from "Piano Obsession" by Ibtisam Barakat Reem is a Palestinian girl who attends a school for refugees, operated by the United Nations. She befriends a girl named Rania, who introduces her to the piano. Read the passage carefully. Then, answer the essay prompt. 1 Rania led me to an elephant-sized piano that squatted serenely in a corner of the church. Before I touched the piano, the sight of it touched me. It reminded me of the first and only time I had visited a zoo. I twirled with delight. 2 A notebook filled with lines and bead-sized dots had been left open. “These are notes. One can read them like numbers in a math book. They translate to phrases, passages, long songs,” she explained. 3 Songs? Now the beads became birds on the page, long rows on electric wires, singing. Was it possible that these beads could really sing like birds? What must I do to make them do it? 4 “Open the lid,” she said. A large number of black and white teeth smiled at me. I became more excited, happy, afraid, all at once. The lid was more of a lip. And I instantly knew why the piano might sing, why the notes could be more than a row of birds. The piano could be a person who loves numbers. 5 Rania’s father came over to watch us. He noticed the stunned look on my face. “You don’t have to read the beads. Just sit down; play the keys.” I remained reluctant. “There are no rules for playing,” he explained. “You don’t have to make songs. Just make music.” He shut the bead book. 6 “There are no teachers here. This is not a school,” he encouraged. “I am a church guard. I did not finish my schooling because I didn’t like homework or teachers. Just play like a child would.” 7 I raised a finger as though it were a foot about to enter a new world. I dipped my finger onto a white bar. I dipped other fingers. All dropped inside a sweet, liquid sound. The white and black might have been sugar wafers, or chocolate bars for a person’s ears. I licked my fingers. 8 Rania and her father applauded. A thrill of importanc plz right it as an essay but not that long HURRY PLZ

I WILL GIVE ANYONE WHO ANSWERS THE BRAINLIEST ANSWER!! In 1520, the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés wrote to Spanish King Charles V from the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan in
what is now Mexico. Read the following excerpt from his letter. Then answer the questions based on the excerpt.
This great city contains a large number of temples, or houses, for their idols, very handsome [buildings]... the
principal ones religious persons of each particular sect are constantly residing, for whose use, besides the houses
containing the idols, there are other convenient habitations. ... Among these temples there is one which far
surpasses all the rest, whose grandeur of architectural details no human tongue is able to describe; for within its
precincts, surrounded by a lofty wall, there is room enough for a town of five hundred families. ... There are fully
forty towers, which are lofty and well built, the largest of which has fifty steps leading to its main body, and is higher
than the tower of the principal tower of the church at Seville. The stone and wood of which they are constructed are
so well wrought in every part, that nothing could be better done, for the interior of the chapels containing the idols
consists of curious imagery, wrought in stone, with plaster ceilings, and wood-work carved in relief, and painted with
figures of monsters and other objects.
Three halls are in this grand temple, which contain the principal idols; these are of wonderful extent and height, and
admirable workmanship, adorned with figures sculptured in stone and wood; leading from the halls are chapels with
very small doors, to which the light is not admitted, nor are any persons except the priests, and not all of them. In
these chapels are the images of idols, although, as I have before said, many of them are also found on the outside; the
principal ones, in which the people have greatest faith and confidence, I precipitated from their pedestals, and cast
them down the steps of the temple, purifying the chapels in which they had stood, as they were all polluted with
human blood, shed ill the sacrifices. In the place of these I put images of Our Lady and the Saints, which excited not a
little feeling in Moctezuma and the inhabitants, who at first (protested], declaring that if my proceedings were known
throughout the country, the people would rise against me; for they believed that their idols bestowed on them all
temporal good, and if they permitted them to be ill-treated, they would be angry and without their gifts, and by this
means the people would be deprived of the fruits of the earth and perish with famine. I answered, through the
interpreters, that they were deceived in expecting any favors from idols, the work of their own hands, formed of
unclean things, and that they must learn there was but one God, the universal Lord of all, who had created the
heavens and earth, and all things else, and had made them and us... and they were bound to adore and believe Him,
and no other creature or thing.
I said everything to them I could to divert them from their idolatries, and draw them to a knowledge of God our Lord..
.. Afterwards, Moctezuma and many of the principal citizens remained with me until I had removed the idols, purified
the chapels, and placed the images in them, manifesting apparent pleasure; and I forbade them sacrificing human
beings to their idols as they had been accustomed to do; because, besides being abhorrent in the sight of God, your
sacred Majesty had prohibited it by law, and commanded to put to death whoever should take the life of another.
Thus, from that time, they refrained from the practice, and during the whole period of my abode in that city, they
were never seen to kill or sacrifice a human being.
