Answer and Explanation:
Not much had changed. Our neighborhood was still poor, just less miserable. As I approached Miss Lottie’s house, my heart began to sink. She had not lost her desire to bring some beauty into this world. There it was, a garden filled with marigolds just like the one I once killed. I say killed because I now know what I did was something like murder. Killing someone else’s hopes and dreams, because my own had been shattered.
I planned on saying all that to her. I knocked and waited. Slow, dragging footsteps reached the door; veiny, trembling hands opened it.
In a matter of seconds we sat facing each other in her dark kitchen. I tried to avert my gaze, but to no avail. She didn’t seem to bother. I began.
“I’m sorry.” There was nothing else I could have said, no better ice-breaker. As she remained silent, I carried on. “Miss Lottie, I’m sorry about that evening, about ruining – killing – your marigolds.”
She looked down.
“I have come to apologize and give you an explanation. Not a justification, not an excuse. I just… I’d like you to know what I felt that evening.”
Miss Lottie faced me, her eyes scrutinized my face.
“I had just understood, finally comprehended, how unfair life was. How sad, poor, and unbearable a life we were all doomed to live. My parents, myself, my brother, the children I’d have in the future… And I was angry. I felt impotent, and that is why I was angry. There was nothing I could do,; I was powerless in front of reality.”
Miss Lottie took a deep breath. She finally spoke, her voice hoarse and as old as time.
“Then why my flowers?” There was not accusation in her tone.
“Because they were not reality. They were… beauty. They were hope. They were everything we did not, could not have. I was angry at their existence because they represented a different life. The life none of us would ever have.”
She nodded. A faint smile crossed her lips.
“I knew that already,” she whispered as she got up from her chair. “But it feels nice to finally hear it.”
Miss Lottie was making us some tea all of a sudden. I was stunned. Speechless. She knew all along. She had known all those years. Did that mean she had hated me all the while, or…?
“I never blamed you,” she whispered once more, as if she had read my guilt in my eyes. “How could I? How could you blame yourself?” She sat down once more.
“But Miss Lottie… I shouldn’t have -”
“We all do things we shouldn’t do. We all get carried away by our anger, our fears, our disappointments. You’re only human, dear. Your life and happiness are more precious than a thousand gardens.”
We drank the tea.

Hola, debo llenar un cuadro con estas opciones en ingles de la cancion your love defends my Pronouns Verb to be Verb Present Verb past Prepositions Object pronouns Modal verb Other words pero no se como llenarlo
Answer:
Pronouns: You, your, I.
The verb to be: Is, are
Verb Present: drawing, go, defends, feel, remember, rages, know, sing,
Verb past: won
Prepositions: of, on, in, after.
Object pronouns: me
Modal verb: would, will
Other words: song (noun), refuge (noun), alone (adjective)
Explanation:
To fill this chart, you have to analyze the lyrics of the song and identify the different categories. There are different types of pronouns. You and I are subject pronouns, while your is a possessive pronoun.
The verb to be is only in the present in the song, so it is are and is.
The only verb in the past is won, which is the past of win.
The prepositions are always concerning other words like a noun, adjective, or pronoun. In this case, the prepositions are of, in, on, and after.
Object pronouns are pronouns that, in a sentence, are in the place of an object. For example, in the sentence,- Your love defends me- the subject is your love, and the direct object is me.
Modal verbs are words that express a possibility like a will or would.
The other words in the song are adjectives, nouns, and adverbs.

* Before you read:
During the time this story takes place, India was a British colony. The colonial official works for the British government in India. The government attachés work for another country’s embassy in India. Finally, a naturalist is someone who studies animals and plants.
The country is India. A colonial official and his wife are giving a large dinner party. They are seated with their guests —army officers, and government attachés with their wives, and a visiting American naturalist —in their spacious dining room. It has a bare marble floor, open rafters, and wide glass doors opening onto a veranda.
A spirited discussion springs up between a young girl who insists that women have outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era and a colonel who says that they haven’t.
“A woman’s unfailing reaction in any crisis,” the colonel says, “is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of nerve control than a woman has. And that last ounce more is what counts.”
The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is staring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. With a slight gesture, she summons the native boy standing behind her chair and whispers to him. The boy’s eyes widen, and he quickly leaves the room.
Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bowl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors.
The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing—bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room. He looks up at the rafters —the likeliest place —but they are bare. Three corners of the room are empty, and in the fourth the servants are waiting to serve the next course. There is only one place left —under the table.
His first impulse is to jump back and warn the others, but he knows the commotion would frighten the cobra into striking. He speaks quickly, the tone of his voice so arresting that it sobers everyone.
“I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count to three hundred — that’s five minutes —and not one of you is to move a muscle. Those who move will forfeit fifty rupees. Ready!”
The twenty people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying “two hundred and eighty” when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the cobra emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Screams ring out as he jumps to slam the veranda doors safely shut.
“You were right, Colonel!” the host exclaims. “A man has just shown us an example of perfect control.”
“Just a minute,” the American says, turning to his hostess. “Mrs.Wynnes, how did you know the cobra was in the room?”
A faint smile lights up the woman’s face as she replies. “Because it was crawling across my foot."

