Answer:

The author shares information about Cyntoia's life before the murder to help readers understand the circumstances that might have influenced her rash decision

Explanation:

Cyntoia was convicted of killing Johnny Allen after she shot at him after they agreed a fee for sex. She was 16 at the time.

A research into her life shows women in her family in her family had a history of abuse as her grandmother said she was a victim of violent abuse of which she got pregnant and gave birth to Cyntoia's mother who in turn is a single parent and didn't supervise Cyntoia as she grew which led her down the paths of drugs, prostitution and finally murder.

Have you ever experienced cultural shock, and how did u adapted?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Yes, I have. The first time that I went overseas was to Japan in the summer of 2011 for a vacation with my family and friends. When we got off the plane, it took us awhile to figure out what to do because there were many people speaking Japanese around us. It made me feel uneasy because none of them spoke English, which meant that I couldn't understand any of their conversations or directions. They also wore clothing that looked very different from anything that I had seen before, like kimonos and hakama pants. Also, they ate differently than I did. We could not find any food that resembled American fast food restaurants, but instead found more traditional Japanese foods such as sushi and teriyaki. After several days, I finally started to adjust to the new environment. As the days passed by, I realized that this country was just like America in many ways. For example, I quickly learned how to get around Tokyo without looking lost.

Read the passage and answer the question. [1620] . . . so as there died sometimes two or three of a day, in the foresaid time; t
Elenna [48]
Most of the above passage includes descriptions of the tasks that the caretakers did for the sick, but if you look where Bradford first mentions those caretakers, you can see just how he feels about them. This phrase, "there was but six or seven sound persons, who, to their great commendations be in spoken, spared no pains, night nor day, but with abundance of toil and hazard of their own health" holds the key. If you look closely at this phrase, Bradford describes how many people acted as caretakers (six or seven) and includes a single word, "commendations," that means praise. To suggests they deserve "great commendations" tells the reader that Bradford feels like these caretakers deserve the highest praise for what they do. My answer, then, would be the word "commendations."
