Based on the essay, compare the dreams of the author and her mother. Support your answer with relevant and specific details from the essay. (The essay is Volar by Judith Ortiz Cofer)
Answer:
In the essay, Judith Ortiz Cofer presents the same yet different dreams of the mother-daughter duo. While both seemed to wish for the same wish of the ability of flight, their objectives behind the wish are not that similar.
Explanation:
In Judith Ortiz Cofer's essay "Volar", she mentioned in the first paragraph her own dreams of having superpowers, like her hero Supergirl. Then, she would "would get on tip-toe, arms outstretched in the position for flight and jump out my fifty-story-high window into the black lake of the sky [....] and look inside the homes of people who interested me". She believed herself to be the same as the fictional superhero, but waking up to the same "tiny bedroom [....] back in my body: my tight curls still clinging to my head, skinny arms and legs . . . unchanged".
The second paragraph focuses on the parents who would have their "time" before she was woken up by her mother "exactly forty-five minutes after they had gotten up". The mother wishes to visit her relatives, her "familia on the Island" or go to the beach and have a vacation. And in a loving manner, these propositions will be brought down by her husband. And right before she went to wake up her daughter, she;'d say "Ay, si yo pudiera volar" which is basically meant to say she wish she could fly.
In a way, both the mother and the daughter seem to have the same desire of flight as their wish, though they may also differ in their objective. The mother's wish was to be able to get to her "familia" while the young daughter’s wish was to escape from her reality and be a superhero like her idol Supergirl.

What thoughts might you want to share with George
Floyd's friends and family right now?
What thoughts and feelings have you had about the
police violence against George Floyd?
What thoughts and feelings have you had about the
protests that have taken place?
What thoughts and feelings do you have about the
police response to the protests?
What is one thing we could do - individually, as a group,
or as a society - to show support for one another in the
wake of these events?
What do you want to say about what is happening at
this moment? What's on your mind?
What would you like to do for our community or the
world to address this issue?
(Write on loose leaf)
Answer:
Little is to say to Floyd's friends and family in such a painful moment. However, I do believe that his death has had a powerful impact and them knowing that it might be able to change the world as we know it, could provide them some comfort.
Explanation:
The police violence against George Floyd is no different from any other African American experience with the police, and it saddens me that only because this case became filmed and viral online, is that people are now paying attention.
The protests feel like an eruption that could not be avoided, because impunity has gone too far, and people are rightfully angry. And the police brutality against those protesting is only one more proof of that rightfulness.
I feel that at this point is time to listen to African Americans and make sure that governmental policies are applied to fix the inherent racism in our society, not only by the police but also in every microaggression we all reproduce in our everyday lives.
I´m scared that these events may not be enough, that eventually the media will stop focusing on this issue. It´s on every one of us to keep this conversation going, to make sure policies are changed, to vote for those who believe in equality, and to revise our own behaviors to ensure change happens.
Which sentence illustrates an internal conflict?
A. The lion hunts the antelope.
B. Perry wins a big prize and is happy.
C. Marina attempts to overcome her anger.
O D. Keith suffers a broken leg at the skate park.
SUBMIT
Answer:
C. Marina attempts to overcome her anger.
Explanation:
Internal conflicts happen inside the mind of the characters. A hunt is an external conflict. A broken leg certainly doesn't happen inside the mind of a character. Winning a big prize and being happy is not a conflict. So we're left with Marina "fighting" her own anger, which happens inside her mind.

Write the correct poetic device in each sentences. 1. The men at the windows had not yet swooped into the Hall, like birds of prey from their high perches. what poetic device is this. 2. Every green leaf, every blade of grass and blade of grain, was as shriveled and poor as the miserable people. what poetic device is this
Answer:
The two sentences have the same poetic device: simile.
Explanation:
A simile is a figure of speech used with the intention of making a comparison - stating a similarity - between two different things. It uses words such as "as" or "like", making a direct comparison - as opposed to a metaphor, which makes in indirect one.
In the sentences below, we find examples of simile:
1. The men at the windows had not yet swooped into the Hall, like birds of prey from their high perches.
2. Every green leaf, every blade of grass and blade of grain, was as shriveled and poor as the miserable people.
Both sentences are comparing completely different things in order to attribute similar qualities to them. In the first one, the men are being compared to birds of prey, which are fast and deadly. In the second one, the leaves, grass, and grains are being compared to the people, all of them being miserable. Both comparisons are done with the help of the words "like" and "as".

And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

he thinks he will never suffer affliction down the years.
But then, when the happy gods bring on the long hard
times,
bear them he must, against his will, and steel his heart.

O C. People believed in multiple gods.

