Read this paragraph from I Never Had It Made.
Branch Rickey lost that fight, but when he became the boss of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1943, he felt the time for equality in baseball had come. He knew that achieving it would be terribly difficult. There would be deep resentment, determined opposition, and perhaps even racial violence. He was convinced he was morally right, and he shrewdly sensed that making the game a truly national one would have healthy financial results. He took his case before the startled directors of the club, and using persuasive eloquence, he won the first battle in what would be a long and bitter campaign. He was voted permission to make the Brooklyn club the pioneer in bringing blacks into baseball.

What is the author’s purpose for including this paragraph?

to inform readers about Branch Rickey’s professional career
to inform readers about Branch Rickey’s determination

Answers

Here is a letter sent by a mother of a soldier.

Dear Soldier,

It's hard to thank someone for giving me the freedom to live the life God has so graciously given to me.

Thank you for everything you do daily to protect this country, and for that I am forever grateful. You have given up so much for this country, and I personally believe that is something that cannot be repaid. Most soldiers I know believe having a free country is payment enough. I think that's what makes you all so great, you give so much and do not expect anything back. I recognize the selflessness you've demonstrated with your willingness to serve our country.

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. It is no secret that your training, or any part to being a soldier is easy. I always knew it was a lot of work, but I never realized how much it really was until my my son joined the US Army.

Thank you for your bravery, strength, hard work, commitment, dedication and willingness to do the hard things that are required of you day in and day out. You've given up everything to fight for US, that is something I don't take lightly. So, thank you for everything that you do.

God Bless you & may God Bless America,

A PROUD mother of a US Solider

Brian is frustrated—he knows he needs fire—until he sees the golden light of the sun against his hatchet. Gold like fire. He realizes that he can make fire with the hatchet and stone. i'm not sure if this is right though

Explanation:

Answer: Chapter 8 of Hatchet is a hard swing for Brian emotionally. He hits his lowest point but has his biggest triumph, too. Before we look at what happens in Chapter 8 of Hatchet, let's look at where Brian's been.

Brian Robeson is still stranded in the wilderness after the plane carrying him to visit his father crashed. All he has with him is the hatchet, a small ax with a wooden handle, his mother gave him before he left. So far he's found food in the form of raspberries, faced down a bear (rather, ran from it), and built a shelter into a rocky overhang. It's his fourth night in the wilderness, and Brian is starting to feel okay about his chance .

Provide at least two reasons explaining how these strategies would help you to write your paper.

Answers

Answer:

What I use is simply just a ladder, which is rarely used but I find it helpful and on top of that unique. I write the basics starting from top to bottom. After this, I render it but with writing, fix up a few things about it until I'm satisfied, and boom! Rendering but with writing haha. This helps me a lot as I not only feel like I'd succeed with this cool strategy, I also feel as if it's just easier for me to understand since I don't need to do much with it and I don't waste too much time being everywhere looking for something.

Answer:

What I could do is use a venn diagram, and this is because it helps with BOTH comparing and contrasting. Firstly, I would fill in things I already know. Another thing I could do is ask some questions. I would answer these questions, and then input the information into the venn diagram based on what I find. While doing this, I would make sure to include any sources I use just in case, so that way, I can make sure to not be blamed for anything. After this, I would just put what I wrote into complete sentences, if not already complete, and make sure it is formal AND intriguing/interesting.

Hope this helped! Probably didn't though :(

What does the conflict in this passage suggest about the character of
Hadria?
The villagers had asked the traveling sorceress, Hadria, to protect
them from goblins. Goblins. That meant crawling around in caves.
"Don't you have anything more serious?" she asked the villagers.
"But they've been stealing our potatoes," the leader said. "That's
important to us!"
Later, Hadria did indeed find herself crawling through a cave, but when
she turned a corner, she found a much bigger threat than goblins: A

Discuss the decision people made to be a Loyalist or a Patriot using social, political, and economic reasons.

Answers

Loyalists wanted to pursue peaceful forms of protest because they believed that violence would give rise to mob rule or tyranny. They also believed that independence would mean the loss of economic benefits derived from membership in the British mercantile system. Loyalists came from all walks of life.

The choice of whether to support the American Revolution as a Loyalist or a Patriot was impacted by a number of social, political, and economic factors. Socially, Loyalists typically had stronger links to Britain and were wealthier people.

They frequently belonged to the elite or were affiliated with the Anglican Church. Loyalists considered themselves devoted subjects of the British Crown and supported the preservation of the current social structure. Patriots, on the other hand, included artists, small farmers, and laborers from a wider range of social backgrounds.

They fought for the rights of all Americans and aimed to achieve greater social and political equality. Politically, Loyalists supported a powerful central government and valued British control. They worried that leaving Britain would cause chaos and mean they would lose their privileges.

Patriots, however, supported self-government and detested the harsh nature of British rule. They argued in favor of independence and the founding of republican democracy. Economically speaking, Loyalists were closely connected to British trade and industry.

Since they profited from the British mercantile system, they were concerned that independence would jeopardize their financial goals. On the other hand, patriots favored free trade and international business and aimed for economic independence.

In conclusion, social, political, and economic circumstances throughout the American Revolution affected people's decisions about whether to be Loyalists or Patriots. Patriots came from a more diversified social background and advocated greater equality, whereas Loyalists tended to be wealthier people with strong links to Britain.

Politically, Patriots advocated independence and self-government while Loyalists supported British control and a powerful central government. Patriots advocated economic independence, whereas Loyalists had close ties to British trade and industry. These elements influenced people's decisions at this pivotal time in American history.
