For Laurie, baking cookies was a common thing, designed to bring a little happiness on random days. However, after meeting Maurice, cooking cookies and became a way to show care and affection among people.

Although you haven't shown it, we can see that this question is about the book "An Invisible Thread." When we read this book, we have access to the following information:

  • The book tells the story of how Laurie and Maurice met and ended up impacting each other's lives.
  • Maurice was a boy who lived in a violent and dangerous place.
  • His mother was involved in drug trafficking and he and his brother lived without any form of adult supervision.
  • Furthermore, they had no money, were very hungry, and had no prospects for life.
  • Laurie was a woman who had an ordinary life, with nothing very significant.
  • However, Laurie had a stable life and had better economic and social opportunities than Mauricie.
  • One day they met and Laurie decided to help Maurice overcome the difficulties in his life.
  • Maurice taught Laurie several lessons about life, caring for people, and happiness.

Maurice gave a new meaning to many things in Laurie's life, such as baking cookies, which for her was just something silly, that although it brought happiness, it was nothing special, but Maurice showed how baking cookies is affectionate and bonding between people.

disa [49]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Often times when we study the Civil Rights Movement, we focus on well-known individuals like MLK and Rosa Parks. But in reality, the success of the Movement was a combination of group and individual actions of people who really committed to fighting for the rights of African Americans.

There were powerful organizations that participated in the movement such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) or the Leadership Conference of Civil Rights(LCCR) who played an important role in the process.

There were also other major events that are marked as important hiatus in the story of the civil rights moments. I am talking about the Greensboro sit-ins, the March on Washington, or the Salma to Mongomery Marches.

Regarding Rosa Parks, let's remember that Rosa Parks was the woman arrested in Montgomery, Alabama in 1955. She denied giving her seat to a white passenger in a bus. That was the beginning of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
