Hello!
As much as I would love to help you, this is a project where no one can help you. You have to come up with your own answer. Writing is generally about expressing your thoughts based off of the information given. However, I can give you a few pointers to writing a successful paper!
1) In this circumstance, you don't want to give your opinion about shepherding, but rather give facts without being biased (think about a good reporter, they are supposed to give facts without showing preference to one side of the story).
2) Next, go through all of your sources and label anything mentioning your given topic. (like a detective!). I highly recommend using sticky notes.
3) Then read through everything that you labeled and write down key ideas and themes throughout your sources.
4) Then, just write down anything that comes to mind about the topic. You can edit later.
5) Make sure you do it in one sitting, so that you don't disrupt your train of thought.
Good luck! I wish you all the best on your project! Hope it goes well, and I hope I was able to help in some way. One of the best things to do when you are overwhelmed is to just sit down and write. That way you have something to work with, then you can edit accordingly.
Answer:
a. How Thoreau protested
Explanation:
In the passage, the author shows how Thoreau protested. The author tells us that Thoreau protested laws that he believed were unfair. This included the Mexican-American War and slavery. Thoreau protested these laws by refusing to pay the poll tax. He was eventually arrested for this practice, and his acts and writings set the basis for civil disobedience all over the world.
Answer and Explanation:
"The Skin I'm In" is a story about racism, prejudice, bulling, insecurity, white supremacy, impunity, self-esteem, support, sense of belonging and self-expression. The author uses Maleeka's life and all the problems related to it and its appearance to portray such important themes that are more present in reality than what we imagine.
In relation to these themes, I do not believe that the author should modify the end of the story, or even change the end of the characters. In order to achieve the objectives of the narrative and present all these themes in a realistic way, it is necessary that each character has the ending that he had. Especially Maleeka, who presents with her mistakes, embraces her own personality and speaks the truth about the things that are happening to her, without protecting anyone out of fear or the need for friendship.
The end of each character represents the end that each archetype they represent must be in real life, so the story is identifiable and personal for all those who read it.
