Memories of a Memory
Have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.

First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."

Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.

Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.

With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.

Which phrase from the text most clearly explains the main idea of the third paragraph?

Group of answer choices:

Answer:

we should not judge people on there personality on there face and many more if we are at there place we will understand

Everyone has heard the saying,“Never judge a book by its cover.” Well, that certainly is true when applied to everyday life. Most of us tend to look at one’s external appearance and draw a short conclusion on their character when we first observe them.

Being in school, this always happens. No matter if a person has the sweetest personality, if his or her appearance is not good, people judge them on only that fact. There have been many circumstances I have run into when someone is judging another person. In third grade there was this girl named Candi.She was the sweetest girl in my class, but because she had red hair she got made fun of by other students. We all sat in alphabetical order so the teacher could learn our names. It happened to be I was the girl sitting next to her. I always felt bad for her and tried being her friend, but she always thought I was just being sarcastic and did not really want to be her friend. I tried many times walking up to her and start a conversation, but she never wanted to talk back. I also tried playing with her at recess, but she just stood there not saying anything. As years went on, the same thing always happened. New people would be in her class, and she still always got made fun of. Finally, she was sick of it and ran out of the class crying and never came back. The next few weeks went on and still she did not appear in class. Our teacher told us she was going to be home taught. Everyone realized that because of their attitude towards her she was never going to go to school and have the experience that they had. This made everyone think twice about saying something to someone before knowing their personality.

People are judged on many factors, their outer appearance, their color, their religion, and their viewpoints. When we look at these factors and judge a person solely on them we can affect future generations. These prejudices can be passed on to our children with many harmful effects. Children often adapt the beliefs of those around them. So it is important to us, as adults, to be careful about what we say or do in front of children. Being judgmental has many negative effects. If we judge the beliefs of family, friends, and neighbors without really getting to know them, we are being unfair. We must develop our own set of standards, to reject negative and unfair influences around us, and to avoid making assumptions.

Beautiful people have their own share of problems. They are not prefect. Average people often shy away from skinny, beautiful people because they think they could never be friends with them. Women especially have to live up to certain standards of beauty in order to fit in with the rest of the society. When I pick up a magazine, every woman I see has a model look body. They usually have on the best looking cloths and the best looking guy along with her. When reading the magazines and watching movies, this could create poor self esteem. Everyone needs to realize anyone can accomplish great things. No one has to have a good appearance to accomplish things in life. The only thing to learn from this is to recognize what is inside when judging others unfairly. People should try to be nice to everyone and watch their reactions to others.I believe the real issue is people need to learn more about caring for themselves. People cannot let any one put limitations on them or let anyone define them like Candi did. They need to define themselves. If someone thinks something about someone else that is not true, do not believe them. Do not allow them to make a person upset about something false. Also give that “out of the ordinary” person a chance. Beauty goes deeper than just what is on the outer surface. If people do not try to give their peers a chance they are limiting themselves and lessening their chance to making new friends, which could make their life more fun and interesting. Just think how it would be not having any friends. Only external appearance can not make a person. A person with a bad appearance can be a great person. All people are born equal regardless of our outer appearance. Which means all people should create a positive judgment when judging the external and internal features of a person accurately.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not attach the text, the excerpt, or other references.

However, we can help you to answer in the following general terms.

The Peasants' Revolt was organized in England in 1381. Also known as the Wat Tyler's Rebellion, this conflict started because people rejected the poll tax of that year, which impacted more in people's poverty.

Merchants and artisans joined the rebellion to support English farmers.

The revolts started in the town of Essex and caught the monarchy of King Richard II off-guard.

However, less than a month after having initiated the first revolts, loyal soldiers to King Richard II captured and killed Wat Tyler.

Dear __(name),

How are you? Hope you are doing great. Here, all are going well and great. I think it's a long time since we met. Hope to see you soon. What about your studies? You passed out all or something else? ;p. But, i know you passed with flying colours. I have heard you have 3rd rank for boards in your school. Congrats!

I Hope I have told you about my best friend, __* little bit. Now, i am writing this letter to let you know more about him.

Friendship is most auspicious relation in the world. Friends stands by you no matter how harder the situation is. They fight for you, fight with you. They involved you, care for you and all these are not enough to describe a friend. Especially __*

It is that relation which makes your birth meaningful. In mah case, i am always blessed because my birth was made meaningful by him. He made me laugh even in the darkest of times. Even when I was going to fade, he give me my light. He is my mirror, who point out my flaws, correct it and appreciate my achievements.

The most ever thing he does with me is not loving. He just keep fighting with me even when there is no reason. But, i know, he loves me more than anybody else and me too. You and even me, don't have any idea of how much he fights with me, even for the silliest of reasons. He even fights with me for me, sitting simply.

He is the most beautiful person I have ever met with, i will meet. His beauty is not the thing for which I made him my friend, but it is some little things which make him even more beautiful apart from looks (he is my ranbir kapoor ;p). He is not person who get higher marks, but, he is, altogether, admirable. All have a crush for him because of his beauty and voice, but i want to be his friend forever, not for his looks, not for his voice, but only because he is perfect for me.

