Which two things must be accomplished by the introduction if the author is using safe order

It’s a shame, then, that the second part of Pauling’s advice tends to be overlooked: “Most of (your ideas) will be wrong, and what you have to learn is which ones to throw away.” It’s certainly true that most ideas written on a Post-It note or submitted to an online system never get used, but the reason has more to do with a bias toward short-term payback in most innovation processes than informed filtration

What are two misconceptions about the Pilgrims that many

GuDViN [60]

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. It seems you are likely referring to the online article, The complicated legacy of the Pilgrims by Peter C. Mancall, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities, USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences on the actively learn website.

Explanation:

1. The first misconception occurs when we are told that even though many American students have been taught to believe that the Compact signed by the pilgrims was "a stepping stone toward self-government, a defining feature of American constitutional democracy. " it isn't actually the case, the article explains why, "After all, self-governing communities existed across Indigenous New England long before European migrants arrived...So American self-government, however one defines it, was not born in Plymouth."

2. Another misconception was that the Pilgrims showed kindness and love towards the indigenous people they met, For example, we are told that in 1802, "the future President John Quincy Adams" referring to the pilgrims said, "shown “kindness and equity toward the savages.” However, William Bradford another observer said about the land, “a hideous and desolate wilderness, full of wild beasts and wild men.”

Moreover, the article further says, "...colonists slaughtered Indigenous people on the banks of the Mystic River." This alludes to the fact that there was a very little period of kindness amongst the Pilgrims and the indigenous people they met.

Answer:

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

Explanation:

1. A great (and heartbreaking) novel that addresses issues with racism and police violence. “I’ve seen it happen over and over again: a black person gets killed just for being black, and all hell breaks loose. I’ve Tweeted RIP hashtags, reblogged pictures on Tumblr, and signed every petition out there. I always said that if I saw it happen to somebody, I would have the loudest voice, making sure the world knew what went down.

Now I am that person, and I’m too afraid to speak.”

― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

2.It raises awareness for Black Lives Matter as well as being a timely and important subject. “Your voices matter, your dreams matter, your lives matter. Be the roses that grow in the concrete.”

― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

3. I thought this story was beautiful, it made me cry and feel for Starr who lost two of her best childhood friends Natasha and Khalil.

Once upon a time there was a hazel-eyed boy with dimples. I called him Khalil. The world called him a thug.

He lived, but not nearly long enough, and for the rest of my life I'll remember how he died.

Fairy tale? No. But I'm not giving up on a better ending.”

― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

I HOPE THIS HELPS, ITS A RLLY GOOD STORY :)
