Dear Uncle,

I am sorry that I could not write to you earlier. I was so busy here in my studies because the annual examination is at hand.

The Inspector of Schools paid a surprise visit to our school today, as we were later told that somebody had complained against our school. Therefore he reached our school at 9 A.M. sharp, perhaps to see for himself whether the school starts its work in time. Before he arrived, the entire school was as if ready to receive him. He visited every classroom, office, laboratory and the library. Everywhere he found things in order and everything was neat and clean.

He entered many classrooms and saw teachers taking classes. He examined us in English and we did well. He was very much pleased with my pronunciation.

He was accompanied by the Deputy Inspector of Schools and two other officials. These officials visited other classes and examined boys in the various subjects.

In the context of the text, how has America changed over time? How does the text exploreways in which America has changed since the abolition of slavery? How did theaccomplishments of the Harlem Renaissance allow future change to take place?

Answers

Hello. You did not inform the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible to answer it exactly, but I will try to help you in the best possible way.

Over time, America has managed to structure itself better politically and to be more comprehensive in relation to the rights and duties of all citizens. Although there is still a long way to go before we can call America fair, we can confirm that the country is evolving in justice and politics.

Since slavery, blacks have tried to modify America so that it presents itself as an egalitarian country that respects and considers the black population as true citizens with the same rights and duties as any other. The revival helped that the changes that blacks needed were requested with greater security. This is because the Harlem Renaissance has enabled blacks to become more aware of their culture, beauty, ability and rights.

Rody knows that if he drinks liquor, he will drink to excess, and will use profane language, which will scandalize those that hear it. He declares, and truly enough, that he hates intemperance, and that he fears the evils of profanity and scandal. Nevertheless, he drinks liquor, and the expected result happens.

Evaluate Rody’s responsibility of his acts.

Answers

Answer:

Rody is responsible for his acts.

Explanation:

Rody is responsible for his acts. He knows the consequences of drinking, but he does it anyway. He might do it due to a lack of self-control or because he considers that the benefits are more than the consequences. We can see that he is capable of thinking, making decisions, and aware of the outcomes that it could bring, so the responsibility of making the right decisions like drinking another beverage or not drinking at all are on him.

In this case, as he decides to drink liquor, which leads to drinking it in excess and misbehave, we can see that he was not responsible for his decisions.
