Answer:

Those words were like magic because it helped him to gain approval from the teachers who punished them when they spoke their native Navajo language.

Explanation:

In the mission school which Ned gained entrance to, it was forbidden for the students to speak their native language. Students caught violating this law were punished by having their mouths washed with soap. Their native names were also replaced with English names.

Ned soon learned that whenever he was called upon by the teachers, the best way to gain their approval was to answer with the words, "Yes, teacher." Answering with his native language would earn him some serious punishment.

Imagine that you are attending the Barnard College Graduation Ceremony as a guest of a graduate. You are a member of the audienc
Marta_Voda [28]

I am seated in one of the last rows of chairs reserved for the audience who will attend the Barnard College Graduation Ceremony. The climate is pleasant and that is why everyone wears comfortable clothes, but consistent with the occasion. We didn't see a cloud in the sky and the environment has a fresh wind, totally balancing the feeling of warmth coming from the sun.

The chairs are white, plastic, but big enough to accommodate my body.

A few minutes after my arrival, the ceremony began, soon the graduates entered and settled in the place reserved for them and in a few minutes we can hear Toni Morrison's speech.

The speech was very emotional and highlighted the challenges and advantages of our professionals who were being trained that day. An important point of the speech, impressed me, when Morrison pointed out the importance of this new generation of professionals looking for equality and gender in their workplaces, since the women present there and those who still entered the job market, struggled to get their diplomas and have a good academic life and for that reason they deserve to be respected and have their rights guaranteed, as well as their wishes, capacity and autonomy respected.

Lunna [17]

I think its B. Joe's deep desire to please Pip.

Because Pip already knows he can not read but he wants her to be pleased by him, so he says he can read.
