An excerpt is a passage that has been cited verbatim from a book, novel, poetry, short story, essay, speech, or other literary work and is used to illustrate a point to the reader.

As you search for the best focus and scope for an essay, you zoom in and out of an imaginary map of a topic. Choose a general topic and describe the “map” as it would look from a zoomed out and zoomed in perspective.

Answers

Answer:

From a zoomed out perspective the map would look smalle and the lines on it but look skinny but when you zoom in the lines will be more detailed in you can this see the detail on the map better.

Answer:

The topic i decided on was “success”  

Zoomed out : the first thing you think of when you think of success if usually money and/or fame

Zoomed in : you realize that the popular idea of success is just surface level. No one thinks about the struggles you go through to get there. No one thinks about the different types of success. For example, you can be poor but successful just as several Nobel Peace prize winners.

Can somebody tell me what they did in the own words please I need these right now bourbon triumvirate ?

Answers

The term Bourbon Triumvirate refers to Georgia's three most powerful and prominent politicians of the post-Reconstruction era: Joseph E. Brown, Alfred H. Colquitt, and John B. Gordon. This trio practically held a lock on the state's U.S. Senate seats and governor's office from 1872 to 1890: Brown as senator from 1880 until 1890; Colquitt as governor from 1876 through 1882, and as senator from 1883 until 1894; and Gordon as senator from 1872 until 1880, governor from 1886 until 1890, and senator again from 1891 until 1897. The political careers of all three men benefited from their service during the Civil War (1861-65); Brown had served as the governor of Confederate Georgia, and Colquitt and Gordon had both risen to the rank of major general in the Confederate army by the war's end.

Political and Economic Interests

Joseph E. Brown

Joseph E. Brown

Colquitt, one of the state's leading planters, cast himself as a representative of the interests of the old planter class, while Brown, an industrialist who became one of Georgia's first millionaires, represented the New South businessmen. Gordon had a mixed record as a businessman and a worse record as a planter, but Gordon excelled at espousing the New South rhetoric of commercial and industrial development by shrewdly exploiting the Lost Cause of the Confederacy.

All three men had extensive interests in the railroad and coal-mining industries, among other commercial pursuits. All three championed white supremacy; a frugal state government that demanded little of taxpayers, and accordingly provided few services; and the maintenance of subservient labor forces on farms and in factories. Gordon and especially Brown both made use of convict labor in their industrial enterprises.

And reachin’ landin’s,
And turnin’ corners,
And sometimes goin’ in the dark
Where there ain’t been no light.
So boy, don’t you turn back.
Don’t you set down on the steps
‘Cause you finds it’s kinder hard.
Don’t you fall now —
For I’se still goin’, honey,

Explanation:

Explain what the diagram shows about how d0ped blood is different from normal blood

Answers

there are more red blood cells in the the bloodstream

Answer:

Blood doping rises the amount of hemoglobin in the bloodstream. Hemoglobin is an oxygen -carrying protein in the blood. So rising hemoglobin allows higher amounts of oxygen to reach and charge an athlete’s muscles. This can develop strength and performance, particularly in long-distance events, such as running and cycling. Whereas a red blood cell count in a normal blood would be around:
Men- 4.0 to 5.9 x 10*12/L
Women- 3.8 to 5.2 x 10*12/L

Explanation:

Blood doping is an illicit method of developing athletic performance by artificially boosting the blood’s ability to bring more oxygen to muscles.
The three vastly used types of blood doping are:
Blood transfusions
Injections of erythropoietin (EPO)
Injections of synthetic oxygen carriers
Blood transfusions: Transfusions are given to patients who undergo from low red blood cell counts caused by anemia, kidney failure, blood loss due to injury or surgery and other conditions or treatments.
EPO injections: EPO is a hormone assembled by the kidney. It regulates the body’s production of RBCs. Athletes using EPO do so to stimulate their bodies to produce higher than normal amounts of RBCs to improve performance.
Synthetic oxygen carriers: These are chemicals that have the capability to carry oxygen. It is used when a patient is in need of  blood transfusion. Athletes use synthetic oxygen carriers to achieve the same performance-improving effects of other types of blood doping; increased oxygen in the blood that helps fuel muscles.
