Question: Why does Medicine Grizzlybear Lake give such detailed description of his son's personal life?

Options:  

  • A) It gives the reader a chance to learn why Native Americans make jewelry.  
  • B) It gives the reader a better understanding of the child's diverse experiences.  
  • C) It helps the reader understand why the child loves going to traditional school.  
  • D) It helps the reader see how happy they are.

Answer: The correct answer is option: <u>B) It gives the reader a better understanding of the child's diverse experiences</u>

Explanation: “An Indian Father's Plea” by Robert Lake is a letter from a Native American father called Medicine Grizzlybear Lake, to his child's teacher in response to his son being labeled as a slow learner. His son's name is Wind-Wolf and in this letter, Medicine Grizzlybear Lake gives many detailed descriptions of his son's personal life in order to give the reader a better understanding of his son's diverse experiences. He discusses the learning that Wind-Wolf has gotten from their home and spiritual life in order to explain why his son is not a slow learner, but is learning based on his culture. He gives many examples of his son's diverse experiences while growing up, one of these examples that he mentions are months in a year. He writes the following: “He is not culturally “disadvantaged,” but he is culturally “different.” If you ask him how many months are in a year, he would probably tell you 13 because he has been taught by our people that there are 13 full moons in a year according to the native tribal calendar.''

Can someone help me write a myth on a winter animal <br> (Thanks I really appreciate)
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Bears are hibernating in the winter. Reality: It might seem like they're out cold before spring, but bears simply undergo a less intense version of hibernation called torpor in which their pulse rate and breathing slows down, their body temperature decreases marginally, and they don't feed or expel body waste.

<span>ouncil for planning to build a new community theater. However, do they realize that building the theater on Asbury Woodlands will destroy the prime breeding ground for an endangered species? The Bachman's warbler is a small, green-and-yellow bird about four inches in length. Since 1897, the population of the Bachman's warbler in North Carolina has decreased from more than 500,000 to fewer than 100. The main reason is the destruction of the areas (like Asbury Woodlands) that the bird uses for its natural breeding grounds. Bachman's warblers prefer thickly wooded swamps and wet thickets in full-grown forests. It’s there that they build their nes</span>

Correction:

Geocaching is a fun hobby that gets you and your friends and family out and about in your local area. My kids just love it! It’s basically a treasure hunt for the 21st century, where you can get fit, enjoy the fresh air, and discover new places. All you need is a handheld GPS (or a mobile phone) and an adventure-loving nature!​

Explanation:

In English grammar, "an" is only used when a vowel ( a, e, i, o, u ) follows it. For example, "an organism" or "an idiot".

"a" is used when a consonant follows it. A consonant is every letter in the English alphabet except  a, e, i, o, u because these are vowels. For example, "a pencil case" or "a flower pot".

Hope this helps.
