Explanation:
“At its best, hip-hop lays bare
the empty moral cupboard
that is our generation's
legacy.” Whats the meaning what is the author trying to say?
Answer:
In his concluding paragraph on "Hip Hop World", McBride describes hip hop as being a warning. Hip hop, as we know it, has evolved heavily from the era that McBride was recalling. However, the message of hip hop being a warning towards the older generations is still crystal clear.
There was one specific line in that concluding paragraph that caught my eye and lends a solid foundations towards McBride's arguement. "At its best, hip hop lays bare the empty moral cupboard that is our generation's legacy". Hip hop was a way for African Americans to voice the discrimination and injustices against them. They used their music as a revolutionary movement, giving voice to their struggles and finding another home within their community. By laying bare all that had happened from the beginning of hip hop in the seventies up until 2007, McBride illustrated just how important it was that African Americans were given this gift to cry out and say "We are here".
Hip hop was also a warning in the way that it connected with so many people. It became a worldwide hit among the youth. Even white American teens struggling with poor families were able to relate to African Americans within their verses. This could be seen as a warning to the older generations that our generation will not tolerate the injustices thrust upon us. The youth has always been looked down upon and hated for being different. Since hip hop gave such a powerful voice to the youth, that is why it was so hard for McBride and others of his generation to accept that hip hop would be a cultural phenomenon. I think it is easy for older generations to underestimate and mistreat those of younger generations. They believe that we are not capable of maintaining whatever system that the old generations developed. Different influences from different time periods further separate the young from the old. But with hip hop, it gives the youth a chance to stand their ground and fight for what they believe is right.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth:
tell me the devices
Hey there!
Some poetic devices included in "The Road Not Taken" are the assonance in the poem's first line, emphasizing the "o" sound in "roads" and "yellow," the alliteration in the third line of the second stanza with "wanted wear," and, within this same line, the personification in the road "it was grassy and wanted wear." Also, imagery is used in the first line. The poem, overall, is a metaphor for the different directions one takes in life. ''

What feature of prose shares the same purpose as a stanza of poetry?
There are no answer choices so I can't be sure exactly what you're looking for, but I'd say paragraph.
A stanza is a group of lines forming the basic recurring metrical unit in a poem, used to separate topics and build a piece of poetry neatly. A paragraph is a distinct section of a piece of writing, usually dealing with a single theme and indicated by a new line, indentation, or numbering. Paragraphs separate thoughts and topics and are a building block for an essay or prose.

Explanation:
Read the excerpt from Animal Farm and the passage on the history of the Soviet Union.
In glowing sentences he painted a picture of Animal Farm as it might be when sordid labour was lifted from the animals' backs. His imagination had now run far beyond chaff-cutters and turnip-slicers. Electricity, he said, could operate threshing machines, ploughs, harrows, rollers, and reapers and binders, besides supplying every stall with its own electric light, hot and cold water, and an electric heater. By the time he had finished speaking, there was no doubt as to which way the vote would go. But just at this moment Napoleon stood up and, casting a peculiar sidelong look at Snowball, uttered a high-pitched whimper of a kind no one had ever heard him utter before.
At this there was a terrible baying sound outside, and nine enormous dogs wearing brass-studded collars came bounding into the barn. They dashed straight for Snowball, who only sprang from his place just in time to escape their snapping jaws. In a moment he was out of the door and they were after him. Too amazed and frightened to speak, all the animals crowded through the door to watch the chase. Snowball was racing across the long pasture that led to the road. He was running as only a pig can run, but the dogs were close on his heels. Suddenly he slipped and it seemed certain that they had him. Then he was up again, running faster than ever, then the dogs were gaining on him again. One of them all but closed his jaws on Snowball's tail, but Snowball whisked it free just in time. Then he put on an extra spurt and, with a few inches to spare, slipped through a hole in the hedge and was seen no more.
During the second half of the 1920s, Joseph Stalin set the stage for gaining absolute power by employing police repression against opposition elements within the Communist Party. The machinery of coercion had previously been used only against opponents of Bolshevism, not against party members themselves. The first victims were Politburo members Leon Trotskii, Grigorii Zinov'ev, and Lev Kamenev, who were defeated and expelled from the party in late 1927.
How does the conflict in the Animal Farm excerpt relate to the events in the historical passage?
Snowball's quick escape under the hedge is similar to how Stalin was expelled.
Snowball’s ideas about work relate to the Stalin’s efforts to gain total control.
Napoleon removes Snowball for his own purposes just as Stalin removed those in his own party.
Snowball's dream for the animals on the farm is the same as the dream of the Communist Party.
Answer:
Napoleon removes Snowball for his own purposes just as Stalin removed those in his own party.
Explanation:
"Animal farm" was written to be a great political allegory, pointing out sutuations of hypocrisy, seizure of power, inefficiency and abuse of authority between real political luders and their disastrous achievements in their countries.
This book directly refers to the history of societal union and shows how Stalin did not even consider his own allies in order to maintain his national power and dominance. This can be seen when Napoleon removes Snowball for his own purposes, just as Stalin removed those from his own party.

