The chapter that takes place seven years later is Chapter 13.
Answer:
1. What did the man think when the boy did not return at once?
<u>The man thought that the boy ran away with the money.</u>
2. What took the boy too long to return?
<u>The boy lost the money, so he had to clean the utensils of the tea vendor to have the cup of tea.</u>
3. What do you think the man felt after knowing it? Why?
<u>I think that he felt bad about himself because he judged the boy by his appearance.</u>
4. Does his experience reflect bias or prejudice? Why?
<u>His experience reflects prejudice because he judged the boy by his attire. He had the prejudice that poor or pathetically dressed boys are thefts.</u>
5. How can we avoid this kind of situation?
<u>We can avoid this kind of situation by learning through different experiences and texts, like this story. Also, we should reflect on our actions and thoughts to identify prejudices and work on them.</u>
Explanation:
1.We can see that the man thought that the boy ran away with the money in the fourth paragraph when he says, "Now I was sure that the child ran away the money..."
2. The answer to question number two is in the last paragraph when the boy explains what happened "He told me, he lost the 5 rupees coin and so he had to clean the utensils of the tea vendor, to bring me a cup of tea."
3. It is not in the story, but we can infer that he felt bad since he judged someone wrong and unfairly since the boy was not a thief. He only was pathetically dressed.
4. We can see that his experience reflects prejudice since he has a concept in his mind about people dressed in dirty and torn clothes. He relates the appearance of someone with traits, so there's prejudice because he is judging the boy without knowing him.
5. There are many ways to avoid these situations. One of them is by educating ourselves and reflecting on our thought and actions. We can do this in different ways. For example, by reading, talking with others about their experiences and point of view, or thinking about our actions.
KYEBI, Ghana — Below the towering mahogany trees that blanket this lush mountainside, hidden beneath the brown-red soil, lie millions of tons of very valuable rock.
This world-renowned forest reserve, called the Atewa, is the source of three major rivers that provide water to 5 million people. It is also home to an estimated 165 million tons of bauxite, a sedimentary rock used to create aluminum products such as aircraft parts, kitchen utensils and beer cans.

Ghana’s leaders want to mine the bauxite, which they see as the country’s ticket to economic growth, thanks to a big-name partner — China. Campaigners and water experts say the environmental cost is too high: Mining would taint the water, they claim.
“When you take the mountain off, you change the hydrology and ecology,” said Ronald Abrahams, a chief officer of the Water Resources Commission, the government agency tasked with managing the use of Ghana’s water resources. “It will not be the same. It will change everything, and we won't have a source of a river which is so reliable and has served this nation for ages.”
Ghana is looking to mine bauxite to uphold what it calls a barter deal with China’s Sinohydro Corp. Limited. Sinohydro delivers $2 billion worth of infrastructure projects across the country, which Ghana would pay back with proceeds from the sale of the refined bauxite. (The Ghanaian government’s plans include building a refinery to process the raw bauxite.)
China is the top buyer of minerals and rocks from Africa, pouring tens of billions of dollars into mining across the continent over the past decade — an investment that has fueled the country’s reign as the world’s largest aluminum producer.
The Asian powerhouse is also Africa’s biggest funder of infrastructure projects. It has pledged reams of cash for roads, bridges, power plants and oil refineries.

These buyer and funder identities often intersect as China offers big-ticket loans in exchange for access to lucrative resources in Ghana, Guinea, the Congo and beyond. But analysts say the high-profile deals, touted by both Chinese and African officials as a shared path to prosperity, rarely lift the continent’s poorest residents and can harm the environment.
Neither the Chinese government, through its embassy in the Ghanaian capital, Accra, nor Sinohydro, which is a state-owned corporation, responded to requests for comment.
Much is unknown about the government’s mining plans in the Atewa, a 90-square-mile tract of mountainous forestland. The three major rivers that originate there — the Densu, Birim and Ayensu — provide drinking water to three regions of Ghana, including to the 1 million people in Accra.
Bauxite typically is found in the topsoil and extracted through strip mining, which requires removing layers of soil and rock to access the minerals below. Elsewhere, bauxite mining has had devastating consequences. A 2018 Human Rights Watch report on bauxite mining in Guinea found that the country’s dozens of open-pit operations had destroyed farmlands, damaged water sources, and coated homes and crops in dust.
Environmental campaigners warn that if mining in the Atewa begins, runoff from the operations would contaminate the three rivers and smaller streams and would pollute surrounding areas with bauxite dust. Ultimately, they fear the evergreen forest — with its waterfalls and rare butterflies, frogs and monkeys — will disappear.
Their worries were reinforced in March when the U.S. Forest Service visited the Atewa to provide technical consultation to Ghana’s government. Its report said mining could lead to a “potential s.
