Answer:

Find explanation below.

Explanation:

In the short story. "Sol, Painting Inc.", by Meg Medina, Merci was presented as a young girl who was to start seventh grade at a school she did not like namely, Seaward Pines. She was reported as not getting along with her father in the earlier part of the book. This can be proven from the statement:

<em>"Mami: She has no vision. No wonder she and Papi don’t get along". </em>

In the later part of the book, however, Mami said that the only condition she would agree to, before she could go to Seaward Pines was being an apprentice for her father. While they were painting a school (Seaward Pines), some high school girls threw their paints on the floor and destroyed their work. Merci lashed out at them but her father kept quiet. This annoyed Merci because she expected her father to defend her and lash out at the girls.

Roli, her brother however explained that her father did not want to embarrass her, reason while he kept calm.  We see this from his statement:

<em>"Papi chose to be invisible today so you won't ever have to be," </em>

This later softened Merci's disposition towards her father.

What is a bad check according to MLK
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

MLK argued, when he spoke the words “America had given the Negro people a bad check,” that the United States has promised all people a promise of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Notice that the words thus spoke do not specify people of any particular race, but all men. Men, meaning people.