"if a singer's songs transcend musical genres, would you be able to easily classify the songs as county or rock?"
Answer:What is music? Is it a simple strum on the banjo or a raging squeal from an electric guitar? Why not both? In many cultures today, music is not limited to only one genre. Music can range from heavy metal, to classical, to country. The question isn’t what music is, but rather what does music do. Different types of music elicit different emotions, but “in order to be moved by music (physically and emotionally),” Daniel Levitin argues, “it helps a great deal to have a readily predictable beat” (Levitin, 2006, pp 166). Levitin refers to this beat at groove—“that quality that moves the song forward” (Levitin, 2006, 166). The emotions people feel from listening to music are interpreted by the entire brain. Negative emotions are interpreted in the right hemisphere of the brain and positive emotions are interpreted in the left hemisphere (Davis and Palladino, 2006, pp 262). Music has the power to change people’s feelings; in fact, music therapy has recently become a popular method of helping people deal with problems such as stress, anxiety, and pain (Music Therapy Makes a Difference, 2004). Therapists also recommend music as a means of “positive change in mood and emotional states” (Shinn, 2005). So what genres of music are best for enhancing one’s mood? Which genres create negative emotions in the listeners? In our paper we will explore the many faces of music, and determine what effect different genres of music have on emotions.
Jazz music originated at the turn of the 20th century in New Orleans. Often associated with Louis Armstrong and improvisation, jazz has not only played a major role in American history, it also can play a role in the emotions felt by one listening to it. Just as there are many genres of music, there are many types of jazz. Levitin lists a few: “Dixieland, boogie-woogie, big band, swing, bebop, ‘straight-ahead,’ acid-jazz, fusion, and metaphysical” (Levitin, 2006, pp 232) and these can stir up many different emotions, such as sadness, happiness, and excitement.

A yearbook page for Cesar Chavez states "Remember
when you fought for better working conditions for
farm workers?" What image would best illustrate this?
an image of Cesar Chavez farming with his family
an image of Cesar Chavez leading a peaceful
march
O an image of Cesar Chavez working on a farm as a
boy
an image of Cesar Chavez eating with farm
workers
Answer:
B. an image of Cesar Chavez leading a peaceful
march
Explanation:
Cesar Chavez was a civil rights activist and a leader of farm workers fighting for better working conditions. He is most famous for his work in the 60s and 70s when he organized strikes and boycotts against working conditions on farms and plantations.
He used direct, but non-violent means of fight, fighting only with peaceful protests, marches and boycotts until demands were granted.
So, the best illustration for this sentence would be an image of one such peaceful march led by Chavez.
Also, that is the only option that shows any mean of fight for better working conditions.

But when the frames of poles were made into tepees by being covered with cloth and skins, White Fang was astounded. It was the colossal bulk of them that impressed him. They arose around him, on every side, like some monstrous quick-growing form of life. They occupied nearly the whole circumference of his field of vision. He was afraid of them. They loomed ominously above him; and when the breeze stirred them into huge movements, he cowered down in fear, keeping his eyes warily upon them, and prepared to spring away if they attempted to precipitate themselves upon him.
What does White Fang’s interaction with the setting reveal?
It reveals how differently White Fang and the humans view their environment.
It reveals how excited White Fang is to be in a new environment.
It reveals how White Fang’s relationship with the humans is changing from one of fear to one of trust.
It reveals how White Fang has almost completely forgotten about his life in the wild.
Answer:
A) It reveals how differently White Fang and the humans view their environment.
Explanation:
White Fang is a novel that was written by Jack London. It tells us the story of a wolfdog that goes from a violent owner to a more of a friend than an owner Scott.
In this excerpt, we are described how White Fang reacts to tepees (Native American tents made of poles and cloths/skins). He was surprised and confused by how many of them were and how fast they appeared one after another. The wind intensified the effect of tall, scary structures on White Fang.
So, in the eyes of Indians, tepees are shelters from cold, wind, rain, wild animals, etc, but for a dog who adjusts to the human way of living, they are nothing but something to be afraid of.

Tarveling in the desert can be a challenge. The hot sun scorches. The sun beats down on you. So, how can you travel and stay safe? People use cars to get across the desert. People use camels to get across the desert. Be sure to bring plenty of water. It pays to be prepared. Edit this to help me to get this right please
Answer and Explanation:
Traveling in the desert can be challenging. The hot sun burns. The sun hits you. So, to travel safely in the desert it is worth preparing, take plenty of water and rent camels and cars whenever necessary.
Water is essential for this trip because it prevents dehydration which can be very dangerous and lead to death. For this reason, it is necessary to take plenty of water and drink it frequently, with water being the most important element to safely pass the desert.
The use of cars is also beneficial, as it provides coverage against the sun and promotes rapid travel, however, when car rental is not available it is necessary to rent camels, which will also be beneficial, as it prevents the tourist from making physical effort walking and decreases the body's water loss.
