Answer:

In Indian Horse, Saul Indian Horse experiences many different forms and degrees of racial prejudice. There’s the racism implicit in his being kidnapped, sent to St. Jerome’s, and forbidden from speaking his own native tongue—i.e., the suggestion that his entire society is inferior to white Canadian society. Then there’s the condescending racism of sports journalists who call him a “crazy redskin” and other belittling terms, even when they’re praising his prowess. Saul experiences a huge amount of direct, verbal racism from white peers and sports opponents, who never miss an opportunity to call him names. And finally, he experiences his share of direct violence from racist whites who try to beat him into submission. All these behaviors stem from the fact that Saul is an Indigenous Canadian living in a country run by white people, many of whom believe that Saul is inherently inferior because of his race. This racism seems to spring from an irrational need on the part of white Canadians to prove that Indigenous Canadians are inferior to them. During Saul’s time at St. Jerome’s Christian school, he’s beaten and abused by the racist white teachers. These teachers regularly tell Saul and his classmates that their indigenous culture is inferior to white Canadian culture. Of course, the indigenous students are not, in fact, inferior to whites, and so the teachers use violence to force them into submission. In a similar sense, most of the white Canadians who hit and bully Saul are motivated by their own failures. Saul is a talented hockey player who regularly defeats his bigger, more privileged white opponents. After particularly humiliating defeats, white hockey players or racist townspeople take out their anger on Saul and his Indigenous Canadian teammates. In other words, Saul is evidently better than they are at hockey, which is an important sport in Canada, and a traditionally European sport, which makes Saul’s success even more humiliating for them. As a result, Saul’s white opponents try to compensate by asserting their power in other ways. The cumulative effect of years of racism and prejudice on Saul is almost incalculable. But it’s clear that racism ruins some of his potential in life by leaving him angry and frustrated. For a time, Saul is able to ignore the racism of his teachers and hockey opponents. But eventually, their cruelty proves too overwhelming for him, and he gives in to the (very understandable) temptation to fight back. The result is that Saul grows into an aggressive and embittered man—so much so that he’s kicked out of the NHL in spite of his enormous talent as a hockey player. The central tragedy of the book is that racism, in all its forms and degrees, crushes Saul’s spirit and turns what could have been a brilliant athletic career into years of fighting, soul-searching, and drinking.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
Andrew [12]

According to the excerpt, the option that identifies an implicit meaning one could draw from it would be the second one: "Locke is unfamiliar with the term <em>idea</em>".

In the excerpt, Locke is not asking what Idea is nor is he being uncertain about the relationship between speculative and practical ideas. He seems to never heard it before and the exact meaning fades away.

That's why he asks what it represents and not its definition or for someone to repeat the explanation. He just needs an example to clarify the boundaries of the <em>idea's</em> meaning.

Essay to be come a medical assistant

I want to be a medical assistant because…

<span>I want to be a medical assistant because I love helping people and I want to make a difference. I hope my smile will be contagious and actually help someone through their day. There is so much hurt and pain in the world and too many people turning their backs on each other. A little kindness, happiness, and love can go a long way. I may only be me, but I refuse to give up and sometimes it only takes one to make a difference. I will strive to be the best and expect more. Patients need more than a treatment plan because they also need to be surrounded by hope, confidence, and respect. I want others to not be afraid to lead by example and prove that being a CMA (AAMA) is the greatest medical profession one can be. Becoming a Certified Medical Assistant (AAMA) is my career choice and a goal I will achieve with much pride and honor! Medical Assistants are trained in such a broad spectrum that our profession is envied by others and sought out more than any other assisting career in the nursing field. I love informing family, friends, strangers, and/or patients, that, “Yes!” I will be a Certified Medical Assistant by the AAMA. It is a respectable career with the rewards of helping someone who needs you. </span>

<span>As a medical assistant you have the privilege to assist and maintain the balance and routine of the everyday operations in a medical office. You are needed in providing a positive and healing atmosphere, not only for patients, but for your colleagues as well. As medical assistants we can perform routine tasks and procedures such as obtaining vital signs, administering medications and injections, collecting specimens for lab testing, and recording medical information. Not only is a medical assistant certified in tasks and procedures, but we are trained and certified in the administrative and clinical field as well. If you work well with others, love the office setting, and can multitask, then medical assisting is the profession for you. It can be a lifelong commitment or a door to further your career. Whichever reason you choose medical assisting, you will not be disappointed because this is the best choice for you. You will have many choices for obtaining your education and certification, but I recommend only the best. This would be attending a medical assisting program accredited by the CAAHEP and obtaining your credentials with the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA). The AAMA is the top dog and the best of the best, so don’t settle for second best…Go for the Gold! Reward yourself and become a CMA (AAMA) because the rewards and benefits will outweigh all the obstacles you encountered to get there.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>That is just an example I suggest you don't use this as your essay :)</span>
