Answer:
B. The students and lawmakers both gained a better understanding of what life is like for people living with a mobility disability.
Explanation:
The article shows the initiative to promote a day when school students and legislators would experience spending a day in a wheelchair, like someone who has a physical disability. The idea was to promote the perception of how difficult the life of disabled people is and therefore demands empathy and public policies that promote accessibility and respect for these people, since their lives have motor limitations.
Through this initiative, students and legislators gained a better understanding of what life is like for people with motor disabilities.
The two lines in this excerpt tht reflect those themes are:
"To make us wish that we were in his place.
"
This line explains perfecty the mentality of “the grass is greener on the other side”. Because its explicitly saying "we" are wishing to be in someone else place, meaning people are never satisfied with their own situation; they always think others have it better.
"Went home and put a bullet through his head."
This phrase makes reference to the theme of dissatisfaction.
<h3>What you are supposed to do is:</h3>
- Choose any one of the texts (Hint: Choose the shortest one)
- Use the races strategy: Restate, Analyze, Cite and Evidence to explain where you found the author's purpose (the reason behind the text). And prove how you found it.
- The author's purpose could be to inform, persuade or to entertain.
- So you would have to prove the author's purpose from the article, and how it (the evidence) supports the author's purpose
William of Normandy was obviously a French conqueror, so his own people tended to see him more favorably than the English. He came to England, killed its ruler, and took the throne for himself (thus becoming William I), so the English may have seen him as a usurper and a tyrant, whereas the French saw him as a victorious hero. This all happened in 1066, at the Battle of Hastings.
