To persuade a town council
Answer:
<h3>Being brave and embracing one's weakness.</h3>
Explanation:
- In the story "Sweet, Difficult Sounds", Nothukula, who immigrated from Zimbabwe, felt like an outcast in her school and thought that no one would understand her accent and English.
- She remained silent in her class and barely spoke to anyone as she felt insecure about her English. However, she learns to speak with confidence after her auntie teaches her how to speak in front of the class.
- In this way, Nothukula could finally recite the poem in front of the whole class in her second attempt with confidence and clarity.
- The main idea about "Sweet, Difficult Sounds" is to face your problems head on and to embrace one's weakness.
Answer:
Azbell held up a flier announcing a boycott of city buses on Monday-the same day Rosa Parks was scheduled to be tried for violating an ordinance calling for segregated seating.“Joe showed the flier to me and said, ‘This is going to be in the paper tomorrow,'” Ingram recalled. “Sometime later, Dr. Martin Luther King told me that ‘Joe and the Advertiser printing that on the front page on Sunday morning was a greater impetus for the success of the boycott than anything before.'”

Dearest Mother,
I hope this letter finds you
well.
I would like to extend my
apologies. I deeply regret the heartaches I have caused you. I am very sorry
for making you suffer for my misdeeds. It grieves me that I am no longer there
to assist you in taking care of our family. I hope and pray that the time will
come when I will be able to see you again; you and my siblings.
I have finally arrived in
Australia! After spending three grueling months at sea, I am here.
Our voyage was fraught with
difficulties. Weather conditions were unpredictable. Sometimes, very hot; other
times, very cold. We encountered bad storms. We endured hunger and sickness due
to the shortage of food. A number of our companions died at sea. I felt very
hopeless during those times; fearing that I, too, will die at sea. But, by the
grace of God, I have survived.
Mother, I met someone here in
Australia. Her name is Heather MacMaster. She is a very delightful girl. She
gives me hope; the hope to live a prosperous life here. I love her, mother, and
I want to marry her. I hope that there will come a day when we will see each
other again, and I can introduce you to one another; the mother, who gave me
life; and the woman, who makes my life worth living.
From feeling lost and hopeless, I
am now very happy. I am looking forward to hearing from you and learning more
about what is happening there in your side of the world.
Please write to me,
mother. This is the only way I can reach you.
Your loving son,
Ben Winterhayes
