Answer:

Although the story is not at all serious because of how it is written, the background, the topic of the story is really serious. It's about consumerism and it's set in a future where humans have destroyed the Earth and the people that survived leave the Earth to live somewhere else. The topic is serious because nowadays we keep discussing the consequences of global warming and consumerism. However, the story is also told in an ironically way, it's about how thousands of years later everyone finds the Earth boring and they only visit the Gift Shop. I believe the author choose to do both because it's not hard to recognize that we, as a society, have similar behaviors as the ones descripted in the story.

Explanation:

To complete this exercise, you have to read the story <u>Earth (A gift shop)</u> written by Charles Yu and then answer the questions. The story is about a gift shop on the Earth that people visit to buy a souvenir and how they tried to do a museum to show things from the Earth but people who visited found it boring. It's a futuristic story about human behaviors that led to the destruction of the Earth.

What did the Civil Rights Act do?
77julia77 [94]

The Civil Rights Act banned racial discrimination.

The 15th Amendment granted African Americans the right to vote. In the U.S. Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson, it was ruled that racially separate facilities, if equal, did not violate the Constitution. Finally, in the U. S. Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education, it was ruled that racial segregation in public schools are unconstitutional.
