For far too long the achievements and history of minority groups in the United States have been overlooked in textbooks, the media, and society as a whole. Cultural heritage months seek to help remediate that oversight and give communities of color more recognition. The history of these cultural observances sheds light on the achievements minority groups have made in a country where they often face discrimination.
The creation of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month owes its thanks to several lawmakers. New York Congressman Frank Horton and California Congressman Norman Mineta sponsored a bill in the U.S. House mandating that part of May be recognized as “Asian Pacific Heritage Week.” In the Senate, lawmakers Daniel Inouye and Spark Matsunaga entered a similar bill in July 1977. When the bills passed the Senate and the House, President Jimmy Carter declared the beginning of May “Asian Pacific Heritage Week.” Twelve years later, President George H.W. Bush turned the weeklong observance into a month-long event. Lawmakers chose the month of May because it marks milestones in Asian American history. For example, the first Japanese American immigrants entered the U.S. on May 7, 1843. Twenty-six years after that, on May 10, Chinese workers completed building America’s transcontinental railroad.

are good cooks.
[words in brackets need to be put in "reflexive pronoun" or "intensive pronoun"
Answer:
Reflexive pronouns in the passage: ourselves, themselves.
Intensive pronouns in the passage: myself, itself.
Explanation:
Both reflexive and intensive pronouns end in -self or -selves. The difference lies in the way they are used, according to the context. Reflexive pronouns indicate that the same person or thing is both the subject and the object of the verb. A common example is:
- I cut myself. --> I am the one who performed the action of cutting. I am also the one who was cut.
Intensive pronouns, on the other hand, emphasize the importance of something or someone. They are usually not essential to convey meaning in the sentence. For example:
- The president himself addressed the issue. --> Emphasis on the fact that is was the president, rather than any other person.
An easy way to distinguish between the two types of pronouns is by their position in the sentence. Intensive pronouns come right after the noun they refer to. Reflexive pronouns come after the verb or a preposition. Having that in mind, we can answer:
Reflexive pronouns in the passage: ourselves, themselves.
Intensive pronouns in the passage: myself, itself.
Answer:
Reflexive:
ourselves
themselves
Intensive:
myself
itself

Does anyone know what the imagery is in the The Lake Isle of Innisfree ?
Answer:Like the diction, the usage of imagery helps to provide the image of a peaceful and dream-like place. Some examples of this include, “There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow” (line 7), “ a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made” (line 2), and “evening full of the linnet's wings” (line 8).

Why do you think he included
these lyrics?
In the song 'Rewrite the stars' in The Greatest Showman, explain how Phillip and Anne may have felt, and quote the lyrics that may show their feelings.
Take 40 points for it :)
Answer:
In the song 'Rewrite the Stars' there were many different emotions between Phillip and Anne. In the second verse Phillip says "I know you want me. So don't keep saying your hands are tied", this shows that Phillip knows that Anne wants to be with him just that she keeps coming up with excuses to show that she can't. On Anne's side she says "You think I don't want to run to you. But there are mountains, and there are doors that we can't walk through." This shows that she agrees with the fact that she wants him but she just can't be with him for various reasons. These mixed emotions are shown more where it says "All I want is to fly with you. All I want is to fall with you. So just give me all of you. It feels impossible." This shows that they want to be together but they just feel that its not possible for them to stay together.

enormous height and girth alone would have
made him famous, but Naba-cha was also

South. Yet, he had never plundered lands in
the West, for in that land lived an even bigger

Answer:
"Acquiesced" was used to inform that Nada-cha had to accept something that he no longer wanted that was necessary.
Explanation:
Naba-cha never invaded the West because he knew and accepted, even reluctantly, that there was a man more powerful than himself and that he would not allow him to conquer the territory. Although he did not like this, he did not protest against the existence of this man and preferred to conquer territories where he would not be a problem. In this sense, the word "Acquiesced" was used, thus promoting the meaning of submission to something, without emitting resistance.

write a letter to your aunt telling her why you left your old school and why you like your new school
Dear aunt.
I believe that my decision to change schools has generated many doubts among family members and for that reason, I decided to write this letter to justify what caused my change.
Recently, in order to prepare for college, I got an internship with a very important and recognized professional in our country. This professional works exactly in the area that I intend to work in the future and I believe that this will bring me many benefits. Unfortunately, the location of my internship was too far from my old school and I was having trouble getting to the internship at the correct time, so I decided to leave my old school and enroll in a new school, closer to my internship .
I believe that you agree that I had a good decision.
With love.

The Raspberry Room
HELP PLSSS!!!
Answer:
The bed is lifting out of/ its nightmares./ From dark corners, chairs/ are rising up to crash through clouds.
Explanation:
The lines shown above show examples of personification used in the poem. The personification is a figure of speech that allows inanimate objects to have human characteristics and capabilities. In these lines, we can perceive personification because of the movements that objects make and the ability to have nightmares, which are things that only humans can do.
Answer:
"Daring anyone to come in"
Explanation:
In line 5, the poet uses the phrase “daring anyone to come in” to suggest that the raspberries (which are inanimate) are acting as though they have a mind of their own. The overall effect is to suggest a kind of personality for the raspberries (they don’t want to let anyone in). This is an example of personification.
