Answer:
light of human conscience
Type of figurative language:
Metaphor
Meaning of figurative language:
Just as the human conscience always reminds us of the truth it is compared to light because of its transparency.
Effect on tone and mood:
It has a serious tone and creates a solemn mood
Effect on audience:
It makes the audience reflect on their conscience which tells them that injustice is wrong as illuminating and right.
Explanation:
A Metaphor is a figurative language that links an object directly to another. The reason why a metaphor is used is to make the audience imagine what the author is talking about.
Since the object being linked to the words the author wishes to use is very relatable to the audience, it makes the thoughts easier to convey and more real to the audience. This is what Martin Luther King aims to achieve when he linked light to the human conscience.
Pick the sentence that avoids redundancy and wordiness.
When Luther realized his mistake, his cheeks turned the same rosy red flush as his red T-shirt
When Luther realized his mistake, his cheeks flushed, turning the same color as his T-shirt.
When Luther realized his embarrassing mistake, his cheeks began turning the same rosy color as his T-shirt.
When Luther realized his mistake, his cheeks turned the same rosy red glow as his red T-shirt.
Answer:
The second one
Explanation:
The other sentences keep describing the color of his cheeks and shirt and in the second one, it describes his cheeks being flushed, meaning red, and how it's the same color as his shirt.
Answer:
When Luther realized his mistake, his cheeks flushed, turning the same color as his T-shirt.
Explanation:
Bewildered is a term used to characterize a set of disconnected words. We can also say that verbiage is a speech without nexus or even an insignificant conversation, speech or talk. On the other hand, redundancy is an unnecessary repetition of ideas, also called vague pleonasm or tautology.
Following this reasoning we can see that only the sentence "When Luther realized his mistake, his cheeks flushed, turning the same color as his T-shirt." is the only option that has neither wordiness nor redundancy.

Explanation:
According to Thoreau, what happens to those individuals who “serve the state with their consciences”?why?
Answer:
Thoreau believes the majority of men serve the state physically, or “as machines, with their bodies.” These individuals make up the military and police forces, and because they are unable to make judgments or moral decisions--only follow orders--Thoreau does not think very highly of these individuals. In fact, though others admire the men in these positions, Thoreau see them as beasts of burden or pets of the state.
“They have the same sort of worth only as horses and dogs.” (ouch!)
A smaller set serve legislatively, and in this Thoreau includes pastors. These individuals are on a higher level than the previous group because they are able to make moral judgments and to act on it.
The final set, and the one that Thoreau admires, are those that serve ideologically : “heroes, patriots, martyrs, reformers…” These individuals are often seen as the enemies of the state for using their consciences to resist any injustice they see. They are not appreciated for their efforts by others,...

Giuseppe and I held tightly to Stepfather's hands, while Liberta and Helvetia clung to Mother. Passengers all about us were crowding against the rail. Jabbered conversations, sharp cries, laughs and cheers -- a steadily rising din filled the air. Mothers and fathers lifted up babies so that they too could see, off to the left, the Statue of Liberty.
It was noisy on the ship sailing to America. Immigrant parents and children made a lot of noise, especially when they got to the Statue of Liberty.
Immigrant families sailing to America were excited when they finally made it to the New York harbor. Everyone on board made happy noise as they reached the United States.
Everyone on board the ship was fighting to see the Statue of Liberty. Babies and mothers and fathers all cried because they couldn’t see it, because it was off to the left.
Immigrant children had to hold tightly to their parents’ hands. There was so much crowding and jostling on board the ship. If they didn’t stay close to their parents, they would fall off the boat.

Both organization and structure come into play here as well, the organization being the roadmap that the structure bolsters up
Which detail from The Narrative of The Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave by Frederick Douglass best supports the inference that he had previously tried to escape from slavery?
Answer:
One ex-slave who became very important in the abolitionist movement was Frederick Douglass. You will read about his life from his birth in approximately 1818 to the time when his first autobiography Opens in modal popup window was published (1845). By that time, Douglass had earned his freedom, worked for several years, and made an important speech to a white audience.
The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass was so well written that many people doubted whether the writer had really been a slave. And it was so successful that Douglass had to flee to England to avoid being caught by slave hunters who were chasing him in the North. Eventually, several British friends paid Douglass's former master for Douglass's freedom, and Douglass returned to the United States as a legally free man.
In 1860, Douglass worked for the presidential campaign of Abraham Lincoln. During the Civil War that soon followed, Douglass recruited Union soldiers, including black soldiers, for two regiments in Massachusetts.
Douglass went on to publish two updates to his autobiography later in life—one in 1855 (still pre-Civil War) and another in 1881. He published a newspaper, gave lectures, and spoke out for human rights around the world.
Look at the time line to get an idea of where Frederick Douglass belongs in a historical context. Be sure to click the area between 1845 and 1865 for details about Douglass's role in the years leading up to, and including, the Civil War.

