Answer:
True friendship is worth more than gold, because the elements of character and virtue that make true friendship a blessing cannot be purchased. The best type of friend is one who is wiser and better than ourselves, inspiring us through their wisdom and virtue. They commit noble deeds, and their wisdom and goodness lifts us higher both mentally and morally.
Those that intend to be great artists practice imitating the lines of previous masters, just as those who desire to life a good life must carefully follow the examples of trusted and true friends, imitating their good qualities until they equal or exceed the other person’s virtuous deeds.
A Man is Known by the Company He Keeps
This proverb is always true. A person’s character has the ability to change others through daily interaction faster than through any other means. Purity creates purity; like creates like. This makes the choice of companions in early life more important than that of teachers or guardians. Keep good company, and you shall become good.
When Sir Joshua Reynolds was a boy, he had such great reverence for the Pope that he would press through the crowd simply to touch his coat with the end of his forefinger, as if he expected to be lifted higher by the act, and become more of a man. That same feeling should apply in the choice of companions. Select those whose nobleness inspires you to reach out in admiration.
Companionship Saves or Destroys
The late Rev. Dr. Thomson, of New York City, published the story of a youth who came under his ministry at nineteen years of age. He was the son of pious parents, neither profane, idle, nor vicious, and had established a character for industry and sobriety. At twenty-one he was employed by a rail road company, where he made friends with wicked companions. He soon fell into evil ways, and in less than a year, became too abandoned and reckless to be harbored by the church. This man died within three years.
Dr. Thomson described it, “Two weeks ago I knelt in that murderer’s cell, in company with his parents, sister, and brother, who had come for their last interview with him on earth. That narrow cell was more solemn than the grave itself. Two weeks ago tomorrow I saw the youth, who had once been of my spiritual flock, upon the scaffold. It was an awful scene. He made a brief address. Oh, if you could have heard the warning of that young man from the scaffold:
‘You know how I was brought up’, he said. ‘I had the best instructions a Christian father could give. Oh, if I had followed them, I should have been in my dear father’s home; but evil companions led me astray, and I have come to this! I hope, now, as I leave the world, my voice will warn all young men. Our desires and passions are so strong that it requires very little to lead us astray. I want to urge it upon all young men, never to take the first step in such a career as mine. When the first step is taken in the paths of sin, it is very difficult to stop.'”
The company he kept led to his fall. Associates make or break a man. A promising boy can be transformed into a felon, while a felon can be transformed into a promising man. All the lessons of home can be nullified, and the language and habits of your current company can replace years of previously learned behavior.
On a positive note, good companionship has the power to elevate and bless the spirit. It can do far more for you than wealth, home, or books. The benefits of good schools, churches and social clubs are in large part attributable to the quality and abundance of the pure spirited companions to be found there.

Which line from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass provides evidence that enslaved persons were treated violently?
Thus, after an absence of three years and one month, I was once more permitted to return to my old home at Baltimore.
The fact was, we cared but little where we went, so we went together.
Upon the whole, we got along very well, so far as the jail and its keeper were concerned.
My master sent me away, because there existed against me a very great prejudice in the community, and he feared I might be killed.
Answer:
4. My master sent me away, because there existed against me a very great prejudice in the community, and he feared I might be killed.
The line from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass provides evidence that my master sent me away, because there existed against me a very great prejudice in the community, and he feared I might be killed Option(d) is correct.
Who was Frederick Douglass?Frederick Douglass was known to be as an American speaker, essayist, and legislator. Subsequent to getting away from subjugation in Maryland, he turned into a public head of the abolitionist development in Massachusetts and New York, becoming renowned for his rhetoric and sharp abolitionist works.
Douglass was of blended race, which probably remembered Native American and African for his mom's side, as well as European. Conversely, his dad was "in all likelihood white", as per antiquarian David W. Scourge in his 2018 life story of Douglass said his mom Harriet Bailey gave him his name Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey and, after he ran away toward the North in September 1838, he took the last name Douglass, having previously dropped his two center names.
Therefore Option(d) is correct.

School uniforms are good for the development of children. First of all, everyone is dressed similarly. If nobody has "better" clothes than others, then no one can threaten others simply because of their clothes. In many schools, ganging up on others because of what they are wearing is already normal, and uniforms are a way to protect the children from such acts. School uniforms also keep everyone from having to buy expensive brands of clothes for school, which relieves parents and takes the pressure of being "cool" away from the children. School uniforms also help children from becoming overly concerned about keeping up with the latest fashions. This gives young children more time to concentrate on important topics. In general it is possible to say, that school uniforms have a good influence on most children.
What is the central idea, and key details? its the three key details boxes PLZ HELP
Answer: The centeral idea is school uniforms. Three key details are: 1. The ganging up part. 2.expencive cloths 3. and kids having to paying attention to school

Read the passage from White Fang.
There was a rush. White Fang bristled and snarled and snapped in the face of the open-mouthed oncoming wave of dogs, and went down and under them, feeling the sharp slash of teeth in his body, himself biting and tearing at the legs and bellies above him. There was a great uproar. He could hear the snarl of Kiche as she fought for him; and he could hear the cries of the man-animals, the sound of clubs striking upon bodies, and the yelps of pain from the dogs so struck.
Which line from the text supports the idea that White Fang is brave?
A. “the sound of clubs striking upon bodies, and the yelps of pain from the dogs so struck”
B. “There was a great uproar.”
C. “feeling the sharp slash of teeth in his body”
D. “snapped in the face of the open-mouthed oncoming wave of dogs”
Answer:
I think It's C.

