Excerpt from: Nadia's Stage Fright by Clark Benson
When the big night finally arrived, Nadia prepared backstage. She watched her classmates display their own various talents. Then came the moment that both excited and terrified her; she was up next. The audience's applause sounded like ocean waves and made her feel welcome. Still, she could feel those butterflies fluttering in her belly, and she felt her palms start to sweat. Nadia had already performed her routine backstage, but it seemed as if it hadn't worked this time! She sat down on the piano bench and looked at the black and white keys, which seemed unfamiliar now.

Refer to the article "Opinion: Bicultural Identity Is Something to Be Embraced."
Read the claim and the reason.
Claim: Young people may be more capable of embracing their bicultural identity and sharing it with the dominant culture.
Reason: Her daughter openly talks to her friends about Indian culture, sharing information about Indian dance and music.
How does this reason logically support the author's claim?
A: It shows how much sharing one's culture breaks down barriers to acceptance.
B: It shows how much work the author has done to teach her daughter to be proud of her heritage.
C: It shows that her daughter is confident in herself and comfortable with her Indian and American identities.
D: It describes how it can be challenging to fit into a dominant culture.
Answer:
I'm confident the answer would be C!
Explanation:
Mainly because if her friends asked about her culture most would be scared but unlike others she was confident and wanted to educate her friends
Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
The answer isn't A, because the reason doesn't talk about acceptance. The answer also isn't B, because the reason doesn't bring up the author teaching her daughter how to be proud. The answer also isn't D, because the reason talks nothing about any challenges the daughter had fitting into her culture. So that leaves C, and since the reason says the daughter 'openly talks to her friends about her Indian culture' that implies that she is confident enough in herself and her identity to talk about her heritage.

How the rabbit got his short tail & the blue ox makes lakes
How the Rabbit Got Its Short Tail & The Blue Ox Makes Lakes Traditional How the Rabbit Got Its Short Tail 1Long ago, all the animals lived together on Animal Island. Rabbit was one of the proudest animals, and he liked to show off his very long, furry tail. Fox grew tired of listening to Rabbit boast about his tail and decided to play a trick on him. 2One winter morning, Fox went to the lake where the animals liked to drink. The lake was frozen, so Fox cut a hole in the ice. Then, she tied a fish to her tail and dipped it into the chilly water. When Rabbit arrived at the lake, he wanted to know what was happening. 3“I’m fishing with my tail, Rabbit,” announced Fox, displaying the fish. 4“With my long, beautiful tail, I can certainly catch ten fish!” bragged Rabbit. He cut into the ice and dipped his tail into the water. Overnight the water froze, and Rabbit’s tail became stuck. Fox laughed at Rabbit, who tugged so hard that his long tail popped off! 5And that is why rabbits have short tails. The Blue Ox Makes Lakes 6In America's pioneer days, Paul Bunyan was the biggest, strongest lumberjack ever to swing an ax. He could chop down a whole forest with one swing. He could eat four dozen eggs and a sack of potatoes each morning for breakfast. 7One winter, when the weather was so cold that the snow turned blue, Paul Bunyan found a baby ox nearly frozen in the ice. A big man like Paul Bunyan needed an ox to carry all the lumber he chopped. The lumberjack warmed the little ox by the fire, but he stayed as blue as the sky. Paul Bunyan named the animal Babe the Blue Ox. 8Babe grew as big as a house and carried the trees that Paul Bunyan chopped. He tricked the lumberjacks with heavy footsteps that shook the ground like earthquakes. As Babe the Blue Ox journeyed across the country, he left a trail of deep hoof prints. When those giant hoof prints filled with rain, they formed the thousand lakes of Minnesota. Qestion: How are the themes of these two stories similar?
Answer: they ore both brave and they both have somthing that they have in common they both have some scares
