Paraphrase the following poem: (20 points)

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
’Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

This poem is from a black person's perspective that is very sure that no matter what the past brought to her and her ancestors she is stating that she understands her true value as a human being.  The metaphors are very graphic and add to the poem.

Explanation: This poet is confronting the reader by asking questions about how her confidence may offend some people.  I believe it is a poem about being black and overcoming the obstacles that most people do not understand.

Answers

Maybe you have some sort of allergy. This isn't always the case, maybe you got water up your nose and its coming back out, or maybe you have fluids that need to leave your body. Or just maybe you're sick. In which case wear a mask when going outside.

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

Depends on where you are. I have the same problem. The humidity where I live (inside) is about 20%. The room itself is in the 80s. That's low and your nose will tend to run. It is not necessarily the Virus, but I would go check it out if your jurisdiction allows for testing. I've had both my shots, so I think my nose just runs because of the low humidity.

thinking about my future could be such a chore.

Answers

Answer:

think about what major you want to go into

certain colleges are better for certain majors

why would she be pushy tho? she shouldn't be doing that...how much time do you have left before u go to college?

Answer: Oh No!

Explanation:

It's totally normal for you not to have a narrow list of colleges. I have been doing soooo much college prep, and I barely even have a list of the actual colleges I'm prepping for. Try thinking of what your passionate about, or what you could see yourself doing in the future. With this information check what your list of colleges have available to you, and eliminate based on that. You could also put into consideration the location and financial aspect of each college. That should help you get a good understanding of which colleges would be reasonable for you. And regarding your counselor, there is no reason for her to be putting more pressure on your shoulders, that's literally the opposite of what she's supposed to do. Maybe explain to her that her pushy mannerisms aren't helping you get anywhere. Good Luck!

Hope this helps!

Answers

Answer:

Online learning is giving people new choices and newfound flexibility with their personal learning and development. Whereas before, formal academic qualifications could only be gained by participating in a full time course on site, the internet has allowed institutions to expand their reach and offer recognized courses on a contact-partial, or totally virtual, basis.

There is another argument that is very difficult to dispel, and that is the response of different types of students to the online learning paradigm. Evidence shows that there are certain groups of students that benefit from college distance learning much more than other groups. In essence, students must be highly motivated and highly disciplined if they are to learn effectively in their own private environment.

Which animal has a breed called 'Pekingese'???​

Answers

Answer:

Alternative Title: lion dog

Explanation:

Pekingese, breed of toy dog developed in ancient China, where it was held sacred and was kept as a palace dog by members of the imperial family. It was introduced to the West by English forces that looted the Imperial Palace at Peking (Beijing) in 1860. The Pekingese has been known, both in the East and in the West, as the “lion dog”—presumably because of its appearance, although it is also acclaimed as having lionlike independence and courage. It stands about 6 to 9 inches (15 to 23 cm) and weighs up to about 14 pounds (6.5 kg). The celebrated “sleeve dogs” are very small Pekingese once carried by Chinese royalty in the sleeves of their robes. A long-haired dog, the Pekingese has a full mane and heavily haired thighs, forelegs, tail, and toes. Its head is broad and flat, with hanging ears and a short, wrinkled muzzle. The coat may be solid or variegated in colour, but there is always a black mask across the face.

How are you displaying compassion during these times?
It’s for summer school:/
(Has to be At least 5 sentences long)

Answers

Answer:

Compassion is a genuine sympathy for hardship or suffering other people are experiencing, and a desire to ease that pain. There are many different ways to show compassion for others, but the important thing to remember is that it comes from your heart.

Practice showing compassion by first ignoring differences and finding commonalities, which will help you relate to what someone else is going through. Whether you're interacting with a friend, colleague, peer, patient, or family member

Explanation:

When I entered the ninth-grade English classroom, I had a clear vision of the first-year teacher I wanted to be: a strict, but thoughtful, educator who held students accountable for their behavior in the classroom. While my intentions were not flawed, the execution of this teaching style was poor, and left my students with a different impression of me: apathetic.

Rather than showing my students I was attempting to serve both their needs and my own with my classroom rules and expectations, I introduced my classroom management strategies as a series of consequences. I expressed no compassion for my students, and did not address them as trustworthy young adults.

I just try give a answer , but I think it's not the ... but still ur welcome

The way I display compassion is by writing letters to my neighbors to tell them how they are and how they feel. I also send random strangers letters with magazines inside with a subject of conversation to talk about, most of my conversations are always about intellectual matters such as the Bible. I like to keep people informed, I also tell neighbors if they have any questions to ask me because I like to research a lot. Another thing I enjoy to do is to give consolation to people. The Bible teaches many wonderful things about God and his purpose for the future. So, I phone call people during these times to tell them about Gods purpose for us. For example: Revelation 21: 4,5 says: “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away. And the one who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” What is God talking about here? He talks of a future paradise! Not a heaven, not a hell. God promises humans that after the day of judgement only the loyal and good will remain on the Earth and shall enjoy of it eternally. And, while we reside in it we won’t suffer from death or suffering. Also, God will create new things with his own hands again for humankind. Another text Izeah 11: 6-9 states: “The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling[a] together; and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the cobra’s den, and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” This is a prophecy for the future, God promises that animals will be at peace with each other and that they won’t be any threat for us anymore in future paradise. Also, Jesus said in Luke 23: 43 to the man next to him on the stake: “Truly I tell you today, you will be with me in paradise.” Jesus told the dying man on the stake next to him that he would be in a future paradise.
