Read the following excerpt from Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good Man Is Hard to Find.” This short story is about a family that includes an old woman, her son, Bailey, and the son’s wife and children. What is the point of view of the excerpt? Pick out examples from the text to explain your answer.

Bailey didn't look up from his reading so she [the old woman] wheeled around then and faced the children's mother, a young woman in slacks, whose face was as broad and innocent as a cabbage and was tied around with a green head-kerchief that had two points on the top like rabbit's ears. She was sitting on the sofa, feeding the baby his apricots out of a jar. "The children have been to Florida before," the old lady said. "You all ought to take them somewhere else for a change so they would see different parts of the world and be broad. They never have been to east Tennessee."

The children's mother didn't seem to hear her but the eight-year-old boy, John Wesley, a stocky child with glasses, said, "If you don't want to go to Florida, why donncha stay at home?" He and the little girl, June Star, were reading the funny papers on the floor.

What did Mr.Milgrom give the new family who moved into the apartment with them?

I recently surveyed seventh graders at Madison Middle School to determine how they used their cell phones. My goal was to determine which daily activities were the most popular. Out of 151 seventh graders in our school, 93 of them use smart phones. 57 of those students agreed to track their cell phones usage in a journal for three days. I compared journal statistics and gathered the following data.


Data revealed that students spent 35 percent of their phone time playing games and using apps. These included games played alone and against friends. It also includes social media apps. Students spend 21 percent of their time texting and 20 percent of their time listening to music. Music included songs downloaded on their phones and music that streamed from other sources.14 percent of cell phone time was spent browsing the Internet while 9 percent of the time was spent using the phone to take photographs. Most ironically, students reported spending only 1 percent of their time using cell phones to make actual phone calls.

The text and the graphic reflect the same student survey. Which information is found in both the text and the graphic? (AKA Screen Shot Below)

1.Data representing the types of apps, games, and music that students used

2.Data representing the name of the middle school and grade level of the participants

3.An explanation of how the survey was conducted and the data was gathered

4.An explanation about the total number of students who participated in the survey

It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people—women as well as men.

Excerpt from Run with the Horseman Ferrol Sams The family was poor. It was "poor but proud." The confused boy grew up thinking one should be proud of being poor. One of the in-laws slipped around occasionally and made liquor. He had plenty of cash, did not read books, and was tolerated but not admired. A cousin had surrendered to the boll weevil, moved out of the county, and bought Coca-Cola stock. He was rich, but there was unspoken disdain for him because he had left the land. The grandparents told horror stories of having to boil dirt from under the smokehouse to retrieve salt after the Yankees had been on the land. They had learned to eat a weed called poke salad as a means of survival in those days, a custom that they passed on as a springtime ritual of communion to their descendants. Things apparently got a little better for awhile, but then the Great Depression hit the South like aftershock from the earthquake of Reconstruction, and the children knew poverty firsthand. They also, however, knew pride. No one in the county had any money to spend, and there was a security of blood that transcended the possession of material things. When one is convinced that one is to the manor born, the actual physical condition of the manor itself is of negligible importance.
Which best expresses the irony present in this passage?

Please help me simplify this!!!

After the 9/11 tragedy, the US government became extremely wary with respect to any suspected terrorist activities. Multiple measures were and continue to be taken to protect citizens from the threat of terrorism. Though the measures taken by the government were effective, they also resulted in the violation of several constitutional rights of many US citizens. Let’s look at some examples.

Increased surveillance: In order to control terrorist activities, the US government increased surveillance in various public places, such as airports, courthouses, and malls. This surveillance was effective against tracking illegal activities, but was also ignoring citizens privacy. Security checks at many public places were made mandatory as a precautionary measure. The searches of citizens’ persons and property were thorough and detailed, and practically violated the Fourth Amendment, which states that a search cannot be carried out in the absence of probable cause.

Racial profiling: Although security checks were for all citizens, certain sections were examined more closely and regarded with general suspicion in post-9/11 security measures. For instance, people of Arabic descent were more thoroughly searched, interrogated, and sometimes detained at airports, only on the basis of their ethnicity. Race and religion were the only reasons for such strict investigations. Such bias directly violated the First Amendment rights, which give citizens the freedom of speech and religion.

Coercive interrogation: Based on race, suspects were interrogated in unreasonable ways. Many citizens went to court or to the press to complain about the unnecessary force that law enforcement authorities used to try to get information from them or try to get them to admit to something with which they were not involved, even when there was no evidence against these so-called suspects. This rigorous interrogation is also a violation of citizens’ Fifth Amendment rights, which protects them from self-incrimination.

Detention and torture: While most people were detained for a few hours or days, there have been cases where people were detained for several months even if there was the slightest hint of suspicion regarding them. Such detainees were not just kept in custody, not allowed to contact their families and friends, and questioned, but also tortured in various unconstitutional ways, such as with waterboarding, which is a technique in which the detainee goes through a simulated drowning experience. These measures were a direct violation of the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and also the Eighth Amendment right, which prohibits cruelty against citizens at the hands of law enforcement authorities.

Habeas corpus refers to the legal tenet that all individuals who are imprisoned need to be brought to court so that they can be judged by the criminal justice system (a jury of their peers), and then declared as innocent or guilty based on the evidence presented. Although habeas corpus is not a part of the Bill of Rights, it is an integral part of the US criminal justice system and the basis on which the Bill of Rights operates. Similar to the civil rights guaranteed to citizens from the Bill of Rights, the tenet of habeas corpus was also violated post 9/11 because many individuals were detained unlawfully for days and even months. These individuals were not given a chance at a fair trial before being detained, which gravely violated their Sixth Amendment right
