Sonia sat down in the guidance counselor's office, ready to explain her

future. She was going to be a writer, she announced. All she had to do

was finish high school, go to college, and then get a job of some kind

something that would give her a source of income. Then, she

continued, on the weekends, except for those weekends when she had

soccer practice (because there was no chance she was giving that up),

and as long as her friends didn't invite her to go out partying, she

would write the great American novel. As Sonia finished triumphantly

and looked up for approval, the guidance counselor frowned.

main character?

what does the text of paragraphs 11 and 12 indicate about the purpose, audience, and message of Shapiro's essay?​

Answers

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. Here are the paragraphs under consideration from (The Lesson of Salem: Taken from Newsweek, August 31, 1992, by Laura Shapiro):

"Today many scholars believe it was clinical hysteria that set off the girls in Tituba's kitchen. Fits, convulsions, vocal outbursts, feelings of being pinched and bitten-all of these symptoms have been witnessed and described, most often in young women, for centuries.

Sometimes the seizures have been attributed to Satan, other times to God, but ever since Freud weighed in, hysteria has been traced to the unconscious. As Dr. Richard Pohl, of Salem Hospital,  told a Tercentenary symposium, hysteria "can mimic all the physical diseases known to man,"  and occurs when repressed thoughts and emotions burst forth and take over the body. Life could be dreary for girls in 17th-century Salem: their place was home and their duty was obedience;  many were illiterate, and there were few outlets for a youthful imagination except in the grim lessons of Puritan theology. Dabbling in magic in the reverend's own kitchen would have been wonderfully scary, perhaps enough to release psychic demons lurking since childhood.

Explanation:

From the text above we could observe that the author tries to give a medical explanation of what happened in Salem so as not to put the blame entirely on the girls.

Remember, in Salem, many women were accused of deliberately practicing witchcraft. However, by quoting a medical professional (Dr. Richard Pohl, of Salem Hospital), commenting about the medical condition "hysteria", who said, "hysteria "can mimic all the physical diseases known to man," In other words, the women were mere victims of emotional and psychological distresses.

What really happened to the Jews during the “resettlement”

Answers

Answer:

They died

Explanation:

Answer:

The resettlement of the Jews in England was an informal arrangement during the Commonwealth of England in the mid-1650s, which allowed Jews to practise their faith openly. It forms a prominent part of the history of the Jews in England. It happened directly after two events. Firstly a prominent rabbi Menasseh ben Israel came to the country from the Netherlands to make the case for Jewish resettlement, and secondly a Spanish New Christian (a supposedly converted Jew, who secretly practised his religion) merchant Antonio Robles requested that he be classified as a Jew rather than Spaniard during the war between England and Spain.

Historians have disagreed about the reasons behind the resettlement, particularly regarding Oliver Cromwell’s motives, but the move is generally seen as a part of a current of religious and intellectual thought moving towards liberty of conscience, encompassing philosemitic millenarianism and Hebraicism, as well as political and trade interests favouring Jewish presence in England. The schools of thought that led to the resettlement of the Jews in England is the most heavily studied subject of Anglo-Jewish history in the period before the Eighteenth Century.[1]

Imagine going with your family on a filed trip in the vacation, and going back from it loosing one member. blaming yourself and feeling hapless for not being their or get to help that member

Answers

Looks good to me bro

Answer: We go into every trip or activity we do knowing that we are doing it is a family.

We really feel this is the most important piece of learning how we can bond as a family as we travel. Craig and I remember the trips we took as a couple before having kids. Yes there are times when we miss that kind of travel, but we have also accepted that at this point in our lives the traveling we are doing is about our family and what is going to work for everyone.

By approaching it this way it helps us set expectations so we aren’t let down when we can’t sit through a nice formal dinner or have to settle for a quick beer instead of sampling a few at the local brewery. The way we look at it is, and anyone who is a parent has heard, they grow up so fast. Before you know it, they are getting married and having their own kids.

Mediavine

With that in mind we have made the decision that the majority of our traveling is going to be purely family focused. We aren’t trying to squeeze in magical couple moments or solo travel. Which we feel just brings too much stress and disappointment since it never works out the way you want it to. Instead we are embracing this point in our lives as parents and are striving to enjoy these family travel moments instead of always wishing for alone time or that we could be doing something different.

To be totally honest, it isn’t always easy. However, the more we do it the easier it gets. When we settle into this mindset and aren’t looking for how to get out of it – it really does become enjoyable and allows us to live more in the moment.

