This question seems to be incomplete. However, there´s enough information to find the right answer.
Read “Curtis Aikens and the American Dream,” by Dan Rather, and “Go For It!,” by Earvin “Magic” Johnson.
Think back to the quotation "Knowledge is Power". Provide textual evidence
from both selections to prove that Curtis Aikens' experiences and Magic
Johnson's opinion support this quote.
Answer:
Aikens' experience learning to read and write as an adult, and Magic Johnson's conclusion that studying to become a professional is better than being a basketball player, both support the idea that "Knowledge is Power".
Explanation:
Aikens' story highlights how important it was for his career to finally learn how to read and write with the help of the Literacy Volunteers of America. He confesses the reason he didn´t learn sooner was that "instead of learning to read, I learned to hide the fact that I couldn´t read".
Magic Johnson defends college education as fundamental, especially for African Americans who might think that playing basketball is their best option when is not. Johnson even has a Foundation that "provides scholarships and develops community centers and technology training centers".
Dear Diary
This is day 30 of Christmas in a row. I enjoy the presents, but our parents are getting more poor as this continues. It won't stop snowing, Mariah Carey won't stop singing, this is just a nightmare. I know I wanted Christmas every day, but this is just absurd. I hope I am sleeping, because this dream turned into a nightmare.
Okay, it's Day 31, I think I am stuck in some crazy and insane loop. I love Christmas, but I want to celebrate 2021. The local newstation is also pretty confused, god might even be confused. I just want the day to go by as usual, I will and can do anything to do so.
Day 47, I think we are in a simulation, no way it's been 47 days for christmas. All though we don't have school, we are still stuck doing this same routine. I just pray that something happens to fix this situation. I love Christmas, I really do, but this is too much.
Day 47, it just occured to me we don't have to celebrate Christmas, we can just live our lives normally. I feel really dumb right now, but hey, atleast I got a break from School and chores! I am glad we also got to spend time as a family, instead of doing whatever we usually do by ourselves. I guess this wasn't so bad afterall, merry christmas to all and to all a good night!
