Answer:
Bud's ability has changed for the better, contributing greatly to his courage to go looking for his father.
Explanation:
When Bud went to live with the Amoses, he was very afraid to impose himself, to defend himself and to be faithful to his own wishes. In this case, he behaved with great passivity, which contributed to the Amoses being extremely abusive towards him and promoting a completely inhospitable and unpleasant environment. This allowed Bud to understand, that acting the way others wanted did not protect him from anything, but left him in a disadvantageous position and so he decided to impose himself, take courage and face everything that tried to destabilize him.

Answer and Explanation:
The narrator of a "A Participant's First-Hand of Account the Boston Tea Party" describes two instances where citizens of Boston (Captain O'Connor and the tall, aged man) attempted to take tea of the boat for their own use rather than tossing it aboard as planned by the colonists. This angered the colonists because the plan was devised as a rebellion against Britain and the purpose was to prevent the taxed goods from entering the market. Stealing these goods rather than destroying them would contradict this purpose.
The quote that shows this purpose is in paragraph 2 of the account, "On the day preceding the seventeenth, there was a meeting of the citizens of the county of Suffolk, convened at one of the churches in Boston, for the purpose of consulting on what measures might be considered expedient to prevent the landing of the tea, or secure the people from the collection of the duty".
Note: "Collection of the duty" as used in this sentence is used to refer a tax on imported goods entering a market.
Answer:
The main argument being made by Johnson in "The End of the Black American Narrative" is that there has been only one narrative predominantly used for the African - American culture and history which has to a large degree defined African- Americans as a group.
Explanation:
Johnson argues that this narrative has been the enslavement, oppression, victimization and fight for equal civil rights and equal political standing of African-Americans in an inherently racist society. He further argues that this narrative has been true since slavery until the Civil Rights movement but is no longer relevant as a result of the Civil Rights movement and its outcomes. The reason for this, Johnson states, is because today’s African- American population is a culmination of too many diverse people; consisting of members with diverse and cultural backgrounds and histories, and people who are too socio-economically varied to still use such a one-sided story to describe such a diverse people. Therefore, this narrative is not longer completely true, nor does it paint a complete picture. The author does not dismiss the once-relevance of this narrative but clarifies that it is dated and does more harm than good in the 21st century as that particular story does not apply anymore as it once used to.
