Which is an example of how a character's decision-making process might
create tension?
A. The decision is one that the character has made many times.
B. The decision has consequences that are unimportant to the
character.
C. The decision is difficult for the character because it involves risks.
O D. The decision the character makes is not surprising to the reader.
Answer:
C. The decision is difficult for the character because it involves risk
Explanation:
When we're reading a story and don't know what will happen next, we begin to feel tense. We want to find out what awaits the characters and continue reading.
An example of how a character's decision-making process might create tension is shown in option C. If a character is making an important, necessary, decision that may result in something bad happening, the story becomes filled with tension. This tension is resolved once it becomes apparent that there are no severe consequences or once these consequences take place.
The rest of the options are incorrect as they contain scenarios that wouldn't create tension.

American born Chinese-
Think about the herbalist's wife's words: "It's easy to become anything
you wish ... so long as you're willing to forfeit your soul." This statement may be a
possible THEME of the overall book. Describe how you have seen examples of
this theme in the story so far. (BE SPECIFIC AND TELL ME WHICH PART OF THE
STORY DEMONSTRATES THIS!)
Answer:
In the book “American Born Chinses” by Gene Luen Yang the herbalist wife says “It’s easy to become anything you wish, so long as you’re willing to forfeit your soul.” She said this to really make Jin think about who he is. First, she means that if you want something you have to put everything into it. If you really love something and you want it then you aren’t just going to have it handed to you, you have to work for it. Also I Don’t think it’s wrong to get something you want if you’re working hard for it. Second, by working hard for what you want it can change the way you see things. You might give up your soul for fame, money, or love. Or maybe you would give it up for something you love doing. Also in the book we see over and over that Jin wants to forfeit his soul to be cool. All Jin wants is to be an all American White boy, and it seems like he would do anything to have it. That’s something he would forfeit is soul for. I wouldn’t forfeit my soul for anything because if love who I am too much and already have everything I could need. I think that Jin needed to see that he shouldn’t just give up who he is so easily. He needed to see that being popular isn’t all that matters. Third, we as readers see how much Jin changes throughout the book. We also se how much wanting something and giving up who you are for it can effect a person. Latter in the book Jin sees who he really is and that he shouldn’t forfeit his soul for something that doesn’t really matter.

Read the excerpt from The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.
Our confidence in each other was unshaken. We were resolved to succeed or fail together, after the calamity had befallen us as much as before. We were now prepared for any thing. We were to be dragged that morning fifteen miles behind horses, and then to be placed in the Easton jail. When we reached St. Michael's, we underwent a sort of examination. We all denied that we ever intended to run away. We did this more to bring out the evidence against us, than from any hope of getting clear of being sold; for, as I have said, we were ready for that. The fact was, we cared but little where we went, so we went together. Our greatest concern was about separation. We dreaded that more than any thing this side of death.
Based on the excerpt, which best describes Douglass’s point of view?
Douglass’s fear of danger kept him from achieving goals.
Douglass’s greatest concern was his personal safety.
Douglass’s confidence in his relationships was weak.
Douglass’s relationships were of the highest importance to him.
Answer:
Douglass's relations were of highest importance to him
Explanation:

nain
Answer:
paragraph 1
Explanation:
Hope this helps
And Scrooge's name was good upon 'Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to" is the quote from the text best supports the answer to Part A. Hence, option A is correct.
What Is Scrooge?The surname Scrooge first appears in the USA in 1920. In 1920, there was only one Scrooge family in Pennsylvania. This accounted for all Scrooges who had ever been formally documented in the USA, or 100% of them.
In A Christmas Carol and all of its incarnations, Belle was Ebenezer Scrooge's love interest. From the time she got engaged until his finances were better, he put off the wedding. When Belle eventually realized he was more concerned with his bank account than she was, she decided to call off their engagement.
Scrooge was most likely based on the Old English verb scruze, which means "to squeeze or compress," and the ancient word scrouging, which has a range of "squeezing, crushing, crowding" meanings.
Thus, option A is correct.

How does the setting of this speech relate back to events in Act I? What is the significance of this connection? What feeling is revealed by Hamlet's comment that "Now could I drink hot blood"? What other words convey this state of mind? How do his words here violate the spirit of the final demand the Ghost made of him?
Answer and Explanation:
1. Hamlet's speech shows how he is ready for his revenge and this connects to ACT 1 in the play because it is in this act that Hamlet finds out who killed his father and must die in revenge.
2. a feeling of anger and courage is revealed so great and intoxicating that it makes Hamlet have the courage to do absurd and totally non-Christian things, such as drinking blood.
3. Other words that convey this state of spirit are: Fury, resentment, bravery, anger, fury and embarrassment.
4. The ghost demands that Hamlet take revenge on his killer, but does not ask Hamlet to act with mercy, which Hamlet shows he wants to do in his speech.
1. What is the topic the author is exploring in Danger! This Mission to Mars Could Bore You to Death!? 2. What is the author's purpose in exploring this topic? 3. How are the sections of the selection related to one another? 4. Give an example of a fact used to support a major idea in the selection.
Answer and Explanation:
1. The author is exploring the ability of boredom to cause strange and undesirable behavior, especially in scientists who are isolated, whether in space or in very unpleasant environments.
2. The author's purpose is to show little-known information about continuous boredom and without the slightest possibility of bailing out anytime soon. It shows how dangerous this feeling is and can create serious problems.
3. The sections offer a complement to each other, making one complete not only the information given in the previous section, but also provide other information on the same topic, thus creating a strong relationship between them.
4. A fact used to support the topic presented in the text is the existence of a windowless geodesic dome, near the Mauna Loa volcano, in Hawaii where people are tested on how humans would live in situations similar to those they would face on Mars, with deprivations and experiencing their own boredom.