12d. What is similar and/or different about each author’s style in the two selections above? (Think about themes, word choice, tone, form, etc.)
Answer:
William Bradford.
Anne Bradstreet.
Explanation:
Excerpt written by Willian Bradford, in the poem "A word to New England":
"Oh New England, you can not boast;
Thy former glory thou hast lost.
When H00ker, Winthrop, Cotton died,
And many precious ones beside,
Thy beauty then it did decay,
And still doth languish more away. "
William Bradford was one of the first American writers, being one of the most important in the literary production and in the general history of the country. He was a Puritan, served as governor of the Plymouth colony and is the author of the most important account of English colonists and the difficulties they faced on the new continent.
Excerpt written by Anne Bradstreet, in the poem "Upon a Fit of Sickness":
"Bubble blast, how long can'st last?
That always art a breaking,
No sooner blown, but dead and gone,
Ev'n as a word that's speaking.
The whil'st I live, this grace me give,
I doing good may be,
Then death's arrest I shall count best,
because it's thy decree. "
Anne Bradstreet is recognized as the first poet within the territory where the USA is today. She never went to school, but she learned to read and write with her father who was instrumental in her education and one of the main responsible for her ability. She was also a Puritan, but she was not well regarded by other Puritans for displaying behavior considered wrong for that society, such as a woman writing and showing love for her husband.
2 Free Market Economy Summary: Imagine you are a business owner. You have a set of goods you sell, make, or produce in some way. Your store can be whatever you like including one that sells goods, one that sells services, or a corporation of some sort. Using what you have learned about the free market economy and reflecting upon the work from earlier this week, summarize how your business would function under each form of economic system. Give examples of what it would look like. Be creative in your narrative as this is supposed to be a fun and creative writing using what you have learned. Traditional: I Free Market: Command: Mixed:
Explanation:
Note, a free-market economy is an economy that little government control over the supply and demand of most goods and services.
Since we operate under a free market economy, we would have or expect to have competitors who sell similar goods and services as we do. We would expect the prices of goods and services to change based on supply/demand factors. And lastly, as a corporation of some sort, we are going to enjoy the freedom to expand our operations without government restrictions.
PLZ HELLLP!! I need a very very short story. it can be about anything but with some sort of twist in the end. anything simple will do.
Minimum of 150 words.
Answer: This story takes place in Chinatown, New York, where a drought has caused a famine, resulting in everyone starving to death and suffering. The townspeople, Aurora, Bing, Bo, Bojing, Chao, Wohang, Malana, Uett, Wong, Ilan, muhang, Jing, Hing, Aya and many others were in danger and fearful of what the future might hold for them. Their spirits were helpless and when the lord came, things only got worse for them. This is a story about finding hope through the worst of times.
1. A lord by the name of Ozawa, who looked well-fed and in expensive clothing, visited the village with his army to ask the townspeople to hand whatever money they had. A man by the name of Bojing, dressed in brown rags, went up to the lord and tried handing him 3 dimes, but his hand got pushed away by one of the guards, dropping the money. The lord, with a confused look on his face, thought he was being attacked so he told his men to seize Bojing The guards, dressed in intimidating armor, intervened and arrested the man.
2. A few days after he was arrested, his friends visited him and tried to explain to the jailer what had happened. The jailer didn't believe what they had to say and turned them away saying “Bojing had to serve his 2 month sentence”. Bojing, however, never gave up hope and spent the time in jail planning his revenge against Ozawa. He believed that if he could make the lord pay, it would help the village.
3. Bojing was pacing in his jail cell thinking about reasoning with the lord in order to get him to help the village. His argument would be, “if the villages under your control were poor and starving, you will appear useless, weakening your rule.” Bojing was planning to use the lord's confidence against him to control him into helping the village and possibly making him give up his power.

if i was going to express my opinion about this topic it would would mostly about how the US has been treating black people all this years it was not only george floyd who was gun shot they have been mistreating black people and had blamed them for the things they haven't done just because they are black it doesn't mean they are different or they don't deserve to have the humans equality and right the black people should be respected and have all the rights that other people have. my contention would be that keep protesting the safe way because violence is not going to do anything then making worst if we protest with violence and they will make reports saying that they are protesting just because they want to steal and destroy things.
Answer:
The United States of America have been treating African Americans systemically worse than the general population for years before people woke up after the shooting of George Floyd. It has been shown in many of the states largest cities, black communities were policied differently, not treated with the same financial funding for education and other social programs that white communties recieved. With the recent events of George Floyd and countless other victims of police brutality, protests should remain peaceful, respectful and organized. These type of silent protests lead to more respect from both sides whether you agree or not and doesn't distance others who are on the fence of the issue at hand, systemic racism in the United States.

1. DISAGREE- Even though its the name your parents gave you, you have the right to change it if you dilike it or you want to be called something else.
2. DISAGREE- Names are names. It is a matter of OPINION what name is better. It isn't a FACT which names are better than others.
3. DISAGREE- Moving to a new coutnry does not mean you are abondoning your old culture. You can bring it with you to your new country and share your traditions and customs with everyone else. This has been done a lot. For example, tacos, burritos were brought over from mexico.
4. DISAGREE- Not always. For example, just because you are from america, doesn't mean you know everyone from america. Plus, there are 328.2 million people from America. You don't know them all.

