Read the excerpt from "Hokusai's The Great Wave" by Neil MacGregor. In the early nineteenth century Japan had been effectively closed off from the world for 200 years. It had simply opted out of the community of nations. Kings are burning somewhere, Wheels are turning somewhere, Trains are being run, Wars are being won, Things are being done Somewhere out there, not here. Here we paint screens. Yes . . . the arrangement of the screens. This is Stephen Sondheim’s musical tableau of the secluded and calmly self-contained country in 1853, just before American gunships forced its harbours to open to the world. It is a witty caricature of the dreamy and aesthetic Japanese, serenely painting screens while across the seas Europe and America industrialize and political turmoil rages. What is the purpose of the outside source used in this excerpt?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

- to illustrate Japan's isolation in the 1800s.

Explanation:

In the given excerpt, the author employs an outside source with an aim to demonstrate the segregation that Japan undergoes in the 19th century. The descriptions like 'closed off from the world,' 'opted out of the community of nations' gives a hint to the readers about Japan's isolation from the world while Stephen's tableau displaying 'self-sufficient and deserted nation' further substantiates the country's hidden and quiet existence. Thus, the outer source gives a clear view of Japan's remote situation during the early and mid-nineteenth century.

Why do you think it was important for Kielburger to make the documentary.

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although you forgot to include the name of the documentary or a link to it, we did some research to find what you are talking about.

You are referring to the documentary titled "It Takes a Child: Craig Kielburger's Story. A Journey into Child Labor," produced by Craig Kielburger.

After watching the documentary, I think it was important for Kielburger to make the documentary because it was a professional way to document this sad situation in south Asia countries and expose the problem to the world to create awareness of this terrible issue of exploiting children through labor in that region.

The result and acceptance of his documentary helped him to found the non-governmental organization called "Free the Children" that has thousands of members in 20 countries.

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The  paragraph that fits the topic sentence would have to describe why families should own a pet as their responsibility. The last paragraph, D, explains this best. It claims that if every family adopted a pet, homeless animals and shelter animals will have someone to take care of them. It calls this a responsibility of the people, like the idea introduced in the topic sentence. So, the answer is D.

In order to save money, city officials are considering cutting funds for community sports leagues. This means students would be able to participate only in sports offered by local schools. Write a letter to the city council stating and backing up your point of view on the proposed funding cuts. A. One issue with community sports is lack of volunteer coaches, but with school-focused sports, teachers, who already receive paychecks, can become coaches. B. The city has not been able to fund the much-needed repairs for our public roads and parks, so everyone can agree that we should get rid of community sports and focus on what's important. C. Most schools already have sports programs that give students the opportunity to play the sport of their choice. D. Canceling community sports leagues is the best option for our town because it will save much-needed money while strengthening school athletic programs.

What is the author's tone in this line from William Dean Howells's "Editha"?

Then Editha's father said in his public-will-now-address-a-few remarks tone, "My name is Balcom, ma’am; Junius Balcom, of Balcom's Works, NewYork. . . ."

Answers

Answer:

Sarcastic

Explanation:

The author's tone in this line from William Dean Howells's "Editha" is sarcastic.

This is because, the author talks about what Edith's father said in his public address where he identified himself as Balcom, of Balcom's Works in New York. This is purely sarcastic because his name and company name are not Balcom.

how do filipino youths show resiliency in facing their challenges in life​

Answers

Before I answer that, here's a story of my dad.

When he was a kid, he lived a carefree life that he would take the chance to play outside while his father kept telling him to study, study, and study. Being the son of a soldier that participated in WW II, my dad enjoyed the privilege he had because Filipino soldiers were respected at that time. However, despite the joy he had, there was a time when my dad's father was jumped by a group of people that resulted in my dad seeing my grandfather holding the guts that was about to fall out of his body when he came home. Not something that a child should see right? But, this resulted in my dad coming to reality, that the things he faced was not all sunshine and rainbows.

What's more was that, my dad's older brother, who was once addicted to drugs but stopped, was killed by the people whom he thought were his friends. This gave my dad a different take in life. No, he didn't decide to joke or mess around because of the things he had seen at that time. He matured early, early enough that when he faced kinds of failures in his life he persevered and endured. He kept his faith close with him because, in the present moment that we are in now, him and his family had been given the chance to live in a different country that is not Philippines.

What's unique with us Filipinos is the fact that we persevere, and the faith we have in being Christians. (From what I have seen from my dad).

So, why are Filipinos resilient? Because they smile? Yes, they do when times are tough. But what's important is that we take life seriously and that we value of what's important to us in our life. Though we may at times have fun, we never forget the hardship that one has to go through in life. Which is why people see Filipinos as hard-working people like my dad who's boss always see him in a good light.

Sales are currently 10,000 units per year at the yuan equivalent of $24,000 each. The Chinese yuan (renminbi) has been trading at Yuan8.20/$, but a Hong Kong advisory service predicts the renminbi will drop in value next week to Yuan9.00/$, after which it will remain at that rate for the foreseeable future. Based onthis forecast, Murray Exports faces a pricing decision in the face of the impending devaluation. It may either (1) maintain the same yuan price and in effect sell for fewer dollars, in which case Chinese volume will not change; or (2) maintain the same dollar price, raise the yuan price in China to offset the devaluation, and experience a 10% drop in unit volume.
