or you could put

To force acceptance of the new reality in which she lives.

Explanation:

Explanation for Answer 1:

showing that Claudette does not feel she has the social skill needed for human interactions. Claudette's anxiety about the dance is clear when she begins to practice in secret and repeats to herself, “Mouth shut—shoes on feet!

Explanation for Answer 2:

Claudette is a girl who was raised by wolves. She lived by the ways of the wolves and knew nothing of human behavior. However, one day a group of nuns found her and took her to be raised as a human child, supplying what she believed she was and forcing her to assume human characteristics and customs.

One of the big changes that Claudette went through was having to wear shoes and not eat them like wolves do. So whenever the instinct to take your shoes off came, Claudette used the mantra that reminded her to behave like a human being. The mantra was "mouth closed and shoes on the feet".

What percent of a race do you have to be in order to be considered that race?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

The Census Bureau lets individuals self-identify. Since the 2000 count, people have been permitted to check multiple boxes for race or ethnicity. But history has shown a wide variance in how people of different backgrounds come to be identified as part of ethnic groups.

Notably, the issue of racial identity surfaced recently following the fatal shooting of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, who was African-American. The boy's shooter, George Zimmerman, initially was identified as white, prompting accusations that he racially profiled Martin. Once it was reported that Zimmerman's mother is Latino and his father is white, he was identified as Hispanic and later as white Hispanic.

The early 20th century's "one-drop rule" stated that a person with a single drop of African blood in their lineage was considered black, and the classification was used for discriminatory purposes.
