There are so many opportunities to make a
difference in another person's life. As life gets busy,
we tend to lose sight of what's important, like giving
back to the community. Here are some ideas to
participate in public service. Local soup kitchens
and food pantries are always looking for volunteers.
There are also many nursing homes that welcome
volunteers. Additionally, many nonprofit businesses,
like the YMCA, offer opportunities for people to
donate their time. I have included many links
throughout my blog that guide people to volunteer
opportunities in their area. Think about how you
would like to give back. Sometimes getting friends
involved can make the experience even more
meaningful. Get involved today; it's never too late!

O, come, Love, let us take a walk,
Down the Way-of-Life together;
Storms may come, but what care we,
If be fair or foul the weather.

Haunting echoes of our laughter.

Crushing us with fury, after
All is done, there'll ringing come
Mocking echoes of our laughter.

You and I, Love, both together,
Storm or sunshine, happy we
If be foul or fair the weather.

D) "Olivia: Get him to bed and let his hurt be looked to. (She glares at Viola, who shakes her head.)"Explanation:
Part A:
Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" is about how selfish love can be. Duke Orsino and Olivia are good examples of this. Orsino's self-indulgence over Olivia's real love is a selfish act, while Olivia's obsession with Cesario causes her to ignore her duties and mourn the death of her brother. The things these characters do show how crazy love can be and how it affects other people.Part B:
"Twelfth Night" shows how selfish love can be through the line, "Olivia: Get him to bed and let his hurt be looked to. (She glares at Viola, who shakes her head.)" This is from Act V. Olivia is selfish because she cares about her own feelings and doesn't care about how others feel. This shows the theme of selfishness in love.Here you can find out more about Shakespeare: https://brainly.com/questions/32838622

If you are interested in becoming a news reporter, start thinking about what kind of stories you want to write. News stories are usually divided into two types: hard news and soft news.
Hard news stories are usually about important events that are being reported on as they happen. Stories about things like politics, war, and crime fall into this group. They take a factual approach: What happened? When? Who was involved? Hard news is also called “general news” sometimes.
Soft news stories entertain the reader. They give background information and often tell a story. These stories are considered “human interest” because they talk about people in a personal or emotional way. They include information about their problems or concerns in a way that makes people sympathize.

Based on information in the article, which best describes the difference between the child labor rates in Nepal and Mongolia?
A.Child labor rates have increased in Mongolia since 1990, but decreased in Nepal since 1990.
B.Child labor rates have increased in Mongolia since 1990, but stayed the same in Nepal since 1990.
C.Child labor rates have increased in Nepal since 1990, but decreased in Mongolia since 1990.
D.Child labor rates have increased in Nepal since 1990, but stayed the same in Mongolia since 1990.
In 2000, there were 127 million children working in Asia. By 2004, that number had fallen to 122 million. Officials are pleased that child labor rates have dropped, but they say the decline isn't happening fast enough.
Those numbers came from a recent report from the International Labor Organization (ILO). The report focused on South Asia, which includes Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and other nations. It concluded that despite the decrease in the number of working children ages five to 14, South Asia remains a child labor hot spot.
The report discussed child labor in several nations and identified Nepal as one of the worst offenders. As of 2004, almost 40 percent of Nepalese children aged 10 to 14 were working. Many continue to do strenuous physical labor in mines, quarries, and carpet factories. Still, even in Nepal, child labor rates are declining; they had been near 50 percent in 1990.
The Philippines has improved, but problems remain in some industries. Many Filipino children still work in fireworks production, deep-sea fishing, and mining. The country has a national action plan to change this.
"The [anti-child labor] laws are all there," said Filipino Undersecretary of Labor and Employment Manuel G. Imson. Imson says that the government is working with the police to enforce these laws.
In some cases, child labor has emerged where it was previously nonexistent. There were few or no child laborers in Mongolia until 1990; today, up to 10,000 children there work in gold, coal, and mineral mines. Kh. Ganbaatar, executive director of the Mongolian Employers' Federation, blames the problem on economic changes as well as on natural disasters. Several years ago, winter storms killed millions of livestock. This made it harder for families to maintain their traditional herding way of life. Many of these families were forced to send their children to work.
In fact, child labor often develops because area families cannot make ends meet and need extra income. In other cases, parents want to send their children to school but cannot afford the related fees.
"A large number of working poor means that we have a large number of people who are unable to support children [going] to school," said Panudda Boonpala, senior child labor specialist at the ILO.
In August, government representatives from nearly 40 countries as well as workers' and employers' organizations attended an ILO conference. Topics on their agenda included migration, competitiveness, productivity, and youth employment (child labor). At a session on youth employment, participants watched a video that showed children working at a gold mine in Mongolia.
The ILO says that it will try to end some of the worst forms of child labor within 10 years. Its officials point out that attitudes about working children have changed in Asia. This is contributing to the reduction in child labor rates.
"I think 10 years ago there was lots of denial," Panudda said. Still, she said, nations will not be able to end child labor unless they are willing to put a lot of effort and funding into the fight against it.
Answer: C.Child labor rates have increased in Nepal since 1990, but decreased in Mongolia since 1990.

