Read this excerpt from Little Brother and answer the following questions in complete sentences using proper grammar and punctuat

ion:
Marcus and his father are discussing new regulations put in place by the Department of Homeland Security

Dad was driving me nuts, though.

"You're being paranoid, Marcus," he told me over breakfast one day as I told him about the guys I'd seen the cops shaking down on BART the day before.

"Dad, it's ridiculous. They're not catching any terrorists, are they? It's just making people scared."

"They may not have caught any terrorists yet, but they're sure getting a lot of robbers off the streets. Look at the drug dealers—it says they've put dozens of them away since this all started. Remember when those druggies robbed you? If we don't bust their dealers, it'll only get worse." I'd been mugged the year before. They'd been pretty civilized about it. One skinny guy who smelled bad told me he had a gun, the other one asked me for my wallet. They even let me keep my ID, though they got my debit card and Fast Pass. It had still scared me witless and left me paranoid and checking my shoulder for weeks.

"But most of the people they hold up aren't doing anything wrong, Dad," I said.

This was getting to me. My own father! "It's crazy. For every guilty person they catch, they have to punish thousands of innocent people. That's just not good." "Innocent? Guys cheating on their wives? Drug dealers? You're defending them, but what about all the people who died? If you don't have anything to hide—"

"So you wouldn't mind if they pulled *you* over?" My dad's histograms had proven to be depressingly normal so far.

"I'd consider it my duty," he said. "I'd be proud. It would make me feel safer."

Easy for him to say.

In three to five sentences, explain Marcus’ current stage of identity development. Use examples from the text. As a reminder, the different stages of identity development are:

* Identity Diffusion - occurs when an adolescent does not make a commitment to any particular roles, values, or goals.
* Identity Foreclosure - occurs when someone makes a commitment without considering other possibilities.
* Identity Moratorium - occurs when an individual is in the midst of a crisis over a particular role or value and tries out alternatives in order to make a commitment. *Identity Achievement - occurs when someone makes a personal decision or commitment after going through a crisis and exploring his or her options.

In “The Lagoon” by Joseph Conrad, how does Arsat’s storytelling differ from the narration of the larger story?
pshichka [43]

ANSWER:<em><u> A. Arsat's story is told with great passion</u></em>

In Joseph Conrad's "The Lagoon", we can find a passionate storytelling by Arsat, contrasting the larger story's tone. This passionate tone is evidenced with the attached excerpt, where Arsat said "I shall speak to you of love" followed by a description of an intense whisper and a loud speech. This paints a picture of a passionate narration.

Write a story that explains the saying, "two heads are better than one"​
snow_tiger [21]

<u>Following is the story that explains the saying: Two heads are better than one.</u>

<u></u>

I told you about number one last week. Today, I'll talk about phrases that use different numbers. Some issues are tough to resolve. However, several number expressions might be useful. For example, if we add two and two, we could receive the correct result. We all know that having two heads is preferable to having one. To solve an issue, it is always preferable to collaborate with another individual.

There are moments when there are no two ways about it. Some issues have a single remedy. You can't be in two minds about this. But, with hope, we'll be able to fix the problem with two shakes of a lamb's tail. We might be able to get our answers swiftly and simply.

We can sometimes kill two birds with one stone. That is, we can accomplish two objectives with a single effort or action. But keep in mind that two wrongs do not equal a right. If you do something horrible to someone, you should not do the same to them. You don't want another to accompany you on a date with your friend. You might just tell your friend that "two's a company, three's a crowd."

I had to learn the three Rs while I was in primary school. Studying, reading, and arithmetic are among the most important skills. These three words don't all start with the letter "R." They do, however, have an "R" sound. My lecturers would give me three cheers when I did well in math. They conveyed their gratitude and admiration for the excellent work they had done.  

Some of my classmates were perplexed and didn't grasp their coursework. They were on sixes and sevens at the time. They didn't care if they graduated from high school. They didn't see much of a difference between the two options. That was their situation: six of one, half a dozen of the other. They were, nevertheless, overjoyed when they finished their studies and graduated from high school. They were on cloud nine. They were on a high.  

Students who perform well in school are hired nine times out of ten. Some people work in an office, doing the same thing every day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For this type of business, you do not need to dress to the nines or wear your nicest attire.

One of my pals applied for a better position at her office last year. I didn't think she'd get it. I felt she had a one-hundred-to-one chance of getting the job. Others in her office felt her odds were one in a million. One of the reasons was that she had been spotted grabbing forty winks at work. During the day, she slept at her desk for small amounts of time. Her boss, on the other hand, assigned her to the new position at the eleventh hour – at the very last minute. I think her fortunate number was called.
