<span>The slave owners kept them from having an established identity. If they saw themselves as individuals with a purpose and sense of self, they would then have the desire to question authority. They kept parents and children seperate due to human instinct to develop kinship ties; the slaves would form a support system and thus establish a group identity, leading to potential uprising and questioning their positions. Education is freedom, as is knowledge. Why give such a gift to those in servitude? (Rhetorical question...) </span>

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Residents in Barrio Logan were angry with negative changes in their neighborhood. They fought City Council for a local park and made it into a beautiful place.

Explanation:

<u>A summary is a brief, objective account of the leading points of a narrative.</u> Therefore, A) can't be correct because it offers a personal (first-person) account of what someone likes or doesn't like. This excerpt is not about murals - they are just an angle that explains how the residents made an impact in Barrio Logan, claiming the place as part of their own culture and heritage. The D) option is objective but leaves out a crucial part of the narrative - the industrialization which led to conflict between the people and City Council.

Write a movie review about a movie you saw .​
Free_Kalibri [48]

It’s a classic movie that everyone loves. It was the highlight of my childhood. Watching it again brought back the excitement of a magical world that I always wish existed. I watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

It seemed logical at the time not to start from the first of the series – that would be a moment where I question my logic, however it was still as enjoyable as the first. I instantly remembered why this one out of the seven was specifically my favourite. I loved the amount of activities going on in the movie; it also progressed into this magical world we knew little about, so we find out more than we previously may not have even thought about… Unless you read the books like I did. That moment of excitement to actually be able to visualise the Goblet of Fire is something that can only be described by true Harry Potter fans.

I realised whilst watching the movie that it never occurred to me that there would be other magic schools other than Hogwarts. The moment of awe was something I enjoy experiencing repetitively each time I come across the Harry Potter series.

The movie starts with classic reunion of Harry, Hermione and the comedian of the series, Ron. However unlike the others it progresses their relationship as they have clearly grown. It was enjoyable to watch how their relationships shook when other characters were added into the equation. When the plot moved on from the bright and light toned scenes I then questioned how I managed to watch the scenes with the entrance of Voldermort. I wonder how I managed to watch the first Harry Potter movie without being freaked out as a child. Nevertheless it’s a movie that I wouldn’t mind re-watching countless times

A frequent subject of a literary work is good vs.
topjm [15]

Answer:

A frequent subject of a literary work is good vs evil.

Explanation:

Good and evil and their contradictions, confrontations and the implications that these concepts bring about people are a recurring theme in literature, in all its genres and styles.

For example, in fiction literature such as The Strange Case of Dr Jekill and Mr Hyde, where the character suffers a dual personality condition, with a normal existence and an evil and cynical hidden personality; or in the classic detective novels, with a good cop who wants justice, and an unscrupulous and bloody criminal.

Throughout the history of literature, this theme has been recurring. This is so because it implies human nature itself, where the duality of personalities and the implications of people's own actions necessarily imply a positive and negative assessment of events and situations.

Read this excerpt from a story:
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

I think the answer is B because she clearly states that she is going into the house for her newspaper article, not to show how brave she is which eliminates A. She also does admit her fear when she said that it is just as scary as everybody warned so it can not be C which leaves us with B.
