The Emancipation Proclamation, excerpt

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. A PROCLAMATION.

I, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of the United States of America, and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy thereof, do hereby proclaim and declare that hereafter, as heretofore, the war will be prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the constitutional relation between the United States, and each of the States, and the people thereof, in which States that relation is, or may be, suspended or disturbed.

That it is my purpose, upon the next meeting of Congress to again recommend the adoption of a practical measure tendering pecuniary aid to the free acceptance or rejection of all slave States, so called, the people whereof may not then be in rebellion against the United States and which States may then have voluntarily adopted, or thereafter may voluntarily adopt, immediate or gradual abolishment of slavery within their respective limits; and that the effort to colonize persons of African descent, with their consent, upon this continent, or elsewhere, with the previously obtained consent of the Governments existing there, will be continued.

That on the first day of January in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; and the executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom.

That the executive will, on the first day of January aforesaid, by proclamation, designate the States, and part of States, if any, in which the people thereof respectively, shall then be in rebellion against the United States; and the fact that any State, or the people thereof shall, on that day be, in good faith represented in the Congress of the United States, by members chosen thereto, at elections wherein a majority of the qualified voters of such State shall have participated, shall, in the absence of strong countervailing testimony, be deemed conclusive evidence that such State and the people thereof, are not then in rebellion against the United States.

That attention is hereby called to an Act of Congress entitled "An Act to make an additional Article of War" approved March 13, 1862, and which act is in the words and figure following:

''Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That hereafter the following shall be promulgated as an additional article of war for the government of the army of the United States, and shall be obeyed and observed as such:

Article —. All officers or persons in the military or naval service of the United States are prohibited from employing any of the forces under their respective commands for the purpose of returning fugitives from service or labor, who may have escaped from any persons to whom such service or labor is claimed to be due, and any officer who shall be found guilty by a court-martial of violating this article shall be dismissed from the service.

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That this act shall take effect from and after its passage."

Which statement in the excerpt supports the idea that the author is building a slippery slope argument?

adapted from Away with Standardized Testing!
Standardized testing is a billion dollar industry. The companies that create these tests charge school districts and institutions millions of dollars to create and administer them. Let us not even forget the millions of dollars they make selling study guide materials for college entrance exams. Some school districts provide waivers so that students do not have to pay to take these exams. However, some students do not have that luxury and must pay for every attempt at the test until they get a desirable score. Districts are refunded when errors on these tests are discovered or when systems crash. Each year, school district funds are being reduced by states. Surely money poured into testing can be used to support other needs, such as higher teacher salaries, better school lunches, more classroom libraries, and infrastructure repairs.

Sure, supporters of this dream-killing, money-sucking machine believe that standardized tests push educators to cover more content and skills and that stricter, more-aligned standardized tests ensure that students are college ready. But do these supporters stop to think about the emotional impact of standardized testing on student engagement and motivation? When students perform poorly test after test after test, not being able to gain acceptance into a college of their dreams or graduate from high school or rank highly, they are more inclined to consider dropping out of school and not pursuing college, and are more likely to tragically suffer from low self-esteem.

Explanation:

Wiesel makes reference to or alludes to what central event? Why does he use fragments to evoke the memory?

Answers

Answer:

1. Wiesel makes reference to the time when his family was deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp and more precisely the moment he and his father discovered the fiery furnace where Jews were thrown into.

2.The story was told in bits and fragments to provide a detailed information of the events that transpired and to reconcile the thoughts he had at that age to what was the reality and how he tried to correct the abnormalities.

Explanation:

In May 1944, Eliezer Wiesel and his family were deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp where he eventually lost his mother and elder sister. He was just 15 at this time. When he and his father saw the fiery flame where people were burned, they strongly believed that the world did not know what was happening. His statements in his Nobel Acceptance speech were made in reference to this boy (his young self).

He used fragments to paint a more vivid picture of the events. Fragmentation helped him to provide detailed information which the reader could connect.

Last week, I was looking after two little girls as a babysitter. The parents liked clowns and had a big collection of them. They even had a special room for their collection.

