Answer: The poem "Shoulders," by Naomi Shihab Nye reflects on our lives today.

Explanation: In the poem, Nye tells us about a man crossing a street in the rain with a young child he is carrying.He must use caution crossing the street. He must caution to avoid the raindrops, all the while looking, listening and caring for the child he is carrying. The symbolism of course is, that we are that person carrying the child, and it is our responsibility to do all we can to care for, nurture and protect that child because our society is such today that there are many raindrops, puddles and speeding autos we need to avoid, not in the literal sense but certainly figuratively. In this time of pandemic, the message could not be clearer-we need to care for one another. We need to take care of one another, because we are all in this together.

How was the Iran Contra Scandal a threat to American success?

Anton [14]

The Iran-Contra affair was a scandal involving the US and Iran. Iran was at an arms embargo at the time, so no arms were supposed to be sold to this country. The US though was secretly selling arms to Iran. This came out on the surface and became a big scandal. The US administration was trying to justify this move that they have done it order to free American hostages held in Lebanon by Hezbollah, but it turned out that the arms sale started much earlier then that. Apart from having a badly damaged reputation, both at home and on the international scene, the US success in the region was also damaged. The Arab world was a sworn enemy of Iran, and they thought that the US is their friend and protector, but it came on surface that the US is arming their enemy, so it disrupted the relations with these countries for the time being.
