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.

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>

What is the concept of friendship portrayed in both Society and Solitude and Chapter 1 of Nature
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Friendship is considered to be valuable but not necessarily vital.

In “Society and Solitude” Ralph Waldo Emerson portrays how he feels that the independence can strengthen friendships. On the other hand, In “Nature” Emerson shows that the friend are trivial, that even when between the people exist close bounds each person is ultimately alone, in both text he considers the friendship trivial.

Which sentence from “The Most Dangerous Game” suggests Person vs. Environment conflict?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

I guess the answer is option 4 and it shows the conflict between nature and man

Explanation:

In Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game", the story revolves around the protagonist Sanger Rainsford, a famed hunter. After he was stranded in an island owned by Colonel Zaroff, he became the hunted/ prey, thus the reversal of roles. This led to his conflicts in trying to keep himself safe from the barbaric hands of the Colonel who was adamant on killing him for sport.

Conflicts in a story is when one attribute is in opposition against another factor, leading to a difference in opinion and fighting between the two sides.

The case of man versus nature conflict can be seen/ found in the sentence "What perils that tangle of trees and underbrush might hold for him did not concern Rainsford just then."

This sentence is after Rainsford escaped to the forest, eluding the Colonel. He no longer cares what the environment will do to him as long as he is safe from the guns and hands of the Colonel.
