Answer: An attitude of bewilderment. We can see this in the phrase: " I had always thought you Ibos were kindly disposed to other people.”
Explanation: When Nene is talking to her fiancée, she wonders why he is so discouraged and indecisive about telling his father about the marriage. Nnaemeka starts explaining that not all parents react happily when their son gets married to a person they didn't choose. The words " I had always thought you Ibos were kindly disposed to other people”, imply that she is bewildered by this revelation when she had thought that there would be no problem with accepting her into their family.

at least two paragraphs, compare the process for electing the state governor with electing the U.S. president. Explain which process you think is more democratic with at least three reasons to justify your position.
Answer:
The debate over the continued use of the Electoral College resurfaced during the 2016 presidential election, when Donald Trump lost the general election to Hillary Clinton by over 2.8 million votes and won the Electoral College by 74 votes. The official general election results indicate that Trump received 304 Electoral College votes and 46.09% of the popular vote (62,984,825 votes), and Hillary Clinton received 227 Electoral College votes and 48.18% of the popular vote (65,853,516 votes). [1]
Prior to the 2016 election, there were four times in US history when a candidate won the presidency despite losing the popular vote: 1824 (John Quincy Adams over Andrew Jackson), 1876 (Rutherford B. Hayes over Samuel Tilden), 1888 (Benjamin Harrison over Grover Cleveland), and 2000 (George W. Bush over Al Gore). [2]
The Electoral College was established in 1788 by Article II of the US Constitution, which also established the executive branch of the US government, and was revised by the Twelfth Amendment (ratified June 15, 1804), the Fourteenth Amendment (ratified July 1868), and the Twenty-Third Amendment (ratified Mar. 29, 1961). Because the procedure for electing the president is part of the Constitution, a Constitutional Amendment (which requires two-thirds approval in both houses of Congress plus approval by 38 states) would be required to abolish the Electoral College. [3] [4] [5] [6]
The Founding Fathers created the Electoral College as a compromise between electing the president via a vote in Congress only or via a popular vote only. The Electoral College comprises 538 electors; each state is allowed one elector for each Representative and Senator (DC is allowed 3 electors as established by the Twenty-Third Amendment). [3] [4] [5] [6]
In each state, a group of electors is chosen by each political party. On election day, voters choosing a presidential candidate are actually casting a vote for an elector. Most states use the “winner-take-all” method, in which all electoral votes are awarded to the winner of the popular vote in that state. In Nebraska and Maine, the candidate that wins the state’s overall popular vote receives two electors, and one elector from each congressional district is apportioned to the popular vote winner in that district. For a candidate to win the presidency, he or she must win at least 270 Electoral College votes. [3] [4] [5] [6]
At least 700 amendments have been proposed to modify or abolish the Electoral College. [25]
On Monday Dec. 19, 2016, the electors in each state met to vote for President and Vice President of the United States. Of the 538 Electoral College votes available, Donald J. Trump received 304 votes, Hillary Clinton received 227 votes, and seven votes went to others: three for Colin Powell, one for Faith Spotted Eagle, one for John Kasich, one for Ron Paul, and one for Bernie Sanders). On Dec. 22, 2016, the results were certified in all 50 states. On Jan. 6, 2017, a joint session of the US Congress met to certify the election results and Vice President Joe Biden, presiding as President of the Senate, read the certified vote tally. [21] [22]
For the 2020 election, electors are scheduled to meet and vote on Dec. 14, and deliver the results on Dec. 23. [23] A Sep. 2020 Gallup poll found 61% of Americans were in favor of abolishing the Electoral College, up 12 points from 2016. [24]

PROMPT: What is the overall message of “Mad Woman” by Taylor Swift?
Answer using the response paragraph format:
TWO QUOTES-one from each piece. Be sure they are embedded & cited)-highlight quotes any color, highlight the citation a different color.
Example of embedded quote with citation:
In the song “Mad Woman,” Taylor Swift compares herself to a scorpion by saying they “strike to kill,” suggesting that when she gets provoked, she will fight back (Swift).
Commentary (your thoughts/opinions)-[place brackets around commentary]
Answer:
Using her newfound political voice, Taylor touches on one of the major injustices women face. Women (especially celebrities) are constantly ridiculed by men, society, and, yes, even other women. But when you dare to fight back at your aggressors, you're labelled "emotional" and "crazy." Women are expected to just lay down and take whatever is thrown at them with a smile.

How can "The Transplant" in refugees by vetthanh Nguyen be read as a satire on America's obsession with labels, status, and financial wealth? And what consequences does the story seem to suggest these obsessions have on both the individual and American society as a whole?
Answer and Explanation:
"The Refugees" can be read as a satire on America's obsession with labels, status and financial wealth. That's because "The Refugees" tells the story of several families of immigrants who see America as the ideal place to escape their problems related to their home country. This is due to the stereotype created by the Americans themselves that America is the land of prosperity, ignoring the difficulties that a person can go through to prosper.
This stereotype can cause disappointment in foreigners, or even the loss of cultural identity, making them not feel a sense of belonging to something, since they cannot belong to a specific culture. Society can also be affected, as it ends up being composed of individuals who are dissatisfied, but are unable to change.

Mom and Dad talked to my sister and __________.
me; object of a preposition

How does the description of Madame Carambeau’s house in paragraphs 1-2 contribute to the meaning of the passage?
This question is about "A Matter of Prejudice".
Answer:
The description of the house shows how old and outdated it was, just like its owner Madame Carambeau.
Explanation:
Madame Carambeau is a woman full of prejudices, old-fashioned, snobbish and intolerant. She lives within old concepts that no longer fit within today's society and this causes her to stop enjoying many good and happy things that life can offer, such as keeping a family together, having friends and keeping in touch with her own son. .
The old-fashioned way that Madame Carambeau lives can be seen even in her home, which has an outdated and somewhat old model by the standards where the story takes place.

In the first chapter of the novel, Percy says "Being a half-bold is dangerous. It's scary. Most of the time, it gets you killed in painful, nasty ways." How has this proven true? What could have killed Percy so far on his quest? How has he managed to survive thus far?
This was proven true almost immediately with the attack at the top of half blood hill with Percy's mom. He was almost killed, and in the process his mom was thought to have been killed. Medusa could have also killed Percy on his quest, and he managed to survive by using the reflection of his sword to look at her and kill her.
