what is a background information and give an example ​

Answer:

Information you already knew or info that relates to your topic pre-hand

Explanation:

Answer:

Background Information

Background information is information given in a non-fiction essay/text that the reader needs in order to understand the overall theme of the text or point the writer is attempting to make.

Background information is often provided after the hook, or opening statement that is used to grab the reader's attention. The type and amount of background information provided by the writer will depend on the purpose and topic of the essay. The writer may need to provide some definitions, or perhaps an overview of the problem being addressed in the essay.

Examples of Background Information:

In his inaugural speech at Rice University, John F. Kennedy spoke about the space race and going to the moon. This is just some of the background information he included in his speech about the pace of progress and human history:

No man can fully grasp how far and how fast we have come, but condense, if you will, the 50,000 years of man¹s recorded history in a time span of but a half-century. Stated in these terms, we know very little about the first 40 years, except at the end of them advanced man had learned to use the skins of animals to cover them. Then about 10 years ago, under this standard, man emerged from his caves to construct other kinds of shelter. Only five years ago man learned to write and use a cart with wheels. Christianity began less than two years ago. The printing press came this year, and then less than two months ago, during this whole 50-year span of human history, the steam engine provided a new source of power.

As he began his "I have a Dream" speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., Martin Luther King, Jr. provided some historical context for the fight for freedom:

Five score years ago a great American in whose symbolic shadow we stand today signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree is a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. But 100 years later, the Negro still is not free.

Abraham Lincoln began "The Gettysburg Address" with the hook that the founding fathers espoused that all men are created equal. Then he provided this background information about the current context of the Civil War:

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

A central idea in the article about the life of Susan Butcher is that a childhood passion for animals and the outdoors became the focus of her entire life. The author develops this idea by describing some important events of Butcher's life and by inserting descriptions of intense moments in her Iditarod racing experiences. In addition to explaining how Butcher became interested in dog racing as a teen, the author gives a history lesson about how the famous Iditarod race actually grew out of a real event. When Butcher learned of the Iditarod story, she decided to race in the modern Iditarod race and began training herself and her dogs. The author also explains how Butcher educated herself with veterinary classes in order to care for sled dogs and other animals, how she lived independently in Alaska for a time working hard to train herself and her dogs to build strength and endurance, and how her experiences with her dogs taught her about the importance of building trust with her animals as well as about the dangers of racing. The author also explains how Butcher's determination helped her become a winner. The descriptions of hardships such as living alone in the Alaskan wild show that Butcher was an extraordinary person who focused in achieving her goal of racing in the Iditarod. The author keeps the reader interested by adding descriptions of close calls she experienced, like the one when her dog Tekla disobeyed her command but kept her from sliding into icy waters. The article includes information about the times Butcher did not win the Iditarod but kept racing, and that shows her determination to follow her passion. Another way the writer develops the central idea is to insert a story about a time Butcher was nearly drowned. The article begins with a dramatic description of Butcher's experience of falling through ice into cold water with her dogs. But only part of the story is told then. More of it is told later in the article after the reader has lots of background information about dog-sled racing and about Butcher's years of preparation for the Iditarod. The article ends with another story that happened after Butcher died from leukemia in 2006. We learn that her daughter drove Butcher's team of dogs in the 2007 race as an honorary musher in memory of her mother. So this shows how a person's passion can leave an impression on other people.

which statement best explains how the setting affects the meaning of the story

Amelia Earhart was born in 1897 in a small Kansas town. That was six years before the Wright brothers took their famous first airplane flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Over the next two decades, aviation developed rapidly, but the pilots at the controls were mainly men. Amelia Earhart broke through that barrier to become a famous aviator, and she paved the way for women who followed.

Amelia Takes Off
Amelia took her first flying lesson in 1921. At the end of the year, she received her pilot’s license. She took odd jobs and received financial help from her mother to buy her own airplane. With a plane of her own, Amelia quickly began making a name for herself in the aviation world. In October 1922, she broke a world record for female pilots by flying her plane to 14,000 feet in altitude. In 1923, she received her International Pilot’s License—just the sixteenth woman in the world to do so. Unfortunately, Amelia had to sell her plane to give her mother money, and for a while, her love of aviation became more of a hobby.

But this all changed in 1928 when Amelia was contacted by publisher George Putnam, who she later married. He invited her to be a passenger on a cross-Atlantic flight. Amelia would have preferred to be the pilot, not the passenger, but at the time, flying a plane over an ocean was considered too dangerous for women.

The flight was successful, and Amelia became world-famous as the first woman to fly across the Atlantic. However, Amelia was not satisfied. She did not get to operate the controls during the flight and thought of herself as being no more important to the flight’s success than “a sack of potatoes.” She was determined to fly on her own.

Amelia Reaches Stardom
In 1929, Amelia became involved with an organization called the Ninety-Nines, a group that promoted female pilots in the aviation industry. She was the group’s first president. In May of 1932, Amelia crossed the Atlantic again, but this time she was at the controls. She made the trip from Canada to Ireland in 15 hours. She received many medals and awards for her achievement.

Amelia hoped her success would open doors for women in aviation and in other fields, so she continued flying and setting records. She became the first person to fly across both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans when she flew from Hawaii to California.

An Extraordinary Mission
Even after proving she was a world-class aviator, Amelia still wanted more. In 1937, she set off on an amazing trip: flying around the world. Amelia started in California but faced trouble along the way. She became ill, her plane needed repairs, and bad weather forced a change in the flight route. She made it to one of her planned stops near Australia, but she never made it to her next destination. People all over the world were following the news of Amelia’s trip—and now she was missing! President Franklin D. Roosevelt conducted a $4 million rescue mission, but Amelia was never found.

Amelia hoped that her actions would inspire other women to follow their dreams. One of her lifelong missions was for the world to recognize that women could have the same careers as men. Even though she died at a young age, just 40 years old, Amelia was an inspiration to many.

The men had driven away and the schoolchildren had paraded out of sight. Now a self-conscious and stricken silence overtook the neighborhood, overtook our white corner house and myself inside.

After practicing the first lesson, how does Tris feel—both physically emotionally/mentally (pg. 79)?

Why does Shakespeare's "All the World's a Stage" focus on infancy in its opening lines? The poem is meant to be comedic, and Shakespeare considers infancy to be the funniest stage of life. The poem addresses the roles that actors play, and many actors begin performing as children. The poem is structured to depict life in chronological order, so it deals with the earliest stage of life first. The poem explores what Shakespeare considers to be the most important stage of life first.

I need to find ANOTHER WAY to write my Thesis Statement:

CURRENT thesis statement: Child abuse and neglect affect children’s health now and later, and costs to our country are significant. Neglect, physical abuse, custodial interference, and sexual abuse are types of child maltreatment that can lead to poor physical and mental health well into adulthood. People that suffered or is suffering from child abuse or neglect may act out such as behavior problems, not showing up to school, doing bad in school, no longer doing activities.
