How is Kathrine Johnson and, The Women of hidden Figures similar?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Hidden Figures is not that kind of film: It’s a story of brilliance, but not of ego. It’s a story of struggle and willpower, but not of individual glory. Set in 1960s Virginia, the film centers on three pioneering African American women whose calculations for NASA were integral to several historic space missions, including John Glenn’s successful orbit of the Earth. These women—Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson, and Dorothy Vaughan—were superlative mathematicians and engineers despite starting their careers in segregation-era America and facing discrimination at home, at school, and at work.

And yet Hidden Figures pays tribute to its subjects by doing the opposite of what many biopics have done in the past—it looks closely at the remarkable person in the context of a community. Directed by Theodore Melfi (St. Vincent) and based on the nonfiction book of the same title by Margot Lee Shetterly, the film celebrates individual mettle, but also the way its characters consistently try to lift others up.  They’re phenomenal at what they do, but they’re also generous with their time, their energy, and their patience in a way that feels humane, not saintly. By refracting the overlooked lives and accomplishments of Johnson, Vaughan, and Jackson through this lens, Hidden Figures manages to be more than an inspiring history lesson with wonderful performances.

There is a park at night. There is a slightly old looking bench and several lit light posts on the left side of the walk way. There is a wide path of concrete to walk on and the light from the lamps reflects on it. There is very short grass on each side of the path. To separate the path from the grass there is a thin rusty brow metal rod built into the ground. There is a small trashcan in the distance too. The path seems to be slightly bumpy in near the first lamp post. There is one light post in the distance on the right. It seems to be spring or summer because there isn´t snow and the trees aren´t bare and there aren´t any leaves on the ground.

Read the excerpts below and answer the questions that follow.
An old monarch reigned in a small kingdom. The ruler had three adult sons. Because he
loved his three sons equally, the monarch could not decide which one would take his place
on the throne. His kingdom and wealth were too small to divide among the princes. Only
one son would be able to reign.
The monarch thought about how he would select one son to lead the kingdom. He
decided he would assign each of them a task to perform, and whichever prince was the
most successful would get the kingdom as his reward.

Which word has the same root word as especially?
A)species
B)espadrille
C)specialized
D)spectator

Answers

Answer:

C is the answer

explanation: I just know

The word which has the same root word as especially is specialized. Thus, option C is correct.

What is Root words?

A root is the heart of a word that cannot be broken down into more significant pieces. A root is a morphologically basic unit that may be left bare or to which a prefix or suffix can be attached. A root word is a basic word with no prefix or suffix added to it.

Specialized is "to designate specifically," from special (adj.) + -ize, perhaps based on the French spécialiser. The term with the same root as specifically is specialized.

Therefore, it can be concluded that a specialized person or item has been trained or developed for a specific purpose or area of knowledge.  As a result, option C is correct.

What are some Similes that are about achieving goals?

Answers

her goal was like a trophy, and she made it a point to win first place.

I was climbing up a mountain-path

With many things to do,

Important business of my own,

And other people's too,

When I ran against a Prejudice

That quite cut off the view.

My work was such as could not wait,

My path quite clearly showed,

My strength and time were limited,

I carried quite a load;

And there that hulking Prejudice

Sat all across the road.

So I spoke to him politely,

For he was huge and high,

And begged that he would move a bit

And let me travel by.

He smiled, but as for moving! —

He didn't even try.

And then I reasoned quietly

With that colossal
mule:

My time was short — no other path —

The mountain winds were cool.

I argued like a Solomon;

He sat there like a fool.

Then I flew into a passion,

and I danced and howled and swore.

I pelted and belabored him

Till I was stiff and sore;

He got as mad as I did —

But he sat there as before.

And then I begged him on my knees;

I might be kneeling still

If so I hoped to move that mass

Of obdurate
ill-will —

As well invite the monument

To vacate Bunker Hill!

So I sat before him helpless,

In an ecstasy
of woe —

The mountain mists were rising fast,

The sun was sinking slow —

When a sudden inspiration came,

As sudden winds do blow.

I took my hat, I took my stick,

My load I settled fair,

I approached that awful incubus

With an absent-minded air —

And I walked directly through him,

As if he wasn't there!

In Act 3, Scene 1, Tybalt confronts Romeo and challenges him to a duel. What is the dramatic irony of this scene that motivates Romeo to forgive the insult by Tybalt?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Dramatic irony is a technique used by authors in which the audience knows something that the characters do not. In Act 3, Scene 1 of "Romeo and Juliet", Tybalt, who belongs to Juliet's family, wants to duel with Romeo. What Tybalt does not know is that Romeo has married Juliet in secret. Romeo tells Tybalt he will not fight with him because he has reason to love him now - in other words, they are family now. This is the dramatic irony in the scene, for Tybalt does not understand what Romeo means by these words.
