Phones should not be used in class because they are a major distraction. If a phone goes off in class not only does it distract the owner of the phone, but everyone in class instantly looks at the person whose phone went off. Which also brings up the problem with social media, and texting. Oxford learning states that "Students check their phones in the classroom an average of more than 11 times a day. That can add up to a lot of time spent distracted from schoolwork." But with that problem its also a sign of immaturity, In my opinion if they are gonna be on their phone anyways just let them. Because there is always that one kid that if you say No they will do it anyways. I think a solution for most the distraction is to say "Everyone turn your phones on silent, If I hear it go off its mine." That stops the hole surrounding distraction.
<u>Answer to Part A:</u> American Gothic represents Grant Wood's personal view of midwesterners.
The speaker in the text intends to defend the meaning of the painting from claims of its mocking depictions of midwesterners. It is stated a the painting had a deeper meaning about society, one that goes beyond the common observer's understaing.
The rest of the options are not the text's central idea since:
- The atmosphere of the painting does not revolve around medieval times, since that era ended in the 15th century. The figures in the painting represent americans, nation that was founded much later in time.
- In the text, it is not considered that the painting is a joke - quite the contrary -. The counter-argument to this is supported by the speaker.
- There are no political parties involved in this context, which denies the fact that the painting is a political statement.
<u>Answer to Part B:</u> "The irony is that the original painting itself may have been making more of a comment on society than many observers realize".
This statement supports the idea that beyond the observer's judgement on the depiction of the characters in the painting, the real meaning of this work might comprise the painter's personal view on the society being disputed over, the midwesterns.
Answer:
shape metal by melting it and pouring it into a mold
Explanation:
To cast is to pour a melted metal into a mold so that it acquires the form of the mold. A cast piece is not formed under pressure but rather left to take on the shape of the mold in which it is poured.
Casting can be used for many different types of material, of which some of the most common are plastics and metals since they can be melted relatively easily and their is a demand for them to be made into certain shapes.
