Answer:
One of my best friends is actually my neighbor! We always go over to each other's houses. Lately, because of the virus, we haven't been able to see each other as much, though. We figured out we could call each other, instead!
I have a couple pets... I have one named Kimmie. She's small and adorable omg. Then I have one named Mr.Mew. He's fat... and eats a lot of cat food... all..the...time. I also have another cat named Peaches. We found her outside our house. So heres the backstory behind all my cats:
Kimmie: My mom was at her nail salon thing, getting her nails done. And we went outside and we found a cat. Took her home, and she was ours.
Mr.Mew: Just bought him from somebody, nothing special.
Peaches: I was sitting outside with my sister, and she walked up to me and rubbed up on me. Loved playing with pinecones. We left her outside for like a week and a half. One morning I woke up and she was sitting under a trailer, and it was pouring outside. And when I say pouring.. I mean POURING...- and so I put a blanket down and some food and water. She layed on the blanket and slept, ate some food. Shortly after, my family was outside on the front porch, and Peaches was hanging around outside, ran across the road and was 0.5 centimeters away from getting hit by a car. Our neighbors tried to take her, so we took her instead. Now she's our cat.
I also have a cat and dog at my fathers house. The cats name is Alfured, originated from the movie Batman. And the other is Gracie Lou. She's a tiny Maltipoo.
Hope you have an amazing day, and thank you for the points.
" It belongs to human nature to hate those you have injured" Does anybody know the meaning to this quote ???
Answer:
After we realize we have hurt someone, we need to either justify it to ourselves, or live with the realization that we aren't the "good guy". To justify it to ourselves, we come up with reasons to hate the person we hurt.
Answer:
I'm thinking maybe it has to do something with guilt. If we injured someone mentally or physically, most people would feel guilty about it and just decide to hate that person instead of deal with it. Or maybe you hated that person to begin with and that's why you hurt them. That's just my "interpertation."

Shakes so my single state of man that function
Is smother'd in surmise, and nothing is

How does the author reveal that Wilse feels in his heart that slavery is wrong, even though he defends it as an economic necessity?
Answer:
The author reveal that Wilse feels in his heart that slavery is wrong, even though he defends it as an economic necessity, by showing that the question makes Wilse unable to continue eating, and he admitted that he has no justification to offer to his maker for being master over another man.
Explanation:
Wilse Graham tries to dodge answering Ellen's question, and that in itself is proof that he has conflicting emotions about the topic.
When John pressed him about it his reaction of his food after Ellen asked the question, and the answer he finally gives reveals that he feels slavery is wrong even though it is important to the economy.
The author made the revelation with these lines:
'Wilse hesitated a moment, his eyes on the plate of food, which he had barely touched during the last few minutes. "I'll say this to you, Cousin John," he said finally. "I own a few slaves, and if I stood before my Maker alongside one of em, I'd hev no way to justify the fact that I was master and he was slave.'

Claim: People have many voting options if they can’t get to the polls on Election Day.
Evidence: People can cast their ballot early or by mail.
In 1–2 sentences, evaluate the relevance and sufficiency of the evidence in the argument above to determine if the claim is or is not convincing.
Answer:
all I now is that In most elections in the United States, you either need to vote in-person at an official polling place or by casting an absentee ballot. sorry if it doesn't help much.
To vote absentee, the state may ask you to provide a legitimate excuse. Excuses that are acceptable differ by state. People may find it difficult or impossible to vote on Election Day due to unforeseen circumstances.
Why do people cast their ballots early or by mail?Being unable to vote in person due to injury, disability, or illness or being on business or vacation outside of the county or city of residence on Election Day, or being a student at an out-of-state college or university are all reasons why individuals vote early or by mail.

The Flea
by John Donne (excerpt)
Mark but this flea, and mark in this,
How little that which thou deniest me is;
Me it sucked first, and now sucks thee,
And in this flea our two bloods mingled be;
Thou know'st that this cannot be said
A sin, or shame, or loss of maidenhead;
Yet this enjoys before it woo,
And pampered swells with one blood made of two;
And this, alas, is more than we would do.
