How has Simone Biles coped with the pressures of fame?

1 answer:

6 0

Explanation: As a three-time World Champion, Simone Biles was expected by many to take home the gold in Rio in 2016.

The odds have swiftly turned the 19-year-old into a media darling, which is why she is the latest star to grace the cover of TIME magazine - and is branded in the headline as 'The Game Changer'.

She is so far ahead of the pack that even 2008 Olympic all-around gold medalist Nastia Liukin claims that the 4'8 Texan phenom is 'in a caliber with nobody else in the world'.

However, in an interview with TIME, Simone revealed that there is one serious downside to being the best in the world. ' I feel like it’s harder because everyone knows I’m the three-time world champion - it’s almost like people are waiting for something bad to happen,' she said. 'That kind of stresses me out a bit.'

And the pressure isn't just on Simone to win the individual all-around gold. She will also be expected to help defend the Team gold that the legendary Fierce Five won at the London 2012 Games.

She will be joined in the task by the current Olympic all-around champion Gabby Douglas, her fellow Fierce Five teammate Aly Raisman, and two other Olympic debuts: Laurie Hernandez, 16, and Madison Kocian, 19.

Explanation

Imperialism was a social, cultural, political, and economic phenomenon of the early nineteenth century in which the main powers began to explore, conquer and colonize the territory of Africa, Asia and Oceania. During this time, Europeans took advantage of the natural resources that were in those continents to promote the industrial revolution. This harmed the native communities of this continent that left them in a state of indigent (poverty and misery). However, Europeans did not feel any responsibility for this condition but instead considered it to be a natural matter. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Indigent

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Shakespeare changed the reason why the two lovers were unable to be together and how their death impacted each other's family.

Explanation:

"Romeo and Juliet", one of Shakespeare's most famous works, was inspired by the story of "Pyramus and Thisbe". That's because Pyramus and Thisbe were two young people in love with each other, who were forbidden by their parents to be together. Unlike "Romeo and Juliet" Pyramus and Thisbe's parents knew of the romance between the two, besides, the romance between Romeo and Juliet was prohibited because of the fight between their families, but no one knows why the parents of Pyramus and Thisbe did not allow love between the two. We can also say that the death of Romeo and Juliet has a strong impact on story, since Shakespeare shows that these deaths were able to change the behavior of the families of young people, because it made them realize that the enmity between them was disastrous. In Pyramus and Thisbe we do not know the impact of deaths on families.

With that, we can say that Shakespeare, left his history more detailed, comprehensive and identifiable.