Can someone pls help me make a sentence that explains how they are similar and/or different?
These are the articles:
It's Saturday night. You've just fallen asleep after spending the day hanging out with friends, watching movies, and enjoying being a typical teenager on the weekend. Suddenly, the beeper on your nightstand goes off. You jump up and get ready because someone needs your help. For a group of teenagers in Alaska, known as the Dragon Slayers, this is nothing unusual. They are from the town of Aniak, located about three hundred fifty miles west of Anchorage. Forget driving there, you can only reach the town by plane! There are around six hundred residents and one medical clinic, but the doctor only visits once a month. This means that if you are visited by a medical or fire "dragon," getting treatment or being rescued might be difficult. In fact, until the Slayers were formed, there was no emergency service in the town after 4 p.m. To address the problem, the fire chief decided to train qualified teenagers as first responders. He believed that because most of them did not have jobs, they had the time required to take on the responsibility.
Today, the Dragon Slayers respond to about 450 calls per year. They are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The team is made up of 14- to 18-year-old girls and boys. No matter what the emergency, it is important that Dragon Slayers remain calm and have the medical skills to help those who need them. They have over two hundred hours of medical and fire-safety training. All are certified emergency trauma technicians. They must also get passing grades in school and be drug and alcohol free. They are expected to treat everything from minor injuries requiring only first aid, to more serious issues such as heart attacks. They may be called to scenes ranging from small plane crashes to automobile accidents.
Their efforts have saved both lives and property. Just ask a former principal at their high school. At first, he didn't like the idea of Slayers being called out of class to respond to emergencies. However, he changed his mind after suffering a diabetic emergency at school and being cared for by the quick-thinking Slayers. Additionally, if it weren't for the actions of Amanda Hoeldt and several of her Dragon Slayer friends, the community hall might have burned to the ground when it caught fire in 2009. Although not allowed to enter the building, she and the other Slayers set up hoses that eventually put out the blaze, saving the structure. After observing the girls respond to an emergency call, state trooper Sgt. Mike Duxbury commented, "They helped each other out. Gave each other encouragement. They worked as a team."
Amanda says that the Dragon Slayers also benefit from their participation in the program. She feels that she is prepared to handle nearly any situation that comes her way. Through teaching others in her community life-saving skills, she has become more confident in her leadership abilities. Agnes Nicoli, another Slayer, says of her participation in the program, "Being able to save lives and save property is a wonderful feeling." Most Slayers go to college, and many of them choose careers in the medical field. And, just in case you're wondering what happens when a Slayer graduates, he or she is replaced by a "Lizard Killer." A Lizard Killer is a younger member of the program who is still in training. Upon completion of that training, he or she earns the right to be promoted to Dragon Slayer.

02.02 The Great North American Circus
There was great excitement in Smyrna, especially among the boys. Barlow's Great American Circus in its triumphal progress from state to state was close at hand, and immense yellow posters announcing its arrival were liberally displayed on fences and barns, while smaller bills were put up in the post office, the hotel, and the principal stores, and distributed from house to house.
It was the largest circus that had ever visited Smyrna. At least a dozen elephants marched with ponderous steps in its preliminary procession, while clowns, acrobats, giants, dwarfs, fat women, cannibals, and hairy savages from Tibet and Madagascar were among the strange wonders that were to be seen at each performance for the small sum of fifty cents, children half price.
For weeks the young people had been looking forward to the advent of this marvelous world of curiosities, and the country papers from farther east had given glowing accounts of the great show, which was pronounced greater and more gorgeous than in any previous year. But it may be as well to reproduce, in part, the description given in the posters:
BARLOW'S GREAT NORTH AMERICAN CIRCUS.
Now in its triumphal march across the continent, will
give two grand performances,
AT SMYRNA
on the afternoon and evening of May 18th.
Never in all its history has this
unparalleled show embraced a greater variety of attractions,
or included a larger number of world-famous
acrobats, clowns, bare back riders, rope walkers, trapeze
artists, and star performers,
in addition to a colossal menagerie, comprising
elephants, tigers, lions, leopards,
and other wild animals in great variety.
All this and far more, including a hundred
DARING ACTS,
can be seen for the trifling sum of fifty cents;
children half price.
COME ONE! COME ALL!
