was becoming too ‘rich' for the kids from the neighborhood and too ‘poor' for the kids at school …thinking way too much in each situation and getting tangled in the contradiction between my two worlds (pp. 53-54)." How did his mother's decision to send him to a prep school affect the narrator?

Answers

Answer 1

Hi. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, through the context of your question, we can assume that you are referring to "The Other Wes Moore" a book that features two boys named Wes Moore who live in violent and socially difficult environments, but who have had completely different fates.

One of the two Wes Moore was completely influenced by the environment in which he lived and ended up becoming involved in crimes and violent activities, being sentenced to life imprisonment. The other Wes, on the other hand, had a completely different life, even working in the White House.

The second Wes had a very successful life, but that only happened because his mother sent him to prep school. This school completely changed Wes' view of who he is and the environment in which he lived. He began to realize that he should be a better person, honor the sacrifices his mother made and be a successful role model for young people in the community. The preparatory school gave him the foundation to go to college, become a good professional, help the community and be a completely different person.

If the value of a human life is inestimable, then which of the following must be true?
Base your answer on the meaning of inestimable.

A. A human life has little value during a time of war.

B. A human life is worth a great deal of money.

С. A human life is always worthy of great respect.

D. A human life has a value greater than can be measured.

Answers

I would say D is the best one of the options, but I don’t think it’s perfectly accurate.

If it has to be considered on the basis of inestimable, the meaning of the life will be like “A human life has a value greater than can be measured.” Hence, Option D is correct.

What is the meaning of the term inestimable?

An inestimable term is a combination of two terms in and estimable The term "estimable" is a term that is used to calculate and denote the amount of a particular contribution, whereas the term "estimable" is a calculation that is related to the great extent.

Immeasurable, innumerable, invaluable, precious, valuable, and many other terms can be used in place of inestimable, and there are very good reasons why anything can be measurable.

From the standpoint of nature, it's a kind of gift from nature, and it falls into the inestimable category because it's impossible to calculate what kind of danger and damage can be caused by any type of storm.

Therefore, Option D is correct.

Read the poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes and respond to the prompt.

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?

like a heavy load.

1. Identify at least TWO examples of figurative language (ex: similes, metaphors, etc.) and explain. *You can do two of the SAME figurative language or pick two different ones.

Answers

Answer: Hi! Please see my reply below for a few answers. (The examples of fig. language are bolded.)

Explanation:

"Harlem" also teems with a series of similes. This is the main kind of figurative language used in the poem. Many examples of similes are used in this poem to compare a dream deferred to rotting, aging, forgotten, or burdensome items. Throughout the poem, a dream "deferred" is compared to a raisin, a festering sore, rotten meat, a syrupy sweet, and a heavy load. The actions linked to these items suggest what might happen to the dream, such as rotting and dying or weighing down the conscience of the people.

Many other examples of figurative language are found throughout the poem, helping to reinforce its unique imagery. The ongoing use of the phrase "Does it" is an example of anaphora. This word describes the repetition of a word or phrase at the start of a series of sentences, phrases, or clauses. In this situation, anaphora helps to emphasize the question and to create a sense of focus or urgency around it.

Sorry for such a long explanation, but I hope it helps you out. Good luck with your assignment! :)

Grant Malvern was a superstar high school athlete from a small town where football was revered.
of this town placed a high value on victories. So a top performer like Grant was given privileges and
exceptions. Grant did not have to struggle his way through rigorous courses in high school. He attended
special study sessions with teammates where they mainly studied football. To the surprise of few, Grant was
given a full ride to a reputable university based on his athletic prowess. Yet Grant was not prepared for this
new experience. He expected the university to make special exceptions for him as his high school had. While
he did receive quite a few exceptions, it was not enough to compensate for how underprepared he was.
Despite many good faith interventions by the university, Grant failed to get it together. He lost his
scholarship, and dropped out after his freshman year.

Answer:

Answer:

A magazine article that uses other reliable sources  

A book is written in 2014 by a high school teacher  

A recent online journal article by a professor of technology education

Explanation:

A reliable source should be credible, allow to identify the author who should have knowledge about the topic he/she is talking about, it shouldn't be old as it could be outdated and it shouldn't have grammar mistakes. According to this, the sources that would be reliable for a research paper about the use of technology in school are:  

A magazine article that uses other reliable sources   A book is written in 2014 by a high school teacher A recent online journal article by a professor of technology education  

The other options are not right because a web page that has spelling and grammatical errors cannot be trusted, a journal entry written by a high school student could be subjective and the student is not an expert on the topic and a newspaper article written in 1985 is too old.

Young George, however, did not yield himself
To nourish the false hunger of a ghost
That made no good return. He saw too much:
The accumulated wisdom of his years
Had so conclusively made plain to him
The permanent profusion of a world
Where everybody might have everything
To do, and almost everything to eat,
That he was jubilantly satisfied
And all unthwarted by adversity.

What is young George’s attitude toward life in this excerpt? Select all that apply.

The world is a place of unlimited opportunities.
The world is a place of abundance.
The world is a difficult place and must be approached with caution.
The world is an empty place with ghostly presences.

Answers

Answer:

The world is a place of unlimited opportunities.

The world is a place of abundance.

Explanation:

The excerpt shows that Young George was an optimistic person who saw the positive side of things and who was unwilling to yield to the troubles of life. He believed in a world of abundance where all he desired were obtainable, where people had enough food to eat, where he was well satisfied and not daunted by the adversities he experienced.

This was the positive mental disposition of Young George as seen in the text above.
