lines 10-21: why is the number of young children" in the present deplorable state of the kingdom a very great additional grievance"?
Please someone help me ?
Answer:
It shows that the state in which poor children live is a social complaint, which exists, even if many do not recognize it.
Explanation:
Swift criticizes Irish society in general, in addition to criticizing the deplorable state of dependence that the country lived. However, he reinforces that in addition to all the social problems that Ireland presents, the condition of poor children is an additional complaint, as these children live in a deplorable way, within a kingdom that is already deplorable. In this case, he claims that the cause of these children is a social agenda, often ignored, but that it is present in society and is visible to everyone.

C. by using his intelligence to gain knowledge
D. by using his strength to overpower people
Answer:
The option that best describes how Nehemiah survived being enslaved is:
A. by using his wit to charm people.
Explanation:
"The People Could Fly" is a collection of folktales by author Virginia Hamilton. From the excerpt, we can tell Nehemiah is quite a witty man. Whenever he is about to be scolded, he uses his intelligence to charm his Master, making him laugh. This way, Nehemiah avoids much of the suffering inherent to his condition as a slave. He gets away with doing little and avoids punishment for that.

How does Crevecoeur contradict his own observations about America's diversity and equality? Select all that apply.
Hello. You did not show the answer options, which makes it impossible for the question to be answered in a specific way. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
The way in which Crevecoeur contradicts his own views on diversity and inequality in America is through the change of tone between the first and the last letters. That's because he starts the letters with great pride in being an American and being able to live with fellow citizens worthy of so much admiration. For him, America is a spectacle and deserves to be celebrated. However, that tone changes in the last letters, becoming highly pessimistic. Crevecoeur, begins to report American society as inhuman and intolerant, which enslaves those who are different with great cruelty and injustice.
Answer:
The correct answers are, "He fails to mention Native Americans, slaves, or indentured servants." and "He presents his prejudices against Scots-Irish settlers and frontiersmen."

Absolute true diary of a part time Indian
Respond with at least five sentences each.
1. Penelope has an eating disorder? What do you think is the cause of her bulimia? Does Alexie (the author) represent it fairly?
2. Gordy does some research and concludes that “people care more about beautiful white girls than they do about everybody else on the planet.” Is this true?
3. Junior says that he and Penelope are using each other. What does he mean by this? Do you think it’s true?
4. “Life is a constant struggle between being an individual and being a member of the community.” Explain how the text expresses that theme. Use examples from the text.
5. How are white fathers different from fathers on the reservation? Why are they different?
6. How do you feel about the abuse Arnold received when he played in the basketball game on the reservation and his reaction to that abuse? How you feel about the way the adults responded?
7. Junior’s grandmother’s last words were to ask that everyone forgive the drunk driver who killed her. Do you think this is a beautiful act of compassion that should be repeated, or is it a weak response to an irresponsible killer who took an innocent life?
1. The cause of Penelope's bulimia is most likely caused by overly-enjoying food. It could also be from being bored. The author is (your opinion). Penelope should be supervised by her parents or have them make her food. Penelope may be able to overcome this.
2. This question I would have to read the story to know.
3. Junior probably means that they tell each other to do things they don't want to do. Another possible theory is that they rely on each other. Without each other they feel they may not be able to (example).
4. This question I would have to read the story to know.
5. This question I would have to read the story to know.
6. This question I would have to read the story to know.
7. I think this was an act of compassion because she might've known the driver or was doing it to save himself and she understood him. He also could've done it as some act of compassion as well. He might've been trying to save her from someone else, and lied that he was drunken. There are many possible reasons to let him off. Maybe we just see the worst side of people.
Thank you that took forever but hopefully worth it. Sorry that I couldn't respond to some. Maybe if you put a link to the story I could've done it. Good luck!
ILL GIVE BRAINLY PLEASE Answer questions 1-7 on p. 223 of The Language of Composition. (2nd edition: Answer questions 1-6 on pp. 217-18.)
Answer:
For Second Edition
Explanation:
1. It is metaphorical
2. The main stereotype of American Indians is that they are dimwitted. Alexie’s father loves to read, and the text says he was one of the few Indians who went to Catholic school willingly to learn.
3. By saying that everything has a fence, he is trying to tell the readers that there is a wall we all put up around ourselves. These boundaries restrict us from being the best that we can be.
4. His childhood was painful to him, because as a student growing up he was always different for going up against the stereotype. By referring to himself in the third-person, he can almost pretend it didn’t happen to him.
5. He is getting his point across by not saying, but implying what he means.
6. It is divided between the first, bigger half about the obstacles he faced fighting back against the Indian stereotype as a child, and the second half is about the struggle he now has with trying to help other young Indians growing up do the same.

Which tone is created through the use of the phrase i'm living in the tombs in line 40 of 'My childhood home i see again?
My childhood home I see again,
And sadden with the view;
And still, as memory crowds my brain,
There's pleasure in it too.
O Memory! thou midway world
'Twixt earth and paradise,
Where things decayed and loved ones lost
In dreamy shadows rise,
And, freed from all that's earthly vile,
Seem hallowed, pure, and bright,
Like scenes in some enchanted isle
All bathed in liquid light.
As dusky mountains please the eye
When twilight chases day;
As bugle-notes that, passing by,
In distance die away;
As leaving some grand waterfall,
We, lingering, list its roar—
So memory will hallow all
We've known, but know no more.
Near twenty years have passed away
Since here I bid farewell
To woods and fields, and scenes of play,
And playmates loved so well.
Where many were, but few remain
Of old familiar things;
But seeing them, to mind again
The lost and absent brings.
The friends I left that parting day,
How changed, as time has sped!
Young childhood grown, strong manhood gray,
And half of all are dead.
I hear the loved survivors tell
How nought from death could save,
Till every sound appears a knell,
And every spot a grave.
I range the fields with pensive tread,
And pace the hollow rooms,
And feel (companion of the dead)
I'm living in the tombs.

In the interview, Debbie Rigaud’s says that one reason she wrote “Voilà!” was to acknowledge the “quietly suffering people” she saw as a child. Who is treated unfairly in “Voilà!” and in what way? Use text evidence to support your answer
Answer:
Aside from Simone, Ma Tante as well as the other elderly people in the doctor's office and elderly people in general are treated unfairly in the story.
Explanation:
Debbie Rigaud's short story "Voilà!" revolves primarily around Simone and her great-aunt's relationship. But the story also delves into the issue of how the elderly are treated differently by the younger generations as well as how poorer people are treated. The author wants to portray that discrimination and bring it to the attention of the readers.
In the story, the great aunt "Ma Tante" is unfairly treated, as are the other elderly people in the run-down "ghetto doctor's office". Another elderly that's treated unfairly is "Mr. Charles Pemberton" who Waverly insists on taking him on a wheelchair even though he can walk properly.
Aside from the elderly, the protagonist of the story Simone Thibodeaux also feels embarrassed for her background, for being different from her classmates. She admits "My embarrassment at being seen in the ghetto doctor’s office outweighs my guilt." Moreover, she is a Haitian, thereby resulting in different treatment from others, including the twin-nurse sisters and Waverly, who also made the suggestion that Simone helps the "CARE-A-VAN" volunteers by translating for them.
