Write 2 paragraphs about Lorraine Hansberry's life
Answer:
Lorraine Hansberry was born at Provident Hospital on the South Side of Chicago on May 19, 1930. She was the youngest of Nannie Perry Hansberry and Carl Augustus Hansberry’s four children. Her father founded Lake Street Bank, one of the first banks for blacks in Chicago, and ran a successful real estate business. Her uncle was William Leo Hansberry, a scholar of African studies at Howard University in Washington, D.C.
Many prominent African American social and political leaders visited the Hansberry household during Lorraine’s childhood including sociology professor W.E.B. DuBois, poet Langston Hughes, actor and political activist Paul Robeson, musician Duke Ellington and Olympic gold medalist Jesse Owens.
Despite their middle-class status, the Hansberrys were subject to segregation. When she was 8 years old, Hansberry’s family deliberately attempted to move into a restricted neighborhood. Restrictive covenants, in which white property owners agreed not to sell to blacks, created a ghetto known as the “Black Belt” on Chicago’s South Side. Carl Hansberry, with the help of Harry H. Pace, president of the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company and several white realtors, secretly bought property at 413 E. 60th Street and 6140 S. Rhodes Avenue. The Hansberrys moved into the house on Rhodes Avenue in May 1937. The family was threatened by a white mob, which threw a brick through a window, narrowly missing Lorraine. The Supreme Court of Illinois upheld the legality of the restrictive covenant and forced the family to leave the house. The U.S. Supreme Court reversed the decision on a legal technicality. The result was the opening of 30 blocks of South Side Chicago to African Americans. Although the case did not argue that racially restrict covenants were unlawful, it marked the beginning of their end.
Lorraine graduated from Englewood High School in Chicago, where she first became interested in theater. She enrolled in the University of Wisconsin but left before completing her degree. After studying painting in Chicago and Mexico, Hansberry moved to New York in 1950 to begin her career as a writer. She wrote for Paul Robeson’s Freedom, a progressive publication, which put her in contact with other literary and political mentors such as W.E.B. DuBois and Freedom editor Louis Burnham. During a protest against racial discrimination at New York University, she met Robert Nemiroff, a Jewish writer who shared her political views. They married on June 20, 1953 at the Hansberrys’ home in Chicago.
In 1956, her husband and Burt D’Lugoff wrote the hit song, “Cindy, Oh Cindy.” Its profits allowed Hansberry to quit working and devote herself to writing. She then began a play she called The Crystal Stair, from Langston Hughes’ poem “Mother to Son.” She later retitled it A Raisin in the Sun from Hughes’ poem, “Harlem: A Dream Deferred.”
In A Raisin in the Sun, the first play written by an African American to be produced on Broadway, she drew upon the lives of the working-class black people who rented from her father and who went to school with her on Chicago’s South Side. She also used members of her family as inspiration for her characters. Hansberry noted similarities between Nannie Hansberry and Mama Younger and between Carl Hansberry and Big Walter. Walter Lee, Jr. and Ruth are composites of Hansberry’s brothers, their wives and her sister, Mamie. In an interview, Hansberry laughingly said “Beneatha is me, eight years ago.”
Her second play, The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window, about a Jewish intellectual, ran on Broadway for 101 performances. It received mixed reviews. Her friends rallied to keep the play running. It closed on January 12, 1965, the day Hansberry died of cancer at 34.
Although Hansberry and Nemiroff divorced before her death, he remained dedicated to her work. As literary executor, he edited and published her three unfinished plays: Les Blancs, The Drinking Gourd and What Use Are Flowers? He also collected Hansberry’s unpublished writings, speeches and journal entries and presented them in the autobiographical montage To Be Young, Gifted and Black. The title is taken from a speech given by Hansberry in May 1964 to winners of a United Negro Fund writing competition: “…though it be thrilling and marvelous thing to be merely young and gifted in such times, it is doubly so, doubly dynamic, to be young, gifted and black!”

An environmentalist delivered a speech about how young people are unwilling to conserve natural resources. Which sentence in the passage contains the persuasive technique of expert opinion?
Teens and Conversion Trends
An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore's movie on global warming, is now the fourth highest-grossing documentary of all time. But apparently, it isn't young adults who are paying the price of the ticket or, more important, taking the truth about the environment to heart.
In fact, the inconvenient truth today is that youths' willingness to conserve gas, heat, and energy has taken a steep plunge since the 1980s. According to data from Monitoring the Future, a federally funded national survey on trends in the attitudes, values, and behavior of high school seniors since 1976, there has been a clear decline in conservation behavior among 18-year-olds over the past 27 years; although, we are not yet sure whether these attitudes follow youths into adulthood. One of every fifteen teens participates in conservation. Compare that to one in five during the 1970s. This decline, interestingly, is coupled with a rise in materialistic values.
In fact, trends in materialism and conservation are highly related. At times when youths place higher value on material goods, they are also much less likely to say they would conserve resources. And when youths are more materially driven, they are also less likely to believe that natural resources will become scarce in the future. Since the 1990s, the trends in materialism seem to have topped out at a steady high level. The willingness to conserve keeps declining. These opposing values should raise a red flag about the consumer culture and its influence on youth.
The correct text in the passage is
According to data from Monitoring the Future, a federally funded national survey on trends in the attitudes, values, and behavior of high school seniors since 1976, there has been a clear decline in conservation behavior among 18-year-olds over the past 27 years; although, we are not yet sure whether these attitudes follow youths into adulthood.What is the aim of the Monitoring the Future study?The Monitoring the Future is known to be a type of continuing Study that looks into the Lifestyles and values of Youth.

