I have found this question online. It refers to the short story "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut.
Answer and Explanation:
Yes, I believe people's expectations and treatment of Harrison and his eventual actions could be considered a self-fulfilling prophecy.
A self-fulfilling prophecy is a result of the Pygmalion effect theory, which claims we are influenced by other people's expectations of us. When we begin to believe what others think of us to be the truth, we change our behavior in accordance to it. We end up fulfilling the prophecies others have made about us, that is, we confirm their expectations.
That is what Harrison, the main character, does. In the story, the American government has decided to promote equality in a most absurd manner. People who are considered beautiful or intelligent, for instance, are forced to wear handicaps so that others will not feel inferior. Harrison is only 14 years old, and he is forced to wear loads of handicaps, not only to make him less handsome and strong, but also to make him less intelligent. For that reason, Harrison begins to see himself as truly superior to others. What the government does to him leads him to believe he is special, and that the world deserves to see that.
Harrison escapes from jail, appears before cameras, removes his own handicaps, and dances with a ballerina. Both are shot dead by a government official. If Harrison were truly superior in intelligence, he would most likely not have done that, since he knew he would be breaking the law and the outcome was quite obvious. It was because he was treated as intelligent, not because he was truly intelligent, that Harrison did what he did and was killed for it.

EVIDENCE 1
Negative Effects of Violent Video Games
In studies conducted by neuroscientists, it was found that teens who regularly play violent video games have lower rates of success in school than teens who do not play violent video games. The same parents who ban violent televisions shows from being watched in their homes must also be careful about the types of video games their teens play. Teens love their games, but their future is at stake.
Excerpt from “Family First Magazine”

EVIDENCE 2
Negative Effects of Violent Video Games
Fights among best friends and disagreements with peers are a natural part of a teen’s daily life, but studies have consistently shown that teens who play violent video games on a regular basis are more aggressive with peers than teens who do not play these games. Is society willing to ban these violent games to support teen relationships?
Excerpt from “Adolescent Health Sociology Journal

EVIDENCE 3
Negative Effects of Violent Video Games
A study conducted by teen psychologists found that teens who regularly play violent video games are more prone to having fights and confrontations with adults at home, school and work. Teens want the freedom to play games of their choice, but they need to be aware of the dangers.

we need money for make a crude and bundel of money ok make me a Brin list
Answer:
#1 ANSWER: Money help us achive our life's goals and supports. I wanna buy everything that could help me to be successful so i an earn money and also help others to gain money.
#2 ANSWER: The best part time job for me is being waiter in a restaurant because that job will help me to know more people and their behavior and character. Also i will know that how people are rude or kind to a lower person. another reason is i can earn some money. ( THIS IS MINE OPINION BUT YOU WRITE YOUR OWN)
#3 ANSWER: Beyond the basic needs, money is also an important need of life. It support us to fullfill our needs to make our life and world better. Money is important because its can buy whatever you need but not everything. Money is just a number or a piece of paper that support us to run our daily life. So technically it is important.
#4 ANSWER: Money could buy happinessand it may not. All depends on situation and your way of thinking. for example if you are poor that you haven't money to buy food, and than someone give you money so you can buy food, it becomes your happiness. Also if someone you love is dying and you have enough money but doctor says it impossible to save him/her. That time money become just a number.
So, money could be happiness and it can't be. the answer is it depends on situation. But the true happiness comes from yourself.

in your own words, what is pyramus and thisbe about ?
Answer:
"Pyramus and Thisbe" is about forbidden love.
Explanation:
Pyramus and Thisbe were two young Babylonians who fell in love. However, their families did not see each other with good eyes and did not approve of their romance, forbidding them to see and talk. However, the two lived in neighboring houses and continued to communicate through a wall that separated their houses. The young people were living a forbidden love and it would only be possible to be together if they ran away from their parents. They agreed to flee during the night and were supposed to be near a white moray.
Thisbe was the first to arrive at the place, but was startled by the presence of a lioness with a bloody mouth. In fear, Thisbe ran to hide, but dropped the veil she wore on her head. The lioness saw the veil and tore it, staining it completely with blood.
Pyramus arrived at the scene shortly after, and when he saw the lioness tearing the veil, he thought Thisbe had been devoured by the animal. At that moment, he was extremely sad and full of remorse, picking up his sword and hitting his own heart. Seeing his beloved dead, Thisbe decided that she should die too, using the same sword to end her life.

Answer:
1) C. simile
2) Dangerous Polluted Pleasant
Yes No No
3) C. tornados pose challenges for scientists
4) However, Scientists decided the experiment was as unsafe as a leaky boat and dropped the project.
Explanation:
1) A simile compares two diffrent things and uses words such as "like" or "as".
2) They didn't go on with the experiment because it was too dangerous, which is the opposite of pleasant.
3) A and B can't be because it was dangerous and hard to study it, since TOTO failed and was too dangerous, I don't think they'll be trying teh same thing next time. D is also incorrect because it is dangerous to stand in front of a tornado and not fun. That only leaves C which is what the text describes.
4) They use a simile again using "as" to compare the safety of the experiment to a leaky boat.
What information does the historical account provide that might answer why moctezuma became a prisoner of his own palace
Answer:
B. Moctezuma demanded tributes and victimized his people.
Explanation:
From the passage, we discover that his people resented to his demands for tribute and victims of the religious sacrifices. Such resentment from his people weakened his conquest.
When any people are against their rulers, it is difficult for such ruler to enjoy freedom and exercise his authority. I believe this played out when the people began resenting Moctezuma.
He demanded tributes and victimized the people but that worked against him and made him a prisoner in his own palace.

A poetic form is a type of poem with specific rules for rhryme, rhythm and/or subject matter. Two poetic forms are haikus and sonnets.
A haiku is a traditional Japanese poetic form. It consists of three unrhymed lines with specific syllable counts: five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second and five in the third. Haikus are often about nature and the seasons.
A sonnet is a 14-line poem with a set rhyme scheme and a particular syllable pattern called iambic pentarneter. Different types of sonnets have different rhyme schemes. An English, or Shakespearean, sonnet usually follows the rhyme scheme of: ABABCDCDEFEFGG. The final two lines, a couplet, summarize the main idea of the poem.
According to the passage, one of the differences between haikus and sonnets is
A the number of adjectives used in the poems.
B the number of lines in the poems.
C the type of writer who composes the poems.
D the types of verbs used in the poems.
Answer:
B. (For Flocabulary)
Explanation:
The passage states that a haiku is a poem with three lines, while a sonnet is a poem with 14 lines.

Churchill firmly states the policy and his new administration. What other purposes might have been on Churchill’s mind when he drafted his speech? Use evidence to support your answer
Answer:
Two other possible purposes for the speech are:
1. Churchill wanted to warn both politicians and the population about how quickly this new administration would have to move and plan.
2. Churchill wanted to prepare people's heart for the war while, at the same time, giving them hope for victory.
Explanation:
In his speech "Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat," Prime Minister Winston Churchill announces the His Majesty the king asked him to form a new administration. However, that is not the only purpose of the speech. Churchill asks people, especially politicians, to be understanding when it comes to the lack of ceremony with which the changes in government are being done. The situation is grave, and it demands speedy action:
"I hope that any of my friends and colleagues, or former colleagues, who are affected by the political reconstruction, will make allowance, all allowance, for any lack of ceremony with which it has been necessary to act."
Churchill then moves on to speak of the war. He does not try to sugarcoat it. It will be brutal. However, he states that it is the nation's purpose to win, and that they will not stop until victory is gained:
"We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. . . . You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror . . ."
