Answer:
In a short essay published earlier this week, Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch wrote that the recent killing in Minnesota of George Floyd has forced the country to “confront the reality that, despite gains made in the past 50 years, we are still a nation riven by inequality and racial division.”
Amid escalating clashes between protesters and police, discussing race—from the inequity embedded in American institutions to the United States’ long, painful history of anti-black violence—is an essential step in sparking meaningful societal change. To support those struggling to begin these difficult conversations, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture recently launched a “Talking About Race” portal featuring “tools and guidance” for educators, parents, caregivers and other people committed to equity.
“Talking About Race” joins a vast trove of resources from the Smithsonian Institution dedicated to understanding what Bunch describes as America’s “tortured racial past.” From Smithsonian magazine articles on slavery’s Trail of Tears and the disturbing resilience of scientific racism to the National Museum of American History’s collection of Black History Month resources for educators and a Sidedoor podcast on the Tulsa Race Massacre, these 158 resources are designed to foster an equal society, encourage commitment to unbiased choices and promote antiracism in all aspects of life. Listings are bolded and organized by category.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter b. he values home and family more than personal glory.
Explanation:
Odysseus is the main character in the epic poem "The Odyssey" by Homer. He is a hero trying to return home after the Trojan War. Odysseus encounters several dreadful obstacles on his way back because he has offended a god, Poseidon. Odysseys is a very intelligent man and, for that reason, is also quite arrogant. He enjoys the dispute with Poseidon, seeing it all as a dangerous challenge. Lucky for him, the goddess Athena is on his side, helping him out and protecting him whenever she can.
<u>As the story progresses, Odysseus ends up losing his ship and his men. Even though he is really smart and knows how to get out of possibly fatal situations, he longs to be home with his family, which is taking quite a long time. At the end, when he finally holds his wife Penelope in his arms, he realizes he no longer values the life of a hero he has led so far. Now, after everything he's been through, all that matters to him is his family. The journey and the challenges, as well as the long time it took him to get home, have changed Odysseus.</u>
Answer:
It was on a sunny evening, my parents were out of town for the weekend and I thought it was a good idea to invite some friends over and have a party.
The party started soon after with music blaring, enough liquor (even though we were not up to eighteen), and plenty of necking.
The night was going on really well as my crush Tabitha seemed very interested in me that evening. We were walking hand in hand and she laughed at all my lame jokes, perhaps she was tipsy.
My dad had a gun in his bedroom upstairs which he always kept locked. I did not put too much thought to it, but quite a number of teenagers were in my parents' room, doing what teenagers do best.
Suddenly I heard a loud bang, we all went upstairs quickly and saw Raphael lying in a pool of blood. It appeared that he was playing with the gun, perhaps not knowing it was loaded and mistakenly squeezed the trigger.
A once-happy party turned sour in the twinkling of an eye. All I wanted was for the poor lad to be safe. I called 911 and he was taken to ICU.
Answer:
Verbal irony is when someone says something but means the opposite
EX: sarcasm
Verbal irony in "The Story of an Hour" comes right at the end when the doctor says that Mrs. Mallard died of the "joy that kills." This is an example of verbal irony as the statement can be interpreted in a different way from what it was intended to mean.
Dramatic irony is when the audience knows something the character(s) don't
EX: when you get in trouble at school but you tell you're parents that you were good... But, they already got a phone call of your trouble.
When Mrs. Mallard will not allow Josephine to help her upstairs, it seems that she is so grief-stricken that she wishes to be alone.
