Answer:

The oppression and segregation imposed upon African Americans.

Explanation:

In his letter to President Dwight D. Eisenhower dated May 13, 1958, Jack Roosevelt Robinson wrote of how it is hard for them to "<em>have self-respect and remain patient</em>". He admits that considering the "treatment" that his people, the African Americans in America have experienced and gone through, he believes it is hard for them to be patient and have "self-respect".

Jackie Robinson was a professional baseball player who played in the Major League Baseball (MLB). His letter to the then president shows his impatience against the former's interest regarding the cause of the Black community. Robinson would alter on become a huge propagator for the civil rights movement and be involved in the fight for the rights of the black people. By admitting that the president's advise to be patient and have self control can no longer be enough to calm the unrest that is evidently arising out of the oppression and racial segregation that his people had experienced and made to endure.

Who is the second person to impact holden's life in catcher in the rye
Dima020 [189]
The second-person “you,” likening the reader to a trusted confidant. The final line of the flashback portion of the novel is “God, I wish you could’ve been there,” suggesting Holden’s loneliness would have been relieved by having a friend like the reader with him during his experiences. The second-person address also draws attention to Holden’s unreliability as a narrator. Throughout the novel, Holden tries to convince the reader to interpret events one way while simultaneously presenting evidence that the opposite interpretation is correct. For example, he frequently insists how well he knows people – “The thing is, you didn’t know Stradlater. I knew him,” or “I know old Jane like a book.” However, his interactions with Stradlater, and his reluctance to contact Jane, suggest he is neither as intimate nor comfortable with them as he’d like the reader to believe. He also makes several references to how much he hates movies, and thinks his brother D.B. is a “prostitute” for writing for them, yet he mentions going to the movies several times. In these ways, Holden’s attempts to control the reader’s impression of him end up revealing who he really is.

Read the following poem by Paul Laurence Dunbar and answer the question that follows.
emmasim [6.3K]

<em>Answer:</em> 2. He uses dialect to better connect the message to the intended audience.

<em>Explanation</em>: I want to say that it is answer 2.)!

This is a very emotional poem that I had to analyze last semester, the message of the poem is very important to the author and poem itself. Dialect is generally a kind of language that people speak in a certain region or part of the country. The word "Alas!" in the first line can be dialect,  it is helping to add to the message of the poem, and simply helps express sorrow.

Anyways, I hope this helps!

Name two issues that are important. Why - use in your own words.​
Burka [1]

Answer: The 2 issues that are important to me are:

1. My work with God. This is very important because without God I wouldn't be alive today and I wouldn't have gotten to where I am.

2. My Marriage. This is also a very important issue to me because marriage is something that either make or mar a person. An ideal and right life partner would be a point of blessing to me.

devlian [24]
"The Judges' combined score moved the competitor to the top of the scoreboard" is the correct response because in this case "Judges" is plural so the apostrophe is outside.
