The theme of the story is about conquering your fears. Martin is afraid of the elevator for various reasons. He was afraid that he would get stuck in it or maybe it would fall. So he attempted to take the stairs, but his father said he was a coward and weak. If he took the stairs he would get hurt. Knowing he gets bullied at school. He wanted to prove he was strong. He forced himself to take the elevator. But then a fat woman got on with him. This drove his fear and anxiety of the elevator even more. "Maybe the elevator was having trouble because of how heavy he was; What if we got stuck between floors? What if it fell?" (Sleator Paragraph 19). He almost got off but he couldn't reach the buttons. We watched as he tried very hard to conquer his fear. He ended up somehow getting off eventually as the woman somehow always managed to catch him on the elevator. But as he took the stairs he hurt his legs and got crutches. Forcing him to take the elevator. But of course, there she was. The main idea was conquering your fears for yourself and not others.

For the second paragraph, it's more personal, and I don't know your life. But as a general theme of everyone. You can say:

I relate to this story because when I was young I had a huge fear of ____. My parents/guardian helped me to overcome it by ____.  Or I had a fear of ____ and because I got bullied by it, I ______. We all have a fear of something. And it's important to overcome it so that you don't miss out on life. And you can be prepared for anything. As people, we can do anything. One of the hardest feats is to overcome fear. Overcome fear, overcome the hardships of life.

Hope this helps.

Name the social movements that altered American society after World War I
laiz [17]
There were multiple significant social movements after World War I including:

1) Harlem Renaissance- This movement revolved around the explosion of African-American music, art, writing, and culture. During this era, many African-American citizens lived in big cities  (like Harlem) and used their talents in order to captivate American citizens. This was a small step towards improved relations between white and black citizens, as they found common interests in things like jazz music.

2) Women's Rights Movement- Women played a significant part in the war effort during World War I. This prompted many women to demand more rights, especially voting rights. This movement that started right after World War I resulted in the passing of the 19th amendment, which granted women the right to vote.

What environmental factors contributed to the Spanish Flu and its spread?
Nadya [2.5K]
I think this might help.

Avian influenza (bird flu) has the potential to cause a healthcare crisis of unprecedented global dimensions. Many predict a global pandemic far worse than the 1918 Spanish Flu, which killed 40 million to 50 million people. A larger, denser global population, coupled with modern transportation systems of both goods and people, could result in a pandemic killing far more people worldwide. The consequences of such a pandemic would stretch beyond just public health. International relations, commerce, politics, travel, medicine, and economic and social infrastructures would be affected due to widespread infection and worldwide mitigation efforts.
