a billion people, two-thirds of them women, will enter the 21st century unable to read a book or write their names,” warns UNICEF in a new report, “The State of the World’s Children 1999.”
UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund, points out that the illiterate “live in more desperate poverty and poorer health” than those who can read and write. The shocking number — 1 billion people illiterate — generated frightening headlines in major newspapers.
Poverty in the poorest countries is indeed something that ought to concern all of us, especially in a season when we pause to remember the less fortunate. But as usual, there’s more to this striking statistic than UNICEF tells us. Consider three points.
The Good News. Bad news sells, news watchers tell us. And 1 billion people unable to read and write — about 16 percent of world population — is certainly bad news. But let’s deconstruct the news.
First, UNICEF’s actual number is 855 million, a figure that did not appear in major newspapers. That’s still a large number, but it is 15 percent less than 1 billion.
2. I would say the correct answer is <span>A. Dialogue is used. Dialogue is a form that is used in both literary (poetry and prose) and dramatic works. Of course, dramas are based on it, but it is quite a common feature of literary works too. As for the B and C options, they are exclusive to dramatic works.
3. The correct answer, in my opinion, is C. </span><span>fourth-person limited. Something like that doesn't exist. The first-person point of view is when the speaker refers to themselves as "I", narrating the story from their own perspective. The third-person point of view is when the speaker is invisible, telling us the story from a seemingly neutral perspective.
4. In my opinion, the correct answer is </span><span>C. because Rosaline is supposed to be there. At the tragedy's beginning, Romeo is madly in love with Rosaline - or he thinks so, at least. He has not yet seen Juliet, so he pursues this naive and relatively innocent, romantic love.</span>
I watched this movie! Very interesting. Jonas is the receiver, which no one else is familiar with. This is what makes him and his life unique. He lives in a total different world.
- he sees in color even when everyone else can’t.
- he has regular feelings even when no one else experiences any emotion.
- he can realize the sad truths of today’s world, such as death, even when nobody around him knows what things like that are.
There are many factors to his life that unfamiliar to other people in the film. This makes his role in the movie completely unique.
I hope this answers your question and happens to be everything you were looking for. Have a nice night!

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.
Watch the movie William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (1996)
¿what game is romeo playing when he hears about the party?
Answer: Pool.
Explanation:
Better known as Romeo + Juliet, this American film adaptation brings a modern twist to William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
In the original play, Romeo finds out about the Capulet´s feast while in the street, when Peter (a Capulet´s servant) asks him to read the list of guests.
In the movie, Romeo is at the Pool Hall with Benvolio, playing pool table. As they are leaving, they see on the tv a news report about the Capulet´s party.
