Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

These poets had major influence on the writings of Hughes in a manner of using the medium of poem for convey a message or share opinion.

Explanation:

Langston Hughes was born in Joplin, Missouri, on 1st Februray 1901. Hughes was an American poet, activist, novelist, and so on. He had major influence in his writings of other prominent poets such as Walt Whitman, Carl Sandburg, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and Claude McKay.

These poets used the medium of poetry to convey their opinion or expose any social vices prevalent in their society. For instance, Walt Whitman in his poem titled 'Song of Myself' wrote about human vices and his selfishness and self-centeredness.

Similarly, Hughes wrote the poems to speak about social vices. In his poem 'Dream Deferred' he wrote about the life of people when dream is denied to them.

why is hard to change somebody's mind or yours?​

Answers

Because people believe what they heard first or growing up, people have a set idea of something and people are stubborn.

Answer:

Normally when someone has decided that their mind has been made up. It is very difficult to change it. Our minds have been trained to keep an idea and not let go. Our minds tend to refuse most facts. So instead of having, lets say and opinion, that is based off of facts it is made up of emotions and how that 'opinion' makes you feel. The chemicals in your brain makes it hard to let go of an idea or opinion.

Answers

Answer:

An expert reference is when someone consults or takes information from an expert in a particular field of study.

Explanation:

An expert is someone who specializes in the skill of a particular field. The possession of a special skill that is not found in everyone makes him/ her an expert of that field.

A reference is the use of information from a source to make one's point or support one's arguments and claims. This referencing allows the validation of the work and its claims.

An expert reference, therefore, is a source of information or the use of information from an expert for any work or academic paper. An expert reference is when one consults the help of an expert for any work, thereby providing a sense of credibility to that particular work.

Freewriting and looping is part of the:


prewriting stage of the Writing Process.


drafting stage of the Writing Process.


revising stage of the Writing Process.


editing stage of the Writing Process.

Answers

The correct answer is A. Prewriting stage of the writing process

Explanation:

The prewriting stage is the first stage in writing that involves generating ideas for writing, selecting the topic and main idea, and organizing the content of a text. This stage includes multiple strategies such as brainstorming, outlining, prewriting, and looping.

In the freewriting strategy, the writer lets his/her thoughts flow naturally to generate ideas about a topic by writing for a specific time without stopping or focusing on grammar, order, or connections, which is useful to have fresh ideas before writing the text. Similarly, in looping the writer writes freely but he/she focuses on a specific idea, which is selected from the text he/she wrote using the freewriting strategy. This means both strategies help writers to generate ideas before writing and therefore they belong to the prewriting stage.

start in the parenthesies and break it down from there,

(11d+3z+8)

so start with 11d, with d=10 that would be 110, next with 3z, that would be 36 and you would leave the eight as it is. Adding the three numbers together you get 154.

so now you have 11(154)

Explanation:

Read the following excerpt. Sarah looked at her brother again, waiting for some sort of response. Surely, he had not resigned himself to this situation. Surely, he did not intend to sit in their little apartment and wait for the Germans to come and get them. She had arranged for a hiding spot with one of her friends. She would harbor them in the attic of her grandfather’s farmhouse as long as needed. The place was dilapidated but isolated and did not draw many visitors or attention. Sarah knew with all of her heart that going there was a better option for them. Rumors had been circulating for weeks. Jews were not being taken away to work. The long trains pulling out of the stations were going to Polish death camps. Whoever got into the cattle cars was never coming back. “Alright,” he whispered. His voice was small but resolute. “We will leave on Sunday morning. We will take the train to Emmen and then walk the rest of the way. If anyone stops us, we can make believe that we are out for a weekend retreat in the countryside. Choose the question that would be most effective at encouraging a good discussion.
