Answer:

They stress Columbus's determination and fearlessness.

Explanation:

The poem that has "Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!" in it is called <em>Columbus, by Joaquin Miller</em>.

"Sail on" is a refrain in the poem to enforce the idea of exploration, braveness, and adventure. Columbus is going to a new world and he is not afraid to do so.

<em />

<em>These very winds forget their way,  </em>

<em>  For God from these dread seas is gone.  </em>

<em>Now speak, brave Admiral, speak and say”—  </em>

<em>  He said: “Sail on! sail on! and on!”</em>

Answer:

In Freak the Mighty, I did learn that Max's mom was killed.

Explanation:

As it turns out, Iggy is a friend of Max's father, Killer Kenny Kane, who is soon to be released from prison. For, it is not long afterwards that Marx finds a large hand on his face one night, and he is kidnapped. Back at the tenements, Kane ties up Max, who learns that the police are looking for his father. While he is gone, Loretta comes to untie Max, but Kenny returns too soon. He begins to strangle Loretta, and Max tries to stop him, even though he knows "no one can stop him." Unable to get Killer Kane to stop, Max screams out,

"I saw you kill Mom...I saw you do it! You killed her and I’ll never forget, not ever!"

Max was four and his father killed Annie, his wife, in the same manner that he tries to murder Loretto. After hearing Max, Kenny tries to then choke Max until little Freak comes and shoots from a squirt gun, vinegar and curry into Kenny's eyes.

70 POINTS!!! How can bullying be avoided? Choose exactly 2 answers that are correct.
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

a and b

Explanation:

a works in throwing the taunt onto something else not someone else. like if someone is laughing at you point at something funny to divert their attention/energy it will not only make them leave you alone but slowly but surely they will stop laughing at people and find other things to express their energy. or it can be by complimenting them showing you have something in common and it can create a friendship. if its in a conversation you can switch the topic or make it as if the taunt is no big deal making the bully to want to switch tactics. or at a party offer to play a game or get something to not only distract the bully but the group as a whole a bully has to have the crowd interested or else it wont work.

b works because a lot of people insult, degrade, or destroy other people to get a reaction. its not just bully in school the work force and criminals such as kidnappers, abusers, and serial killers will use this tactic to takeover their victims and it gives them a sense of control and power. a lot of victims stated because they didn't give in the abuse. never letting fully get to them. showing the attacker that no matter what happens i have control.

c can work but it isn't the way to go there are so many people who insult a bully in a movie or book it looks so awesome and cool you think it gets back at the person and it does but that means they'll just keep coming after you and sooner or later a fight breaks out. however in the real world it can have consequences like loss of job, name or opportunity. don't lower your self to their level keep control of yourself is the only way to truly overcome adversity. when you lose your dignity you become just as bad as them.

d can work but 95% of the time they'll just say its a joke, its no big deal, you cant just accuse me, your week or sensitive, your making it up and some other falsehood. they will most likely use your approach as a reason to torment you even more. if you do confront someone make sure you have a support team like friends, family, lawyers, or even the police.
