Answer:

The underground railroad

I need a eassay please actually follow the instructions (will report un useful answers)
jasenka [17]

Answer:

As online learning becomes more common and more and more resources are converted to digital form, some people have suggested that public libraries should be shut down and, in their place, everyone should be given an iPad with an e-reader subscription.

Proponents of this idea state that it will save local cities and towns money because libraries are expensive to maintain. They also believe it will encourage more people to read because they won’t have to travel to a library to get a book; they can simply click on what they want to read and read it from wherever they are. They could also access more materials because libraries won’t have to buy physical copies of books; they can simply rent out as many digital copies as they need.

However, it would be a serious mistake to replace libraries with tablets. First, digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more problems than print resources. A study done on tablet vs book reading found that people read 20-30% slower on tablets, retain 20% less information, and understand 10% less of what they read compared to people who read the same information in print. Additionally, staring too long at a screen has been shown to cause numerous health problems, including blurred vision, dizziness, dry eyes, headaches, and eye strain, at much higher instances than reading print does. People who use tablets and mobile devices excessively also have a higher incidence of more serious health issues such as fibromyalgia, shoulder and back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and muscle strain. I know that whenever I read from my e-reader for too long, my eyes begin to feel tired and my neck hurts. We should not add to these problems by giving people, especially young people, more reasons to look at screens.

Second, it is incredibly narrow-minded to assume that the only service libraries offer is book lending. Libraries have a multitude of benefits, and many are only available if the library has a physical location. Some of these benefits include acting as a quiet study space, giving people a way to converse with their neighbors, holding classes on a variety of topics, providing jobs, answering patron questions, and keeping the community connected. One neighborhood found that, after a local library instituted community events such as play times for toddlers and parents, job fairs for teenagers, and meeting spaces for senior citizens, over a third of residents reported feeling more connected to their community. Similarly, a Pew survey conducted in 2015 found that nearly two-thirds of American adults feel that closing their local library would have a major impact on their community. People see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered, benefits tablets can’t offer nearly as well or as easily.

While replacing libraries with tablets may seem like a simple solution, it would encourage people to spend even more time looking at digital screens, despite the myriad issues surrounding them. It would also end access to many of the benefits of libraries that people have come to rely on. In many areas, libraries are such an important part of the community network that they could never be replaced by a simple object.

Write an exposition about a job or career you would like to have in the future. (please write about a career of doctor.)
Travka [436]

Answer:

I would like to be a medical doctor in future.

Explanation:

I would like to work in the medical field, being a medical doctor has always been my dream. I grew up in a small town in a rural area with a small hospital where my father works as a pediatric doctor. I spent a lot of time in the hospital waiting room, and sometimes I'll be allowed to visit some of the patients. I liked to pretend I was a doctor and ask them questions and luckily for me they went along with me. From there my fascination with the medical career starts.

My friends and I all wanted to be doctors, but as we grew up everyone found their passion lies elsewhere. Everyone except me, the ambition only grew more with me, I have neevr been under any pressure to choose a future career because I've known what I wanted to be since I was 5 years old.

I want to keep an adaptable mindset about my future career, I don't want to confine myslef to one particular branch just yet, the whole medical field fascinates me and if at all I possible want to explore as much of it as I can.

I don't want to work in a city or even a small town, I want to work in places where access to medical care is difficult, I once toyed with the idea of working with Doctors Without Borders, but my options are open.

I am motivated by the challenge of providing medical care to people in very remote areas of the world.

Becoming a medical doctor has always been my dream, and that is what i will be.

Read the following excerpt from “Homecoming.”
Fynjy0 [20]

Atsidi stood just outside his family’s hogan in the heat of the early morning air and looked out across the vast landscape of shrubs that peppered the flat land of the reservation. In the distance, red rocks with shaved tops stood at attention. Behind them, a range of mountains wandered across the horizon as far as the eye could see. "Atsidi looked for signs of movement; the horses and wagon wheels bearing his brother back home would signal their approach with clouds of dry, dusty, disturbed earth. "

The bold sentence bears the answer. He is watching for his brother; he <em>wants to greet his brother.</em>
