Read this paragraph from I Never Had It Made. I wasn't just another athlete being hired by a ball club. We were playing for big

stakes. This was the reason Branch Rickey's search had been so exhaustive. The search had spanned the globe and narrowed down to a few candidates, then finally to me. When it looked as though I might be the number-one choice, the investigation of my life, my habits, my reputation, and my character had become an intensified study. What is the author’s purpose for including this paragraph? to inform readers about Rickey’s thorough selection process to inform readers about Rickey’s distrust of Robinson to persuade readers that Robinson is the best athlete in the league to entertain readers with a story about Robinson and Rickey

Answer:

To inform readers about Rickey’s thorough selection process.

Explanation:

Jackie Robinson's "I Never Had It Made" is an autobiographical account of how he became one of the first black sportsmen to ever play in the Major League. The book also contains accounts from his days when he first got the job and the obstacles he faced, be it racial discrimination from all sides including his teammates.

As given in the excerpt, Robinson stated that <em>"Branch Rickey's search had been so exhaustive"</em>. It had <em>"spanned the globe"</em>, narrowing down candidates till his turn came. He also remembered he felt like <em>"the investigation of my life, my habits, my reputation, and my character had become an intensified study"</em>. This <u>shows how thorough the selection process was done by team Rickey for their team's players</u>.

Senior believes one of the greatest shifts over time has been the role of child. Discuss what this means and how it has impacted
Marina CMI [18]
Here's how I see it. For a long time throughout many generations, women and kids didn't have rights. It was always the man of the house who brought home the bacon and controlled the house. Slowly but surely women started to get rights (like voting, being able to do more jobs and generally more things, and even though there is still a wage gap they got payed more over time), but kids didn't start having a voice until, let's say, until 3 generations ago. With advances in technology, kids started to have more of a voice and more of a role in general. A long time ago kids were factory workers as well, which is kinda out of place to put here but I just remembered so the more you know I guess. Anyways, kids started getting more educated, getting more legal rights, and with technology, much more of a voice. Kids are on social media now, child actors (like Millie Bobby Brown) are fighting for women's rights and are helping to fund charities. Kids can create youtube channels, they can create Instagram accounts, they can do anything with technological advancements today. Kids can do basically anything adults can. My mom, who is a baby boomer, talked about the fact that when she was a kid, kids were to be seen, not to be heard. Kids weren't really acknowledged by adults and were often disregarded as idiots until they became legal adults, but now a 13 year-old could have an intellectual conversation about politics with a 50 year old. So, to answer your question, yes, the role of a child has been one of the greatest shifts over time. The way it effects families can be for the better or for worse. I think it's mostly for the better. Kids can speak out now, they can learn more and do more. They have the ability to become an adults as a child, if that makes any sense. Kids are evolving now and will be for forever. I think that because kids have a voice now more than ever, it's a good thing. Kids should be smart and should be heard, and the fact that some kids are able to invent things or challenge adults to trying new things or having intellectual conversations is amazing!!! I hope this helped, sorry that this question is 2 weeks old, brainy just suggested it to me. Good luck with school!

Mkey [24]

Answer:

* by recreating the speakers experience of moving through an active city scene

Explanation:

In the poem, Midday and Afternoon by Amy Lowell, the repeated use of -ing in the line above was used by the poet to portray the active nature of the city. The line exemplifies rhyming.

It impresses on the reader the different styles and natures of movement that were obtainable in the city. Some feet were skipping, lagging, others plodding, dragging, etc. The city was dynamic.
