Please help I suck at English
Read the passage and answer the question.
[1]Nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of the
tree yuccas.Tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in that
triangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the Sierras and coastwise hills. The
yucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old
[5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. After its death, which is
slow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes even
the moonlight fearful. But it isn't always this way. Before the yucca has come to flower, while
yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full of
sugary sap, the Indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their
[10] own delectation.
Why does the author use the words "bayonet-pointed" (line 4) and "fence of daggers" (line 9) to describe the leaves of the yucca tree?
To create an image of the sharp edges of the plant
To emphasize how beautiful the plant's leaves are
To explain when and where the plant grows
To show how afraid the author is of the plant
Answer:
to create an image of the sharp edges of the plant

In the great moonlight clearings I slunk along
among the shadows on the margin. In the
jungle I crept forward, stopping with a
beating heart whenever I heard, as I often
did, the crash of breaking branches as some
wild beast went past. Now and then great
shadows loomed up for an instant and were
gone-great, silent shadows which seemed to
prowl upon padded feet.
Why would the author put these details at the
beginning of the story?

Importance of Female
Women are the primary caretakers of children and elders in every country of the world. International studies demonstrate that when the economy and political organization of a society change, women take the lead in helping the family adjust to new realities and challenges
Explanation:
Answer:
See explanation for answer.
Explanation:
Femisism, what is it? It is the importance of female rights and privileges for females the same as a mans. Why the world used to feel or still feels that men are greater than women is unknown. I believe that this statement is a lie. There is nothing a man can do that a women can't. For some examples, both men and women are strong, both men and women are intelligent, both men and women are hard-working. We deserve the same pay as a man gets. If a woman does something wrong a man can make the same mistake. Women go through childbirth, periods, and many stereotypes. Women endure much harder things than men have to deal with and it astonishes me that women are still treated unequally to men.
Childbirth is by far one of the most painful things most women endure. Many men are unsympathetic towards it and act like it's no big deal. Men may look strong but are weak. Women are strong inside and out.
Periods, monthly torture for most of the women around the world. Month-to- month pain that lasts for a week. Yet, women pull themselves together and move on with their lives, because we are strong people.
The world has so many stereotypes towards women. Stereotypes like women can't have body hair, you have to be a certain weight to be pretty, put on makeup so you look pretty, dress revealing, etc... Why should we have to give into these stereotypes? Women are stronger than these foolish society guidelines. Tell me, what stereotypes do men have? Almost nothing, that's what they have.
In summary, females are important. We are what makes the world go round. We are stronger than you think. We are the past and the future and we deserve just as much as a man does.
This is not finished but I hope it helps!

3. Is racial discrimination "normal" in America explain?
Answer:
This is a little opinionated, but I think it is not a normal thing, but people definitely normalize it. It happens every single day and it is so sad to see.
Explanation:
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Because America is so diverse you can never really guarantee that something is going to be 100% in one area of the country. For example, America's school system is very odd compared to a lot of other countries considering that 2 schools can be COMPLETELY different even though they are in the same country, state, and district. Back to the question, major cities like NewYork, Dallas, or LA attract people that from different parts of the world, and because of that high population of people that usually have a similar mindset (statistically larger cities vote democratic) meaning that they are more likely to be open to new things especially equality. On the other hand, there are small towns with little population that attract republicans that lean towards extreme racism and conservative mindsets and those towns are considered sundown towns where POC (People Of Color) are not allowed after the sun is down or they will most likely be killed. Now that we got that out of the way the reason why racial discrimination is "normal" in America is because of the subtle things that a lot of people don't normally notice that are caused because of racism. A few examples of that is how African Americans have a huge poverty rate due to never recovering from slavery since it was difficult for them to find jobs because of racist white people. Another example is how some schools do not allow do-rags that cover hair to prevent it from messing up. Some schools even have rules where you can't have certain hairstyles like locs or afros since they are considered "unkempt". Even though there are some things that go on like that in some areas one big thing that is taught to young POC is to be extremely careful around law enforcement as they are known to be racist and potentially hurt your or racially profile you. One last thing is that sometimes you can apply for a job but get denied just because you are POC but you might never know because they don't specifically state that.
So yes, racial discrimination is quite normal and it interferes with daily life for POC.

Good gentle youth, tempt not a desperate man;
Fly hence, and leave me: think upon these gone;
Let them affright thee. I beseech thee, youth,
Put not another sin upon my head,
By urging me to fury: O, be gone!
By heaven, I love thee better than myself;
For I come hither arm'd against myself:
Stay not, be gone; live, and hereafter say,
A madman's mercy bade thee run away.