Odyssey is a 24-book epic poem that is generally credited to the ancient Greek poet Homer.
What was Odyssey ?The poem tells the tale of Odysseus, ruler of Ithaca, who, after the Trojan War, wanders for ten years (although the action is only depicted for the last six weeks). Only his devoted dog and a nurse recognise him upon his return.
Odysseus regains control of his realm with the aid of his son Telemachus by destroying the persistent suitors for his devoted wife Penelope and some of her maids who had become friends with the suitors.
There is no chronological order in The Odyssey. Beginning in the middle of the story, the reader only has access to Odysseus' narration of earlier events. The initial four Books paint a picture of Ithaca. Odysseus' wife Penelope and their infant son Telemachus are helpless in the face of her haughty suitors as they become impatient for Odysseus to return from the siege of Troy.
Telemachus is looking for information on his father, who hasn't been heard from since embarking on a nearly 20-year war about 20 years prior.

Penn commits a tort while acting in the interest of her undisclosed principal. Who is responsible or liable? Principal and agent Principal only Agent only
Answer:
Principal Only.
Explanation:
The word 'tort' is borrowed from Latin word 'tortum' which means 'wrong, or injustice.' Thus, the word tort means to cause an injury or harm to someone or someone's property.
Tort is committed in many ways. 'Agency Relationship Liability Tort' is the type of tort in which a principal and an agent is required. In such torts, a principal will be held responsible directly in cases when he fails to supervise his agent, when he directly commands his agent to commit tort, or when he neglects to check the background of the agent while hiring.
In the given case, the unnamed principal will be held directly responsible for guiding Penn to commit tort. Because Penn committed tort in the interest of her undisclosed principal.
Thus the correct answer is 'Principal Only.'

Explanation:
Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep or to maintain a restful
sleep throughout the night. People who suffer from insomnia-
also called insomniacs—often experience decreased energy,
mood swings, and difficulty performing well in school and work
activities. This sleep disorder can last for days, weeks, or years.
People who suffer from this disorder can experience early
insomnia (difficulty falling asleep), middle insomnia (waking up in
the middle of the night), or late insomnia (waking up earlier than
desired)
There is not one single cause for insomnia. Some insomniacs
experience sleep disturbances because of depression, anxiety, or
a mental illness. Other times, insomnia is caused by outside
influences such as a noisy sleeping environment, a lack of
exercise, or too much caffeine ingested during the day. Often a
doctor will investigate a patient's lifestyle and sleeping habits as a
first step in diagnosing the cause of his or her insomnia.
Insomnia can be treated in many different ways, and most
often, lifestyle changes are recommended by doctors. Some of
the most commonly suggested home remedies for insomnia are
sticking to a sleep schedule, avoiding naps during the day,
removing electronic devices and bright lights from the bedroom,
and drinking warm milk before attempting sleep. If insomnia
persists or begins to negatively impact the sufferer's life, medical
attention should be sought.
A study the best medications to cure sleep disturbances
B write a paper about the first Doctor to diagnose insomnia.
C learn more about the causes of sleep disturbance.
D learn more about famous people who had insomnia

Ocean Plastics
The Perils of Plastic
Marine debris is a common pollution problem in oceans and waterways around the world. Plastic debris constitutes one of the most serious threats to ocean health.
Up to 90 percent of trash floating in the ocean and littering our shores is plastic. Plastics can harm wildlife, damage coastal habitats, impact local economies, and even threaten human health.
How Does Plastic Get into the Ocean?
Even if you don’t live near the coast, your plastic waste can still find its way to the ocean. A plastic water bottle blown into the street can travel down a stormwater sewer, into rivers and streams, and out into the ocean. Since plastic never completely biodegrades, almost every piece of plastic ever produced is still in the environment in some form.
Types of Plastic
Consumer products. Plastic debris comes in many different types and sizes that we buy and use ourselves, including disposable water bottles, plastic grocery bags, fishing net, fishing line, plastic cups and lids, packaging, water balloons, and straws. In the marine environment, these types of debris can harm wildlife when animals mistake plastic for food, or accidentally entangle themselves in plastic littering our shorelines or floating in the ocean.
Microplastics. Plastic does not biodegrade. Instead, once discarded into the environment, it breaks up into smaller and smaller pieces the longer it is exposed to the sun; a process called photodegradation. Any plastic particle less than 5 mm in diameter is categorized as a microplastic. Although small, these plastic pieces can have huge effects on ocean health.
Effects of Plastic
Plastic poses a serious threat to our oceans and waterways. Birds, turtles, fish, and other marine life ingest the plastic pieces, mistaking them for fish eggs, plankton, jellyfish, or other food sources. Every year, hundreds of thousands of sea creatures, both large and small, die from complications relating to plastic debris—they may have a stomach full of plastic that they cannot digest, or they may become fatally entangled in debris.
Harmful chemical pollutants can also attach to plastics and add to the toxicity of plastic debris consumed by animals. Risks to human health from microplastics in seafood are currently being assessed.
Read the article “Ocean Plastics.”
What is one of the author’s purposes in writing this piece?
A.) to persuade people to use only certain types of plastics
B.) to educate people about why plastic is the most harmful pollutant
C.) to convince people that plastics should not be used
D.) to inform people about the negative impacts of plastic pollution
