Answer:
The Portrait of a Lady’ is the story of the author and his grandmother. The grandmother appeared to be so old that he could not imagine her being young and pretty, someone who had a husband. She was short and slightly bent. The author had seen his grandfather’s portrait, an old man with a turban and a long white beard covering his chest. To the author, his grandfather didn’t seem like a man who could have a wife and children, but someone who could have lots of grandchildren. His grandmother used to move around the house in ‘Spotless White’ with her one hand resting on her waist and her other hand counting the beads of her rosary. In the initial days, the author and his grandmother had a good relationship. She used to wake him up and get him ready for school and she used to pack the things required by him for the day and walked him to school everyday. She used to visit the temple that was attached to the school. They both used to come back home together with stray dogs roaming around them while his grandmother would carry the stale chapattis to feed them. Soon, the parents of the author, who went to the city to settle in and called them. As they reached the city, his relationship with his grandmother took a turn. Though they shared the room, there bond grew apart. He started going to an English medium school and she no longer accompanied him to school. There were also no stray dogs who roamed around them while walking back home. She used to ask him about his day and what he had learned. She didn’t understand anything as everything was in another language which she could not understand. She didn’t approve of the new syllabus that he was studying because she thought that they did not teach him about God and the scriptures. And they didn't see each other as much. As the days passed, he grew older and soon went to a university. He had his own room and this made their relationship more complicated. She stopped talking to everyone and spent her whole day sitting at her spinning wheel. But, she loved feeding sparrows in the verandah at dawn, breaking bread into pieces and feeding it to the birds was her daily routine. The birds would sit on her legs, her head, and sometimes even on her shoulders. Soon, the author decided to go abroad for further studies. She came to the railway station to leave him off. She was not sentimental, continuously recited her prayers and she kissed him on the forehead. After five years, as he returned home and she was there to pick him at the station She clasped him within her arms and didn’t say a word. One day, she didn’t recite her prayers but instead collected the women of the neighborhood, got a drum and started singing. The next morning, she was ill with mild fever. The doctor said that there was nothing to worry about but she was sure that her end was near. She didn’t want to waste her time talking to anyone in the family anymore but spend her last hours
reciting her prayers laying on the bed. She died and so her body lay on the bed, lifeless. As they prepared for her funeral, they saw all the sparrows sitting in the verandah around her, mourning her death.

have a good day :)
Explanation:
Answer:
Another responsibility of citizens is voting. The law does not require citizens to vote, but voting is a very important part of any democracy. By voting, citizens are participating in the democratic process. Citizens vote for leaders to represent them and their ideas, and the leaders support the citizens' interests
Explanation:
It is important because without it citizens would not be able to choose the people who will run their government. It is also a major responsibility. Those that do not vote are failing to carry out a civic responsibility. They are also handing over their political power to views they may oppose.
Voting. While voting is a right and privilege of citizenship, it is also a duty or responsibility. By voting, citizens have a voice in their government and help ensure that the democratic representative system of government is maintained

Explanation:
In lines 14-35 how does Porphyria act towards her lover? How does her lover react?
Answer:
Porphyria acts happy and caring to her lover. She caresses him and submitted herself.
But the lover could not reciprocate that love because as much as he realized her love for him and her dedication, he remained skeptical and overwhelmed with that love.
Explanation:
Robert Browning's "Porphyria's Lover," tells the tale of two lovers and the over-encompassing love that would lead one to kill the other. The speaker of the poem is the unknown lover who would kill his love, Porphyria, not because of anything wrong but because he loved her.
From lines 14 to 35, the speaker talks of how Porphyria had come to him despite the "wind and rain" of that night. She acts all lovey with him, giving herself to his happiness and trying to seduce him into responding back. The speaker reveals,
She put my arm about her waist,
And made her smooth white shoulder bare,
And all her yellow hair displaced,
And, stooping, made my cheek lie there,
And spread, o'er all, her yellow hair,
Murmuring how she loved me --
Through this act, the speaker knows she loves him. But in a sense of overwhelming desire and love, the lover will kill Porphyria to make sure she remains his forever.
Happy and proud; at last I knew
Porphyria worshipped me; surprise
Made my heart swell, and still it grew
While I debated what to do.

What do you know about the Ku Klux Klan? Do you think they--and other groups like them--should have the right to exist in the US? State your reasons.
A Raisin in the Sun
Act 2 scene 2
Answer and Explanation:
This is a personal question. The answer is supposed to be your opinion. Thus, feel free to edit and change anything in the answer below to adjust it to your beliefs:
"A Raisin in the Sun" is a play by Lorraine Hansberry in which the characters are an African-American family. In the play, the Ku Klux Klan is mentioned:
BENEATHA: Mama, if there are two things we, as people, have got to overcome, one is the Ku Klux Klan - and the other is Mrs. Johnson.
The Ku Klux Klan is a hate group that preaches white supremacy and anti-immigration ideas. I know that, throughout its existence, the Klan has terrorized the lives of non-white people, sometimes even killing black leaders and politicians.
I do not think the KKK or any other groups like them should have the right to exist in the US or anywhere else in the world. Even though we are free to believe in anything we want, our beliefs should not be used to harm others. To be frank, believing in the superiority of a race - especially when we all know race is more of a social construct than a reality - seems absurd to me. Someone's physical features, culture, or place of origin should not be seen as determinant to their superiority or inferiority. We are all human beings, and the need to see others as less human is barbaric, to say the least.

The space budget was a staggering sum of $5,400 million.
Americans paid more for Cigarettes and cigars than they did for the space program.
A man would land on the moon before the decade was over.
Answer: Americans paid more for Cigarettes and cigars than they did for the space program.
Explanation:
On September 12, 1962, President Kennedy gave a speech about the goals of the U.S. in terms of Space travel. He spoke of how the annual cost to prepare the U.S. to go to space was $5,400 million but then made a joke of how this amount was less than the amount that Americans paid yearly for cigarettes and cigars.
He then went on to state his view that America would be on the moon by the end of the 60s and this was accomplished in 1969.
