Hello. You forgot to say that this question is about the article “Why Literature Matters”.

Answer:

In her article, Dana Gioia reports on the points of society that are reached by the decrease in reading among young people in the society we know. To reinforce her argument, she shows evidence of how the lack of habit of reading, any type of book, has impacted Americans not only on a personal level, but on an economic and civic level as well, since reading provides a strong knowledge in these areas. According to her, when these things are affected in an individual who is not in the habit of reading, the whole society suffers and the whole nation becomes weakened.

What is the purpose of lobbying?.
Rasek [7]

In order to sway a decision about a legislative or administrative action, lobbying is the practice of directly approaching or encouraging others to approach a member of the legislative, executive, or quasi-public bodies of government.

  • It encompasses any efforts made by people, organized organizations, or other lawmakers to sway lawmakers and authorities. "Lobbying" (also spelled "lobby") is a form of advocacy with the intention of influencing decisions made by the government by individuals or more commonly by lobby groups.
  • In a letter to a member of Congress, a Duke official requests that they abstain from voting on an amendment that would be presented during the bill's discussion. This is lobbying since it offers a viewpoint on a specific piece of legislation.

Thus this is the purpose of lobbying.

What makes the Japanese Relocation video in this lesson a primary source?
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

O It includes firsthand interviews with relocated Japanese Americans.

Explanation:

A primary source is a source that contains either a first-hand account of the event or any source created at the time of the event. The word "primary" means that is genuine and provides the best and most truthful version of the event(s).

For a source to be considered 'primary' in nature, it has to contain details that tell the most truthful and original information. It should not be revised, or copied, or reproduced from a source.

So, the Japanese Relocation video can be considered a primary source because of the fact that it contains firsthand interviews with the relocated Japanese Americans. By hearing about the historical event from the ones present during that time, the information can be deemed genuine and valid.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

Who can help me write a essay about “I believe” needs to be 450 words or more and my topic/ title is “doing things I love in my
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

In explanation, I will do your intro.

Explanation:

I believe in doing things that I love in my own way. I stay true to myself, no matter what anyone says. I think that it is important to be yourself and follow your dreams. A way to do that is by doing the things that I love. However, in doing that I don't let people tell me how to live my life.

Pointers

-You can change what I have if you'd like..this is just an idea to inspire you!

-Think about how society might tell you to do something different, but that you defy what society says.

-Use figurative language (metaphors, personification, etc.) to make your essay more interesting and colorful!

-Use your personality. If you let your personality shine in your essay, you're sure to capture the attention of your teacher! (Of course, don't go overboard!)

I hope this helps!! :)

How does Alma-Tedema’s interpretation of the story of Pandora draw on and transform the story? a)He focuses on the moment before
statuscvo [17]

The correct answer is A. The artist portrays Pandora as she looks upon the jar with absolute focus. We can see the ocean in the background, but she is oblivious to it. All she can see is the jar, and we feel the gut-wrenching curiosity that torments her. In the painting she does not open the jar, but from her face we can tell that she probably will.
