peom about rise and fall​

Answers

Answer:

HOPE YOU LIKE THIS

Explanation:

Tripping, trembling but not falling,

Faltering all the way but not stopping

Wishing it would end someday

I get along with my life's rise and fall.

Fighting back my thoughts,

Letting them not consume me up

Hoping one day I will be strong

I get along with my life's rise and fall.

Stumbling for words but I am not silent,

Not letting my words fade off,

Believing that my words never leave me

I get along with my life's rise and fall.

Believing I can get along,

I remember the wise words,

I let the sadness affect me to emerge strong,

That's how I toss up amidst the life's rise and fall.

adapted from The Underdogs
by Mariano Azuela

Some men on horseback rode up, shouting and sweating; two of them dismounted, while the other hung back to watch the horses.
"We want food! Give us eggs, milk, beans, anything you've got! We're starving!"
The speaker wore chevrons on his arm, his companion red stripes on his shoulders.
"Whose place is this, old woman? Of course it's not empty. How about the light and that child there? Look here, confound it, we want to eat, and quick too. We’re coming in."
"Tell me what they call this ranch, woman?" the sergeant asked.
"Limon," the woman replied curtly, carrying wood to the fire and fanning the coals.

How does the setting influence characterization in the text?

A.
The setting causes the characters to endure cold temperatures.
B.
The setting causes the characters to have difficulty riding the horses.
C.
The setting causes the characters to have difficulty finding food.
D.
The setting causes the characters to use overly polite manners.

Answers

Answer: C.  The setting causes the characters to have difficulty finding food.

Explanation:

The setting infers that the characters in question are looking for food to eat. First the men who came in on horseback ask for food and say they are starving which means that they have had difficulty finding food.

Then the notice that the ranch may not have food as well when they say that there is no way the place can be empty and lacking of food seeing as there was a child there. This means that the woman herself wants food so the setting is such that the characters seem to all have difficulty in finding food.

What is the experience of slaves born to their master?

Answers

Answer:

The experience of slavery for men, women, and children was equally horrible. The amount of labor on the plantation farms was the same for both genders. The differences between the genders were the jobs appointed to them. Men were usually appointed jobs that included certain skill like carpentry and blacksmith. Women were usually working in the fields or as house servants. Accordening to Hallam, “For black men and women, slavery was an equally devastating experience. Both were torn from homeland and family. Both were forced to perform grueling labor, subjected to mental and physical degradation, and denied their most basic rights. Enslaved men and women were beaten mercilessly, separated from loved ones arbitrarily, and, regardless of sex, treated as property in the eyes of the law." When both genders worked in the fields, men were assigned to do the more physical tasks of plowing the fields and the women had the less physical job of hoeing the crops.

Slaves were allowed to have families, but the owners ultimately had control on what the families did with their lives. Mothers and their young were often separated. Ebenezer Davies observed many horrors, “She had at her breast an infant boy three months old. The slaver did not want the child on any terms. The master sold the mother, and retained the child." Usually, babies that were born on the farms became the property of the masters. Hallam explained,

Neither of my little brothers believe in Santa Claus.
a. Correct
b. believes

Answers

Answer:

b. Believes.

Explanation:

Subject-verb agreement refers to the use of the same number for the subject and the verb used. In other words, the subject-verb agreement means the subject and the verb are the same in number, meaning a singular subject will have a singular verb, a plural subject will have a plural verb, etc.

In the given sentence, the subject is "neither of my little brothers". This means it is a singular subject, referring to none of the brothers. Thus, according to the subject-verb agreement, the verb will be in the singular too.

Therefore, the correct sentence will be

Neither of my little brothers believes in Santa Claus.

All the other male pigs on the farm were porkers. The best known among them was a small fat pig named Squealer, with very round cheeks, twinkling eyes, nimble movements, and a shrill voice. He was a brilliant talker, and when he was arguing some difficult point he had a way of skipping from side to side and whisking his tail which was somehow very persuasive. The others said of Squealer that he could turn black into white.

Explanation:

[W]hen any individual or combination of individuals undertakes to decide for any man when he shall work, where he shall work, at what he shall work, and for what he shall work, he or they practically reduce him to slavery. [Applause.] He is a slave. That I understand Gen. Banks to do—to determine for the so-called freedman, when, and where, and at what, and for how much he shall work, when he shall be punished, and by whom punished. It is absolute slavery. It defeats the beneficent intention of the Government, if it has beneficent intentions, in regards to the freedom of our people.

b). by recounting emotional events to evoke sadness  

c). by explaining the reasoning behind his argument

d). by describing how he plans to effect change in the US

Answer:

C). by explaining the reasoning behind his argument

Explanation:

In the given excerpt, Douglass appeals to the readers' logical sense 'by elaborating the causes or reasons behind his argument.' He argues that a group of people determining the time, place, and duration of the work for an individual is basically a form of slavery and supports it with the reasoning that an individual who is free must decide these things independently on his own. The author further explains his point of view that it is not possible to pronounce someone a free man whose decisions are being taken by someone else as these decisions do not actually let them remain free(referring to the black population) and makes them slaves indirectly. Thus, option C is the correct answer.

Coherent essay (Are men and women given equal right?) write a thesis

Answers

Answer:

No! Men and Women are not given Equal Rights. We can hope it will be in the future. Equality between men and women means that both genders should not be treated differently on the sole basis of their gender. This applies to all fields of life, for example the rights, opportunities and status of the two genders. Therefore, men and women should be treated equally with regard to everything. There are no circumstances where a woman or a man should be treated differently because of their gender.  In some countries both genders have equal rights when others don't. In some countries, Women are Paid lesss because they are Women. 1.3 billion people in the World live in absolute poverty- 70% of them are women

-150 million children worldwide don’t go to school- 90 million of these are girls

-Women ear 77 cents to the dollar a men makes.

   Across the world the disparity between males and females is striking. According to data collected by Worldmeters, the population of Earth consist of 50.4% male and 49.6% female. Although the ratio between these two genders is almost identical, women are systematically mistreated and discriminated against thought the globe. While many of the disparities and inequalities occur in developing nations, there are developed western societies where women are still unable to attain the same level of education, secondary opportunities and even pay as their male counterparts. Freedom and equality are ideas this country has had for centuries that have evolved over time.  In 1776, what Thomas Jefferson meant by “all men are created equal”, is that white males are dominant in society.  Women are treated worse than men and slaves treated worse than women.  People that weren’t of the “superior” race/gender of a white male were typically treated as if they were less.  Women and African-Americans aren’t being treated as bad today, but they’re still being treated worse than the white males of society.  Even today, when white males are typically the leaders of society, it’s not always race and gender that creates inequality; sometimes it’s money that creates the issue.