The perfect person i have ever met with (even more than zayn xD), is him. It doesn't mean he is a perfect boy, but it means, he is perfect for me, my world. He understands me better than any other one, I think, even more than my mother. I think he does the work of a metal detector, as he correctly detects my sadness, even if I act so nicely. He is that friend who gave me relief all the time.

I think he is the greatest inspiration for me to live. My heart is broken by many, but he is the one, who repairs it all with his love and care. He, is and always be my best friend, who stands with me, even though how harder it hits on me!

'Making a million friends isn't a wonder, But making one friend, who stands by you, even when millions are against you is indeed a wonder' I think I have created a wonder.

About him, it will not end in this peace of paper, it is spread through my heart long..long..long. I long that he never leave me (he will not leave)

I hope you liked my wonderful personality, my life and my lifest life. He is the ultimate reason for me to remain in this earth with pleasure.

Hope to see you soon

Sincerely,

your name.

[ * your friend's name]

Answer:

American history abounds with great orators whose eloquence roused the people and shaped events. Names like Patrick Henry, Daniel Webster, William Lloyd Garrison, Abraham Lincoln, William Jennings Bryan, Susan B. Anthony, and Martin Luther King come to mind.

The best of them spoke with passion because their words gushed forth from wellsprings of character or experience or righteous indignation—and in the case of the great 19th-century American abolitionist Frederick Douglass, all three. He could pierce the conscience of the most stubborn foe by what he said and how he said it.

In a 1997 article for FEE, “Frederick Douglass: Heroic Orator for Liberty”, historian Jim Powell cites this description of Douglass by a first-hand observer:

He was more than six feet in height, and his majestic form, as he rose to speak, straight as an arrow, muscular, yet lithe and graceful, his flashing eye, and more than all, his voice, that rivaled Webster’s in its richness, and in the depth and sonorousness of its cadences, made up such an ideal of an orator as the listeners never forgot.

It’s worth our time to reflect on the life and words of this great man born 200 years ago this year. His story is all the more remarkable considering the circumstances of his birth and early life.

Douglass was born a slave in Maryland in 1818. He never knew who his father was and his mother died when he was seven. He spoke in later life about how hard it was on him to be forbidden to see her when she was ill, to be with her when she died, or to attend her funeral.

Answer and Explanation:

The stories that are easiest to believe are the ones that seem more rational and normal to happen, in addition to showing evidence that they are true and to be told by a reliable person. On the other hand, the stories most difficult to believe are those that seem very unrealistic and irrational, with little evidence and are told by someone who is not trustworthy.

The main difference between the stories I can trust without question and those that make me suspicious is the amount of evidence presented, as the evidence is essential to promote the story's veracity.

                                                                                               Aba.

                                                                                               February 23, 2021.

Dear Chintua,

        I am so happy to inform you that I was installed as a chief and paramount ruler in my hometown last week. By this installation, I have ascended to the throne of my father. I have now been conferred with the title of "Imebuenyi XXIV" of Ogbor clan.

      I am aware that this great elevation comes with a myriad of responsibilities. The most important among them is the pursuit of development in Ogbor clan.

      During the days of my father, plans were underway to initiate an electrification project across all areas of Ogbor clan. This project was truncated by the transfer of the former operations manager of the Aba branch of the Enugu Electricity Company. I have now been informed that the new operations manager of the branch have now fully assumed duties. I will follow up on this project and ensure that every part of Ogbor clan is connected to the national grid.

   Secondly, I am happy to inform you that the state government have now commenced the construction of the Ogbor-Umuahia-Aba road. This road links Ogbor clan to other bustling areas of the state. This implies that investors can now be able to access Ogbor clan more easily. Here in Ogbor, there is abundant land mass that can be utilized for industrialization and consequently, job creation. In view of this, I have requested to have a meeting with the chairman of the State Council on Trade and Investment in order to fashion out ways of attracting investors to Ogbor clan after the construction of the Ogbor-Umuahia-Aba road.

  I believe that my reign will move Ogbor people to the promised land because of my desire to embark on numerous developmental projects for the benefit of the people.

 I hope to see you soon in my palace.

                                                                                           Yours Sincerely,

Explanation:

The ending that would be most ironic is The cash was in Victor's pocket the whole time, but he loses it while he is fighting Gil. The correct option is C.

Irony is a literary technique that involves surprising, interesting, or amusing contradictions or contrasts.

Irony is often used to create a sense of humor or tension in a story. In literature, irony can take many forms, such as dramatic irony, situational irony, and verbal irony.

Situational irony occurs when the opposite of what is expected happens. For example, if a fire station burns down, that is situational irony.

The irony lies in the fact that Victor was so obsessed with getting his money back from Gil that he was willing to fight him, but he had the money all along and ends up losing it during the fight.

This outcome is unexpected and contrary to what the reader or audience would have anticipated.

Thus, the correct option is C.
