Explanation:

''Flygirl'' is a novel by Sherri Smith and it is following a life journey of one young black woman called Ida Mae Jones. Her father was a pilot and her dream was to fly but she always taught that she does not have a chance for that. She got her chance when America entered World War II and she passed the pilot test of the WASP which was Women Airforce Service Pilots.

  • The biggest poverty in the book and in all beautiful events that happened to her since she passed the pilot test, got two friends and lived she dreamed that she was able to do that only by pretending that she is a white girl.

When her mother wanted to visit her she was pretending that she is a maid so the other people would not notice that she is actually a black-skinned girl.

  • In this novel, the main character is not experiencing absolute poverty, she is experiencing relative poverty. If she wasn't pretending that she is white-skinned she wouldn't be able to fly, met new friends there or be educated.

In The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell, what are three examples Rains-ford shows calmness throughout the short story
IRINA_888 [86]
Well, the first example that I can think is when Rainsford is standing on the deck of the yacht at night and he hears a gunshot. Trying to get a clearer look, Rainsford loses his balance and falls into the water. Rainsford doesn't try to swim back to the yacht (which is smart, as it would have been futile). The narrator states that "a certain coolheadedness had come to him; it was not the first time he had been in a tight place". Because he was able to stay calm, he was able to swim to Ship Trap Island. 
Later on, after General Zaroff had released Rainsford into the jungle, Rainsford kept telling himself repeatably "I must keep my nerve, I must keep my nerve". One final example is how Rainsford is able to keep calm during the hunt and think of ways to trick Zaroff. "An idea that held a wild chance came to him, and, tightening his belt, he headed away from the swamp".

Pros: social media can be used to connect people online and allow people who live in different regions of the world to interact together. Social media can form unity among people of different nations too. It can also inspire people to better their lives.

Cons: Social media can spread hate and toxicity. Social media can spread bullying that can lead to serious mental health problems. It can also spread unrealistic expectations of your body and life.
