English

Nookie1986 [14]3 years ago
4 0

This quote is meant to show American citizens how discriminatory using hyphens actually is. The point of the American country was equality for all of it's people, however, this equality has not come until recently for people of other nationalities, races, or genders.

The quote is asking the question, "if America is truly a non-discriminatory country, why do I have to categorize myself as Asian-American, rather than just American?"

Describe peyton's escape from the time he enters the water to getting back home
FromTheMoon [43]
<span>Peytons escape is a difficult one. Immediately as he hits the water the soldiers open fire on him and he must swim to evade being shot after surviving a hanging. The soldiers even bring in artillery to kill him but the current pulls him away. While in the water, nature becomes so alive and powerful he can hear the sounds, see tiny detail, and feel things like never before. He drives himself tirelessly through the day, forcing himself to make it home at all costs. He is so exhausted he believes he has fallen asleep while walking because suddenly he arrives in front of his home where his wife is waiting with open arms. As he is about to clasp her in his arms, the truth of the situation becomes apparent as there is a blow to the back of his neck. It is his rope snapping his neck as he was hanged, the escape was just a dream, not real at all. Peyton died in a noose, hung for burning the bridge.</span>

In the short story “Rules of the Game” by Amy Tan, what motivates the narrator to excel at chess?
Firdavs [7]

The desire to gain "invisible strength"


Amy Tan opens the story saying, "I was six when my mother taught me the art of invisible strength. It was a strategy

for winning arguments, respect from others, and eventually, though neither of us knew it

at the time, chess games." She talks about how gaining this "invisible strength" is one of the benefits of her chess playing. This isn't just mentioned in the first paragraph, but is shown again when she says, " I discovered

that for the whole game one must gather invisible strengths and see the endgame before

the game begins." She likes that chess has all these secrets that must never be told, and prides herself on learning these as she continues to get better.

THESE MUST BE AT LEAST A PARAGRAPH
ohaa [14]
1. Fast foods contain an insane amount of calories, lots of fat, and are pretty much high in everything you want your food to be low in like sodium. They have no nutritional value, whatsoever. For example, a McDonald's hamburger contains 250 calories, 469 mg of sodium, and 10 grams of fat. And this is for an everyday burger. A big mac contains 33 grams of fat, 563 calories, and 1,007 grams of sodium! In moderation, such fast food isn't that big of a deal, but having too much fast food you can develop diabetes or heart disease. The excessive amounts of sodium can lead to elevated blood pressure. The fats and trans fats can lead to clogged arteries. Again, I'm not saying eating one big mac can lead to such diseases. Just eat these foods in moderation.

2. A child should get from 1,000-1,800 calories a day (between the ages 2-18). For most children, that's about one big mac. Too many fats and calories can lead to obesity, atheroscerlosis, and clogged arteries. 

3. To help children with addiction to fast food, parents can have them d<span>rink water (thirst is often confused with hunger or food cravings), eat more protein, etc. Also, they can start slowly adding healthy aspects into their everyday diets. For example, gummy bears as dessert can be switched with various fruits. Instead of filling your tummy with artificial sugars, you get the natural sugars from fruits. Also, you can do simple things like blotting the oils off pizza with a napkin which cuts down on calories.

I hope this helps:) I spent a REALLY long time on this:)</span>
