Read the passage from "Names/Nombres" by Julia Alvarez.

By the time I was in high school, I was a popular kid, and it showed in my name. Friends called me Jules or Hey Jude, and once a group of troublemaking friends my mother forbade me to hang out with called me Alcatraz. I was Hoo-lee-tah only to Mami and Papi and uncles and aunts who came over to eat sancocho on Sunday afternoons – old world folk whom I would just as soon go back to where they came from and leave me to pursue whatever mischief I wanted to in America. JUDY ALCATRAZ, the name on the "Wanted" poster would read. Who would ever trace her to me?

I NEED THIS FAST!!! Which main idea is conveyed in this passage?

Julia’s nicknames help her fit into her new culture.
Julia is determined to hold on to her Dominican identity.
Julia is happier when she is with her family.
Julia’s Dominican name makes it difficult to fit in.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Answer 2

The main idea conveyed in the passage is Julia’s nicknames help her fit into her new culture.  The opening line of the chapter claims that Julia was a popular student in high school and that her name reflected such popularity.  Hence option A is correct.

Her close pals referred to her as Hey Jude or Jules, both of which are American names. The paragraph also indicates that she was given the nickname Alcatraz by a bunch of rowdy friends, which is an Americanized form of her Dominican name, Hoo-lee-tah.

The chapter continues by stating that Julia's family members referred to her as Hoo-lee-tah, although she would just as soon have them return home. This shows that Julia is attempting to adapt to American society while putting space between herself and her Dominican roots.

I need to sort these whether they should be in a summary or not
Please I will give BRAINLEST and 50 points

Answers

Answer:

#1) “avoids interpretation or judgment”. #2) “includes an introductory statement” is the correct option since an informative text should provide facts, dates, and statistics of a given topic, and also the summary of this type of text should include an introductory statement of the topic discussed. #3) it “includes the main ideas of original texts”, this should not be included in the summary of an informational text as we are referring to a summary and not to the development of main ideas from other texts.   An informational text should not include a subjective voice or provide a point of view on what is being informed. Also, no personal opinions should be allowed. #4) “provides interpretation or judgment”. #5) “uses subjective voice” is not part of an informational text.

Answer:

1.) avoids interpretation or judgment.

2.) includes an introductory statement; this is the correct option since an informative text should provide facts, dates, and statistics on a given topic, and also the summary of this type of text should include an introductory statement of the topic discussed.

3.) it includes the main ideas of original texts; this should not be included in the summary of an informational text as we are referring to a summary and not to the development of main ideas from other texts.

write one paragraph (75 to 125 words in length) that describes how your understanding of Egyptian history has changed.

Answers

For over 3,000 years, from around 3100 B.C. to 30 B.C., Ancient Egypt in North Africa was one of the most powerful and influential civilizations in the region. It left behind a plethora of monuments, documents, and works of art that are still being studied by scholars today. Ancient Egypt was closely connected with other parts of the world, bringing in and exporting goods, religions, food, people and ideas. At times ancient Egypt ruled territory outside the modern-day country's border, controlling territory in what is now Sudan, Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria, Israel and Palestine. While Egypt's rulers, language, writing, climate, religion, and borders have all changed over the millennia, the country still exists today. Ancient Egypt maintained close ties with the rest of the world, importing and exporting goods, religions, food, people, and ideas.

Informational Writing on Why should we feed wild bird with limit.

Answers

Note on writing informational writing:

Introduction

You need to hook your readers’ attention by: Starting off with an interesting fact. Or by using anecdotal stories from one of the articles.

Introduce the main ideas you will be discussing in the body of your essay.

Explain the purpose of your writing. Useful sentence starters:

       The purpose of this essay is to explain…

       In this essay, I aim to inform ...

      This essay aims to explain…

Answer/Explanation:

Have you ever wanted to feed the Wild birds that sometimes visit your backyard? There are many things you should know before feeding wild birds. Firstly make sure that they are fed correctly. Secondly, make sure that the Birds have access to drinkable water. Thirdly, give special attention to improve Wild Birds habitats that are in your backyard. Lastly, Wilds Birds can become dependent on the handouts so you must have a limit on feeding them. The Purpose of this essay is to explain what you should know before feeding wild birds.

It is critical to pay attention to the nutritional content of the food that is fed to wild birds. Referring to the Author of “Stop Feeding Wild Birds” Humans usually feed birds food that is low in protein. Foods such as Bread, Crackers, and popcorn are low protein foods.  According to the evidence, I can infer that if we don’t pay attention to the food we give to wild birds, they may end up getting diseases and could potentially. Some of these illnesses may even end up in death or extinction which affect the wild birds population.