Can Forgiveness Play A Role In Criminal Justice?
1. Part A. Which statement identifies the central idea of the text? A-Restorative justice is less effective when it is used to address serious crimes because some crimes are unforgivable. B- When offenders are forgiven by victims through restorative justice, the victims can heal and the offenders can understand their actions and better themselves. C- Young people should have more opportunities for restorative justice, as they are less in control of their emotions and more likely to act impulsively or violently. D- While restorative justice can help the victims, it's important to use punishment and rehabilitation to ensure that offenders don't commit another crime.
2. Part B. Which TWO details from the text best supports the answer to Part A. A- Ann’s face was covered in bandages, and she was intubated and unconscious, but Andy felt her say, “forgive him.” His response was immediate. “No,” he said out loud. B- Visitors to Leon County Jail sit in a row of chairs before a reinforced-glass partition, facing the inmates on the other side — like the familiar setup seen in movies. Kate took the seat opposite Conor, and he immediately told her how sorry he was. C- The processes are designed to be flexible enough to handle violent crime like assault, but they are rarely used in those situations. And no one I spoke to had ever heard of restorative justice applied for anything as serious as murder. D- Conor says that he would frequently fall into this “wrathful anger,” and on this day “there was so much anger, and I kept snapping.” Ann started sobbing, saying that Conor didn’t care and that she wanted to die. E- Because we could forgive, people can say her name. People can think about my daughter, and they don’t have to think, Oh, the murdered girl. I think that when people can’t forgive, they’re stuck. F- Still, their forgiveness affected Conor, too, and not only in the obvious way of reducing his sentence. “With the Grosmaires’ forgiveness,” he told me, “I could accept the responsibility and not be condemned.”
Answer:
1. D- While restorative justice can help the victims, it's important to use punishment and rehabilitation to ensure that offenders don't commit another crime.
2. F- Still, their forgiveness affected Conor, too, and not only in the obvious way of reducing his sentence. “With the Grosmaires’ forgiveness,” he told me, “I could accept the responsibility and not be condemned.”
Explanation:
The article shows how restorative justice can be beneficial in many cases. Restorative justice is one in which the victim and the accused of a crime enter into an agreement, where the victim forgives the criminal's actions. According to the article, this forgiveness promotes a well-being for the victim who can be more relieved in a time of so much stress. For the criminal, however, forgiveness can release him from conviction, or reduce his sentence, in more serious crimes. This is because some crimes, even through punitive justice, must impose a type of punishment so that the criminal can pay for his actions and be rehabilitated in society.

I need a speech for student council, im running for president. Help?
Answer:
I have ran and failed before. I learned my mistakes the next year and became VP. You really need to show what you can do to change what is bad. Students want to elect someone they like and know is competent. Be a leader in the classroom. Participate in class discussions and get good grades, it’s how you’ll prove your competence. Don’t be the class clown or the student who’s always on their cell phone or asleep. Make posters. The posters can be super simple; even just a print out of the slogan on normal computer paper will work. However, you should have a lot of them. The exact number will vary proportionally to the number of students in your class (or school, if you’re running for the overall Student Government President). What I mean by that is if your class has 100 students, 10 posters may be enough, but if you have 1000 students in your class, you may want to put up 50 or more posters. Count on some posters being ripped down or disappearing. Most schools have rules against this, but it’s hard to catch someone ripping down a poster. Plan on making extras. Some of these tips helped me in becoming VP so I hope this will help you.

It can be small or big. Size doesn't matter in this competition. Just because someone is a higher grade doesn't mean they should be elected. Brains are the ones that matter.

3. If you are to assess whatever decisions you made in the past 2 months,
where do you categorize them and why?
Answer:
I decided to take a few days from work and I went to the countryside. This is a non-programmed decision because it is something I do not usually do.
I started the gym. This is a strategic decision because there's a long term purpuse.
I bought an espresso machine. This is a personal decision because it is just for my own benefit and pleasure.
Explanation:
To complete this exercise, you have to write about decisions you made and categorize them. When you research about decision making, all the categories are related to organization's decision making. However, those categorizations can also be used when talking about personal life's decisions as I did in the answer.
The above question requires a personal answer and for that reason, I cannot write an answer for you, but I will show you how to write it.
To answer this question, you need to reflect on the decisions you made, the criteria used to reach that decision, and the outcomes that were triggered.
During this reflection, you should be able to identify whether decisions were made wisely, emotionally, rationally, or impulsively.
Based on this, describe the characteristics of your decisions, labeling them according to those characteristics.
