I NEED THIS FAST Read the passage from "Names/Nombres" by Julia Alvarez.

“Say your name in Spanish, oh, please say it!” I had made mouths drop one day by rattling off my full name, which, according to Dominican custom, included my middle names, Mother’s and Father’s surnames for four generations back.

“Julia Altagracia María Teresa Álvarez Tavares Perello Espaillat Julia Pérez Rochet González." I pronounced it slowly, a name as chaotic with sounds as a Middle Eastern bazaar or market day in a South American village.

What is the most likely reason why Julia does not like to say her whole name?

Her entire name is too difficult for her to pronounce.
Her friends like to make fun of her Dominican name.
It embarrasses her because it reflects her ethnicity.
She does not like saying it, because it is too much trouble.

Answer:. "it's too much trouble, or C It embarrasses her because it reflects her ethnicity. well, I like to pretend if she was me. I wouldn't like to say my long name in Spanish. ur welcome! ;) Have a good rest of your day, and know that you are loved!

Read the following excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass, by Fredrick Douglass and answer the question that follows.

The plan which I adopted, and the one by which I was most successful, was that of making friends of all the little white boys whom I met in the street. As many of these as I could, I converted into teachers. With their kindly aid, obtained at different times and in different places, I finally succeeded in learning to read. When I was sent of errands, I always took my book with me, and by doing one part of my errand quickly, I found time to get a lesson before my return. I used also to carry bread with me, enough of which was always in the house, and to which I was always welcome; for I was much better off in this regard than many of the poor white children in our neighborhood. This bread I used to bestow upon the hungry little urchins, who, in return, would give me that more valuable bread of knowledge. I am strongly tempted to give the names of two or three of those little boys, as a testimonial of the gratitude and affection I bear them; but prudence forbids;—not that it would injure me, but it might embarrass them; for it is almost an unpardonable offence to teach slaves to read in this Christian country.

Which of the following best summarizes the passages?

It was against the rules to teach slaves to read in white Christian country.

Frederick Douglass was wealthy while the white boys were poor.

Frederick Douglass couldn’t go to school because he had too many errands to do.

The white boys in his neighborhood taught him to read in exchange for pieces of bread.

Although there was always tension between the zoot-suiters and the sailors, the real trouble started the night of May 30, when a group of military men walked past a group of zoot-suiters in downtown Los Angeles. One sailor, Joe Dacy Coleman, decided to grab the arm of one of the zoot-suiters. This decision proved to be seriously flawed. The zoot-suiters knocked Coleman unconscious and attacked the other sailors with rocks, bottles and fists.

Read the excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.

After the valuation, then came the division. I have no language to express the high excitement and deep anxiety which were felt among us poor slaves during this time. Our fate for life was now to be decided. We had no more voice in that decision than the brutes among whom we were ranked. A single word from the white men was enough--against all our wishes, prayers, and entreaties--to sunder forever the dearest friends, dearest kindred, and strongest ties known to human beings.

Douglass’s purpose in this excerpt is to

entertain the reader with a suspenseful story.
explain the difference between “valuation” and “division.”
argue that no one else can understand his pain.
inform the reader about the cruelty of slavery.

#HELP and Take a look at the picture.

Fellow members of the community, I am here today requesting your support for the construction of a senior citizens center. This presentation will demonstrate all the ways that the senior center will benefit the entire community. Although many residents might worry that such a project would inevitably increase property taxes, I’m here to assure you that we can acquire the necessary funding without resorting to a drastic tax hike.
Our community has a large population of citizens over the age of sixty-five. As citizens grow older, they have fewer opportunities to socialize. While many senior citizens are involved in activities such as church groups and volunteer organizations, others remain isolated from the community. Furthermore, those who do participate in these groups still lack the daily socialization they once enjoyed during their school and work years—many still yearn for the chance to interact with their peers every day. A senior citizens center affords older community member the opportunity for daily social interaction, allowing them to maintain healthy and vibrant relationships outside the home.
As most of you already know, our town’s senior citizens make up the majority of our volunteer work force. Senior citizens are the people we see at bake sales, blood drives, and food drives, doing all they can to help our community. They are the people you see operating the bingo stands at the annual firefighter’s carnival, and raking the leaves and mowing the grass at the little league fields. Giving our seniors a place to gather and socialize will honor their lifelong commitment to this community, and it’s the least we can do to thank them for their years of service.
Thankfully, we can complete this project with minimal investment and without raising property taxes. Several state and federal grants are available for this type of project. Additionally, our town has about $50,000 left over in the annual recreation budget. By using this surplus and applying for grants, we can complete this project without raising taxes. With a little work, we can easily make this dream into a reality.
The senior citizens center will give our parents and grandparents a home away from home. It will also bring new jobs to our community. The senior center will need registered nurses, program coordinators, and janitorial workers. This could provide unemployed citizens with new opportunities for work. So, in conclusion, I’m asking all of you to think about the positive ways that this project will benefit our community and show your support for this initiative in November.

Hi. Ok, so I'm applying to be a Belle (It's a community thing) and I have to write a paragraph about why I'm applying and why I'd like to be selected. For some context, the Belles are an organization that does charity work and like town functions and stuff like that. Anyway, I'm bad at giving reasons why I want to do something, so I'm kinda stuck. How do I appeal to the people reading it and how do I word it without making it sound like I'm listing why I should be accepted? Because that's not technically what they were asking.

And you bet you he did learn him too. He'd give him a little punch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut--see him turn one summerset, or maybe a couple, if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat.

What tone is created by Twain's use of dialect?

What is the most accurate summary of "Minerva and Arachne"?
A.When Arachne weaves, forest nymphs show up to watch. One day, a nymph is watching Arachne weave and says,
"You must have learned from Minerva." Arachne becomes angry
with the nymph. All of the nymphs gasp in shock when Arachne screams that she has
taught herself to weave.
B.Arachne boasts that she is a better weaver than the Roman goddess Minerva. Minerva dresses as an old woman, intent on scolding Arachne for being so disrespectful to a goddess. Realizing Arachne is, indeed, a superior weaver, the furious Minerva turns the girl into the first spider.
C.Arachne is an excellent weaver. To trick her, Minerva comes to Arachne by walking with a cane. When she and Minerva have a weaving contest, they sit facing each other. Minerva weaves scenes of gods and goddesses. Then, she rips Arachne's cloth. Arachne becomes a spider for all eternity.
Arachne thinks that she weaves better than the Roman goddess Minerva. Arachne and
Minerva weave to see who is more skilled! When Minerva sees that Arachne's skills are
greater, she angrily turns Arachne into a spider. Arachne is very foolish to disrespect or challenge a powerful goddess.
