Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In “My Two Lives” Jhumpa Lahiri talks about her hardship growing up in America coming from two different cultures. At home she spoke Bengali with her parents, ate with her hands. According to Jhumpa’s parents she was not American and would never be. This led her to become ashamed of her background. She felt like she did not have to hide her culture anymore. When Jhumpa got married in Calcutta she invited her American friends that never visited India. Jhumpa thought her friends would judge from being part of the Indian culture and isolate her.However her friends were intrigued by her culture and fascinated. She felt like her culture should not be hidden from her friends anymore, and that coming from an Indian-American culture is unique. Jhumpa believes that her upbringing is the reason why she is still involved with her Bengali culture. Jhumpa says“While I am American by virtue of the fact that I was raised in this country, I am Indian thanks to the efforts of two individuals.” Jhumpa means that she is Indian, because she lived most of her life and was raised here. In the story Lahiri explains that her parents shaped her into the person she is. Growing up coming from two different cultures can be difficult, but it can also be beneficial.

Answer:

a 30 page essay on how birds migrate

BY SHAUNACY FERRO

Where birds go during the winter, and how they get there, has baffled people in the northern regions of the world for centuries. Aristotle suggested that birds changed species with the seasons; that redstarts turned into robins and garden warblers into blackcaps as the weather cooled. As late as the 19th century, some naturalists thought birds hibernated.

The reality seems almost as crazy as birds morphing species throughout the year. Thousands of bird species (at least 40 percent of the world’s birds) travel between summer breeding grounds and winter enclaves, sometimes crossing continents and oceans to do so. For example, every year, the arctic tern travels 44,000 miles on a meandering path between Greenland and Antarctica. However, seasonal migration is not restricted to flying birds. Emperor penguins march across 70 miles of ice each year from the sea to their breeding ground.

The overwhelming majority realize that the food we send abroad is for essential military purposes, for our own and Allied fighting forces, and for necessary help in areas that we occupy. Poster about rationing. Both the speech and the poster convey the importance of conserving resources at home so troops can have more. making sure that all citizens receive a fair share. displaying patriotism in all facets of one’s daily life. donating money to provide supplies for the troops.

Answers

Answer:

I believe the correct answer is: diction to convey their message.

Both this excerpt from Roosevelt’s State of the Union address and the poster use the particular diction, a style of enunciation in speaking or singing, to convey their message. In his speech Roosevelt uses words such as patriotism, essential and necessary to put an emphasis on the need to send more food to the soldiers, so they could win a war. On the poster, the emphasis is realized by using the dash and by underlining “they”.

Explanation:

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
by Robert Louis Stevenson
Part 1

1. Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary, and yet somehow lovable. At friendly meetings, and when the wine was to his taste, something eminently human beaconed from his eye; something indeed which never found its way into his talk, but which spoke not only in these silent symbols of the after-dinner face, but more often and loudly in the acts of his life. He was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone, to mortify a taste for vintages; and though he enjoyed the theatre, had not crossed the doors of one for twenty years. But he had an approved tolerance for others; sometimes wondering, almost with envy, at the high pressure of spirits involved in their misdeeds; and in any extremity inclined to help rather than to reprove.
2. "I incline to, Cain's heresy*," he used to say. "I let my brother go to the devil in his quaintly 'own way.'" In this character, it was frequently his fortune to be the last reputable acquaintance and the last good influence in the lives of down-going men. And to such as these, so long as they came about his chambers, he never marked a shade of change in his demeanour.
3. No doubt the feat was easy to Mr. Utterson; for he was undemonstrative at the best, and even his friendship seemed to be founded in a similar catholicity of good-nature. It is the mark of a modest man to accept his friendly circle ready-made from the hands of opportunity; and that was the lawyer's way. His friends were those of his own blood or those whom he had known the longest; his affections, like ivy, were the growth of time, they implied no aptness in the object. Hence, no doubt, the bond that united him to Mr. Richard Enfield, his distant kinsman, the well-known man about town. It was a nut to crack for many, what these two could see in each other, or what subject they could find in common. It was reported by those who encountered them in their Sunday walks, that they said nothing, looked singularly dull, and would hail with obvious relief the appearance of a friend. For all that, the two men put the greatest store by these excursions, counted them the chief jewel of each week, and not only set aside occasions of pleasure, but even resisted the calls of business, that they might enjoy them uninterrupted.
*The biblical story of Cain and Abel is a story about two brothers who gave offerings to God. Abel's offering was accepted by God, but Cain's was not. Jealous, Cain killed his brother. When God asked Cain where Abel was, Cain said, Am I my brother's keeper? By saying this, Cain implied that what his brother did was his own business. (Genesis 4:1-16)

When Mr. Utterson says that he "inclines to Cain's heresy," this reveals that he is

Write a 200 word essay on your thoughts on cyberlaws – do you believe social media companies have too much power to regulate what some believe should be free speech? Are they now large enough to be regulated more strictly by the government? What limits if any would you impose on them?

