Read the following excerpt and answer the question that follows. Abridged from Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe My father, a wis

e and grave man, gave me serious and excellent counsel against what he foresaw was my design. He called me one morning into his chamber, where he was confined by the gout, and expostulated very warmly with me upon this subject. He asked me what reasons, more than a mere wandering inclination, I had for leaving father's house and my native country, where I might be well introduced, and had a prospect of raising my fortune by application and industry, with a life of ease and pleasure. He told me it was men of desperate fortunes on one hand, or of aspiring, superior fortunes on the other, who went abroad upon adventures, to rise by enterprise, and make themselves famous in undertakings of a nature out of the common road; that these things were all either too far above me or too far below me; that mine was the middle state, or what might be called the upper station of low life, which he had found, by long experience, was the best state in the world, the most suited to human happiness, not exposed to the miseries and hardships, the labour and sufferings of the mechanic part of mankind, and not embarrassed with the pride, luxury, ambition, and envy of the upper part of mankind. What does the historical context of the writing demonstrate or tell you? Even in that time, there was a lower, middle, and upper class of society. Unlike today, people in that time were all of the same class in society. There were no middle class citizens in that time; only very rich and very poor. Ideas of class separation did not become common until after that period in time.

Write a story that ends with it's better late than never<br>​
liq [111]

Answer:

this story is about it's better late than never

Once in a year his sons and daughter would come to pay a visit to him but for the rest of the year his only source of communication was the letters. sometimes he would go to the post master of the village to read the letters for him because he did not know to read and write. The postmaster always used to help the old man reading and writing the letters for him. You may also read: God help those who help themselves

But unfortunately that post master died and a young postmaster got appointed. That young postmaster was a rude person who did not want to help the man. Slowly his way of communication with his children got cut off. He use to remain very upset.

One day the head master of the village school came to him and asked about his disappointment. The old man told him that because of his being illiterate he is facing trouble to get in touch with his children. He described how he never went to school because of his commitments towards his family. After listening to the his problem, the head master gave him a solution that instead of asking help from others he should once again start going to school and read and write.

The old man said everybody would laugh at him at this age studying. The headmaster told is better late than never. So following his advice the man joined the night school and started reading and writing. within few months he started writing letters to his children and getting their answers too. By then he did not have to go to anyone to read the letter. That day he was clear on the proverb that better late than never.

Better late than never meaning of the proverb- It is better to do something or arrive after the expected time than not do it or arrive at all.

Read this excerpt from Immigrant Kids, by Russell Freedman.My mother, my stepfather, my brother Giuseppe, and my two sisters, Li
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Explanation:

Jabbered conversations, sharp cries, laughs and cheers -- a steadily rising din filled the air. Mothers and fathers lifted up babies so that they too could see, off to the left, the Statue of Liberty.

I think this detail is what you want. It shows great wonder and jubilation when they finally saw the Statue of Liberty. All of the other choices are true but this one shows their response and what they were looking at when they arrived.

By the way, you've offered 100 points. That can't be done unless you do it when you first propose the question. Even then, the person answering it will only get 50.

Five points is all we get.

Immigration essay about what challenges they faced in the 20th century
WINSTONCH [101]
Three main struggles of immigrants:
1) Language barriers
Failure to communicate with Americans means less opportunities for employment and difficulty making new friends/contacts. 
2) Cultural/race discrimination
Many immigrants wouldn't get hired for a job because of racism and cultural differences.
3) Financial issues
No work = no money = tough living situations. 

If you want someone to write the whole essay for you, you'll have to offer a lot more than 15 points. But this should get you started. :)
