Answer:
Certain groups are disproportionately affected by mass incarceration, Mass incarceration is a recent and current phenomenon, The road to justice is (really) long (Extra: Justice is not the only approach to the problem)
Explanation:
Certain groups are disproportionately affected by mass incarceration
Stevenson describes how African Americans, the poor, the mentally ill, youth, veterans and other groups suffer in large numbers from mass incarceration. For example, over 50 percent of US inmates have a diagnosed mental illness. The most vulnerable in our society are especially susceptible to mass incarceration.
Mass incarceration is a recent and current phenomenon
Stevenson describes how drug policies in the 1980’s, deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill and other factors have contributed to the huge increase in the incarcerated population over the past half-century. While racial injustice has always been an American problem, mass incarceration is modern. Stevenson describes mass incarceration as the last of four institutions that have shaped America’s approach to race and justice. The other three institutions are slavery, domestic terror and convict leasing from Reconstruction to World War II, and the Jim Crow era.
The road to justice is (really) long
While reading Just Mercy, I was continually reminded of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s quote, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Stevenson often worked for years to free a client, spending hundreds of hours on one case. This isn’t the flashy, feel-good, efficient altruistic work that one feels comfortable reading about. Rather, it was incredibly uncomfortable to read about the hurdles that Stevenson faced to free McMillian. However, through a lifetime of this work at the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), Stevenson has won relief for hundreds of people who were wrongly convicted or unfairly sentenced.
Justice is not the only approach to the problem
Because the problem of mass incarceration can be traced back to racial inequality, misguided drug policy, excessive sentencing and other causes, Stevenson describes how its solutions must also be multi-faceted. That’s why EJI focuses not only on criminal justice reform, but also on racial justice and public education. Ultimately, Stevenson describes how representing his clients and learning about them and their stories has taught him to understand his own brokenness and the need for mercy.
These four lessons are just the highlights of what I learned. If you are interested in justice, race or police misconduct, Just Mercy is an invaluable resource to learn more.
Answer this question in 150––200 words:
What do the two animals depicted in Blake’s poems “The Lamb” and “The Tyger” symbolize? Explain how these depict the contradictions in nature with examples from the poems to support your analysis. Thanks :)
Answer:
The tiger: theme
The Existence of Evil: the tiger poses a problem: everything about it seems to embody fear, danger, and terror. In a series of questions, the speaker of “The Tyger” wonders whether this creature was really created by the same God who made the world’s gentle and joyful creatures. And if the tiger was created by God, why did God choose to create such a fearsome animal? Through the example of the tiger, the poem examines the existence of evil in the world, asking the same question in many ways: if God created everything and is all-powerful, why does evil exist?
The lamb: "The Lamb," is able to identify God as the creator of the lamb because the small creature seems to represent joy, love, and freedom—but the tiger is an entirely different figure altogether. The poem does imply that God created the tiger too, but in the tiger's threat of violence and capacity for killing, it's harder for human beings to understand God's motivations for creating it. Essentially, the main aim of the poem is to flesh out this mystery, and to hint at possible answers.

Write an essay that analyzes how a text explains the sequence of events that affected the discovery of the Rosetta stone.
(this is a 7th L.A. easy)
Answer:
This should be relatively simple to explain but if you have questions, feel free to ask
Explanation:
Paragraph 1 - Introduce the text of choice. State its relationship to the Rosetta stone. and then make a simple thesis combining these 2 topics and add 2 ways that the text tells you the sequence of events that lead to the discovery of the Rosetta stone.
Paragraph 2 - Take your thesis statement and break it in half stating the book, it's relationship to the Rosetta stone, and 1 way that the text explains the sequence of events leading up to the discovery of Rosetta stone. Quote the text and add the page number and chapter. Lastly just restate the first sentence of the paragraph backwards in a way. "Because the book *insert text name* gives the information on *insert way 1* it helps us understand how it impacted the discovery of the Rosetta stone."
Paragraph 3 - (the same as paragraph 2 but with the 2nd way)
Conclusion - "As shown above, the text *insert text name* has a lot of detailed information about the sequence of events that impacted the discovery of the Rosetta stone. This information consists of *Give both ways that the text tells you what happened*. Overall, the text *insert text name* provides detailed information on the sequence of events that were crucial to the discovery of the Rosetta stone."

in his house as a lodger?
Please help me I this question I will mark you as brainlist
Answer:
McMurdo moved his lodgings from old Jacob Shafter’s and took up his quarters at the Widow MacNamara’s on the extreme outskirts of the town. Scanlan, his original acquaintance aboard the train, had occasion shortly afterwards to move into Vermissa, and the two lodged together. There was no other boarder, and the hostess was an easy-going old Irishwoman who left them to themselves; so that they had a freedom for speech and action welcome to men who had secrets in common.
Shafter had relented to the extent of letting McMurdo come to his meals there when he liked; so that his intercoursebq with Ettie was by no means broken.

