Hello. This question is about "Modest Proposal"
Answer:
hunger, clothing, money/economy, overpopulation.
Explanation:
The modest Proposal was a text written by Jonathan Swift as a proposal to end the growing number of poor children on the streets begging or getting involved in activities they shouldn't have.
Swift claimed that the rich and politicians were very uncomfortable with this scenario, but did nothing to control poverty and help these children. So he proposed that a way to end this problem and thus decrease hunger, clothing, money / economy and overpopulation, would be for the poor to sell their children to the rich so that they could serve as food for the rich and their skins to make clothes.
Swift wrote this essay in a satirical way to show how the hypocrisy of the rich stimulated social problems and their hypocrisy would have to solve those problems.

Which is more important: freedom or security? Do you believe there is a way to have both freedom and
security when it comes to speech? Cite evidence from this text, your own experience, and other literature, art, or history in your answer.
Answers
Answer:
National security is an essential factor of any functioning society, but freedom is just as important.After 9/11, security in America was taken to a new level with increased airport safety procedures, a stronger border control, and new security acts being passed.The government did need to take action, such as enforcing stricter airport regulations to better monitor who enters the country. However, they did not need to infringe on American freedoms that were fought so hard for during the Revolutionary War.The USA Patriot Act of 2001 increased the ability of law enforcement officials to search personal information such as telephone calls, e-mails and personal records. It also eased restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering within the United States.While some aspects of the act are necessary, others are not.The Fourth Amendment ensures "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures." Listening in on phone calls and going through people's personal e-mails is unreasonable because it will not make America a safer place to live and it infringes on the freedoms the Fourth Amendment guarantees.U.S. intelligence analysts were ordered to continue monitoring phone calls, even when it was clear they posed no threat to America's safety."We identified phone numbers belonging to non-threatening groups, including the Red Cross," said Adrienne Kinne, a former Arab linguist who worked at a National Security Agency facility at Fort Gordon from 2001 to 2003. "We could have blocked their numbers, but we didn't, and we were told to listen to them just in case."American freedoms were being sacrificed to provide security, even when there was no real danger. The people whose phone calls were being monitored posed no threat to America. This was an invasion of their rights as American citizens.Freedom and security need to be balanced, but freedom should not be jeopardized in order to obtain security.In the beginning, America invested in freedom, not the security of what its citizens already knew. And while both are vital to the success of a nation, freedom is the more fundamental, more enduring, and, therefore, more important.Some may argue that, given the current threats to America, the security of the country and its people should take priority over freedoms, no matter the cost.While there are threats to be concerned about, taking away the liberty of the citizens for the sake of security is just giving in to what the terrorists ultimately want: the suppression of America and its people.These acts were supposed to secure the country and offer more protection in the tumultuous atmosphere of World War I. In reality, they not only failed but they tightened the grip that fear held on the nation. Beyond this, the acts dramatically infringed on First Amendment rights, the freedoms that are deeply ingrained in America.And while the freedom versus security debate is centuries old and circumstances have changed countless times, the dilemma is still the same. In a nation where freedom has had such a high value even before the country's birth, it is nearly impossible to place security before liberty.I consider security to be more important than freedom. For a small group of students in my school, the thoughts concerning this topic are so drastically different that it is our policy to refuse to discuss it with others when we know it will start an argument.Freedom and security do not necessarily refer to matters of national importance. They can be used in many situations. For example, when looking for a job, some people consider how secure they will be having a routine 9 to 5 job with little change in schedule. This ensures that their daily needs will be taken care of and they don't need to worry about those.Another extremely important thing having to do with security is a person's romantic relationships. Is it better to date exclusively and to have a steady boyfriend or girlfriend, or to be free to come and go as you please without having a steady relationship in your life? Personally, I'd like to think that because something like marriage exists, security is considered significantly more important to most individuals.
Some people may think that life is pointless if you aren't free to enjoy it. But I disagree. What's the point of being free if you have to live with the constant uncertainty and worry that's caused by a lack of security?

Answers
Answer:
Part A: C. to benefit from
Part B: B. “crowing about all the books we will sell because of the news”
Explanation
This question refers to a letter Kurt Vonnegut, the author of "Slaughterhouse-Five", wrote to Charles McCarthy, the head of the school board, after McCarthy decided to burn all the copies of his book from school library.
Besides explaining why such an action is wrong, and the potential consequences it might have on freedom of speech, Vonnegut states that he has done "absolutely nothing to exploit the disgusting news".
That means that he hasn't done any actions to make a profit from the publicity this news might have. He states that he hasn't informed any of the media.
Also he says that he and his publisher are not "clapping each other on the back, crowing about all the books we will sell because of the news".
All of that suggests that he is writing this letter out of concern for impact it might have on the American culture and freedom of speech, rather then using it as a chance to make a profit out of the situation.

Hated by his kind and by mankind, indomitable, perpetually warred upon and himself waging perpetual war, his development was rapid and one-sided. This was no soil for kindliness and affection to blossom in. Of such things he had not the faintest glimmering. The code he learned was to obey the strong and to oppress the weak.

On pg. 4, Cisneros includes a remark about Esperanza's house made by one of the nuns. She echoes that comment on pg. 45 when Sister Superior has Esperanza point out her house, and Sister says, "that one?" Why does Sister point to the wrong house, and why does Esperanza nod, "yes"? Why does Cisneros echo her original comment?
Answers
Answer:
I think Esperanza did this because she was too embarrassed and already too overwhelmed by emotions to show which is her house, “And since I am shy, I don’t say anything, just hold out my hand with the letter.” (Cisneros 44) Unfortunately, since Esperanza admitted that the house next to the canteen is hers, this came with the consequence of Sister Superior not believing in the comment in the note since this means she doesn't need to walk far to get home.
Explanation:
Answer:
She conveys that her identity is largely shaped by the shame of poverty. As the novel progresses, Esperanza's desire for a real home shape her individualism and determination.
Explanation:
Esperanza's shame is self-imposed. People do not try to make Esperanza feel bad. Even with the nun, Esperanza gets herself out of shame once she gets to the canteen. To succeed, Esperanza must overcome society's obstacles and also her own feelings of shame.

What is called our Earth?Our home planet, Earth, is unlike any other. Earth, the third planet from the sun, is the only place in the known universe where life has been confirmed. Earth is the fifth largest planet in our solar system, with a radius of 3,959 miles, and the only one known to have liquid water on its surface.
The Earth formed over 4.6 billion years ago from a mixture of dust and gas surrounding the young sun. It grew larger as a result of numerous collisions between dust particles, asteroids, and other growing planets, including one final massive impact that threw enough rock, gas, and dust into space to form the moon.
Thus, the ideal selection is option A.
