Imagine that your family moves into a new neighborhood where you do not feel welcome & your neighbors want you to leave & are very unkind to you & your family. Do you put up with it or move out? Why?

Answers

Answer:

I would move out.

Explanation:

I would move out because I'd wanna live somewhere that has positive energy. I don't wanna live somewhere where my neighbors make me feel like I should just leave. If I'm gonna live somewhere, I'm gonna live there for the people and the environment. Moving out is better than living there for years having to put up with rude neighbors.

Read the excerpt from the story Penguin Parade: An Antarctic Adventure:

We boarded a flight from Orlando, Florida to Buenos Aires in Argentina. We would board a ship that would take us from Argentina to the remote Snow Hill Island in the Weddell Sea. Mom slept for the whole plane ride, but I stayed awake and researched penguins that live in Antarctica on my phone. I didn't realize how many penguins didn't live in cold areas like Antarctica. Apparently, I wasn't the only one on the plane interested in reading about animals. The boy sitting across the aisle from me was reading a book about sharks, which was pretty neat.

"Hey," I whispered to the boy so I wouldn't wake up my mom. "Where are you heading?" He said nothing at first and gave me a funny look.

"Argentina, obviously," he said sarcastically as he turned the page in his book. I felt a bit awkward and glanced back at my phone. He didn't seem very friendly. After a while, he closed his book and turned towards me.

"Hey, I'm Steven. What's your name?" he asked. He smiled at me. "Sorry. I can be weird around new people."

"I'm Sally. We're heading to Argentina, too, but only so that we can get on a ship to Antarctica, we are going to see the emperor penguins and their chicks."

What does the reader learn about the trip to Antarctica, since it is told from Sally's point of view? (2 points)
Sally has always wanted to travel to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Sally and her mom are going to see emperor penguins and their chicks.
Sally and her mom are going to see sharks, which is neat.
Sally and Steven both enjoy reading about animals.

who fed junior his bottles when he was a baby in salvage the bones​

Answers

Answer:

As the storm calms itself, the family cowers in the torn-open attic of Papa Joseph and Mama Lizbeth’s house. Skeetah is wracked with guilt over losing track of China and promises to look for her once the water level lowers to halfway up the tires on Daddy’s tractor. Esch comforts him by squeezing him as hard as she has embraced the boys she’s had sex with, trying to keep him in one piece. She notices the entire family is bloodied from the broken glass and debris flying about.

Once the water level is low enough, Skeetah jumps in and begins to look for China, convinced she’s waiting for him. Esch watches him until he disappears behind a fallen tree.

Later, the family follows suit and revisits their house, searching for food like they had searched for eggs in the yard days earlier. They find canned peas and packages of ramen. Randall decides the family will stay with Big Henry, and they head towards town.

The houses of Bois Sauvage are in varying states of destruction, and the townspeople gather in the street, each one muttering something about being alive. Big Henry’s house has miraculously been spared, the trees having fallen in a fence around the building. Marquise and Big Henry greet Esch and her family; they were just about to come looking for them. Big Henry plays with a machete they were bringing in case they had to “cut through” to find them (242).

Suddenly, Esch spots Manny, who sits in the bed of a pickup truck with Shaliyah. Randall asks Esch if Manny is the father of her child, and she nods. Randall promises to beat up Manny, but Esch replies that she already did. Randall and Junior, who rides piggyback on Randall, comfort Esch as they take shelter in Big Henry’s house.

Big Henry’s mother, Ms. Bernadine, tends to Daddy’s hand. Marquise takes his dog to look for Skeetah, who refuses to leave the Pit with him. That night, the family—minus Skeetah—sleeps soundly.

In the morning, Esch is eavesdropping on Big Henry’s uncle, Solly, who tells Ms. Bernadine about the terrible damage near the bayou, when Daddy asks Esch if she’s really pregnant. She nods. Daddy apologizes for pushing her and says they’ll have to see a doctor to make sure the baby is healthy. Esch daydreams about the past and the future, envisioning her mother on the couch aside Daddy and picturing Junior feeding the baby. She decides to name the baby after her mother if it is a girl, and after Skeetah if it is a boy.

