Answer:

In paragraph 22, the goldfish shows a lesson on how human beings close their eyes to simple messages by interpreting them as they suit and as they really are. This reveals one of the themes in history, which is that our actions have a price and why we must think before acting.

Explanation:

Paragraph 22 of  “What, of this Goldfish, Would You Wish?” presents the following lines: “He said,” says the fish, interrupting, “exactly what he was doing. But you didn’t get it. Honestly, your Hebrew, it’s terrible.”

These lines are spoken after Sergei accidentally kills Yonatan. This was because Sergei thought Yonatan wanted to catch the magic fish.

Yonatan had said what he wanted to do, which was not to catch the fish, but Sergei didn't understand Yonatan well and ended up interpreting the whole situation in a completely wrong way, hitting Yonatan hard on the head.

Paragraph 22 shows the fish saying that Sergei interpreted everything wrong and acted impulsively. With this, he shows us how we must understand the whole situation before acting, as our actions can have destructive results.

Answer

come on really whatever

Explanation:

change the words a little

An extremely powerful story of a young Southern Negro, from his late high school days through three years of college to his life in Harlem.

His early training prepared him for a life of humility before white men, but through injustices- large and small, he came to realize that he was an "invisible man". People saw in him only a reflection of their preconceived ideas of what he was, denied his individuality, and ultimately did not see him at all. This theme, which has implications far beyond the obvious racial parallel, is skillfully handled. The incidents of the story are wholly absorbing. The boy's dismissal from college because of an innocent mistake, his shocked reaction to the anonymity of the North and to Harlem, his nightmare experiences on a one-day job in a paint factory and in the hospital, his lightning success as the Harlem leader of a communistic organization known as the Brotherhood, his involvement in black versus white and black versus black clashes and his disillusion and understanding of his invisibility- all climax naturally in scenes of violence and riot, followed by a retreat which is both literal and figurative. Parts of this experience may have been told before, but never with such freshness, intensity and power.

This is Ellison's first novel, but he has complete control of his story and his style. Watch it.

A neighborhood resource officer asks residents to clean up litter, remove graffiti, and install better lighting in a nearby park
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:  Problem-solving

Explanation:  This kind of request is based on a solid understanding of danger that's been going on in the neighborhood.

Cleaning up litter is the key to cleaner streets, air and better surroundings for the children.

Better lighting is a way of getting rid of the drug dealers that are around since they wouldn't want to be around bright lights thus rather in darker streets.