Fortunately, the French had made a number of copies of the inscriptions on the Rosetta Stone. They did this by covering the surface of the Stone with printer's ink, laying a sheet of paper on it, and rolling rubber rollers over it until good, clear impressions were obtained. Based on the word choice in this excerpt, how does Giblin feel about the French attempt to understand the writings on the Rosetta Stone? that it was a waste of time that it was worthwhile that it was impossible that it was amazing
Answer:
Based on word choice, Giblin feels:
B. that it was worthwhile.
Explanation:
We can easily eliminate options A and C, since there is nothing conveying a negative connotation in the excerpt. We are left with options B and D.
Let's take a look at option D first. It says Giblin thinks the process of obtaining copies of the stone was amazing. However, that is not what the word choice conveys. Had there been words such as "fantastic" or "incredible" in the excerpt, this option would have made sense. But that is not the case.
Option B is the only correct one. The excerpt uses words such as "fortunately", "good", and "clear". Those words convey the idea that the process the French used was worthwhile. It not only worked, but worked well, effectively.
Answer:
B: That it was worthwhile.
Read the excerpt from Part 1 of The Odyssey by Homer.
They fell in, soon enough, with Lotus-Eaters,
who showed no will to do us harm, only
offering the sweet Lotus to our friends—
but those who ate this honeyed plant, the Lotus,
never cared to report, nor to return:
they longed to stay forever, browsing on
that native bloom, forgetful of their homeland.
I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships,
tied them down under their rowing benches,
and called the rest: All hands aboard;
come, clear the beach and no one taste
the Lotus, or you lose your hope of home.
Which line from the excerpt supports the conclusion that Odysseus cares for his men?
They fell in, soon enough, with Lotus-Eaters,
offering the sweet Lotus to our friends—
they longed to stay forever, browsing on
I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships,
Answer:
I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships.
Explanation:
While his crew no longer desires to come back to Ithaca with him (as a result of consuming the Lotus from the Lotus-Eaters), Odysseus shows that he cares about them by physically forcing them back to the ship. He could have just left them there, but instead, he shows loyalty and concern for his men by drawing them and freeing them from the Lotus-Eaters.
The line from the excerpt that supports the conclusion that Odysseus cares for his men is "I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships." This line shows that Odysseus takes action to protect his men from the effects of the Lotus plant, even though they may have wanted to stay and indulge in it.
What was Odysseus action for caring his men ?Odysseus took action to care for his men by preventing them from eating the Lotus plant. The Lotus plant had a narcotic effect on those who consumed it, causing them to forget their homes and families and to lose their desire to return.
When they encountered the Lotus-Eaters who offered the sweet Lotus plant to his men, Odysseus drove them back to the ship, tied them down under their rowing benches, and warned the rest of the crew not to taste the plant.
By physically forcing them back to the ships and tying them down to prevent them from tasting the Lotus, Odysseus demonstrates his concern for their well-being and his determination to keep them on course towards their homeland.

After reading The Scarlet Letter, do you feel that there are any modern-day "scarlet letters" that people are forced to wear or endure? Read the article, "Mental Illness Stigma: Overcoming the ‘Scarlet Letter' of Our Times" and decide if you agree or disagree with the author. Create a 3–5 sentence reflection.
Answer:
There are scarlet letters today, even in an evolved and modern society.
Explanation:
The term "scarlet letter" refers to a novel of the same name written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, where a woman carried the letter "A" on her chest to show people that she was an outcast of society and thus marginalized her and provoked the embarrassment to her.
Currently, there are "modern escalating letters" that some citizens carry due to factors they have no control over, such as people who suffer from a mental problem or illness and are treated marginally by society, as shown in the article "Mental Illness Stigma: Overcoming the 'Scarlet Letter' of Our Times ". These scarlet letters unfairly define people and prevent them from improving their living conditions, but make them ashamed, sad and often even sicker.
