How can "The Transplant" in refugees by vetthanh Nguyen be read as a satire on America's obsession with labels, status, and financial wealth? And what consequences does the story seem to suggest these obsessions have on both the individual and American society as a whole?
Answer and Explanation:
"The Refugees" can be read as a satire on America's obsession with labels, status and financial wealth. That's because "The Refugees" tells the story of several families of immigrants who see America as the ideal place to escape their problems related to their home country. This is due to the stereotype created by the Americans themselves that America is the land of prosperity, ignoring the difficulties that a person can go through to prosper.
This stereotype can cause disappointment in foreigners, or even the loss of cultural identity, making them not feel a sense of belonging to something, since they cannot belong to a specific culture. Society can also be affected, as it ends up being composed of individuals who are dissatisfied, but are unable to change.
How, does the proverbial Russian definition of a hero, "He who hangs on for one minute more," apply to flawed heroes like Indiana Jones, Iron Man, and Batman? Include examples from the reading to support your conclusion. Your response must cite the articles you read in the lesson.
Imperfect heroes are those who present a history where good and evil are not simple, well-defined and well-defined concepts, but which mix, as in the real way. These heroes have problems defining what is right and what is wrong, in many moments, they have several traumas and problems, but they are able to endure their limitations and imperfections to promote what they believe is right. In other words, these characters believe that if they succeeded, in the midst of the imperfections they have to get where they are, it means that they can take it a little longer. In this sense, we can associate the Russian proverbial about the hero being "the one who can take another minute," with these characters, because they do not give up on good beings, even when it is difficult.
Answer: I couldn't find anything on this either so I hope this helps!
Flawed hero's are a more interesting take on heroic archetypes. Flawed hero's deal with the same internal challenges that we do, often in the works of bettering themselves and overcoming their human issues. This makes them relatable and more inspiring in a sense, because it's instead of seeing something that seems completely out of this world and impossible, you're seeing someone you look up to never give up on being good, even when its hard. With that, we can connect the proverbial Russian definition of. a hero, "He who hangs on for one minute more" to flawed hero's because flawed hero's represent relatability, humility, humanism, but also the strength of never giving up.
at least two paragraphs, compare the process for electing the state governor with electing the U.S. president. Explain which process you think is more democratic with at least three reasons to justify your position.
Answer:
The debate over the continued use of the Electoral College resurfaced during the 2016 presidential election, when Donald Trump lost the general election to Hillary Clinton by over 2.8 million votes and won the Electoral College by 74 votes. The official general election results indicate that Trump received 304 Electoral College votes and 46.09% of the popular vote (62,984,825 votes), and Hillary Clinton received 227 Electoral College votes and 48.18% of the popular vote (65,853,516 votes). [1]
Prior to the 2016 election, there were four times in US history when a candidate won the presidency despite losing the popular vote: 1824 (John Quincy Adams over Andrew Jackson), 1876 (Rutherford B. Hayes over Samuel Tilden), 1888 (Benjamin Harrison over Grover Cleveland), and 2000 (George W. Bush over Al Gore). [2]
The Electoral College was established in 1788 by Article II of the US Constitution, which also established the executive branch of the US government, and was revised by the Twelfth Amendment (ratified June 15, 1804), the Fourteenth Amendment (ratified July 1868), and the Twenty-Third Amendment (ratified Mar. 29, 1961). Because the procedure for electing the president is part of the Constitution, a Constitutional Amendment (which requires two-thirds approval in both houses of Congress plus approval by 38 states) would be required to abolish the Electoral College. [3] [4] [5] [6]
The Founding Fathers created the Electoral College as a compromise between electing the president via a vote in Congress only or via a popular vote only. The Electoral College comprises 538 electors; each state is allowed one elector for each Representative and Senator (DC is allowed 3 electors as established by the Twenty-Third Amendment). [3] [4] [5] [6]
In each state, a group of electors is chosen by each political party. On election day, voters choosing a presidential candidate are actually casting a vote for an elector. Most states use the “winner-take-all” method, in which all electoral votes are awarded to the winner of the popular vote in that state. In Nebraska and Maine, the candidate that wins the state’s overall popular vote receives two electors, and one elector from each congressional district is apportioned to the popular vote winner in that district. For a candidate to win the presidency, he or she must win at least 270 Electoral College votes. [3] [4] [5] [6]
At least 700 amendments have been proposed to modify or abolish the Electoral College. [25]
On Monday Dec. 19, 2016, the electors in each state met to vote for President and Vice President of the United States. Of the 538 Electoral College votes available, Donald J. Trump received 304 votes, Hillary Clinton received 227 votes, and seven votes went to others: three for Colin Powell, one for Faith Spotted Eagle, one for John Kasich, one for Ron Paul, and one for Bernie Sanders). On Dec. 22, 2016, the results were certified in all 50 states. On Jan. 6, 2017, a joint session of the US Congress met to certify the election results and Vice President Joe Biden, presiding as President of the Senate, read the certified vote tally. [21] [22]
For the 2020 election, electors are scheduled to meet and vote on Dec. 14, and deliver the results on Dec. 23. [23] A Sep. 2020 Gallup poll found 61% of Americans were in favor of abolishing the Electoral College, up 12 points from 2016. [24]

Which revisions fix the inappropriate shift in tense in the sentence? Janelle walks into the house and found a package. Select each correct answer. Janelle walks into the house and finds a package. Janelle walked into the house and had found a package. Janelle is walking into the house and found a package. Janelle walked into the house and found a package.
Answer:
The revisions which fix the inappropriate shift in tense in the sentence are:
A. Janelle walks into the house and finds a package.
D. Janelle walked into the house and found a package.
Explanation:
Let's underline the verbs in the original sentence and identify the tenses:
Janelle walks into the house and found a package.
The first verb is "walks", and it is clearly in the simple present tense. Notice the ending -s for the third person singular. The second verb is "found", which is the past form of the verb "find". Therefore, it is in the simple past tense.
To properly revise the sentence, we must choose between one of the two tenses so that the actions described will be in accordance. Thus, we should either use only the simple present or only the simple past for both verbs. That is precisely what we have in options A and D. Option A uses the simple present "walks" and "finds", while option D uses the simple past "walked" and "found". They are, for that reason, the correct options.

How does the description of Madame Carambeau’s house in paragraphs 1-2 contribute to the meaning of the passage?
This question is about "A Matter of Prejudice".
Answer:
The description of the house shows how old and outdated it was, just like its owner Madame Carambeau.
Explanation:
Madame Carambeau is a woman full of prejudices, old-fashioned, snobbish and intolerant. She lives within old concepts that no longer fit within today's society and this causes her to stop enjoying many good and happy things that life can offer, such as keeping a family together, having friends and keeping in touch with her own son. .
The old-fashioned way that Madame Carambeau lives can be seen even in her home, which has an outdated and somewhat old model by the standards where the story takes place.

Answer:
Main Idea

The Main Idea of a text should answer the question, "Who or what is this text about?" because unlike the topic which is the general subject of the text, the main idea is a more complete description of what the text is all about, and what the author wants to convey.