Answers

Answer:

Essay on my thoughts on cyberlaws is written below in details.

Explanation:

In the new years, the ascent of social media has been remarkable. The social media companies like Face-book and Twit-ter have grown such a lot that they presently have billions of users and have acquired various sorts of powers to control because of their size and incomes. Additionally, their effect on the general public makes it significant that these companies are appropriately regulated and there is a necessity of cyber laws. I feel that social media companies have too quite a bit of power to regulate free speech on their platforms. The companies like Face-book and Twit-ter often regulate free speech through various components like damaging posts and so on by developing their own implicit rules. In the past, these platforms have been under investigation for supporting and restricting particular sorts of philosophies. It is because of this reason that they should be regulated by the government. In numerous nations posts on these social media platforms have brought about the creation of social agitation. Every one of these factors makes it significant that the governments should regulate these platforms for restricting the boundless power that these platforms have acquired. There is a need to guarantee that there are appropriate cyber laws that can forestall the utilization of social media platforms as a tool for causing disharmony, advancing brutality, fakes, and medication selling, and so on.

Analysis: Contrasting Styles
Find two articles on the same topic in a professional field that interests you. One article should be taken from a newspaper or magazine of general interest, such as one you would find on a newsstand; the other should be from a magazine or journal written mainly for professionals in the field you have chosen. Now contrast the two articles according to purpose, intended audience, and level of technicality.

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The first article is from a newspaper of general interest. It was in my father's office. The article refers to the key to success if you want to be a championship team in college sports.

The other article is from a magazine written mainly for professionals in the field of athletics.

The purpose of the first article barely informs the readers of the ways some football coaches have used to build winning teams, despite adversities. The purpose of the second article is more specialized because it refers to a specific football system that has been implemented by some teams that had been successful.

The intended audience of the first article is people in general, such as the common sports fan. It is just an article to capture the interests of the readers. The second is specialized and was written by experts to readers who are coaches or athletic directors.

Regarding the level of technicality, the first article was simple, easy to read. Just for entertainment purposes. The second one was very technical, using sports and football jargon just to be understood by professionals in the field.

Explain Feklisov's rationale for American assistance to the Soviets?

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached or further context, we can say the following.

Feklisov's rationale for American assistance to the Soviets was that the United States government was interested in the scientific minds and technology developed in the Soviet Union. So helping some Soviets coming to America, the government could learn about the secrets behind Soviet weaponry and technologies.

Let's have in mind that these were the times of the Cold War, in which the United States and the Soviet Union competed in the arms race, the space race, and in the spreading/containment of Communism around the world.

Colonel Alexander Feklisov (1914-2007) was a Soviet spy who has a legal residency in the United States.

In the poem "Life is Fine," Hughes creates a form that is based on the blues genre in American music, and yet unique to the poem itself. What role do the italicized lines play in the poem? How do they effect the way the poem looks and sounds? How do they affect its rhythm? Are these effects related to the content in these lines?

Answers

Answer:

message me for the answer

Explanation:

Answer:

In the poem “Life is Fine”, italicized lines work as the narrators reasons as to why he should not harm himself. The temperature of the water and how high up the elevator had taken him were decisions on why not to harm himself.

The italicized lines effect the way the poem looks and sounds by giving the words emphasis and a sense of imagery. For example, stating how high the 16th floor had shocked him and the temperature of the water.

The rhythm is affected by the repetition of lines and the inclusion of blues lyrics.

In relation to the content in the lines, the effects result in evoking a mournful tone and tempo. Such effects are common in the blues genre of music.

(5) The World Health Organization (WHO) says that universal health care is achievable, even in poor countries.

Which revision is the best way to strengthen the argument? A sentence stating the claim should be added before sentence 1. Sentence 2 should be deleted because it does not clearly support the claim. Sentence 4 should be revised to incorporate strong supporting evidence. A sentence that includes a strong rebuttal should be added after sentence 7.

Answers

Answer:

The revision that is the best way to strengthen the argument is:

Sentence 4 should be revised to incorporate strong supporting evidence.

Explanation:

In order to defend his claims, an author needs to offer his audience strong arguments. Strong arguments need support, which comes for providing evidence of what is being claimed. Having that in mind, let's take a look at sentence 4:

4) That is a really terrible thing, and governments need to act.

Even though sentence 4 is addressing what was said in sentence 3, it is still a weak sentence to be included. It does not support the argument with evidence at all. It simply conveys the author's personal opinion and feelings, which is not enough to help strengthen this argument. The best way to revise it would be by adding evidence that truly conveys the idea that not having healthcare is a terrible thing.