In Frost's poem, two roads are used to symbolize life's journey. What is the contribution of the symbol to the meaning of the text?
The two roads represent the regrets the speaker has about not choosing to take the easy path through life.
The two roads represent the many dangers life can hold and how you should always take the easy road to avoid getting hurt.
The two roads represent how the speaker feels throughout his day; mornings are hard to get through, but the day gets easier as you move through it.
The two roads represent the decisions we make in life, some that follow a path many have taken before and others that mean taking chances on the unfamiliar and uncomfortable.
The two roads represent the decisions we make in life, some that follow a path many have taken before and others that mean taking chances on the unfamiliar and uncomfortable. The symbol of the two roads in Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken" emphasizes the importance of the choices we make in life and how those choices can lead us down very different paths. The two roads represent the dilemma the speaker faces when he must choose which path to take, with one road appearing well-trodden and the other overgrown with vegetation. The speaker ultimately chooses the "road less traveled by," which makes "all the difference." The symbol of the two roads emphasizes the idea that our choices in life have consequences, and sometimes the more difficult path can lead to a more fulfilling and unique experience.

Carlos is planning a narrative about a group of hikers walking the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. He would like to use a narrator that is not a character in the story in order to allow the reader to see what each hiker is thinking and feeling along the way. Which point of view is best suited for his story?
First person
Second person
Third person limited
Third person omniscient
Answer:
He would use third person omniscient point of view.
Third person POV is a narrator that is not a character. Third person limited POV only knows what one character is thinking and feeling. 3rd person omniscient knows what every character is thinking and feeling.
What I was taught was to think of 3rd person omnicient as God; sees and hears everything, and know what they're thinking/feeling.

How does the author explain why we tattoo ourselves in the book the lost symbol?
Which of the following examples of figurative language from the poem best supports the idea that Susan B. Anthony's legacy was a guide and mentor for women that followed her?
Her life is a luminous banner borne ever ahead of her era
Her spirit like southern starlight at once is afar and around us
In the mine, the mill and the mart where is bartered the bread of your children
On ground hard held to the last, gaining her goal for women
Answer:
The best example of figurative language from the poem that supports the idea that Susan B. Anthony's legacy was a guide and mentor for women that followed her is "Her life is a luminous banner borne ever ahead of her era." The word "luminous" means "producing or giving light," and a banner is a symbol of a cause or movement. In this line, the speaker is comparing Susan B. Anthony's life to a luminous banner that is always leading the way for women. This suggests that Anthony's legacy is a guiding light for women, and that it will continue to inspire and motivate them for generations to come.
The other lines you provided also support the idea that Susan B. Anthony was a guide and mentor for women, but they do so in a more indirect way. The line "Her spirit like southern starlight at once is afar and around us" suggests that Anthony's spirit is still present, even though she is no longer physically here. The line "In the mine, the mill and the mart where is bartered the bread of your children" suggests that Anthony was concerned about the working conditions of women, and that she wanted to improve their lives. The line "On ground hard held to the last, gaining her goal for women" suggests that Anthony was a fighter, and that she never gave up on her goal of women's suffrage.
Overall, the poem provides a powerful and moving tribute to Susan B. Anthony. It is a reminder of her many accomplishments, and of the lasting impact she has had on the lives of women all over the world.

What do you think about the parental roles and their right to unwind kids who are too difficult to control? in unwind by Neal shustermen
Answer:
In "Unwind" by Neal Shusterman, the issue of parental control and discipline is explored in a complex and thought-provoking way. On the one hand, parents have a responsibility to raise their children to be responsible, productive members of society. This includes instilling values such as respect, obedience, and self-control. However, the book also raises the question of how far parents can or should go in disciplining their children, especially when their children are difficult to control.
One of the central themes of the book is the idea that parents do not have the right to "unwind" their children, or have them surgically dismantled for their body parts. This is a horrifying and extreme example of the dangers of parental control and the lengths to which some parents might go to assert their authority over their children. However, the book also shows how more subtle forms of control, such as emotional manipulation, can be just as damaging to a child's development and sense of self.
Overall, I believe that parents have a responsibility to discipline their children and teach them right from wrong. However, this discipline should always be based on love and respect, rather than fear or coercion. Parents should also be aware of their own limitations and seek help if they are struggling to control their children. Ultimately, the goal of parenting should be to raise happy, healthy, and independent adults, rather than to assert control over their lives.

4. Meter: E) The beat of the poem and the speed at which it moves, controlled by patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables.
5. Slant rhyme: C) Rhyming words with similar, not identical, sounds.
Assonance: Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within words in a line of poetry. The vowel sounds can be found in stressed or unstressed syllables and help create a musical or melodic effect in the poem. For example, in the line "I must confess, it's best to rest," the repetition of the short "e" sound in "best" and "rest" is an example of assonance.
Consonance: Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds within words in a line of poetry. Unlike traditional rhyme, which occurs at the end of words, consonance can occur in any part of the word, including the beginning, middle, or end. It creates a harmonious and rhythmic effect. For instance, in the line "Mike likes his bike," the repetition of the "k" sound in "Mike" and "bike" is an example of consonance.
Internal rhyme: Internal rhyme involves the use of rhyming words within a single line of poetry. The rhyming words may appear at the middle or end of the line and contribute to the poem's rhythm and flow. For example, in the line "Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary," by Edgar Allan Poe, the words "dreary" and "weary" create an internal rhyme.
Meter: Meter refers to the rhythmic pattern or beat of a poem, determined by the arrangement of stressed and unstressed syllables in each line. It establishes the poem's pace and creates a musical quality. Common meters include iambic pentameter, where each line has ten syllables with alternating stressed and unstressed beats, as seen in many Shakespearean sonnets.
Slant rhyme: Slant rhyme, also known as near rhyme or half rhyme, occurs when two words have similar, but not identical, sounds. The sounds may share the same consonants but have different vowels or vice versa. It is a subtler form of rhyme and often used to create a sense of tension or surprise. For example, in the line "sun" and "gone," the "n" sound is the same, but the vowel sounds are different, making it a slant rhyme.
