Many people know that trash is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don’t know is that trash has become a problem in

outer space too. Years of space exploration have left tons of “space junk” in orbit around the planet. According to BBC News, there are more than 22,000 pieces of junk in space around the earth. And these are just the items that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes or radars. There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can’t see. Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds, so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to people, particularly astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spacecraft, it could damage the vehicle. That’s because the faster an object moves, the greater the impact if the object collides with something else. To make things worse, when two objects in space collide, the two objects break into many smaller pieces. This happened in 2009 when a working United States satellite collided with a Russian satellite that was no longer functioning. The collision caused the satellites to break into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the items of space junk. To help minimize additional space junk, countries around the world have agreed to limit the time their space tools stay in orbit to 25 years. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth’s atmosphere, or the mass of gases that surround the earth, after that. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up. Many scientists are also proposing different ways to clean up space junk. In England a metal harpoon is being tested that can be fired into space trash, grip the trash, and then pull the space junk into the earth’s atmosphere where it would burn up. The Germans have been planning a space mission with robots that would collect pieces of space trash and bring them back to Earth so that they can be safely destroyed. In 2007 the Chinese tried to blow up one of its older satellites with a missile. Unfortunately, the explosion only created thousands of smaller pieces, adding junk in space! "In our opinion the problem is very challenging, and it's quite urgent as well," said Marco Castronuovo, an Italian Space Agency researcher who is working to solve the problem. One reason that it’s urgent is that countries are sending more and more objects into space. Many of these objects are tools that help people use their cell phones or computers. "The time to act is now; as we go farther in time we will need to remove more and more fragments," he says. 1. The article above is written using a very specific text structure.

How is Macbeth’s conflict intensified by the events in scene 4?what lines from his aside in scene 4(lines 48-53) develops the au
anastassius [24]
1. During the events of Scene IV, Duncan announces that his successor will be his own son, Malcolm. This obviously angers Macbeth because he thought the next king would be him, as prophesied by the three witches. This is the moment when he decides for certain that he has to kill Duncan if he wants to take the throne for himself. He concocted a plan along with his wife, and together they murdered the king. 

2. This is his aside which he says in the scene:

<em>(aside) The prince of Cumberland! That is a step
</em><em>On which I must fall down, or else o'erleap,
</em><em>For in my way it lies. Stars, hide your fires;
</em><em>Let not light see my black and deep desires.
</em><em>The eye wink at the hand, yet let that be
</em><em>Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see.
</em>
As you can see here, what Macbeth is showing is his contempt for Malcolm who will become king just because his father is the king at the moment, so he can inherit the throne regardless of whether he deserves it or not. Macbeth believes he should be the one to get the throne because of his accomplishments, and because of the prophecy which said he would get it eventually. In this aside, he is showing us that he has dark thoughts, meaning that this is the moment when he realized that he has to kill Duncan in order to fulfill his goals.

Find three points of "Little Boy Crying" poem and explain these three points briefly. You should tell me what the poem is about.
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The poem is about a boy by the name of Steven who became agitated and eventually cried from losing a match in Fortnite. First, he threw his controller at his parent's flat screen TV, obliterating it with full force. Then he screamed erratically at his parents for hindering his concentration when they had not done so. A demon began spawning out of Steven as his screaming elevated to a banshee level and his face reddened. In the midst of rage, he picked up his cat and slammed it on the floor, breaking its neck. He began crying and laughing simultaneously. The parents witnessed this and called the police on him. When they arrived, Steven was arrested without much interrogation. He was put in juvenile detention with multiple pending charges and while he was locked up, his parents decided to disown him. Steven no longer had a home. When he gained knowledge of this, his inner demon formed again and he attacked a guard recklessly. Had the other guards not come in time, he would have been dead. Steven was transferred to a state prison with felony charges and is currently serving 50 years with no bail.

Explanation:

I read the poem.