That night, the children were playing in this room. Many of the clowns were just statues, and some were life-size. The biggest clown sat in a small rocking chair. I started to feel more and more uneasy about this statue. I felt as though the eyes were looking at me all the time. I decided to call the parents. "I'm so sorry to bother you, but may I move this clown in the rocking chair. It's starting to scare the kids and me", I said."What clown are you talking about? I don't remember a big clown in the chair. Are you sure?" the mother asked hurriedly. "Yes, I'm sure, It's sitting right here. I'm looking at it right now", I said."Take the kids and get out of the house, now. Run to our neighbors. Call me immediately when you get there, the mother said. Frightened and confused, I took the kids and ran out. When I and the kids came to the neighbors, I called the mother. "What's wrong? Did anything happen? Are you all okay?" The mother asked. "Yes, we are fine, I said. "But you were in danger. It happened again. Soon we will be there with the police, I'll explain everything when we get there", said the mother.

Later, the parents explained to me that for some time the next door there lived a neighbor who gave them problems. He was mentally ill. He heard voices. Many times he sneaked into their house and tried to kidnap the children. This time, he dressed up in a clown suit, painted his face, and waited quietly until he had the opportunity to take the children away. The parents informed the police many times. But they didn't have any proof. Now, it happened again. They thanked me, paid me, and drove me home.​

B.The doctrine specifically causes feelings of inferiority in minority children. C.The doctrine encourages improvements without supporting the work.D.The doctrine imposes a needless duty on schools to determine if they are “separate but equal” to each other

Answers

Answer: the answer is b

Explanation: trust I passed the test in common lit

In this, Chief Justice Warren claim about the doctrine of “separate but equal” creates inferiority was the doctrine specifically causes feelings of inferiority in minority children. The correct option is (B).

Who is Chief justice Warren?

Warren was the most likely candidate to succeed Chief Justice Fred Vinson when he passed away in September 1953 because of his background in law enforcement.

Warren received Eisenhower's nomination because he shared his political views and was a fellow moderate Republican.

Warren, arguing for the court, declared that "separate educational facilities are intrinsically unequal," rejecting the "separate but equal" principle that had been upheld since Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. The court then urged the desegregation of public schools with "all deliberate speed."

Therefore, in this Chief Justice Warren claim about the doctrine of “separate but equal” creates inferiority was the doctrine specifically causes feelings of inferiority in minority children.

Explain the deeper meaning of this quote “May the flowers remind us why the rain was necessary”

Answers

Here we go, deep musings with the strange nacho person :)

There's a few slightly different interpretations of this quote.

The flowers can symbolize success, satisfaction, or gain.

In the case of success or gain, the rain is a metaphor for struggles or obstacles. The struggles in your life teach you and make you stronger. Once you reach the point you've worked to find, you can look back and see what the problems in your way have taught you and how they've helped you get where you are now. You can use them again to go further still, knowing your flowers were born from the rain.

Alternatively, you can take this quote in terms of personal satisfaction. Your flowers are symbolic for when you realize what exactly you want and need, be it true friendship, love, or a calling in your life, a dedication you are ready to commit to. You wander through the rain as it waters your flowers and you follow them to where you belong. In this case, the rain is not bad, it's a guide and a teacher, however strict. Your rainstorms cultivate the flowers you were meant to have.

The deeper meaning of the quote is “May the flowers remind us why the rain was necessary” is rain is the reason why flowers and new plants bloom.

What is rain?

Rain is the liquid falling from the sky.

When the vapor in the cloud precipitate, the vapor turns into water and fall into the earth.

Rain is the important form of water on the earth.

Thus, the deeper meaning of the quote is “May the flowers remind us why the rain was necessary” is rain is the reason why flowers and new plants bloom.

When living in this house, Janie learns how to be a less spoiled person and to be out in nature more by working with Logan. There were a lot of crops to farm and endless work. This work helped Janie forget her heartbreak and it gave her time to think. Logan is also a good advice giver, with his own perspective on love, so when Janie talks about acts of love, such as trimming toenails. This is compared to Logan's acts of love such as doing all the farm chores. All in all, living in Logan's house played a big role in Janie's life.

Prepositions Which word is the preposition in this sentence The pirates hid the gold on the island

Answers

Answer:

On

Explanation:

A preposition can be defined as a word that shows or illustrates the relationship between a pronoun or noun and other words in a sentence. Some examples of a preposition used in various literary works in English language are up, below, after, by, against, for, over, at, to, on, etc.

The main purpose of a preposition as a part of speech is to introduce an object (of, upon), indicate a timeframe (from, by, over), show direction (to, across, along), location or place (at, up, after, below, on) and to illustrate the spatial or sequential relationship between two or more things, people, place, etc.

Hence, the preposition in the sentence "The pirates hid the gold on the island" is on. It illustrates the location where the pirates hid the stolen gold, which is an island.
