Answer: Americans paid more for Cigarettes and cigars than they did for the space program.
Explanation:
On September 12, 1962, President Kennedy gave a speech about the goals of the U.S. in terms of Space travel. He spoke of how the annual cost to prepare the U.S. to go to space was $5,400 million but then made a joke of how this amount was less than the amount that Americans paid yearly for cigarettes and cigars.
He then went on to state his view that America would be on the moon by the end of the 60s and this was accomplished in 1969.

"In the brush houses by the shore Kino's neighbors sat long over their breakfasts, and they spoke of what they would do if
they had found the pearl. And one man said that he would give it as a present to the Holy Father in Rome. Another said that
he would buy Masses for the souls of his family for a thousand years. Another thought he might take the money and
distribute it among the poor of La Paz; and a fourth thought of all the good things one could do with the money from the
pearl, of all the charities, benefits, of all the rescues one could perform if one had money. All of the neighbors hoped that
sudden wealth would not turn Kino's head, would not make a rich man of him, would not graft onto him the evil limbs of
greed and hatred and coldness."

Which detail best demonstrates discourse between characters?
excerpt from A Good Place for Maggie
by Ofelia Dumas Lachtman
"ACCIDENT AT GREENSTON NUCLEAR PLANT, No Danger to Community, Officials Say."
Every time that headline from yesterday's Los Angeles News flashed into her mind, Margarita—Maggie-Cruz griped the steering wheel of her
w more tightly and assured herself that she was doing the right thing. It wasn't as if she were in danger from the Greenston plant in the desert
hundreds of miles away, but those headlines had been the convincing factor in her decision. Yes, it was the right thing to do, and hour after hour
as she drove north of Los Angeles, she had felt more and more competent and more secure. Until now.
For the last hour she had been so intent on the changing countryside that she forgot to buy gas. The gauge said empty. She drove on, dreading
the moment when the motor would draw on the last drop of gasoline and give up. She was driving on a narrow country road lined with tall
eucalyptus trees and nothing else. Then in a clearing on the left side of the road, she saw a battered old sign with faded red letters: G-A-S. No, it
wasn't a mirage; it was more like a miracle. With a grateful sigh she turned into the run-down station, bumping over broken concrete and coming
to a stop by one of two pumps.
A weary-looking old man in grease-spotted overalls appeared beside her. "Fill 'er up?"
"Is it cheaper if I pump it myself?" It didn't look as if he'd take a credit card and she was low on cash.
"All the same here, missy," the man called, rounding the car. "Fill 'er up?
Maggie said yes, please go ahead, and climbed out of the blue W. Good thing I didn't splurge on lunch, she thought, staring at the pumps. Gas is
almost twice as high up here as it is in Los Angeles. But I'm not complaining. When she had driven mile after mile without finding a gas station,
she had begun to think that maybe being sixteen and a half didn't make her that smart, maybe a trip like this was a little much for her. Now she
felt better. She stretched and thought, Dad would be proud of me. I'm doing what is right for me. Oh, I'll miss my friends, especially Mim and
Lorena. I'll even miss Ryan. I wonder if he was really going to ask me to the TGI June bash? Well, that's history. Now is now.

What is the Central Idea of this poem?
“Caged Bird”
by Maya Angelou
The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wings
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with fearful trill
of the things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
Answer:
The main idea of the poem is that Maya wants to show how her race was treated and that they tried to be free or any race or person facing discrimination trying to be free.
Explanation:
hope this helps :)
Answer: A
A: why the emotional pain of oppression makes the caged bird shout
B: why the caged bird stands on the grave and shouts
C: why the caged bird sings of freedom after having a nightmare
D: why the caged bird fears freedom and sings instead

Read the passage, then do as required
Most of us have formed an unrealistic picture of life on a desert island. We sometimes
imagine a desert island to be a sort of paradise where the sun always shines. Life there is
simple and good. Ripe fruit falls from the trees and you never have to work. The other side
of the picture is quite the opposite. Life on a desert island is wretched. You either starve to
death or live like 'Robinson Crusoe', waiting for a boat which never comes. Perhaps there is
an element of truth in both these pictures, but few of us have had the opportunity to find
out.
Two men who recently spent five days on a coral island wished they had stayed there
longer. They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Island to Miami to have it
repaired. During the journey, their boat began to sink. They quickly located a small rubber
dinghy with food, matches, water and rowed for a few miles across the Caribbean until they
arrived at a tiny coral island. There were hardly any trees on the island and there was no
water, but this did not prove to be a problem. The men collected rain- water in the rubber
dinghy. As they had brought a spear gun with them, they had plenty to eat.
They caught lobsters and fish every day, and , as one of them put it ' ate like kings' ! When a
passing tanker rescued them five days later, both men were genuinely sorry that they had
to leave.
Questions:
1-Choose a suitable title for this passage.
2-According to the information given In the text, how the two men came to the desert
island? And what did they do there ?
3-If you were stuck on a desert island, and you have the chance to bring ( 3 items / things )
to help you survive in this island. What will you bring with you? And why?
4-What would you change / or add in this text, if you are the author ?
5-Can you summarize the text in two or three sentences?
6-Think of another Ending for this story.
7-If you got the chance to ask the author of this passage, one question, what would it be?
Answer
The Ultimate Experience
They were on their way, their boat died, they grabbed the dinghy and reached a deserted island.
They made sure to protect themselves, feed themselves, and find water.
Knife, Fire -(stuff to make fire), Rope - many uses for rope
I would add the info about the animals on the island and what it was like to look up at the night sky so dark and beautiful full of stars
Two men were recently rescued from a deserted island. They were found safe. They enjoyed the experience so much that they did not want to leave. They were rescued.
Ending - I can see the Swiss Family Robinson story taking place and these 2 guys building them a house and staying on the island.
Question: Would you like to end up on a deserted island?
