Item 5
Read the excerpt from Chapter 3 of Who Is Sonia Sotomayor?

One day, Sonia walked into her dorm room. As she explained years later in the book about her life, Sonia found her friend Felice sitting there. Felice looked embarrassed. She had seen a letter in Sonia’s wastebasket. It was an invitation to join a very special club called Phi Beta Kappa. The club was only for the very top students. At Princeton, that meant the best of the best! Sonia had thrown the letter away because she had never heard of Phi Beta Kappa.

explain at least one solution for overgeneralizing mentioned in the article is your brain a liar?​

Answers

Answer:

One way to solve overgeneralizing is to adopt a more realistic language about an event or a person.

Explanation:

Overgeneralizing is the term used to refer to a language, used to describe an event, in a very exaggerated and generalized way. The problem with this type of language is that it sends an incorrect message to the brain that can stimulate angry and stressful feelings

There are a few ways to minimize overgeneralizing. One of these ways is with the use of a more realistic language.

For example, if you live with someone who gets the towel wet on the bed often, you will practice overgeneralizing if you say "You always leave the towel wet on the bed," you can avoid this by talking "you leave the towel wet on the bed often."

Read the excerpt from Cristina Garcia's Dreaming in Cuban.
I was only two years old when I left Cuba but I remember everything that's happened to me since I was a baby,
even word-for-word conversations. I was sitting in my grandmother's lap, playing with her drop pearl earrings,
when my mother told her we were leaving the country. Abuela Celia called her a traitor to the revolution. Mom
tried to pull me away but I clung to the Abuela and screamed at the top of my lungs. My grandfather came
running and said, "Celia, let the girl go. She belongs with Lourdes." This was the last time I saw her.
How does the structure of the excerpt add meaning to the passage?

Write a story about a time when something changed dramatically.

Answers

Answer:

There have been very few events throughout my lifetime that I feel have impacted or inspired me with such noteworthiness and that I know will change my outlook on the world and affect me forever. One of those events occurred when I traveled to Portugal, my parent’s homeland. From this excursion in 2007, I learned the importance of family, most importantly the distant kind. It provided me with a totally different perspective on the world and how large and extended one’s family can really be; even across cultures and continents. I felt so fortunate learning this lesson at a young age and growing to appreciate the ideals I was brought up with as a child. The family I have in Portugal has always been there; however, their faces have aged and…show more content…

Since the town I was in was in a very rural area of the country, on the northern most point, near the border of Spain, whatever meats, fruits and vegetables I ate were freshly grown or raised on local farms. I had a first-hand experience with this when I went to my grandmother’s very old friend’s house. While I was there, I saw my first freshly prepared chicken with the head, feathers,and feet removed in front of my eyes. Even though this seemed like a gory and almost disgusting thing to me at the time, I later found out, in the film Food Inc., that the ways animals are treated in this country are much worse than what I saw that day. Nonetheless, the freshness of ingredients in any cooking is always a plus, and this made better by being at the table with my family and friends. From having spent these few hours with my relatives in Portugal, I was able to come away knowing great tasting food and beautiful, and at times gory, memories. Quite honestly, I’ve never had better tasting chicken. The Portuguese culture, which I had already grown up with in the U.S., was a main part of the trip in and of itself. The magnificent architecture that I saw there, even though it was decaying with time, was very symbolic of the Portuguese heritage. I learnt to never be scared to try new things.

What are key elements of the literature of the civil rights movement?

Answers

The Civil Rights Movement did not suddenly appear out of nowhere in the twentieth century. Efforts to improve the quality of life for African Americans are as old. The American civil rights movement, based mainly in African American churches and colleges of the South, involved marches, boycotts, and extensive efforts of civil disobedience, such as sit-ins, as well as voter education and voting drives. a federal court ruled that the laws in place to keep buses segregated were unconstitutional, and the U.S. Supreme Court eventually agreed. The Montgomery bus boycott was one of the first major movements that initiated social change during the civil rights movement. Civil rights movement literature performed the same expansion of the movement's temporal boundaries. It built on earlier literary protest traditions, namely, literary abolitionism, to perform its cultural work, and it also used the memory of past activism to create a protest ancestry for civil rights.
