Example from text to support topic sentence: "Last week, as my best friend Areliss and I headed to class, a group of college protesters blocked our path."

What point of view does Shirley Jackson use in “The Lottery?” How does this point of view impact the reader?
Answer: I dont fully remeber the story, but this is the best answer i can give
Explanation: Tradition means doing something over and over for a long time ussualy within family or culture. Tradition can be dangerous because lets say you had a tradition to maybe play russian roulette every year there is a risk of injury or death. The setting of the lottery is in a small town where its sunny and has a good mood before the story starts. 2. The steps taken to insure the proper execution of the lottery is that everyone in the town has to gather and draw slips of paper. 3. What are the opinions of at least two townspeople regarding the lottery. Their opinions are that some people like as long as they are not the ones chosen. The mom in the story had won the lottery, and inturn had died from being stoned to death. I think they do this because of population control, or maybe they are sadistic

What technique does Miller use to provide important information about the recent activities of several village girls? Explain.
Answer:
A technique Miller use to provide important information about the recent activities of several village girls is explained below in detail.
Explanation:
Miller consolidates a dramatic paradox that is humorous and appealing in order to present the viewers' sense as if they are more intelligent than the personas in the entertainment. The evidence that the viewers understand that the indictments occurred in history, and these characters were dramatizations of the real personalities, presents it a bit appealing.

Read the excerpt from the story Swimming with Sharks: A Galapagos Adventure:
Steven's parents were both scientists who were researching the endangered pink fairy armadillo, a species found in Argentina. Steven, his brother, Nick, and his parents had just spent a month living in a tent on the outskirts of the rain forest in Argentina. Because the family traveled so much, Steven and his brother attended school online. Doing homework in the humid rain forest with bugs bigger than hamburger buns flying around and an internet connection that kept cutting out was not Steven or Nick's idea of a good time. They pressed on since they knew how important it was to stay in school, especially if they wanted to be scientists just like their parents. As a reward for putting up with the uncomfortable stay in the rain forest, their parents had planned a family vacation to the Galapagos Islands once their research was complete. The boys were so excited for this new adventure since they had never been to this area of the world before.
The plane landed, and the passengers stepped outside. Steven could already tell that this trip was going to be amazing. The weather was less humid than the rain forest and the sun was shining. He grinned at his parents and took a deep breath before he started talking a mile a minute.
"I can't wait to meet some sharks!" he exclaimed. "I just know I'll find the albino whale shark. It's"
"One of the rarest sharks in the world, we all know!" interrupted Nick. "You've talked about nothing else since we planned this trip weeks ago!"
"Now Nick, be nice to your brother," their dad scolded. "He's excited, and he should be. Seeing a rare creature like the albino whale shark is definitely worth getting excited about."
"I'm excited, too!" their mom said enthusiastically. "I can't wait to see the giant tortoises. Some of them live to be centuries old. Who knows? Maybe one of them actually met Charles Darwin."
They took a ferry from Baltra Island to Santa Cruz, where their hotel was located. After dropping off their luggage, they were ready to see the giant tortoises in the nature reserve.

PLZ ANSWER ASAP!!! Charlie commutes from Gardentown to Workton for work. He makes the journey
every day Monday to Friday, and also has to go to work every third Saturday. He never
goes to Workton on Sundays, and nor does he ever go apart from going to work.
If Charlie buys the tickets that keep his travel costs as low as possible, how much will
this cost him for a three-week period?
Answer:
$55.50
Explanation:
For a ticket that keeps travel cost as low as possible :
Since he only goes to work every third Saturday ;
A day return journey traveling Saturday or Sunday is better : $3.00
Since he goes to work everyday from Monday to friday:
A rover ticket for (Monday _ Friday) option is best : Cost = $17.50
Cost per week for 3 weeks(Monday - Friday) ; Hence,
$17.50 * 3
= $52.50
Total cost For 3 weeks :
Cost per week for 3 weeks (Monday - Friday) + cost of one saturday:
$52.50 + $3.00
= $55.50

Schoology folder. IF YOU JUST HERE FOR POINTS YOU GETTING REPORTED IF ANSWER CORRECT YOU GET BRAINLIEST
Answer:
Explanation:
Young Gifted and Black is a collection of five essays written by three authors that focus on identifying the unique challenges African-American face in institutionalized racism embedded in our schools, what it means when they commit themselves to high achievement and how schools can change their programs to create culturally responsive classes that support all children. Perry uses various narratives to combat the common misconception concerning African-American students and presents theories of group achievement with descriptions and analysis. Steele presents a couple experiments that he and his team designed and preformed to assess the issue of stereotype threat on the testing performance of students. Unlike most written presentations of psychological research it uses an informal voice that makes the information easily comprehensible.
The first two sections regarding pre- and post-Civil Rights black education and the relationship between stereotype threat and achievement were pretty informative and well-argued. The last section made me question the author’s argument that raising achievement is as simple as he states. If I read another essay/article/book where the author recommends further overworking underpaid teachers and suggests that they all be content specialists in their field as the solution to bridging the gap between low performance and excellence, my eyes are going to roll so much they fall out.
Theresa Perry brilliantly approached the topics of “literacy for freedom, and freedom for literacy” during slavery, and the contextual and cultural impact of perceived Black intellectual inferiority among society. I particularly enjoyed her discussion on slaves learning to read, and how that dynamic of yearning to achieve (via reading) has been lost.

Explanation:
Angela wants to know how many families in her neighborhood plan to attend the parade. She puts all 120 of the neighborhood addresses in a hat and draws a random sample of 30 addresses. She then asks those families if they plan to attend the parade. She finds that 40% of the families plan to attend the parade. She claims that 40% of the neighborhood families would be expected to attend the parade. Is this a valid inference?
Yes, this is a valid inference because the 30 families speak for the whole neighborhood
Yes, this is a valid inference because she took a random sample of the neighborhood
No, this is not a valid inference because she did not take a random sample of the neighborhood
No, this is not a valid inference because she asked only 30 families
Answer:
Yes, this is a valid inference because she took a random sample of the neighborhood.
Answer:
B. Yes, this is a valid inference because she took a random sample of the neighborhood
Explanation:
A. Yes, this is a valid inference because the 30 families speak for the whole neighborhood - This is not correct because the families she asked do not speak for the whole neighborhood
C. No, this is not a valid inference because she did not take a random sample of the neighborhood - She did take random samples so this is not the answer "She puts all 120 of the neighborhood addresses in a hat and draws a random sample of 30 addresses."
D. No, this is not a valid inference because she asked only 30 families - I don't believe she needs to asked the whole neighborhood or more people because she did a random pull
