They suggest that the girl needs to learn more about how to play the drums. C. They highlight the powerful dreams the girl has about playing the drums. D.

Answers

This question refers to "Drum Dream Girl" by Margarita Engle.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. They highlight the powerful dreams the girl has about playing the drums.

Explanation:

The girl loved to play the piano no matter what others said.

It had always been her dream and the fact that their parents told her that only boys should play the piano did not prevent her from doing what she liked best.

The words the author uses prove it. Let's look at the following quotes:

"At home, her fingertips rolled out their own dreamy drum rhythm on tables and chairs ..."

"Her hands seemed to fly as they rippled rapped and pounded all the rhythms of her drum dreams."

So I have an English assignment talking about how poor communities have less availability to fresh food, so all I need is a 6 sentence paragraph about, "what are the effects of a person’s social status?". "social status" just means like, if you're poor, rich, of middle (like you're not super rich or poor). But anyway that's all I really hope you can help me out, k thank you so much!

Answers

Answer:

sure!

Explanation:

Social status has a lot to do with availability to things that you need. We will start with a poor or less fortunate person, a less fortunate person could have trouble paying for things such as food or clothing and could have trouble taking care of themselves and their family so we should do whatever we can to help the poor community. Next, we will talk about the middle class, middle class is when you are not rich or poor a middle-class person could easily pay for things needed and things wanted but depending on if they are lower middle class or higher depends on what they could buy. Lastly, we will be talking about the rich or the more fortunate ones, the rich class is easily able to buy things needed and they can support themselves and their family easily and can buy expensive things. So as you can see there are 3 classes of net worth you can have. Whichever class you are on depends on what you can afford.

Why does One Eye bother to care for his cubs? Part 2 in White Fang

Answers

Answer:

One Eye desperately hunts for meat, but all the cubs, save the gray cub, die of hunger. The deaths of White Fang's siblings signal that life in the wild is under constant threat. One Eye dies because he rashly attacks the lynx on his own. Her wrath is merciless because she has a litter of hungry kittens at her back.

Explanation:

One Eye searches feverishly for meat, but all the cubs—aside from the grey cub—pass away from starvation. The loss of White Fang's siblings serves as a warning that wild life is constantly in danger. One Eye loses his life as a result of his reckless attack on the lynx. She has a brood of starving kittens at her back, so her fury is ruthless.

What is Eye ?

The organs in our eyes are what let us see. They receive light from the environment and transmit visual data to your brain. Your eyes have a 200-degree field of view, which includes the front and sides of you (peripheral vision). Your eyes' many components work together to let you view pictures, motion, and depth. Your eyes are capable of seeing millions of distinct hues.

Many diseases, such as typical vision issues like myopia (nearsightedness), astigmatism, and eye trauma, can alter how your eyes function. Eye issues can result from a number of illnesses and conditions, including autoimmune diseases, diabetes, and high blood pressure, which are not always eye-related.

Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north
a storm against the ships, and driving veils
of squall moved down like night on land and sea.
The bows went plunging at the gust; sails
cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.
We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards,
unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee:
then two long days and nights we lay offshore
worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief,
until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining.

Answers

Explanation:

Note, a free-market economy is an economy that little government control over the supply and demand of most goods and services.

Since we operate under a free market economy, we would have or expect to have competitors who sell similar goods and services as we do. We would expect the prices of goods and services to change based on supply/demand factors. And lastly, as a corporation of some sort, we are going to enjoy the freedom to expand our operations without government restrictions.

Answer:

The children were armed from infancy by their mother. They were armed with inflexible code of morality, they were taught a religion without weakness and given a sense of duty without compromise. As a result of that, the son became a magistrate who was able to wield and execute the weapon of the law without pity and the daughter became intimate with God which cut her away from men.

Explanation:

From Paragraph 2, we can see a cause and effect that developed the plot. The mother of the children actually trained her children and we can see the effect or result of such training. So, we can say the training the mother gave them produced the kinds of people the children became.
