Louisa May Alcott, Author and Activist
The novel Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott, is a classic beloved by many. In part an autobiographical account of Alcott’s life, the book illustrates women’s roles during the mid-nineteenth century. One might think after reading the book that Alcott was a firm supporter of the traditional roles for women, which included getting married and raising a family.
However, Alcott was not a typical woman.
For one thing, she was raised in an unconventional family. Her father, a teacher, writer, and philosopher, held views that did not conform to most of American society. For example, he used the Alcott home as a station on the Underground Railroad for enslaved people who had run away. He also believed that his daughters should pursue their passions and develop their intelligence. Most Americans believed that a woman’s place was to be a wife and mother.
Alcott was greatly influenced by her father. As she became older, she embraced the idea of equality for women. Where women were expected to be good housewives and depend on their husbands, Alcott believed that women were independent thinkers and could be self-supporting. She also refused to marry.
Before the publication of Little Women, Alcott was already a published author, having written short stories and thrillers, which she called “blood and thunder tales.” These were all written under a different name, or pseudonym, to disguise the fact that she was a woman. She had also documented her experiences as a nurse during the Civil War in a fictional account called Hospital Sketches, published in 1863. This book was Alcott’s first successful work.
By 1867, Alcott had established herself as an author who could write on a variety of subjects. So her publisher, Thomas Niles, suggested that she write a girl’s book. At this time, there was not a lot of literature published for children. But Alcott was not interested, stating in her journal that she “never liked girls or knew many, except my sisters....” Alcott also feared that writing a girls’ novel would be boring, especially in comparison to her earlier works.
In the end, it was her father who decided the matter for her. When he approached Thomas Niles about publishing a book he had written, Niles consented, but only if Louisa would write the girls’ book. Louisa agreed and set to work. She sat at her writing desk, built by her father, and proceeded to complete the book in two and a half months.
Alcott decided to write a story about the March family, to be based on her own family. The March sisters Jo, Beth, Meg, and Amy were modeled on Alcott’s sisters, with Jo being most like Alcott herself. In the book, Jo is a talented, headstrong, aspiring writer, reluctant to commit to the idea of marriage or dependence on a man. Alcott used her journals to recall some of the family’s experiences.
Even after working on the first twelve chapters, she and Niles both thought that the novel was “dull.” Once the book was fully written, Alcott was nervous about whether readers would embrace this new work. However, much to her surprise, the book was a smashing success, selling thousands of copies. Alcott began receiving letters from a great number of fans. She was asked to speak throughout the country.
All the attention made Alcott feel uncomfortable. She also did not like the way her readers, mostly young girls, demanded to know who the March sisters were going to marry. She wrote, “Girls write to ask who the little women marry, as if that was the only end and aim of a woman’s life.” Nevertheless, she responded to public demand and eventually wrote more about the March sisters in the novels Little Men and Jo’s Boys.
The success of Little Women and other stories earned Alcott the financial independence she desired. But she was never as engaged in writing for young readers as she was in her thrillers from years before. Nine years after the publication of Little Women, she went back to writing the tales of “blood and thunder” that she truly enjoyed. While Alcott was familiar with the traditional roles of women and could write at length about them, she rejected them for herself.
In "Louisa May Alcott, Author and Activist," what is the author's viewpoint with regard to Alcott as a person and literary figure?
The author is ambivalent toward Alcott and feels her fame is overblown.
The author is biased against Alcott and sees her as a bad influence.
The author is surprised by Alcott and curious as to her motivations.

“In the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. there hangs a quilt unlike any other in the world. In fanciful, inspired, and yet simple and identifiable figures, it portrays the story of the Crucifixion. It is considered rare, beyond price. Though it follows no known pattern of quilt-making, and thought it is made of bits and pieces of worthless rags, it is obviously the work of a person of powerful imagination and deep spiritual feeling. Below this quilt I saw a note that says it was made by “an anonymous Black woman in Alabama, a hundred years ago.” If we could locate this “anonymous” black woman from Alabama, she would turn out to be one of our grandmothers-an artist who left her mark in the only materials she could afford, and in the only medium her position in society allowed her to use.”
The quilt described in the passage above is symbolic of ____________.

