7. R18.4 In "So Much Happiness," what does the comparison in lines 1 through 8 show about

English
1 answer:
seraphim [82]2 years ago
5 0

Answer and Explanation:

"So Much Happiness" is a poem by author Naomi Shihab Nye. In lines 1 through 8, the speaker compares happiness and sadness to show that the former is, at the same time, an easy and uncontrollable feeling. Sadness gives us something to worry about, to tend to:

"With sadness there is something to rub against,

a wound to tend with lotion and cloth."

But with happiness, there is nothing to worry about. Happiness does not demand care. It is easy, free, light. So much so that, no matter where you live, or what kind of life you have, with happiness you learn to love it all.

"But happiness floats.

It doesn't need you to hold it down.

I doesn't need anything."

How has American changed over time? How has America's treatment of Native Americans changed over time? In what ways does America
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

America has changed over time in many different ways. For example, America has become more multicultural. Although America always had people of different nations, the trend is even more significant now, as people from almost every nation of the world live in America. We have also become more accepting of this, with laws that outlaw segregation and discrimination.

America's treatment of Native American people has also changed over time. During the early years of the country, Native Americans suffered greatly from loss of land, death, discrimination and poverty. In recent years, the government has tried to solve many of these problems by giving Native Americans citizenship, as well as more autonomy.

However, these problems are far from being solved. America still has a long way to go before Native Americans achieve full equality. Native Americans would benefit from better education. They also need more autonomy over their resources, and for their cultural legacy to be more protected.