Next, attention needs to be given to the improvement of the habitats of wild birds in your backyard.The Author of “For the Birds” states that you may wish to improve the habitat in your yard so that more birds visit your property. You can attract birds by placing bird feeders, nest boxes and birdbaths in your backyard and by planting a variety of trees, shrubs, and flowers. As a result, these can provide good nesting sites,winter shelter, places to hide from predators, and natural food supplies that are available year-round. Therefore more birds would like to visit your property.

Also, Wild Birds can become dependent on handouts. The Author of “Stop Feeding Wild Birds” states that Wild Birds can become dependent on the handouts and when this happens their behaviors change. As a result Many become aggressive as they struggle to compete for their share and lose their wariness of humans and eventually their wildness.

In conclusion, Don't worry if you must stop feeding briefly while traveling, for example. In all but the most severe weather conditions, wild birds will find other food in your absence, particularly in suburban areas where other bird feeders are just a short flight away. However, leaving your feeders up year-round with proper care is not a problem as long as you keep things in mind: If bears live near you, you should not keep feeders up during the warmer months.

Answer:

Explanation:

Nonfiction is a style of writing in which every line is factual and researched.  Textbooks are nonfiction, as they write about real events and people and information that has been gathered and fact-checked over periods of time.

Historical fiction, which this passage could be classified as, is a style of writing where the setting takes place during a time in history and the plot relates to past events, however the characters are not real, historical figures.

An American Plague by Jim Murphy is a nonfiction novel. The two accounts in the passage provided in the question allows a deeper insight into the reality of the events that took place. In the passage:

George Washington's impatience and anxiety about the fever is discusses, letting you know how he felt at the timeHis emotions give some extra details about how it felt experiencing the event

The passage does not:

José had looked forward to his first day of high school for as long as he could remember. Not only would he get to experience interesting classes and a stimulating social life, but he would also be able to enlist in the Student Activities Coordination Committee, which his older sister had been raving about for years.
On the first day of day of school, José spied a banner for the Student Activities Coordination Club and rushed over to investigate. He found a sign-up sheet for the group and scrawled his name on the list, pondering which activities he wished to plan.
At the committee’s annual inaugural meeting, the president and committee officers introduced themselves and detailed their plans for many of the committee’s regular activities. Then the president announced that she wanted to create a new activity this year, something to get the group more involved with volunteering and with the community. José inquisitively listened to the president’s request.
The president asked the members to think of a few ideas to tell at another meeting later in the week. José departed from the meeting pondering how his group could positively affect the community. José and his family had volunteered many times in the past. His parents had always instilled in him the idea that volunteering is invaluable because it makes the community a better place.
José tried to draw on his volunteering experiences to help him think of an activity for the committee. José reminisced about the time he doled out piping hot meals at a soup kitchen. He contemplated the time he and his dad had planted lush, green trees in the park. Suddenly, José recalled another volunteering experience. A number of years ago, he and his family had volunteered at the Bristol County Animal Shelter. While volunteering there, José had prepared food, washed animals, and cleaned the cages. He remembered that it was one of his favorite volunteering experiences.
José realized that the shelter had meager operating funds and that it relied on the generosity of the public to survive. This gave José a wonderful idea. He decided to suggest that the committee commence a walk-a-thon to raise money for the animal shelter!
At the committee meeting, members presented their ideas to the group. José wasn’t certain that his idea would be chosen because there were so many worthy causes mentioned by other students. When José had his chance to speak, he relayed his experiences volunteering at the shelter and gave a brief overview of his idea for the walk-a-thon; everyone adored his idea.
Upon hearing the news of the committee’s plans, the animal shelter workers were overjoyed. They asked if they could attend the event with some of the animals from the shelter. Over the next weeks and months, José led a team of his peers in planning and developing the plans for the walk-a-thon. They designed posters to advertise their cause and displayed them in local establishments all over town. They enlisted the help of their fellow students, friends, and family to find volunteers to walk and sponsors to donate money. They even solicited food and beverage donations so that all participants would have refreshments to enjoy.
On the day of the event, hundreds of people—and a few animals—arrived at the school’s track field to complete the walk. The turnout alone almost took José’s breath away, not to mention the enormous sum of money raised for the animal shelter; the event was a huge success. At the end of day, José gazed at the scene before him and smiled with pleasure, wondering if anything to come during the rest of his high school career could possibly provide him with a more valuable experience.

1) Read this paragraph from the draft. Which would be the appropriate ending for this paragraph?
A) José was excited that the workers were attending the event, and he hoped to see some of his friends from the shelter.
B) The plans for the walk were coming together, and José and the other committee members waited with anticipation.

