Christopher Reeve was born on September 25, 1952, in New York City. His mother was a journalist, and his father was a professor.

As a kid he played sports, did well in school, and liked acting. His passion for acting goes back to playing with his brother when they were little. Reeve acted in his first play at the age of nine. After attending college, taking acting classes, and acting in many plays and movies, Reeve landed his biggest role. In 1978, he played the title role in Superman. He received very positive reviews for his performance and starred as Superman in all the sequels. Reeve was soon acting as the lead role in dozens of movies after Superman. Once well-known, Reeve used his celebrity status for good causes, such as visiting very sick children through the Make-A-Wish foundation. He was also a track and field coach at the Special Olympics.
Besides acting, Reeve was also a licensed pilot and liked horseback riding. He learned to ride horses for a movie role, and he continued riding in his free time. Unfortunately, while riding one day in 1995, Reeve fell from his horse and became paralyzed from the neck down. Being confined to a wheelchair did not hold back Reeve from being socially active, and after many surgeries and rehabilitation, he decided to dedicate his life to helping people with spinal-cord injuries. He created the Christopher Reeve Foundation, which supports the improvement of the lives of people with disabilities and helps fund research to find a cure for paralysis. He was also politically active, working with senators to make sure that people with disabilities were treated fairly in the workplace. Reeve received many awards for his dedication to public service. He also wrote two books about his experiences, and a documentary was made about his life. Reeve passed away in 2004, but his legacy lives on today. He touched the lives of many people and showed us what it means to overcome extreme odds by never giving up.

Which fact would be most appropriate to include in a yearbook page about Reeve?

Reeve created a foundation to help people with disabilities.
Reeve spent time working with senators.
Reeve learned to ride horses for a role in a movie.
Reeve enjoyed playing with his brother when they were little.

Answer: <em>Reeve created a foundation to help people with disabilities.</em>

Explanation: <em>Working with senators is not the best thing to put in the yearbook and learning to ride horses for a role is not the best either. While playing with his brother when they were little is appropriate, you will want to include what good he has done, and starting a foundation for people with disabilities is the best thing to put.</em>

can some one give me six similarities and six differences/ on the compare and contrast of Sonnet 55 BY William Shakespeare,and t
UNO [17]

Six similarities:

- Love through years (the passing time)

- Love will live on them, no matter what happens with their lives

- 'Live' in the way that love will survive

- 'Death' love will last until they die

- Uses 'time' as imagery and as figurative language

- Use of metaphor:

In the letter, lines 11 and 12 meaning to have sex

In 55 Sonnet, But you shall shine bright... (Shakespeare compares memory to a brightly shining light)


Six differences:

- In the letter, the use of allusion (Chôkan is a village in Japan)

- In 55 Sonnet, the use of rhyme and alliteration

- The Sonnet starts with a negative adverb 'not'.

- The letter has more lines than the Sonnet.

- The Sonnet scheme is made of 3 quatrains and ends with a couplet. Its rhyme scheme is ababcdcdefefgg

- The letter has a tittle

- The letter is in the first person (the wife)

Death and loss. Death is a clear theme in Dahl's The Witches, but the concept of loss manifests in many smaller ways, developing the theme throughout the book.
