Answer: foolish.

Minstrel shows were a form of entertainment popular in America during the early 19th century. The shows were usually performed by white people wearing make-up for the purpose of portraying black characters (the practice is called "blackface"). Sometimes, African-American actors would participate too, although this was less common. Minstrel shows portrayed African Americans as foolish, superstitious, complacent and lazy. The popularity of minstrel shows declined with the emergence of vaudeville.

a rock climber climbs up the rock wall how do the bones and muscles in his arm interact to allow him to climb up. Which one
nirvana33 [79]

Answer: His arms muscles work in pairs so that one contracts while the other relaxes as he climbs up.

Explanation: when we exercise one muscle, there is usually another muscle that isn't the target of the exercise but it helps us maintain the form by doing the opposite movement. For example, when we do a bicep curl, the muscle that we are working is the biceps, and it contracts, but at the same time, the triceps relaxes, this is called antagonist muscles. The same thing happens when a rock climber climbs up the rock wall, the biceps contract as he pulls up and the triceps relax at the same time.

How might dystopian novels inform readers about contemporary society and the adult word?
Elena-2011 [213]
Dystopian novels inform readers by telling them about the past and present problems that society has or is facing at the time. They hide details in their lore or main characters (mostly the bad guys) and they have subtle hints into the deeper meanings of life!