Persuasive Speech
Introduction
A. Imagine going out to eat at a restaurant, and you read entrees like "fried human legs" and "human baby parmesan."
B. I believe the world would be a happier, healthier, more humane place if everyone were vegetarian -- you should become one!
C. Today I am going to enlighten you all about the animal cruelty involved with food processing that goes on behind closed doors, and the healthier lifestyle of being vegetarian.
[First let me tell you a little bit about what else your are eating when you choose to eat meat.]
Body
A. Every year billions of animals are raised and slaughtered for human consumption. In today’s factory farms animals are confined to extremely small spaces so farmers can concentrate on maximizing production.
1. This over crowding breeds disease, so the animals are fed antibiotics and sprayed with pesticides.
2. The animals are also fed growth hormones.
3. So, the chemicals, antibiotics and hormones are passed on to the consumers.
4. USDA fact sheet, bacterial contamination of animal products often causes illness and death. Salmonella poisoning can be fatal.
5. Time Magazine, bad chicken is responsible for at least 1,000 American deaths each year.
[Now, here are some more disturbing facts you should know about meat production.]
B. According to the Animal Protection Institute, in the U.S. alone, every year 41.8million beef cattle, 115 million pigs, and 8.785 billion chickens are slaughtered for human consumption. The animals endure much more.
1. Beef cattle called "downers" are prodded or dragged to the slaughterhouse, or left without food or water to die.
2. Pigs are stunned, hung upside down before their throats are cut and bled to death. If missed, they go to the scalding tank where they may be boiled alive.
3. Crowed, chickens peck each other to death. Instead of providing space farmers "debeak" them by cutting off their upper beak with a hot blade.
4. I would like to show you some photos taken inside a slaughterhouse.
[If animal cruelty is not enough to change your mind, then maybe your own health concerns will make a difference.]
C. Studies show meat-eaters are twice as likely to die from heat disease, and 60% more likely to die from cancer than vegetarians.
1. Meat consumption has been linked to many diseases, osteoporosis, diabetes, kidney disease, hypertension, and obesity.
2. Quoted by William Roberts, MD, editor and chief of The American Journal Of Cardiology, "When we kill animals to eat them, they end up killing us because their flesh, which contains cholesterol and saturated fat, was never intended for human beings, who are natural herbivores."
Conclusion
I hope that I have enlightened you all about the matters of vegetarianism, and I hope you all will make the right moral and health decisions as I have. Quote by Leonardo de Vinci, "I have, from an early age renounced eating meat. The time will come when we will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of humans.

Review the persuasive speech outline.

If this speech was given to an audience full of people who worked for the cattle industry, what would the speaker have to accomplish?
a.
motivate them to become meat eaters
b.
change their beliefs about meat
c.
weaken the audience’s attitude towards vegetables
d.
strengthen the audience’s attitude towards meat

Answers

The answer would be (B) to change their beliefs about meat

A Closer Look at Minimus's Poem
Stanza 2 is clearly trying to make Napoleon out to be a god. Explain how in at least 2-3 complete sentences.
Animal farm

Answers

Answer:

It is true that Minimus's poem tries to make Napoleon out to be a god.

Explanation:

'Animal Farm' is a novel written by George Orwell.The novel is a fable picturizing the Russian Revolution of 1917.

In Chapter 8, when Napoleon took over the office of 'Leadership', Minimus wrote a poem in his honor. In his poem, he portrayed Napoleon out to be god.

His poem, in second stanza, said

'Thou are the giver of

All that thy creatures love,

Full belly twice a day, clean straw to roll upon;

Every beast great or small

Sleeps at peace in his stall,

Thou watchest over all,

Comrade Napoleon!'

By stating that  Napoleon looks over all of his creature and they sleep in peace in his stall, Minimus's poem is picturizing Napoleon to be god. Just like God watches over all His creation, and they sleep in peace in His stall, Minimus picturized Napoleon in the same picture.

Based on "how we entered world war 1" which detail explains why the sinking of the Lusitania led the United States to enter World War 1?

Answers

Based on how we entered world war 1 which detail explains why the sinking of the lusitania led the united states to enter world war 1.

Why the sinking of the Lusitania led the United States to enter World War I ?

It has been seen that it is based on "How we entered World War I," the detail that explains why the sinking of the Lusitania led the United States to enter World War I because there were about one hundred twenty-four passengers who died and a total of one thousand one hundred ninety-five passengers killed.

World war has been defined as the global conflict that involves all or the majority of the major powers. The murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary was the immediate cause of World War I, bringing the aforementioned factors into play.

The fact that so many innocent civilians were killed by the Germans galvanized American support for entering the war, which is the detail that demonstrates the cause of the Lusitania sinking that led to American engagement in World War I.

Thus, the sinking of the Lusitania led the United States because of the 1,195 passengers killed, 124 were from the United States.