Using sports as subject matter, write a sentence that has an introduction and an interruption in addition to the main part?
Answer:
The practice of sports should be done to stimulate benefits in the body and therefore it should, with some exceptions, be practiced frequently and with an intensity that gradually increases.
Explanation:
The introduction of the sentence presents the reason why the practice of sports should be encouraged in an individual's life. Right after the introduction, an interruption is made through the "with some exceptions" part, which is separated from the main part of the sentence by commas.
The interruption is a sentence, or a word, that interrupts the flow of thought that the sentence was establishing. In the case of the question above, the interruption shows that there are exceptions to the duty to exercise frequently.

Juno Reaches Jupiter
adapted from NASA
After an almost five-year journey to the solar system's largest planet
, NASA's Juno spacecraft successfully entered Jupiter's orbit during a
35-minute engine burn. Confirmation that the burn had completed was received on Earth at 8:53 p.m. PDT, Monday, July 4, 2016. Juno's
principal goal is to understand the origin and evolution of Jupiter. With its suite of nine science instruments, Juno will investigate the existence
of a solid planetary core. It will also map Jupiter's intense magnetic field, measure the amount of water and ammonia in the deep atmosphere,
and observe the planet's auroras. The mission also will let us take a giant step forward in our understanding of how giant planets form and the
role these titans played in putting together the rest of the solar system. As our primary example of a giant planet, Jupiter also can provide critical
knowledge for understanding the planetary systems being discovered around other stars.

Growth Mindset Math by Jo Boaler
Video 1: Jo Boaler discusses the brain and its ability to learn new information and how mistakes are a
huge part of that process. Her claim, through scientific research and data, is that the brain's synapses
grow when mistakes are made as opposed to the lack of growth that is made when a correct answer is
given. Based on this information, does this change the way that you might approach new tasks including
school? Explain your reasoning in a few sentences.
Answer:
Yes. It will definitely affect the way I approach new tasks. Based on this information, my approach to new tasks will definitely change. I will approach such tasks not with the fear of making mistakes but rather doing it to the best of my ability knowing that I will be corrected when I make a mistake. Also, it makes me attempt new topics in school and stand up to answer questions in class with the knowledge of being corrected when I'm wrong.
I strongly believe that such will enable me to learn and get better both in class and in life.
Based on Clarisse's point of view, how are things in Bradbury's world similar AND different than today's world? You must use textual evidence to support your answer. Write in complete sentences, using proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation, • Based on Clarisse's description of her world and the comparison to today's world, what do you think Bradbury is trying to convey to his audience? You must use textual evidence to support your answer. Write in complete sentences, using proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. ·
This question is about "Fahrenheit 451".
Answer and Explanation:
Clarisse's point of view shows that the current world as well as the world of Bradbury is full of people who allow themselves to be alienated by useless television programs, are blinded by the media and cannot see beyond what is shown to them. However, there are differences between these two worlds, since in the current world we are free to refuse this type of alienation and to improve ourselves in studies, readings, family interaction and our aggrandizement.
Based on this, I believe that Bradbury wants to show how important it is that we consume television media in a controlled manner, without letting it take away what is most important to us, our rationality.
On the roof of Bradbury, Clarisse was raised in a family that encourages reading and reasoning, socializing and conversation, rejecting alienation from TV. This gives Clarissa the perception and the power to search for her own concepts, values and beliefs.

Discuss the contributions of Romantic-Era writers/poets such as Thoreau and Emerson.
Answer:
Emerson was one of the founders of Transcendentalism in America. An offshoot of the Romantic movement, Transcendentalism and its writers focused on creating a uniquely American voice in literature. Part of a movement called the New England Renaissance or the American Renaissance, Transcendentalism established the idea that American literature should have its own concerns and voice and should not simply try to emulate European literature. Instead, Emerson's writings, such as "Self-Reliance," stressed the importance of developing one's own talents and emphasized the importance of cultivating what is great in oneself. By extension, his writings emphasized the importance of developing an American literature that was not concerned with European models. Over time, as Emerson believed in the freedom of each person, he became an advocate of abolition, and he inspired others to fight against slavery.

The United States Senate has long enjoyed worldwide respect as the greatest deliberative body in the world."
Then she started making criticisms of the Senators for destroying people's reputation,
