Answer:

Recognizing Injustice and Facing Responsibility

Explanation:

Grant often criticizes his society. He bitterly resents the racism of whites, and he cannot stand to think of Jefferson’s unjust conviction and imprisonment. For most of the novel, however, he does nothing to better his lot. He sarcastically claims that he teaches children to be strong men and women despite their surroundings, but he is a difficult, angry schoolmaster. Grant longs to run away and escape the society he feels will never change. Like Professor Antoine, he believes no one can change society without being destroyed in the process.

Jefferson’s trial reinforces Grant’s pessimistic attitude. Grant sees the wickedness of a system designed to uphold the superiority of one race over another. He sees a man struck down to the level of a hog by a few words from an attorney. He sees a judge blind to justice and a jury deaf to truth. These injustices are particularly infuriating because no one stands up to defy them. The entire town accepts Jefferson’s conviction with a solemn silence. Even Grant stays silent, resisting his aunt and Miss Emma, who implore him to teach Jefferson how to regain his humanity.

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

In my opinion, video games are bad for both kids and teenagers because the genre can affect mood, and the amount of time they have to play can affect grades. “86% of the parents said their teenagers did spend too much time playing video games” ... As kids continue to play video games, they can easily become addicted. Certain genres of video games, including violent games, can cause children and parents to argue and can contribute to worsening grades in school. Although, some video games fall into the educational genre and are good for young kids because they can learn new things.  Some adults limit the number of times children play video games, while others don't, giving kids the chance to play whenever for however long. I believe that it is good to limit the amount of screen time kids have to play video games. Most kids would choose to play games late at night, which can cause them to be tired and sleepy in school. This can also cause grades to slip.

i hope this is good
