PLEASE HURRY. Between the two jobs, I would be making about $320 a week after taxes, so that the $179 in rent would have amounte

d to about 55 percent of my income, which is beginning to look “affordable.”(7) But Rainbow also falls through; they decide they want me to work part-time five days a week, not just on weekends. Furthermore, I have no control at the moment over what my days off will be. Howard has scheduled me to have Friday off one week, Tuesday and Wednesday the next, and I would have to do some serious sucking up to arrive at a more stable and congenial schedule.
Ergo, I either need to find a husband, like Melissa, or a second job, like some of my other coworkers. In the long run everything will work out if I devote my mornings to job-hunting, while holding out for a Park Plaza opening or, better yet, a legitimate apartment at $400 a month or $100 a week. But to paraphrase Keynes: in the long run, we’ll all be broke, at least those of us who work for low wages and live in exorbitantly overpriced motels.

(from page 170 of Nickel and Dimed)

In the excerpt above, the author suggests that she could “find a husband like Melissa.” What does this suggest?
A.
It takes two incomes for a household to make ends meet if you have a low-wage job.
B.
The author believes that men should be the breadwinners in a relationship.
C.
The author wants to point out how unscrupulous Melissa is.
D.
It is more important to find a husband than to find a good-paying job.
E.
Men have an easier time getting high-paying jobs than women, so Melissa is smart.

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

I had to do this project and its probably different from your experience but ill put my essay.

Explanation:

In 2019, if somebody told me that next year the world would be shut down and nobody could get within six feet of each other, I would have brought that person to a mental facility. The coronavirus is the most unimaginable, crazy period of time I (and probably the rest of the world) have ever lived through.

I’ve missed out on many things such as vacations, events, birthday parties, and fun activities. Towards the end of the sixth grade, there were all these fun activities and field trips planned since we were graduating elementary school. Only a week before all those activities were to start, the schools shut down and all we got was a driveby graduation at our school which I did actually enjoy but let's face it, that little event did not make up for the loads of things our grade was so very excited to do. My family was also supposed to go to Martha’s Vineyard with my aunt, cousin, and her fiance which we had started doing every summer, but we had to cancel it. The summer was nice though, as I went downtown a lot with my friends, went on my boat a lot, practiced sports, and swam in my  pool. I think we can all agree that the summer probably would have been better without a global pandemic to worry about.

Although it’s been hard, the coronavirus has had some upsides to it. I’ve been recently focusing on improving myself/health and if the pandemic hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have as much time daily and throughout the year to make these improvements for myself. For example, I’ve been going to the local CrossFit gym every day after school and I even participated in a nutrition challenge and won! It built up my self confidence a lot and I'm as fit and as healthy as I've ever been thanks to the extra time I've had to better myself. A lot of people have been saying things about the coronavirus making them have depression, anxiety, and social anxiety and I suppose I gained a bit of that (who hasn’t?) but it’s been really nice to get to focus on myself for a whole year and try new things I've always wanted to do but haven’t had time for. The pandemic has changed me, in some ways for the better because I take things less for granted now and really care about my health, state of mind, and wellbeing much more.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Fact: State Security clearance was required for government appointments

Statistics :  40% of Egyptians lived below the poverty line.

Explanation:

Revolution 2.0 is a chronological record of the uprising that occurred in Egypt in Jan 2011. The uprising led to the toppling of the then government led by Hosni Mubarak.

The fact used as evidence was that state security approval was sought and granted before anyone could hold any senior position in government or politics. The government achieved this by keeping a dossier - a record of activities- on everyone considered a threat or an activist, which was used to blackmail them in case they decided to raise a dissenting voice.

This control measure was used to ensure that no one in senior position of authority would had enough clout to lead a revolt or revolution.

The statistics was that 40% of Egyptians lived below the poverty line. Hence poverty was used as a weapon in oppressing and  subjugating the people.
