Today, we are going to read "Tuesday of the Other June" What do you think the title means?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:“Be good, be good, be good, be good, my Junie,”

my mother sang as she combed my hair; a song,

a story, a croon,1

a plea. “It’s just you and me, two

women alone in the world, June darling of my

heart; we have enough troubles getting by, we

surely don’t need a single one more, so you keep

your sweet self out of fighting and all that bad

stuff. People can be little-hearted, but turn the

other cheek, smile at the world, and the world’ll

surely smile back.”

We stood in front of the mirror as she combed

my hair, combed and brushed and smoothed.

Her head came just above mine; she said when I grew another inch, she’d stand on a stool to brush my

hair. “I’m not giving up this pleasure!” And she laughed her long honey laugh.

My mother was April, my grandmother had been May, I was June. “And someday,” said my mother,

“you’ll have a daughter of your own. What will you name her?”

“January!” I’d yell when I was little. “February! No, November!” My mother laughed her honey laugh. She

had little emerald eyes that warmed me like the sun.

Every day when I went to school, she went to work. “Sometimes I stop what I’m doing,” she said, “lay

down my tools, and stop everything, because all I can think about is you. Wondering what you’re doing

and if you need me. Now, Junie, if anyone ever bothers you — ”

“ — I walk away, run away, come on home as fast as my feet will take me,” I recited.

“Yes. You come to me. You just bring me your trouble, because I’m here on this earth to love you and

take care of you.”

I was safe with her. Still, sometimes I woke up at night and heard footsteps slowly creeping up the

stairs. It wasn’t my mother, she was asleep in the bed across the room, so it was robbers, thieves, and

What impact did the search for the Northwest Passage had upon exploration and colonization?
ehidna [41]

The Northwest Passage achieved the crossing from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Crossed completely by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen from 1903 to 1906, the passage opened a new trade route for Europeans. Before that, the Vikings had used the passage as a trade route with the Inuits.

In 1609, Henry Hudson's voyage along the Hudson Bay triggered a Dutch settlement in New York and the area around the Hudson River.

HELP WILL GIVE BRAINIEST AND 20 POINTS!!! EXPLAIN THROUGHLY AND GIVE ABOUT 5-6 SENTENCES. Why do you think it’s important to hav
Zolol [24]

Answer:

It is important to have people of color and women in places of power in not just our country, but any country. People of color provide us with information about other cultures and can give ideas to people in power the natives could not come up with themselves. Having more females in power would also benefit society greatly. A female brain works differently than a male's. Government in America is roughly 75% male. If more females were added, the country would have better problem solving skills, and female voices would be heard. Back to people of color, these people will represent the diversity of the country and how racially equivalent this country has the power to be.
