read the excerpt from chapter 6 of lizzie bright and the buckminster boy. "because i wanted to know if it was true." "if what wa

s true?" "if lizzie was lying to me. if all she wanted to do was to get me on her side so she wouldn't have to leave the island." reverend buckminster sighed. "it doesn't matter if it's true. it matters what people think. it matters that my congregation can tell me what to think when my son goes out to visit a negro girl on malaga island. it doesn't matter at all how she got you out there." "it matters to me," turner whispered. "speak up!" "it matters to me." the grim silence circled the room like an eager tiger. it flicked its tail greedily at them, circling, circling, circling. turner felt that it was about to pounce, claws fully out. and then it did. consider reverend buckminster’s words: "it doesn’t matter if it’s true. it matters what people think.” how might the story be different had it been told primarily from the perspective of an adult? it would focus more on the social implications of the racial conflict. it would focus less on the racial conflict between the two towns. it would be more accurate since adults tend to be more truthful. it would be less biased since adults tend to have fewer prejudices.

Answer:

The story might be different had it been told primarily from the perspective of an adult because It would focus more on the social implications of the racial conflict.

Explanation:

This excerpt from "Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy" by Gary D. Schmidt shows the different point of view on the same situation, one focuses in the interpersonal reason of the events, implying feelings, trust and fear to be deceived, while the other focuses in the social aspect of a relationship that will not be well accepted by others and that will cause further problems.

I need a speech for student council, im running for president. Help?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

I have ran and failed before. I learned my mistakes the next year and became VP. You really need to show what you can do to change what is bad. Students want to elect someone they like and know is competent. Be a leader in the classroom. Participate in class discussions and get good grades, it’s how you’ll prove your competence. Don’t be the class clown or the student who’s always on their cell phone or asleep. Make posters. The posters can be super simple; even just a print out of the slogan on normal computer paper will work. However, you should have a lot of them. The exact number will vary proportionally to the number of students in your class (or school, if you’re running for the overall Student Government President). What I mean by that is if your class has 100 students, 10 posters may be enough, but if you have 1000 students in your class, you may want to put up 50 or more posters. Count on some posters being ripped down or disappearing. Most schools have rules against this, but it’s hard to catch someone ripping down a poster. Plan on making extras. Some of these tips helped me in becoming VP so I hope this will help you.

Locate the gerund or gerund phrase and identify its noun function in the sentence. Going for the gold was the team's motto. Geru
Savatey [412]

Answer:

"Going for the gold"

Explanation:

Gerund is a kind of verbal that works both like a verb and a noun.

It can function as a simple word or as a phrase.Again, phrase is the combination of words that doesn't have a subject or verb but works like a single parts of speech when used in a sentence.

Here"going for the gold"is a gerund phrase as the structure is=verb+ing

And it's a phrase because it doesn't has subject or verb.Rather it's consist of some words supporting the gerund "going"

The most important sign to recognize wether it is gerund or not is the verb following it and the verb "was" is singular.

A gerund always functions like a noun.Such as-

"Walking" is a good exercise.

Here walking has used as noun as it is a name of an exercise.as we know the name of something is considered as a noun.

"Going for the gold" was the team's motto.

In this sentence, "going for the gold"is a single task and it's also the name of the motto the team wanted to accomplish.So it's a Gerund and noun.