Big Henry invites the kids to drive with him to St. Catherine to inspect the damage. When they arrive, they can barely comprehend the scene. Hardly any trees or buildings stand; the elementary school where Randall played basketball and Skeetah fought Rico is leveled. People take shelter under makeshift tents and forage for food and supplies in the wreckage. A toothy woman warns them not to drive any further towards the beach, and then she asks them for food. Esch gives her some ramen, and the woman laughs.

The kids pull over, park, and begin walking. Esch sees a man holding his head and perhaps crying. He is sitting on a sofa next to a black casket, which a dog sniffs at and even urinates on. Still walking, the kids find what remains of the liquor store and happen upon some untouched liquor bottles, which they take for Daddy.

Big Henry squats next to Esch and tells her he heard her talking to Daddy about being pregnant. He asks her who the father is, to which she replies, “It don’t have a daddy” (254). He says she’s wrong, because the baby has many fathers, including him. He reassures her that she can rely on him. This touches Esch, who is gathering pieces of glass that will serve as souvenirs when she tells her baby about Hurricane Katrina. She imagines hanging them above her bed and telling the baby a mythologized story about the storm, a mother who slaughtered and destroyed the Gulf.

After bathing with a glass of water each and eating for the first time since the storm, Esch, Randall, Junior, and Big Henry return to the Pit to see Skeetah. He has built a fire that burns tall and is still waiting for China. He refuses to leave in case she returns, despite the others’ protests.

Esch knows that she and her siblings will stay by his side, waiting for China. She knows that China will return, and she pictures Skeetah crying when she comes, melting away to nothing. Esch knows that China will see her and understand that she has fought and protected—that she herself is a mother now.

Do you need to make a major change in the world to leave a legacy ? 7 sentences pleaseee

Answers

Answer:

No, a major change is not the only requirement to leave one's legacy.

Explanation:

Leaving a legacy means leaving some good and important qualities and ways of life to the next generation. In some ways, it also means leaving some inheritance such as money or assets but it implies more to the good qualities that one influences.

Leaving a legacy doesn't necessarily require a person to have a huge impact and change on others. Some will indeed leave a lasting influence and change while most just did what they love and that became influential for others. The most important thing is to do what one loves, sincerely and with love and care. And then, whether that gesture leaves a change on others or not depends on the people's perception and receiving attitude.

So, in my opinion, it is not necessarily required to make a major change to leave a legacy.

The United States was founded on dreams people had of shaping the society in which they lived. What were some of those dreams?

Answers

Answer:

Our Founding Fathers' vision sought to ensure that everyone has equal opportunity to pursue their vision of happiness. It also promotes faith in private free enterprise as a way to pursue that happiness. All people have an equal and inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of their happiness.

Explanation:

Some of those dreams of United States are Individual rights, freedom, democracy, and equality .

What are the three fundamental concepts of the American dream?

The Oxford English Dictionary defines the American dream as "the ideal that every citizen of the United States should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative." Individual rights, freedom, democracy, and equality are all part of the American dream.

Individual rights, freedom, democracy, and equality - which include notions of individual rights, freedom, democracy, and equality - are arguably centered on the belief that each individual has the right and freedom to seek prosperity and happiness, regardless of where or under what circumstances they were born.

The original "American Dream" was a dream of equality, justice, and democracy for the nation, not of individual wealth. Each generation repurposed the phrase until the Cold War, when it became an argument for a consumer capitalist version of democracy.

Answer:

After Mr. Jones, the owner of Manor Farm, falls asleep in a drunken stupor, all of his animals meet in the big barn at the request of old Major, a 12-year-old pig. Major delivers a rousing political speech about the evils inflicted upon them by their human keepers and their need to rebel against the tyranny of Man. After elaborating on the various ways that Man has exploited and harmed the animals, Major mentions a strange dream of his in which he saw a vision of the earth without humans. He then teaches the animals a song — "Beasts of England" — which they sing repeatedly until they awaken Jones, who fires his gun from his bedroom window, thinking there is a fox in the yard. Frightened by the shot, the animals disperse and go to sleep.