And dreadful objects so familiar,
That mothers shall but smile when they behold
Their infants quartered with the hands of war,
All pity choked with custom of fell deeds;
And Caesar’s spirit, ranging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice
Cry ‘Havoc’ and let slip the dogs of war,
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.”

D) Octavius

Which part of speech is "long" in the sentence below? My grandmother loved to take long walks in the woods with me.
Answer:
an adverb
Explanation:
Indeed, an adverb is one of the parts of speech in the English language. Basically, it is often used to modify verbs or groups of words in a sentence by telling us about the time, place, manner, or degree of what is been said.
So in this example, the word "long" acts as an adverb that modifies the verb "walk". In other words, it tells us the degree of walk the grandmother takes with her grandchild. Thus, the degree of the walk they used to have is expressed.

Sonnet 60 & the mowers song. Which sentence best summarizes the theme shared by both poems?
A. Nature is extremely powerful.
B. Love withers like beautiful flowers.
C. Mowers have a difficult job.
D. Time changes all aspects of life.
Answer:
D. Time changes all aspects of life
Explanation:
Shakespeare in Sonnet 60 describes the changes that come with time. In making these changes, the poet makes comparisons with nature. He compared the passage of time with the waves and tides which rush to replace each other. He also compares human life to the beautiful rise of the sun and its subsequent fall.
In Mower's Song, the poet also has strong ties with nature which are soon overshadowed by the presence of a girl. In time, he forgets about the grasses but they seem to be doing well without him who is now smitten by the girl's love. These two poems show that time changes all aspects of life.
Are middle school relationships destined to fail or to succeed? Why or why not?
Answer:
Explanation:
Sometimes, I’m a cynic. My belief in the inevitable failure of 95% of high school relationships to last until marriage exemplifies this.
The majority of high school students want to fit in. It’s human nature – at this adolescent stage of life, fitting in is as important as getting good grades or scoring high on the SAT. Even more important, to some. I don’t believe in the stereotypical groups presented in television shows: the jocks, the preps, the goths, loners, nerds, etc. However, I do think that there are variances to those archetypes that accumulate in what I like to call the “high school caste system”. More about that in a future post.

Read an excerpt from "Television and the Public Interest" and answer the question. The speech was delivered by Newton N. Minow, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, to the nation’s television executives in 1961.
[1] … But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite each of you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there, for a day, without a book, without a magazine, without a newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland.
[2] You will see a procession of game shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder, western bad men, western good men, private eyes, gangsters, more violence, and cartoons. And endlessly, commercials—many screaming, cajoling, and offending. And most of all, boredom. True, you'll see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, I only ask you to try it.
[3] Is there one person in this room who claims that broadcasting can't do better? Well a glance at next season's proposed programming can give us little heart. Of 73 and 1/2 hours of prime evening time, the networks have tentatively scheduled 59 hours of categories of action-adventure, situation comedy, variety, quiz, and movies. Is there one network president in this room who claims he can't do better?
[4] The best estimates indicate that during the hours of 5 to 6 P.M. sixty percent of your audience is composed of children under twelve. And most young children today, believe it or not, spend as much time watching television as they do in the schoolroom. I repeat—let that sink in, ladies and gentlemen—most young children today spend as much time watching television as they do in the schoolroom. It used to be said that there were three great influences on a child: home, school, and church. Today, there is a fourth great influence, and you ladies and gentlemen in this room control it.
[5] If parents, teachers, and ministers conducted their responsibilities by following the ratings, children would have a steady diet of ice cream, school holidays, and no Sunday school. What about your responsibilities? Is there no room on television to teach, to inform, to uplift, to stretch, to enlarge the capacities of our children? Is there no room for programs deepening their understanding of children in other lands? There are some fine children's shows, but they are drowned out in the massive doses of cartoons, violence, and more violence. Must these be your trademarks? Search your consciences and see if you cannot offer more to your young beneficiaries whose future you guide so many hours each and every day …
[6] You must provide a wider range of choices, more diversity, more alternatives. It is not enough to cater to the nation's whims; you must also serve the nation's needs. And I would add this: that if some of you persist in a relentless search for the highest rating and the lowest common denominator, you may very well lose your audience. Because … the people are wise, wiser than some of the broadcasters—and politicians—think.
Which two sentences provide evidence that what is on television is a "vast wasteland"?
a) "You will see a procession of game shows … blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder … private eyes, gangsters, more violence, and cartoons." (paragraph 2)
b) "I repeat—let that sink in, ladies and gentlemen—most young children today spend as much time watching television as they do in the schoolroom." (paragraph 4)
C) "There are some fine children's shows, but they are drowned out in the massive doses of cartoons, violence, and more violence." (paragraph 5)
d) "Search your consciences and see if you cannot offer more to your young beneficiaries whose future you guide so many hours each and every day …" (paragraph 5)
E) "And I would add this: that if some of you persist in a relentless search for the highest rating and the lowest common denominator, you may very well lose your audience." (paragraph 6)
Answer:
a and c
Explanation:
These quotes show detail about the negative things on TV that in turn cause it to become a wasteland instead of having something positive to offer such as an educational program.
