what are 3 things that happen in the book just mercy?
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:
Your last life
Explanation:
This is your last life, so what you don't agree? -
Born to move belongings, hug friends at the gate,
To buy some ibuprofen in duty free,
To nod at giggling Koreans, notice their traits.
This is your last body, a sound one-seat frame
Waiting in lounge to board for the hut above
Wait a little, baby, thirty-or-so lame
Years and you'll sit to laugh with Him who you love.
If you regret then only that you've seen
You grasp eternal truth hard and belated.
My new fringe does filter the world as a screen
Therefore it becomes a little less-hated.
Sit down and taste everything new that glistens.
If there's anything you can't see from the ground -
Research from above. There's a load not yet found
In last youth, this tough coordinate system.
Dance in your poems, with heels flick in a fling.
A party? No sleep for neighbors and friends hang
Here. And you are so beautiful with your bangs -
Geez, some idiot gets lucky this spring.

How did Frederick Douglass change are society.
Answer:
He became a leader in the abolitionist movement, which sought to end the practice of slavery, before and during the Civil War. After that conflict and the Emancipation Proclamation of 1862, he continued to push for equality and human rights until his death in 1895.
The big-named runners took off at a sprinter’s speed, but James began at his own pace and kept that same pace lap after lap around the track. In short time, the leaders began to drop out from exhaustion and James began to slowly catch up and pass the leaders before the finish line. He won the Olympic gold medal by a nose.

Comment on the effective use of adjectives used to describe each of the seven ages.
Answer:
Explanation:
A simile is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two different things using the words "like" or "as." Jacques, the speaker, uses several similes throughout the speech "The Seven Ages of Man" to compare various stages of man's life to different things. Discussing the second stage of man's life, the speaker uses a simile when he compares a whining schoolboy reluctantly walking to class to a snail ("creeping like a snail"). Just as a snail moves slowly, the disgruntled boy reluctantly walks to school. In the third stage of man's life, the adolescent male is "sighing like furnace," which expresses the hot passions of young love. Discussing the fourth stage of man's life, the speaker uses a simile to describe a soldier's facial features by writing that it is "bearded like a pard." A "pard" is an old word for a leopard. Shakespeare is essentially saying that the young solider's beard is patchy and spotted like a leopard's coat.
