shelley's gothic novel "Frankenstein" revolves around science and how its use affects everyone. The creature became a monster that will be the downfall of not only his creator but everyone associated with him. In his need to try to be human, he was pushed to become the monster that everyone loathed. So, Mary Shelley, through her book, believed that science is purely evil and how imagination is necessary.

Thus, the correct answer is option E.

Explanation:

Nike's latest video links motherhood to playing sports. In the video you can see several famous women and athletes like Serena Willians playing sports while they are pregnant and after childbirth. While there are images of women playing sports, there is a woman's narration about the relationship between strength and challenges that exist in sports and the strength that exists in motherhood. The video ends with the question: "Can you be an athlete? If you can't, nobody else can".

In this video, the creator's goal was achieved, for being able to relate a topic as discussed and with as many stereotypes as motherhood, with the values of the Nike brand, such as strength, movement and resilience.

Are the children facing an external or internal conflict as they walk to the closet and unlock the door for Margot? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

As the children walk to the closet and unlock the door for Margot, they are facing an internal conflict.

Explanation:

This question refers to the short story "All Summer in a Day", by Ray Bradbury.  The story is set in Venus, which is now colonized by humans. The children are at school waiting anxiously for the rain to stop and the sun to appear, which only happens once every 7 years, and only lasts for about an hour. At first, we have an external conflict between Margot and the other children. She is disliked and bullied because she came from Earth only five years ago. She still remembers what the sun looks and feels like, whereas the other kids do not. As the time for the sun the show up draws near, the children lock Margot up in a closet.

After a whole hour outside, enjoying the sun and its warmth, the children are forced back inside by the storm that will last, once again, 7 years. Only then do they think of Margot. Only then do they realize how awful what they did is. They struggle with their feelings - the sadness of years of rain to come, as well as their cruelty toward fragile Margot. As they walk to the closet, they are in conflict with themselves, which means it is an internal conflict.

2. These men risk their lives so that we can live safely.

3. Team of rescue workers arrived at the spot in order to save those involved in the accident.

Explanation:

We completed the sentences above with "so", "so that", and "in order to", which are some conjunctions of purpose. Other examples of such conjunctions are "to", and "so as to". The function of these conjunctions is to create a relationship of purpose in a sentence, connecting two ideas. One idea is the goal, the purpose of the other. Let's use one of the sentences above as an example:

3. Team of rescue workers arrived at the spot in order to save those involved in the accident.

What is the purpose of the team of rescue workers arriving? It is to save those involved in the accident. To indicate that, we connected the two ideas with "in order to".

STORY NAME: A Respectable Woman By Kate Chopin

QUESTION: This story ends with Mrs. Baroda saying that she has "overcome everything." What has Mrs. Baroda overcome? Consider the title of this text in your response and support your response with two citations from this text. Explain what your quotes mean and how they support your argument.

Answers

Answer:

I believe that what Mrs. Baroda has overcome was her "attraction" to Gouvernail. I think that in the future she will try to stay home the entire time without giving into the impulse. I believe this because I think that she took time to get over the attraction when she kept telling her husband that she did not want Gouvernail to visit again. As she stated she viewed herself as a "respectable woman". So it is possible that maybe she wanted to have Gouvernail over again to prove to herself that she could stay at home without having impulses and without acting upon them. One thing that goes against my thoughts is the last line, "This time I shall be very nice to him". You could take that two ways, the first being that she will not be rude and still not give into impulses. Or not be rude, but the impulses, might not be controlled.

this is not an adverb because adverbs are words that modify a verb and Jesus of Nazareth is not a verb.

this also is not an adjective because an adjective describes the quality or state of being of a noun. Jesus is a noun, he is a person(, place or thing), but other people can't describe something.

Who is Chief justice Warren?

Warren was the most likely candidate to succeed Chief Justice Fred Vinson when he passed away in September 1953 because of his background in law enforcement.

Warren received Eisenhower's nomination because he shared his political views and was a fellow moderate Republican.

Warren, arguing for the court, declared that "separate educational facilities are intrinsically unequal," rejecting the "separate but equal" principle that had been upheld since Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. The court then urged the desegregation of public schools with "all deliberate speed."

Therefore, in this Chief Justice Warren claim about the doctrine of “separate but equal” creates inferiority was the doctrine specifically causes feelings of inferiority in minority children.

Wiesel makes reference to or alludes to what central event? Why does he use fragments to evoke the memory?

Answers

Answer:

1. Wiesel makes reference to the time when his family was deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp and more precisely the moment he and his father discovered the fiery furnace where Jews were thrown into.

2.The story was told in bits and fragments to provide a detailed information of the events that transpired and to reconcile the thoughts he had at that age to what was the reality and how he tried to correct the abnormalities.

Explanation:

In May 1944, Eliezer Wiesel and his family were deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp where he eventually lost his mother and elder sister. He was just 15 at this time. When he and his father saw the fiery flame where people were burned, they strongly believed that the world did not know what was happening. His statements in his Nobel Acceptance speech were made in reference to this boy (his young self).

He used fragments to paint a more vivid picture of the events. Fragmentation helped him to provide detailed information which the reader could connect.

As the bus moved east along Dexter Avenue, the seats filled up block by block with white passengers getting off work from the downtown stores and offices. The ten front seats went quickly, and soon riders were standing in the aisle, keeping their balance by clutching poles as the bus stopped and started. Just before they reached Court Square, Claudette realized that a white woman was standing in the aisle between the four seats in her row. Clearly the woman expected Claudette and her three schoolmates to vacate the entire row so she could sit down in one of the seats.
