Answer:
Mr. Lewis believes that everything should be put out there for the world to see, he doesn't believe in keeping silent in the face of the crimes gangs are committing around the neighborhood.
Maverick believes in keeping silent and following the unwritten rule of the neighborhood about snitching.
Explanation:
Mr. Lewis doesn't believe in keeping silent in the face of the crimes gangs are committing around the neighborhood, he pointed out that unlike the rest of the neighborhood he isn't scared of king. As a war veteran he thinks the dangers he faced such as his prosthetic leg and the scar on his stomach "after some white boys cut me 'cause i drank from their fountain" are much more serious experiences compared to "King's games". "I done face a whole lot worse than some so-called king. Ain't nothing he can do but kill me, and if that's how how i gotta go for speaking the truth, that's how how i gotta go".
Mr. Lewis pointed out the relative absurdity of gangs compared to racial segregation and war, and how they lead to dissention within a community that must stick together in the face of oppression. He called out the way in which King uses silence and fear to control everyone in Garden Heights including Maverick.
Maverick calls Mr. Lewis crazy for snitching on live television, saying that "Man, you cant be going on live TV, snitching like that. You a dead man walking, you know that, right?". He believes in following the unwritten code of minding your own business and not snitching, to protect himself and his family.
Maverick was once a gang member and he knows how gangs work "Nah, but I know how the game work", so trying to live a clean life he thinks keeping silent and keeping his family safe is what is more important to him than doing what he knows isn't even going to change anything around the neighborhood.
I think it might be called a phrase.
Answer: The missing passage to this question is "Sugar is different from honey. It offers a stronger sweet flavor, and like steel or plastic, it had to be invented. In the Age of Sugar, Europeans bought a product made thousands of miles away that was less expensive than the honey from down the road. That was possible only because sugar set people in motion all across the world—millions of them as slaves, in chains; a few in search of their fortunes. A perfect taste made possible by the most brutal labor: That is the dark story of sugar."
<em>The details in this passage support the author's purpose is " to help inform the readers about the reasons why sugar was so inexpensive and why the sugar industry was dependant on the use of slavery.</em>
Explanation:
In the book, the process of how sugar was made by slaves is described in full detail. The slaves were abused and were chained together so that the European men could make a large profit without paying for the labor. Honey was, and is still expensive, but was a natural product while sugar had to be invented and processed to be eaten and used for medicinal purposes. In those times, only the wealthy were able to buy this type processed sugar. Many slaves died while working on the sugar plantations, they were beaten if they did not work fast. They also worked all day and way into the night without breaks. Many men became millionaires off the blood and sweat of slaves.
This passage is from the book "Sugar Changed the World: A Story of Magic, Spice, Slavery, Freedom, and Science." This book was written both Marina Budhos and Marc Aronson in the year 2010.
