. . . I was so determined not to try, not to be anybody different that I learned to play only the most ear-splitting preludes, t

he most discordant hymns. . . . For the talent show, I was to play a piece called "Pleading Child" from Schumann's Scenes from Childhood. It was a simple, moody piece that sounded more difficult than it was. I was supposed to memorize the whole thing, playing the repeat parts twice to make the piece sound longer. But I dawdled over it, playing a few bars and then cheating, looking up to see what notes followed. I never really listened to what I was playing. I daydreamed about being somewhere else, about being someone else. What does the narration in the excerpts reveal about Jing-mei's character?
 The song is much too difficult for Jing-mei, so she cannot concentrate no matter what she does.

She thinks the talent show is a big joke and is not willing to work for it.

 She is trying her best, but she keeps getting distracted by her own imagination.

 She believes she cannot succeed even if she tries, so she doesn't bother to try.

The term Orwellian refers to concepts or phrases from Orwell's writing that have entered our language. " All Animals Are Equal B
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer and Explanation:

The quote "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" was taken from Orwell's novella "Animal Farm". Even though "Animal Farm" criticizes Stalinist Russia, many of the flaws it points out can be noticed everywhere. We are constantly told we are all equal, that all human beings deserve to be treated with fairness in an unprejudiced manner. But, let's face it, some are "more equal than others".

As a woman, I've been through several moments when sexism was used to diminish me. I've been told plenty of times that I wouldn't understand something related to cars or to measuring houses simply because I was not a man. Still, I am more equal than a friend of mine, who is not only a woman, but a black woman. She was telling me the other day of the times she was followed around in department stores. Someone from the staff would watch her every move, afraid she would steal something. As I am white, that has never happened to me. It brought me to the sad realization that equality is still a utopia.

Note: I wrote an answer based on my real-life experiences. Feel free to adapt it to your own reality.

I need a descriptive essay with the topic “a stormy night” extremely urgent!!!!!!
myrzilka [38]
Not so long ago, there was a night when even the crickets were still. The sky was an ominous grey as the stars came out from their hiding places. Most filled the air with their radiance. Others slowly faded into view, like a shy kitten. But even before the dimmest of stars could come into view, thunderous clouds rolled in, abrupt to the beginning of the glorious eve. A brisk wind swept the land, arousing a sound from the serene night. The storm descended upon the land from above, threatening all in its wake.

Here’s a first paragraph, good luck!
