Seems like a long time ago I was born and grew up in a little ole town ain't nobody ever hardly heard of. For another long time I was afraid it was going to be the whole world for me, and I thought I'd live without anything nice or good happening to me in my whole life! I found out it was silly to think like that, but it wasn't crazy, cause a whole lot of people live poor, in one spot, all the days of their life. Already, you know we was poor. The house we lived in seemed held together by the newspapers glued on the walls and taped over cracked windows. . . . I had a older sister and brother. My sister took over when Daddy went to prison…She worked me like a dog while she laid up and read magazines. . . . Course, she was only sixteen, but you don't have to always get old to be kind and good to people. My brother just stayed gone! I had a little sister who was kind of sickly, so I did all her work for her, and any food I got hold to, I shared with her.

Read the excerpt from "Dream Season.”

What kind of characterization is contained in the underlined sentence?
a)direct, because it tells the reader a personality trait of the character
b)direct, because it tells the reader a physical trait of the character
c)indirect, because it shows something the character says
d)indirect, because it shows something the character thinks
Answer:
I believe the answer is C
Explanation:
Indirect characterization is is the process of describing a character through that character's thoughts, actions, speech, and dialogue. Therefore the answer should be C.
Answer and Explanation:
I'm not sure what part is underlined, so I will say which parts would be direct or indirect.
The first line would be direct, because we hear from Dad that Mr. Robinson is a brave man, which is describing a personality trait.
The second line, "There are a lot of people out there who don't want him to play just because of the color of his skin". Here, it would be indirect, because it is showing a type of thinking/trait that people of the opposite skin color to Mr. Robinson have, which is having a bad mindset and superiority.
The third line would also be indirect. We are being indirectly told that Marcus doesn't like the idea that people, including Mr. Robinson, are not wanted to play because of their skin, showing that he possibly thinks that is unfair and unjust.

Explanation:
Consider this student response.
A 3-column table with 1 row. Column 1 is labeled Text with entry "On December 5, 1955, concerned people in Montgomery, Alabama, refused to ride city buses. They were tired of unfair treatment of African Americans. They demanded equal treatment. This bus boycott was successful. The Supreme Court got involved in 1956. The Supreme Court said segregation laws are not allowed." Column 2 is labeled Details with entry There was a bus boycott in December of 1955. The boycott took place in Montgomery, Alabama. Citizens demanded equal treatment for African Americans. The boycott was successful. The Supreme Court was involved. Segregation was banned in 1956. Column 3 is labeled Paraphrase with entry People held a bus boycott in December of 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama. They demanded equal rights."
Which sentence best completes the paraphrase of the passage?
a)Thanks to the Supreme Court, the buses started rolling again in 1956 to end the bus boycott.
b)When the bus boycott ended, the Supreme Court became involved to decide if segregation laws were legal.
c)In 1956, the Supreme Court decided that segregation laws were illegal based on the Constitution.
d)The boycott was successful because the Supreme Court banned all segregation laws in 1956.
Answer:
d)The boycott was successful because the Supreme Court banned all segregation laws in 1956.
Explanation:
The above option is the sentence that best completes the paraphrase of the passage.
From the passage, we discover that the bus boycott started in 1955. So, it means that the bus boycott continued till Supreme Court came in 1956. The coming of the Supreme Court brought a lasting solution.
Therefore, the boycott was successful because the Supreme Court banned all segregation laws in 1956.

Imagine you are a genetic scientist who has been asked to advise the president on whether or not this new procedure should be made legal. What do you say?
Hello. You did not provide the article to which this question is related. However, when researching your question on the internet, I was able to find a question exactly the same as yours that shows that the question refers to the article "Proposed Treatment to Fix Genetic Diseases Raises Ethical Issues" that shows the attempt of scientists to legally approve the practices to manipulate the DNA present in the maternal egg, to remove possible DNA errors that can cause genetic diseases in babies.
If I were one of the scientists on the team who wants to legalize this practice, I would try to argue against society's concerns about the problems that could arise from this manipulation.
A major concern that people have is that this practice generates "manufactured" babies. I would fight this fear, showing that we would only deal with DNAs that have flaws that can trigger diseases, that is, the modified DNA, would maintain all the characteristics that the baby would normally have, but would only rid him of genetic diseases, which would be very advantageous for the child and the family. This would not create a "manufactured" baby, nor would it cause any adverse reaction to the child or the mother.
In addition, this practice would be performed on very few women, as 1 in 200 women have DNA defects. This shows that this practice would only be used in cases of need and these cases would be very few.

Answer:
Based on part two of "Trifles", the symbolism behind the uneven stitching in Mrs. Wright's otherwise perfect quilt indicates that she:
4. was agitated or distracted by something during her quilting.
Explanation:
"Trifles" is a short play by Susan Glaspell. Filled with symbolism, the story concerns the death of Mr. Wright and the accusation of his wife. The Sheriff, a Count Attorney, and Mr. Hale go around the house looking for evidence that may reveal a motive - the reason why Mrs. Wright would kill her husband. While they do it, Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters (the Sheriff's wife) stay in the kitchen. Although constantly criticized by the men for paying attention to trifles - little things -, it is the women who find the evidence which reveals the motive. However, they choose to not tell the men.
Among the several things the two women find, and that function as symbols in the story, there is a quilt. Mrs. Wright was good at making quilts, and this one is perfectly made with the exception of one part. This part's stitching is uneven, so different from the rest that Mrs. Hale quickly grasps its meaning. She wonders what Mrs. Wright was nervous about to have sewed like that. The quilt indicates Mrs. Wright was agitated, unfocused.
Answer:
was agitated or distracted by something during her quilting.

why do my parents do it
Answer:
your parents can to do it on so many reasons and purposes. Some of these being that they dont want their children to end up or go through what they went through as they were growing up. Most parents want a future for their kids and want them to grow up being someone and not just a slack off who never even tried to do anything for their life. They want to be proud and not let down and they want to see how far their children can actually go. To show other people or the people who envy them that they raised a great son or daughter and that they will grow up to be someone with a nice job, house, car, etc. Parents do the things they do for our own good, and we should accept it as it is because we are going to need it when they are not here anymore to tell us what we need to do. So we need to ask them questions about things we need to know in life before they get to close to the end.

Click here to refer to the literature as needed.
Answer
"Black English is the creation of the black diaspora"
As indicated in the article referenced in the question, language evolves because people have a deep collective need to communicate the realities of their conditions in a way that makes meaning to them as well as to others. To be forced into a language system that disallows them from doing that, or dampens their ability for self-expression translates to the submergence of a people. Aristotle put it succinctly. He states that "freedom is obedience to self-formulated rules"
So if people are truly free, then they reserve every right to express themselves how they chose.
Another section of the article which speaks strongly to the subject matter states that the rules of the language are not self-determined by the nature of the language itself, but by the very things, experiences, emotions, desires etc that the language must communicate.
