Answer:

she felt that she and her family belonged to neither American or Canadian side.

Explanation:

The young boy's mother told the Canadian border guard that they are coming from and going to a place called "Standoff" because she felt that she and her family belonged to neither American or Canadian side.

The mother simply wanted to be "Blackfoot" and felt that her identity should not rest on American or Canadian Blackfoot. The mothers used the place "Standoff" because that's where she felt like she belonged, a place which neither America or Canada owned, when asked about her citizenship.

For the movie “the hate you give” please
alukav5142 [94]

Answer: I'm not going to write the paragraph, but i'll give you the details:

Movie Title: The Hate U Give

Initial release: October 19, 2018 (Nigeria)

Director: George Tillman Jr.

setting (place) · Garden Heights, an inner-city neighborhood in the southern part of the United States, possibly a fictionalized version of the Georgetown neighborhood of Jackson, Mississippi, and the suburbs associated with that city. the time period is 21st century.  

The protagonist is Starr Carter. shes very caring and intelligent for her age. Shes a tomboy, and isn't into socializing very much

The antagonist is Hailey, one of her so-called best friends at the white prep school her parents pay for her to attend. Hailey makes increasingly racially-insensitive comments aimed at Starr, like the fried chicken “joke” she makes to Starr during a game of basketball. Hailey also represents the colorblind form of racism that reduces people like Khalil to gang bangers who deserve the violence they face at the hands of white police officers. By the end of the novel, Starr decides to end her connection to Hailey.

Another human antagonist in the story is King, the drug kingpin in charge of Garden Heights’s most powerful gang, to which Starr’s family has a personal connection. Throughout the text, King is portrayed as the driver behind the propagation of gun violence and death in the community, forces which Starr’s family try to shield their children from and fight against by remaining in their home neighborhood. King causes conflicts at Khalil’s funeral and at the end of the novel, during a faceoff that almost turns violent with Starr’s dad, Maverick.

Finally, in the category of Man v. Self, Starr faces an internal struggle between her private identity in Garden Heights and her public one at Williamson Prep. Starr tries to keep these identities separate, even denying that she knew Khalil after the news reports about his death reach her friends at Williamson. Starr is embarrassed of how each facet of her identity might be interpreted in each location; she worries about how her friends are too scared to visit her house, yet she keeps the identity of her white boyfriend, Chris, a secret from her family. By the novel’s end, Starr realizes that she can not sustain this cycle of separating herself depending on where she is, and she decides to embrace her full identity.

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

It is either "B" or "D"

Explanation:

It might be "B" because they are talking about the American and British armies and how the Americans had a smaller army than the British.

But I also say "D" because, they are talking about the differences between communication 700 years ago and how it changed to now.

I think it's "D", that's what I would go with.

Hope I could help you.
