Answer:

1. According to the context clues, the "pacified south" means that Vietnam had characteristics of the south, but in a calm and peaceful manner, without imminent conflicts.

2. The use of these words makes the author help us to understand that Vietnam as a peaceful link and without reprisals against Chinese domination, but accepting it without creating conflicts.

Explanation:

Context clues is a device used by the author for the reader to understand words and ideas shown in a sentence through the context that the entire sentence, or paragraph, addresses.

This makes the reading more fluid and constant, optimizing the reader's time and reasoning.

Adriane developed a research question on the topic of censorship, and she needs to revise it. Adriane’s research question: What
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Topic:  The decision to censor particular books is often tied to current political or social debates.  

1. People are social media addicts.  The internet is usually either plainly seen as republican or democratic views and they are expressed to you in a manner that you could actually believe what they are writing about.  They attempt to reach into your own morals and values and convince you that you need to read a certain book - or that a book has things in it that would not be appropriate for you and your beliefs.

Hopefully, the students have a teacher, as myself, that will encourage them to read all the banned books that they can get their hands on.  Even though most of all literature is somewhere on the web, I encourage you to purchase the banned books.  Politically motivated censorship is usually someone trying to please the people.  Give them what they want; in reality we do not want books to be banned.  It is simple really, if you do not want to read it, then do not read it.  Whatever is going on in the news, is usually somewhere in history and written about already.  History repeats itself and it is evident that there are people that want to control what you think and what you say.  They want to control people.  There is no government for the people by the people any longer, if they continue to ban books.  If we allow them to continue to ban books, this will trickle slowly into other areas of our lives.  They start slow, and then they get into the media to try to sway people to believe a certain way.  

Explanation:

Books - the ones you still can hold in your hand and read - will continue to disappear.  People will try to control what you think, eat, believe and attempt to change your value system and your morals.  

Fake news?  possibly, but in reality, no on should ban books.

If you have not READ (not watched) Fahrenheit 451, I encourage you to do so.  Read the book.  If you choose to watch the movie, wait until you have read the book.
