Answer:“It’s not like I never thought about being mixed race. I guess it was just that, in Brooklyn, everyone was competing to be exotic or surprising. By comparison, I was boring, seriously. Really boring.”

Culture shock knocks city girl Agnes “Nes” Murphy-Pujols off-kilter when she’s transplanted mid–senior year from Brooklyn to a small Southern town after her mother’s relationship with a coworker self-destructs. On top of the move, Nes is nursing a broken heart and severe homesickness, so her plan is simple: keep her head down, graduate and get out. Too bad that flies out the window on day one, when she opens her smart mouth and pits herself against the school’s reigning belle and the principal.

Her rebellious streak attracts the attention of local golden boy Doyle Rahn, who teaches Nes the ropes at Ebenezer. As her friendship with Doyle sizzles into something more, Nes discovers the town she’s learning to like has an insidious undercurrent of racism. The color of her skin was never something she thought about in Brooklyn, but after a frightening traffic stop on an isolated road, Nes starts to see signs everywhere—including at her own high school where, she learns, they hold proms. Two of them. One black, one white.

Nes and Doyle band together with a ragtag team of classmates to plan an alternate prom. But when a lit cross is left burning in Nes’s yard, the alterna-prommers realize that bucking tradition comes at a price. Maybe, though, that makes taking a stand more important than anything.

Explanation: Hope This Helps.

Describe Melantho’s character. Define the term foil and explain how Melantho is used as a foil for Eurycleria. (The Odyssey)
Pavlova-9 [17]

A foil in literature describes a character who contrasts with another character in order to make comparisons and highlight certain traits between these two persons.

Both Melantho and Eurycleia are servants of Odysseus. While Melantho is unloyal, (sleeping with the suitors while Odysseus is away) and treating him rudely when he returns disguised as a beggar, Eurycleia remains devoted and kind. Melantho is used as a foil for Eurycleia to showcase her good traits.

Lines 41–57: What main primary source does Euchner use for his analysis? Do you think Euchner used other primary sources? How do
Andreyy89

Answer:

Eunchner used a text written by Martin Luther King as a primary source and it is likely that he did not use any other primary source, since he does not cite any other documents in the text above.

Explanation:

A primary source is a document that reports on a historical event and that was built at the moment that this historical moment is happening. In the text above, we can see that the author references a text by King in relation to his position on the situation of blacks in America. It is likely that this reference is referring to a text written by Martin Luther King at the time of the marches in the name of civil rights, therefore, this text is a primary source.

However, the author does not cite any other documents, which indicates that King's text was the only primary source he used.
