3. What is the key point Gladwell makes in the paragraph beginning, “Some of this
grandiosity is to be expected” (para. 9)? How does he connect his statement
“Innovators tend to be solipsists” with the assertion that ends the paragraph, that
"we seem to have forgotten what activism is."

Answers

Answer 1

The key point he makes is that the mainstream media is more concerned with getting attention than reporting the seriousness of issues. He starts this with the fact that these American media present all kinds of news from an American perspective, forgetting that there are other perspectives that must be portrayed if activism is to actually be promoted by the media.

We can arrive at this answer because:

The author uses the word "solipsists" to refer to the mainstream American news media.This word refers to people who only see their own perspectives, as if the whole world revolves around them, not caring about how each situation affects other people.The author associates this word with the American media to highlight its role in making news about international problems circulate in all of America.

The author reinforces the idea that this does not help in solving world problems, does not promote effective activism, but reinforces attention to the American media and places America as the protagonist of an issue that does not belong to it.

What were Nick's thoughts
on the American dream? What were Gatsby's thoughts on the American dream, based on Nick's
perspective? What do Tom and Daisy represent within the idea of the American dream? Based on your
opinion, which character's ideal beliefs of the American dream do you lean towards and why?

Answers

Answer:

Nick felt his American Dream was useless, because he couldn't stand living with a lot of phonies who didn't care about the others and even their lives. In the book, he said, "I couldn't forgive him or like him, but I saw that what he had done was, to him, entirely justified. It was all very careless and confused. money is one of the majors themes in the book. He represents new money while Daisy and Tom represent old money. The distinguishing between east and west egg is the best way that Fitzgerald describes the difference in wealth. The American Dream is the hope that anyone can earn success if they work hard enough. Gatsby's love for Daisy led him to achieve extravagant wealth. In the sense of rising up social rank and obtaining financial success, Gatsby achieved the American Dream.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is The head of the 100-year StarShip project.

Explanation:

The article written by By Nola Taylor Redd, the head of this project is Dr. Mae Jeminson. Let's see the following quote where she explicitly says it:

"As a result, the project, which Jemison heads, seeks to increase public enthusiasm for space as well. The 100-Year Starship program not only includes engineers and astrophysicists, but also artists and science fiction writers."

Given this information, we can say that the correct option is: The head of the 100-year StarShip project.

Well, when Wiley got himself home, safe, he told his mama that the Hairy Man had almost got him that time. Hairy Man would have, too, but that he pretended to pray and called his hounds instead and the hounds run the Hairy Man off.

"Did he have his sack?" his mama asked Wiley.

"Yesum," Wiley said.

"Next time he come after you, don't you climb some tree," said his mama.

This excerpt is showing how Wiley followed his mother's advice and managed to escape The Hairy Man.

Answer:

D.  It is important to listen to others' advice.

Explanation:

Wiley's mama helps him defeat the Hairy Man 3 times and without her help he may never have completed the problem and the Hairy Man would not have disappeared.  Without listening to others the Hairy Man would still be out there.
