I believe the correct answer is differential opportunity theory.
According to this theory, our social and economic environment is crucial when determining whether a person is going to have success by using either legitimate or illegitimate means. Based on Tommy's background and the actions of his parents, and those of his own, he doesn't have many legal job opportunities he can pursue.

I NEED HELP! Contrast Discuss President George H.W. BushÍs foreign policy by comparing and contrasting his decisions regarding t
murzikaleks [220]


The Bush administration’s responses to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, expanded presidential power in matters of national security. Bush transformed from being a President with questionable legitimacy, who had been selected in a controversial election, to taking on immense presidential emergency powers, defining the threat, and attacking the enemy. His administration justified its actions by citing Article II of the U.S. Constitution that outlines the powers of the President as commander in chief as well as legal authorizations passed by Congress. Following 9/11, Bush’s leadership became a rallying point for the nation. The American people were inclined to trust him because they believed in his ability to maintain their safety. In the weeks after the attack, Bush’s approval rating rose to 90 percent—the highest recorded job-approval rating in U.S. presidential history.

Read the excerpt relating to Reverend John Wilson from Chapter 3 of The Scarlet Letter. The voice which had called her attention
sattari [20]

You forgot the options, but I found them anyways, the correct answer is "John Wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

John Wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. The point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. He happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. At the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.


Hope this helps!
