Answer:
cute:) did you come up with that?
The author says that national parks exist so that people can experience America; if they were to remain hidden, their value would be lost.
In order for America to be experienced, these parks must not remain "hidden gems." He argues that these parks "contribute uniquely" to the landscape and is a reminder of "what was" -- i.e., an America that no longer exists in modern
time.
He says that he wants others to experience what he has worked so hard to save. Therefore, these does not want these parks to remain "hidden gems."
I would have to say B. But don't rely on this! Here is my explanation;
High-born would mean that he is more important or in a higher grade. In this text, he refers him to be high-born because he is rich and she loves him. He [not the high-born] Loves her so much, he is there when she is on the boat [or what he refers to], her death, and more places [I have not read this poem in a while].
Then again, don't rely on this answer! I did my best. It was either B. or C. to me. B. made more sense to me, but we are two different people!
Answer:
1. Wes' mother Joy simply wanted her son to attend a private school instead of the public schools. But the segregation suffered by Wes made him lose focus, and his mother decided to send him to a Military school.
2. It was a good investment that Wes' mother made, for the military school made Wes more disciplined and kept him away from the bad influences in his former neighborhood.
Explanation:
The book, The Other Wes Moore tells the story of two personalities named Wes. Wes whose mother was Joy had moved from Jamaica to The United States. She wanted her children to get a quality education. When she realized that the public schools were no longer in good condition she opted for a private school. The private school made her son relate with the rich kids and this made the kids in the neighborhood unhappy with Wes.
His mother noticed the distractions Wes faced, and so, she changed him to a military school. She borrowed money from family and friends to make this possible. This was a good investment because Wes succeeded in the military school and attained a good rank.
