<em>“Poverty is an acid that drips on pride until all pride is worn away. Poverty is a chisel that chips on honor until honor is worn away. Some of you say that you would do something in my situation, and maybe you would, for the first week or the first month, but for year after year after year?"</em>

Answer: Usually when you research, your teacher may ask what the URL ends with. If it ends in .com, it could potentially be a hazard due to the fact that anyone can make a .com website. But if you can back it up with facts and proof, it should be fine. On a research website, most people look for .org or .gov because those are official sites made by trusted people. Also, its nice to know so you can cite your sources.

March 12, 2021.
The Chairman,
Osisioma Ngwa Local Government Area,
Aba.
Sir,
PETITION AGAINST THE PLANNED CLOSURE OF OSISIOMA ORPHANAGE HOME
It has come to my knowledge that Osisioma Ngwa Local Government Area intends to close down the Osisioman Orphanage Home due to scarcity of funds to continue the smooth running of the orphanage home.
Sir, I wish to remind you that the well-being of the people is the primary responsibility of government. Osisioma Ngwa Local Government Area has the highest number of homeless children and orphans in Abia State. Closure of this orphanage implies that these children will be sent out to the street without anyone to carter for them.
The danger of having such massive number of children out on the streets is that they may be turned into criminals by unscrupulous elements in society who seek to exploit the vulnerability of this group of people to achieve their selfish ends.
We are already overwhelmed by the current security challenges in this part of the state, we definitely do not want to create more problems for ourselves by churning out potential hoodlums from this orphanage home.
I beg you sir to rescind your earlier decision and allow the orphanage home to continue in the interest of common good.
Thanks in anticipation of your positive response.
Yours Faithfully,
Jude Njoku
Read the excerpt from "The Story of a Warrior Queen."
When Boadicea saw that all hope was gone, she called her daughters to her. "My children," she said sadly, as she took them by the hand and drew them towards her, "my children, it has not pleased the gods of battle to deliver us from the power of the Romans. But there is yet one way of escape." Tears were in her blue eyes as she kissed her daughters. She was no longer a queen of fury but a loving mother.
Which archetype does Boadicea, the queen of the Britons, best represent?
a. the sage
B) the rebel
C) the tragic heroine
d. the villain
Answer:
C. The tragic heroine
Explanation:
An archetype simply means a similar example of something, or what someone embodies.
From this excerpt of "The Story of a Warrior Queen", Queen Boadicea was about to lose a battle and saw that all hope was lost, so in a desperate moment, she brought her daughters to her and told them that there was no way to win this battle because the gods were against them, but she had one last trick up her sleeve.
This is the perfect archetype of the tragic heroine.
