Read this excerpt from "The Spirit of Alcatraz." Protest leaders say the occupation led to new federal laws that recognized Amer

ican Indian tribes and gave them more control over their daily lives. Additionally, the government decided to drop its plan to sell Alcatraz to developers. Today, the island is a National Historic Landmark that sees more than a million visitors each year. But activists say their most important accomplishment was changing the way American Indians looked at themselves. As activist John Trudell puts it, "Alcatraz put me back into my community and helped me remember who I am. It was a rekindling of the spirit.” Which statement best describes the author’s viewpoint? Time spent on Alcatraz Island was wasted, because the demands of the American Indians were not met. It was a dangerous mistake to spend so much time on Alcatraz Island, and it damaged the landmark. American Indians influenced the US government and raised the spirit of their community by occupying Alcatraz. Alcatraz Island is an important landmark that can best be handled by government officials.

The correct answer is C) American Indians influenced the U.S. government and raised the spirit of their community by occupying Alcatraz.

<em>The statement that best describes the author's viewpoint is "American Indians influenced the U.S. government and raised the spirit of their community by occupying Alcatraz".</em>

In the passage, the author clearly states that "...the occupation led to new federal laws that recognized American Indian Tribes and gave them more control over their daily lives." In another part of the passage the author says "...the most important accomplishment was changing the way American Indians looked at themselves."

The author also quoted activist Jhon Trudell: "Alcatraz put me back into my community and help me remember who I am. It was a rekindling of spirit." That is why the statement that best describes the author's viewpoint is "American Indians influenced the U.S. government and raised the spirit of their community by occupying Alcatraz".

If you could change anything in the world, what would it be? Why? Describe the problem. Describe a realistic way to fix it. How
Alborosie

Answer:

If I could change anything in the world, I would change the government system. This is because the government rules more minor subjects like school, transportation, economics, and more. By changing the government system, these subjects will also slowly start to get better for all citizens. Some of the problems many people are facing are trouble in school, money bills, etc. These problems can come to a stop only when the governors decide to fix them.  A realistic way we can fix this problem is by kicking some governors (who didn't help the nation for the better) and giving much more reliable and wiser people the position. These kinds of people will listen to their citizens and help out as much as they can. If chaos starts happening, people should go on a peaceful protest to get what they want. This would make the world a much better place as many problems will slowly start going away.

In what country did the Industrial Revolution first begin?
konstantin123 [22]

The Industrial Revolution began in England in the late 18th century, and spread during the 19th century to Belgium, Germany, Northern France, the United States, and Japan. Almost all areas of the world felt the effects of the Industrial Revolution because it divided the world into "have" and "have not" countries, with many of the latter being controlled by the former. England's lead in the Industrial Revolution translated into economic prowess and political power that allowed colonization of other lands, eventually building a worldwide British Empire.
