Excerpt from “The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass”
3 Here, too, the slaves of all the other farms received their monthly allowance of food, and their yearly clothing. The men and women slaves received, as their monthly allowance of food, eight pounds of pork, or its equivalent in fish, and one bushel of corn meal. Their yearly clothing consisted of two coarse linen shirts, one pair of linen trousers, like the shirts, one jacket, one pair of trousers for winter, made of coarse negro cloth, one pair of stockings, and one pair of shoes; the whole of which could not have cost more than seven dollars. The allowance of the slave children was given to their mothers, or the old women having the care of them. The children unable to work in the field had neither shoes, stockings, jackets, nor trousers, given to them; their clothing consisted of two coarse linen shirts per year. When these failed them, they went naked until the next allowance-day.

The captain tells jim that they are after his sea chest. Now imagine you are jim and you open the sea chest. What do you think you will find the sea chest? Write in about 80 words
Answer:
If I were Jim, I would expect that when opening the chest I would find many precious metals, jewelry and other riches.
Explanation:
This question is about "Treasure Island" that tells the story of how Jim Hawkins, a pirate, sailed in search of a treasure chest buried by another pirate. If we were Jim, we would, like him, think that the chest would be full of riches, metals and precious jewels that would make him rich. However, when Jim actually has access to the chest he discovers that the chest contained a few gold coins, a lot of oiled paper, a suit, a compass, pistols and a quadrant.

Allen concludes his editorial: "With controversy comes debate, enlightenment and renewed commitment. Perhaps, then, we are in the court’s debt for not treating the flag-burning case like the simple case it is. Let the controversy rage. After all, it is in robust debate that we are most true to ourselves."
Why is it difficult for scholars, judges, and lawmakers to balance robust speech protections with the necessity of maintaining a peaceful society? Provide evidence, examples, and/or scenarios.

Allen concludes his editorial: "With controversy comes debate, enlightenment and renewed commitment. Perhaps, then, we are in the court’s debt for not treating the flag-burning case like the simple case it is. Let the controversy rage. After all, it is in robust debate that we are most true to ourselves."
Why is it difficult for scholars, judges, and lawmakers to balance robust speech protections with the necessity of maintaining a peaceful society? Provide evidence, examples, and/or scenarios.
Answer:
Allen states that tolerance is at the center of the debate. While those against the Court´s decision claim that a message can be sent in more peaceful ways, those who support it consider that a different outcome would be a governmental intrusion in political speech and a violation of the 1st amendment. Although Allen clearly states his support of the resolution, he does consider that the debate is necessary to further develop tolerance and a better understanding between the opposing positions.
Explanation:
The author refers to a case of flag burning that had the Supreme Court ruling that people have the right to do such a thing to protest against the government.

How does Poe use repetition, sound devices, and point of view for meaning and affect in “The Raven” what is the effect of the structure of the poem? Use evidence from the text to support your response. Your response should be at least three complete paragraphs.
it won’t let me put the actual poem in so just look up the raven by edgar allen poe and it’ll pop up PLSS ANSWER ASAP PLS
Answer:
No poem in American -- or perhaps in English--poetry exploits assonance and alliteration more than The Raven. These devices, coupled with repetition, result in an eerie, hollow, hypnotic effect throughout the poem--exactly what the poet wanted. Poe uses end rhyme AND internal rhyme AND enjambment to further contribute to flow, both of sound and 'story' (plot, if you want)
Poe does truly get carried away at times throughout the poem, carried away to the point where the rhyme itself becomes more important than the content, as in "perched" in the these lines( and note that for a bird 'perched and 'sat' are virtually synonymous:
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door—
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door—
Perched, and sat, and nothing more
Most of the repeated vowel sounds in the poem are rounded and OPEN, contributing significantly to the hollow, echoing effect, then sharply contrasted by the short, unaspirated vowel of 'tap, tap'. The poem is a structrural tour de force

Explanation:
how does the author illustrate that communism has been largely unsuccessful in the countries that have adopted it
Answer:
The author illustrated that communism has been largely unsuccessful in the countries that adopted it by citing the examples of Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union and Mao Zedong of China whose reigns as communist leaders resulted in mass killings, oppression of opposers, and dictatorship instead of the equity and equality that a communist society should be known for.
Explanation:
The article, 'An Introduction to Communism', by Jessica McBirney explained that the most prominent founding father of the ideology of communism was Karl Marx. Marz envisioned a society in which the workers would form a revolution against the ruling class because they felt that they were being oppressed. Such revolutions did occur in Russia leading to the formation of the Soviet Union, as well as China.
However, the leaders of these societies did not really practice ideal communism for their rulerships were marked by the mass killing of political dissenters, and dictatorship by the rulers instead of the equality of social classes that Karl Marx proposed.

Describe the effects of low work wage and high inflation in 1948.
Answer:Most Americans believe that a rising tide should lift all boats—that as the economy expands, everybody should reap the rewards. And for two-and-a-half decades beginning in the late 1940s, this was how our economy worked. Over this period, the pay (wages and benefits) of typical workers rose in tandem with productivity (how much workers produce per hour). In other words, as the economy became more efficient and expanded, everyday Americans benefited correspondingly through better pay. But in the 1970s, this started to change.