Story of someone with split personality
Answer:
hope it helpsExplanation:
Sandra was a 25-year-old soldier hospitalized for sudden changes in behavior and episodes of apparently poor memory. She was confused about her recent history and believed that she was in a different hospital located 800 miles from the place where she had in fact been admitted. The diagnoses initially considered included schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, antisocial personality disorder, and substance abuse. She was started on neuroleptics (tranquilizers) with little benefit.
Science nas given humans many amazing devices and useful bits of knowledge. We know so much about our bodies and how to stay healthy, for
example. We also know how to make machines and devices that make life easy for
us. Scientists dedicate their lives to knowledge, but even with a
lifetime commitment, sometimes scientists fail to find all the answers. One mystery that still remains unsolved is why
we yawn-what makes us yawn and
what purpose it serves.
Recent studies suggest that we yawn when we get tired as a way to encourage our brains. The theory is that yawning helps cool the brain, allowing it to
work more efficiently. According to WebMD's article about these studies, when you yawn, your jaw muscles get stretched, increasing blood flow to your
neck face, and head. Also a deep breath during the yawn forces spinal fluid and blood down from the brain. The cool air then cools down these fluids.
Other scientists believe, however, that yawning is a form of communication. This theory attempts to explain why yawning seems to spread from person to
IS person. This kind of behavior is called *contagious yawning" and carries with it a possible social
message. Scientists are not yet sure what exactly the
message is, but they believe people who have more social empathy are more likely to start yawning when they see someone else yawning.
Scientists will continue to investigate the mystery of the yawn. Is it a leftover behavior from before humans had language? Was it a "Hey, I'm sleepy. Let's
go to sleep" message? Or is it really just a way to keep our brains cool? While this is behavior still is largely a mystery, one thing is certain: you are probably
fighting the urge to yawn right about now.
According to the text, what is one purpose of the yawn?
TO encourage the brain
O To find all the answers
O To wake up the body
O To exercise facial muscles
Answer:
To wake up the body

write a letter to the editor of a newspaper complaining about poor public bus service in Nepal
Answer:
Sir
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the attention of the concerned authorities to the poor bus service for the residents of R. K. Puram, Secunderabad.
It is a huge colony situated on the outskirts of the city with a population of more than ten thousand people. I would like to inform you that due to poor bus service, lives of the residents are getting adversely affected.
People have to walk a long distance to reach the bus stop. Since the frequency of the buses in the area is low, people have to wait for thirty minutes to one hour. At times, buses do not even stop.
Worst affected are the school children and office goers. As they are left with no other option than to hire expensive private modes of transport, such as private auto rickshaws, taxis, etc.
Buses coming from the other side are always overcrowded. They are so jam packed that many passengers face difficulty in boarding them.
What is more shocking is the indifferent attitude of the drivers and conductors, who, at times, cause inconvenience to the passengers, by talking back and using indecent language.
Being someone getting affected by poor bus service every day, I have sent pleas for quick action to the transport authority numerous times. But nothing has been said or done about it.
The problem can be easily dealt with if adequate measures are taken. First and foremost, there should be a few additional buses plying on this route so that people do not have to wait for a long time to reach their destination. More number of buses will prevent over crowding and allowing passengers to commute comfortably.
Strict action should be taken against irresponsible and misbehaving bus drivers and conductors, who try to create nuisance for the passengers.
I hope I have been able to highlight the problem in this letter and that adequate measures will be taken without further delay. Looking forward to a positive change.
Thank you
Yours sincerely

1. Why does the mother in the poem deny her child
the chance to join one of the Freedom Marches
in downtown Birmingham? Cite evidence from
the poem to support your answer.
Answer and Explanation:
This question refers to the poem "Ballad of Birmingham", by Dudley Randall. In the poem, a child is asking her mother if she can march the streets of Birmingham with other kids, protesting for equality and civil rights. However, the mother will not let her go. She is afraid the police will end up resorting to violence against the crowd, hurting her daughter:
"No, baby, no, you may not go
For the dogs are fierce and wild.
And clubs and hoses, guns and jails,
Aren't good for a little child."
"No, baby, no, you may not go
For I fear those guns will fire."
Unfortunately, at the end of the poem, the child ends up getting killed at the church, a place her mother considered safe.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling - review
One of my favourite books is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling. It is a story about Harry Potter, an orphan brought up by his aunt and uncle because his parents were killed when he was a baby. Harry is unloved by his uncle and aunt but everything changes when he is invited to join Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and he finds out he's a wizard. At Hogwarts Harry realises he's special and his adventures begin when he and his new friends Ron and Hermione attempt to unravel the mystery of the Philosopher's Stone.
I can read this book over and over again. From the very beginning until the end J.K. Rowling has me gripped! There is never a dull moment, whether it's battling with trolls, a three-headed dog, or Harry facing Lord Voldermort. I would definitely recommend this book because it keeps you reading without ever wanting to put the book down. By the end of the book you come to love the characters and you want to read more. You won't be disappointed because the second book in the series, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is just as great! If you haven't read any of the Harry Potter books you are missing out on the best series ever!

"And look how well my garments sit upon me;
Much feater than before: my brother's servants
Were then my fellows; now they are my men."