Ms. Gonzales has made a lifelong impact on Samantha
Samantha still spends time with Ms. Gonzales
Samantha uses the quilt all the time.
Samantha did not complete the community service assignment
Read the passage and answer the following question(s)
The Patchwork Quilt
Samantha paused in her spring cleaning to press her cheek against the soothing plumpness of the patchwork quilt. Its still–rich colors transported her mind back to the day she'd been given the quilt. In her mind's eye she could see herself going into Mrs. Gonzales's house that first, cloudy October afternoon. Putting down her broom, Samantha sat down at her bedroom desk and allowed herself the luxury of a little nostalgic dreaming...
Mrs. Gonzales, I'm here! fourteen–year–old Samantha called out softly in the dusty gloom of Mrs. Gonzales's front hallway.
Who is it? a thin, quivering voice replied from the direction of the bedroom.
Samantha! Samantha Parsons to read to you, Samantha answered, making her way down the dim hallway toward the old woman's bedroom. Standing in the doorway she took in the tidy, restful scene of the elderly woman sitting up in her bed wearing a frilly, purple nightgown, and slowly sorting square patches of bright fabric. Her fingers were bent and gnarled, but her nails were beautifully manicured in pink polish.
Ah, Samantha. I remember now. You gave me a fright just now, but come on in and sit down, she said cozily, pointing at a rocking chair beside her bed.
I'm sorry I scared you. Your daughter said I could let myself in. She left the door unlocked for me, as long as I locked it behind me when I came and when I left, Samantha explained, sitting down in the cushioned, but creaking, rocking chair.
Tell me, Niña, why do you want to read aloud to me? Rosa, my daughter, you know, said something about your school's community service program.
Yes, my English teacher has asked all of her classes to do something for the community for six hours each week. We get credit for English class because at the end of the semester I have to write a paper about my community service and what I learned from it. So, I thought... if I could... , Samantha faltered in her explanation, nervously biting her lower lip.
I see, I see, Mrs. Gonzales cackled merrily, then began to cough harshly, painfully. Her faded brown eyes filled with tears, and her lined face looked pained as her body shook with coughs. When she'd recovered from her coughing spell, she added, "You thought you could read aloud to an old invalid woman like me, eh? What shall we read, Niña?"
So, Samantha had read through many afternoons after school, while October, November and December rainstorms rumbled outside and Mrs. Gonzales painstakingly stitched her quilts and coughed. Samantha read To Kill a Mockingbird, Great Expectations, and a thick volume of Ernest Hemingway's short stories. It wasn't exactly entertaining, especially when she missed going to the movies or the mall after school with her friends, but gradually Samantha began to see the value of what she was doing for Mrs. Gonzales... and for herself. She began to fall in love with the characters in the books, especially Atticus Finch and his intrepid little daughter, Scout.
The second week in December, Mrs. Gonzales's lung disease took a turn for the worse, and she had to be hospitalized for immediate surgery. The evening after Mrs. Gonzales's surgery, her daughter Rosa came to the Parsons home with the good news that Mrs. Gonzales was recuperating well and would be home for New Year's Eve celebrations. She brought something else, too—a beautifully wrapped package which she presented to Samantha.
I know you read to my mother for a school assignment, but to her your time was like a special gift, so she wanted you to have this, and she asked me to tell you to please come and see her sometime. When you come, she wants you to please bring the paper you write about your community service experience.
Samantha opened the package with trembling fingers, and smiled when she saw what lay inside. It was the patchwork quilt Mrs. Gonzales had been piecing together on that first day Samantha had begun reading to her. Samantha thanked Rosa quietly as she opened the richly colored folds of the quilt, and said, "It's beautiful! Please tell your mother I'll always treasure it!"
...Samantha reluctantly brought her mind back from the memory of all of those afternoons she'd spent reading to the ailing Mrs. Gonzales. She'd never forget those novels and stories she'd read because the characters were as much a part of the experience as Mrs. Gonzales's friendship had been. Watching the woman's good–natured attitude toward her own suffering had taught Samantha an invaluable lesson about human endurance and courage. Gently folding the patchwork quilt, she put it back into the trunk at the foot of her bed, and picked up her broom again.
Answer:
Samantha did not complete the community service assignment
Answer: Well from reading the passage, I can definitely say, Ms, Gonzales has made a lifelong impact on Samantha.

Since his wife, Michelle, left seven years ago, Jeffy Coltrane has worked to maintain a normal life for himself and his eleven-year-old daughter, Amity, in Suavidad Beach. It’s a quiet life, until a local eccentric known as Spooky Ed shows up on their doorstep.
Ed entrusts Jeffy with hiding a strange and dangerous object—something he calls “the key to everything”—and tells Jeffy that he must never use the device. But after a visit from a group of ominous men, Jeffy and Amity find themselves accidentally activating the key and discovering an extraordinary truth. The device allows them to jump between parallel planes at once familiar and bizarre, wondrous and terrifying. And Jeffy and Amity can’t help but wonder, could Michelle be just a click away?
Jeffy and Amity aren’t the only ones interested in the device. A man with a dark purpose is in pursuit, determined to use its grand potential for profound evil. Unless Amity and Jeffy can outwit him, the place they call home may never be safe again.
