Read this paragraph from I Never Had It Made.
Branch Rickey lost that fight, but when he became the boss of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1943, he felt the time for equality in baseball had come. He knew that achieving it would be terribly difficult. There would be deep resentment, determined opposition, and perhaps even racial violence. He was convinced he was morally right, and he shrewdly sensed that making the game a truly national one would have healthy financial results. He took his case before the startled directors of the club, and using persuasive eloquence, he won the first battle in what would be a long and bitter campaign. He was voted permission to make the Brooklyn club the pioneer in bringing blacks into baseball.
What is the author’s purpose for including this paragraph?
A. to inform readers about Branch Rickey’s professional career
B. to inform readers about Branch Rickey’s determination
C. to persuade readers to admit black athletes into professional baseball
D. to entertain readers with a story about Branch Rickey’s adventures

Contribute to the development of the ideas in the text the Tipping Point
The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell is a book about how small actions at the right time, in the right place, and with the right people can create a "tipping point" for anything from a product to an idea to a trend. Gladwell is not a sociologist, but he relies on sociological studies, and those from other disciplines within the social sciences to write articles and books that both the general public and social scientists find fascinating and worthwhile. According to Gladwell, the "tipping point" is "that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire."
According to Gladwell, there are three variables that determine whether and when the tipping point for a product, idea, or phenomenon will be achieved: The Law of the Few, the Stickiness Factor, and the Power of Context.

PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN SWORD
please illustrate!!!!
Answer:
The pen has the ability to make peace or war. The sword can only create war.
Explanation:
Contracts determined peace agreements, wars, treaties. The sword could not do that, only fight battles.

according to jfk, what does the space race represent to the public.
Answer:
According to JFK, the space race represented CONFIDENCE to the public.
Explanation:
The Space Race is a term that came about or was developed to the actions of the Soviet Union.
In the year 1957, the Soviet Union was the first to launch a satellite called Sputnik to out of space. For every country, launching a satellite into out of space was the next step into technological advancement.
This action caught the United States unawares and by surprise. This spurred the United States into action and we can say the Space Race began.
The United States sent their first satellite called the Explorer into the Earth's surface and this led to the creation of NASA( National Aeronautics and Space Administration).
In the year 1961, President John .F. Kennedy gave a speech referred to as the "Moon Speech". He spoke about his goal to have a American land on the moon and also for the American to run to earth safely. This was a program that would run for over 5 years.
According the President John . F. Kennedy, the space race meant a lot to the American public because it inspired confidence in the American public and showed that they could overtake and exceed the Soviet Union in space travels.
