Idealistic people are those who pursue great ideas in the hope of changing the world. Because their plans are often quite ambiti
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The idealistic approach is more valuable in the long-term, because it not only offers solutions to present and future problems, but it also offers a vision: an idea about the future for a person, a corporation, a city, or a nation.

The practical approach is more valuable in the short-term. While long-term ideas and vision of the idealists can be fulfilled, there are many concrete problems that need to be solved in the meantime, and this is the time and place where practical people shine.

what evidence in Music for My Mother supports the statement that shows that moving to a new country is hard ?
Katen [24]

Answer:

<u><em>After dinner my older brother liked to play the guitar. He preferred </em></u>

<u><em>the music he heard on the radio, but he played the traditional </em></u>

<u><em>songs for Mama. She enjoyed things that reminded her of home. </em></u>

<u><em>Her eyes hurt and her fingers would get sore from long hours of </em></u>

<u><em>work as a seamstress. I remember washing dishes while Pedrito sang: </em></u>

<u><em>“And seeing myself so lonely and sad like a leaf in the wind, I want </em></u>

<u><em>to cry . . . from this feeling.” </em></u>

<u><em>He sang in Spanish, which is how the lyrics were written. That </em></u>

<u><em>song is more than 100 years old now. Mama learned it when she was </em></u>

<u><em>a girl. </em></u>

<u><em>Papa tried to nudge Mama out of her nostalgia sometimes. He </em></u>

<u><em>would answer her in English when she spoke to him in Spanish. His </em></u>

<u><em>English was not very good at first, but he worked at it until it got </em></u>

<u><em>better. </em></u>

<u><em>Mama usually answered him in Spanish. They would go back </em></u>

<u><em>and forth in either language, talking about work or homesickness </em></u>

<u><em>or family. Pedrito or I would occasionally correct them or help them </em></u>

<u><em>finish their sentences in English. Papa would thank us. Mama would </em></u>

<u><em>just smile and shake her head. But she always repeated the words we </em></u>

<u><em>had helped her with. In time her English got better too, but she was </em></u>

<u><em>far more at ease in her native tongue. </em></u>

<u><em>I was seven years old when we came to the United States. Pedrito </em></u>

<u><em>was 11. Papa was a carpenter who also knew a little about plumbing </em></u>

<u><em>and electricity. From an early age, my brother and I learned how to </em></u>

<u><em>take care of ourselves in our new home. Our parents worked long </em></u>

<u><em>hours, and they counted on us to be independent. </em></u>

<u><em>At first we were almost like guides for Mama and Papa. In big </em></u>

<u><em>busy places, like the mall or the registry of motor vehicles, they felt </em></u>

<u><em>uncomfortable, if not overwhelmed. It was easier for us to adjust </em></u>

<u><em>to environments that were fast-paced and not always friendly. I felt </em></u>

<u><em>protective of my parents and also proud of how quickly I learned my </em></u>

<u><em>way around. </em></u>

<u><em>It would hurt my feelings to see the way some people looked at us. </em></u>

<u><em>For a while, on Sundays and holidays we would wear our best clothes </em></u>

<u><em>from home. Before long, we learned to wear casual clothes almost all </em></u>

<u><em>the time, like most people in this country do. And after a while, our </em></u>

<u><em>parents became more at ease in stores or government offices. They </em></u>

<u><em>relaxed a little, I suppose, and we attracted less attention. </em></u>

<u><em>Mama and Papa live with Pedrito now, in a two-family home </em></u>

<u><em>outside of Houston. Pedrito is now known as Peter. He runs a </em></u>

<u><em>construction business that employs 14 men and women. </em></u>

<u><em>Papa is in his seventies now. Pedrito would like for him to </em></u>

<u><em>slow down a little and enjoy retirement, but Papa says that Mama </em></u>

<u><em>wouldn’t want him sitting around the house getting in her way. </em></u>

<u><em>He rises at dawn almost every day and goes to work with Pedrito, </em></u>

<u><em>building houses. </em></u>

<u><em>I am a teacher. This summer I will be taking my son, Michael, to </em></u>

<u><em>visit his grandparents. He is twelve. He wants to learn to play the </em></u>

<u><em>guitar. I want Mama and his Uncle Peter to teach him a few of the </em></u>

<u><em>good old songs.</em></u>

How does the author develop the idea that relying on nature was problematic? Please respond in three to five complete sentences,

Incomplete question. Here's the full text:

By S. E. Forman

1911

THE MATCH

There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.

Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.

In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.

How does the author convince readers that the match was "the most wonderful thing in the world"? Please respond in three to five complete sentences, using evidence from the text to support your answer.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We note the author's intriguing statement at the outset when he said "that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make" a match.

Also, he further highlighted how problematic it was to depend on nature when he said "in the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark".

To express the problems further, the author also says that <em>they would have to guard the fire but the fire would still go out sometimes</em> and then they would have to go on long and difficult journeys.