The effects on families
During WWII an estimated 200,000 or more Japanese people were killed and a lot were left homeless. Due to this, as well as the firebombing of Tokyo and fathers being in the military, many families were torn apart and separated from each other. In the movie, Seita and Setsuko’s father was in the military and they were separated from their mother after she died due to the firebombings. All families were under a lot of stress. They had to look after each other and only got small, indecent rations of food to share around. Some families looked after the children of other lost family members and some just took in abandoned children who had lost both parents. Because Seita and Setsuko lost both of their parents they went to their aunt’s house so she could care for them. In WWII women and children had to help in the war effort. Children had to do various tasks around their community during this time. They manufactured things for the soldiers such as uniforms, weapons and other various goods. Children also pulled down houses to create firebreaks and rebuilt other houses inside that area. Younger children might have done small errands for the soldiers to get more food for their families. Seita and Setsuko didn’t go out to work and their aunt accused them of not earning their food. Their aunt had the rest of her family to look after as well and because they went out to work she thought it was only fair that they get more food.

First of all, dogs are affectionate and fun companions. They will cuddle up to their owners to be petted. These loving animals are always ready for a hug or pat on the head. If they get the chance, some will even give their human friends a sloppy, wet kiss! Most dogs are playful, too. They love to chase sticks and fetch balls. According to the Humane Society, thirty nine percent of U.S. households own at least one dog. So it is no secret that dogs provide hours of enthusiastic entertainment and companionship.
Secondly, many dogs are protective of their owners. In addition to cuddling and fetching, dog lovers appreciate the protective nature of many canines. Many dogs bark to alert owners when someone comes to their home. A dog owner often feels safer just knowing he has a loyal dog willing to protect its family or alert them of danger. If barking becomes a problem, most dogs can be trained to limit annoying yapping.
Lastly, one of the best features of dogs is that they are great exercise partners. Dogs love to go on walks. Responsible pet owners understand that dogs need plenty of exercise. Daily walks can keep dogs happy and healthy. Of course, dog lovers benefit from this fitness plan, too. Having an energetic partner is great motivation to get off the couch and get moving.
1) Which conclusion is BEST supported by the information in the text?
A) Simply stated, dogs are ideal pets. They are loving, fun, protective, and energetic companions. A pet is a big responsibility, but worth it.
B) Dogs are difficult to care for. They can be costly, loud, and unruly. The best option for a pet is a quiet cat or a small hamster.

Read the fable The Fox and the Stork by Aesop to complete the activity.


At one time the Fox and the Stork were on visiting terms and seemed very good friends. So the Fox invited the Stork to dinner, and for a joke put nothing before her but some soup in a very shallow dish. This the Fox could easily lap up, but the Stork could only wet the end of her long bill in it and left the meal as hungry as when she began. "I am sorry," said the Fox, "the soup is not to your liking." "Pray do not apologize," said the Stork. "I hope you will return this visit and come and dine with me soon." So a day was appointed when the Fox should visit the Stork; but when they were seated at table all that was for their dinner was contained in a very long-necked jar with a narrow mouth, in which the Fox could not insert his snout, so all he could manage to do was to lick the outside of the jar.

What is The Fox and the Stork?

The Fox and the Stork is one of Aesop's fables and is first recorded in the collection of Phaedrus. It is numbered 426 in the Perry Index.

A fox invites a stork to eat with him and provides soup in a bowl, which the fox can lap up easily; however, the stork cannot drink it with its beak. The stork then invites the fox to a meal, which is served in a narrow-necked vessel. It is easy for the stork to access but impossible for the fox.

The moral is that the trickster must expect trickery in return and that the golden rule of conduct is for one to do to others what one would wish for oneself.

How has Simone Biles coped with the pressures of fame?

Answers

Explanation: As a three-time World Champion, Simone Biles was expected by many to take home the gold in Rio in 2016.

The odds have swiftly turned the 19-year-old into a media darling, which is why she is the latest star to grace the cover of TIME magazine - and is branded in the headline as 'The Game Changer'.

She is so far ahead of the pack that even 2008 Olympic all-around gold medalist Nastia Liukin claims that the 4'8 Texan phenom is 'in a caliber with nobody else in the world'.

However, in an interview with TIME, Simone revealed that there is one serious downside to being the best in the world. ' I feel like it’s harder because everyone knows I’m the three-time world champion - it’s almost like people are waiting for something bad to happen,' she said. 'That kind of stresses me out a bit.'

And the pressure isn't just on Simone to win the individual all-around gold. She will also be expected to help defend the Team gold that the legendary Fierce Five won at the London 2012 Games.

She will be joined in the task by the current Olympic all-around champion Gabby Douglas, her fellow Fierce Five teammate Aly Raisman, and two other Olympic debuts: Laurie Hernandez, 16, and Madison Kocian, 19.
