I have found this question online. It refers to the short story "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut.
Answer and Explanation:
Yes, I believe people's expectations and treatment of Harrison and his eventual actions could be considered a self-fulfilling prophecy.
A self-fulfilling prophecy is a result of the Pygmalion effect theory, which claims we are influenced by other people's expectations of us. When we begin to believe what others think of us to be the truth, we change our behavior in accordance to it. We end up fulfilling the prophecies others have made about us, that is, we confirm their expectations.
That is what Harrison, the main character, does. In the story, the American government has decided to promote equality in a most absurd manner. People who are considered beautiful or intelligent, for instance, are forced to wear handicaps so that others will not feel inferior. Harrison is only 14 years old, and he is forced to wear loads of handicaps, not only to make him less handsome and strong, but also to make him less intelligent. For that reason, Harrison begins to see himself as truly superior to others. What the government does to him leads him to believe he is special, and that the world deserves to see that.
Harrison escapes from jail, appears before cameras, removes his own handicaps, and dances with a ballerina. Both are shot dead by a government official. If Harrison were truly superior in intelligence, he would most likely not have done that, since he knew he would be breaking the law and the outcome was quite obvious. It was because he was treated as intelligent, not because he was truly intelligent, that Harrison did what he did and was killed for it.

What color shirt was Ralph wearing in the beginning of the chapter?
Grey
O black
O dark blue
ripped white one
Answer:
Grey
Explanation:
You forgot to say that this question is about chapter 5 of "The lord of the Flies".
In chapter 5, Ralph realizes that he is in a very complicated situation. He is wearing a gray shirt and sees that everything around him is falling apart. There is no more civility among the boys, it is no longer possible for a leadership to be established, the boys' rationality is unstable, they are leaving human behavior and a disorder has settled between them.
"Lord of the flies" is a book written by William Golding. This book features a group of English boys who, after the plane crashed, found themselves alone on a desert island. The boys are completely without adult supervision and decide to establish rules that will help them survive until they are rescued. However, the wild ambience completely corrupts the rules and behavior of the boys.

After training one of his dogs to salivate in response to a tone, Pavlov continued to present the tone periodically without the food. What did the dog do?
Answer:
- gradually stopped responding to the tone.
Explanation:
According to Pavlov's theory of 'Classical Conditioning,' the dog's conditioned response of salivating on hearing the tone of a metronome will decrease and eventually disappear if he continues to offer the tone without giving food. This shows that the conditioned response will reappear for a short-period only if the conditioned stimulus returns. He also displayed that after a specific rest period, the extinct conditioned response reappears which he called 'spontaneous recovery of conditioned response.'

As the principal speaker in an inter school debate.Write your argument for the motion "African countries need military rule and not civilian rule"
Answer and Explanation:
African countries have been extremely exploited and devalued by European nations and other nations considered to be world potentials. This exploitation has enabled African nations to become small, poor and often unskilled, which increases not only their problems, but also their devaluation around the world. Civilian governments have not been effective in solving these problems, which shows us that these governments are a flawed investment with no positive results, which need to be quickly changed by disciplined, rigid and imposing military governments, capable of bringing about real national changes.

Tell me hat you think of these lyrics!!
I'm out of my mind, I'm out of my head
no matter what I do, it goes back to what I said
I can't make you happy, no longer make you smile
My heart it's gone, gone for a while
I can't go back to the past
you keep holding on
I can't escape
I know my life's a wreck
So does that make me insane?!
I just wanna know what it feels like! (I'm out of my mind)
With me in your arms!! (I'm out of my head)
I wanna feel loved! (I know my life's a wreck)
SO DOES THAT MAKE ME INSANE!?
My life's crazy, but isn't everyone's?
You made me happy, so why did we fall?
I said that I'm sorry
Though I'm not sure what I did
Love's like the ocean
we're like the waves
no matter what we do, we'll never be the same
I can't go back to the past
you keep holding on
I can't escape
I know my life's a wreck
I just wanna know what it feels like! (I'm out of my mind)
With me in your arms!! (I'm out of my head)
I wanna feel loved! (I know my life's a wreck)
SO DOES THAT MAKE ME INSANE!?
So does that make me insane...?
'Cause I loved you...
I thought you loved me too...
I guess I was wrong...

AYUDAAAAA DIRECTIONS: Use parentheses to set off all prepositional phrases. Do not look for predicate adjectives within prepositional phrases. Circle the linking verb. Underline the predicate adjective. Some may have compound subjects, verbs, or predicate adjectives. Some may not have a predicate adjective. 1. Great men are not always wise. 2. A good name is priceless. 3. The day is cold and dark. 4. We should be reasonable. 5. No one is good at this. 6. The sword is quick and powerful. 7. The rich man is wealthy beyond imagination. 8. The sky grew dark as the storm approached. 9. The hamburger tasted greasy. 10. She remained haughty throughout the entire discussion.
Answer:
Linking verbs are italicized, prepositional phrases are in bracket, while predicate adjectives are underlined.
1. Great men are not (always wise).
2. A good name is priceless.
3. The day is cold and dark.
4. We should be reasonable.
5. No one is good (at this).
6. The sword is quick and powerful.
7. The rich man is wealthy (beyond imagination).
8. The sky grew dark (as the storm approached).
9. The hamburger tasted greasy.
10. She remained haughty (throughout the entire discussion).

Please can you write a summary of Macbeth act 1-3 and not copied from the internet :) thx
(Act 1) In the heath near the war zone, Macbeth and Banquo run over the three witches. The witches reveal to Macbeth that he will become Thane of Cawdor and, eventually, King. Macbeth keeps his secrets from them. Regardless, the Thane of Ross appears at this point and reveals to Macbeth that he is the Thane of Cawdor.
(Act 2) starts with Banquo and his young son, Fleance, making their way to bed in Macbeth's castle. Macbeth emerges from the mist and addresses Banquo. Macbeth hears the ringing of a ringer at the end of the scene, which is Lady Macbeth's signal that they should begin their murder plot.
(Act 3) The executioners butcher Banquo, who kicks the bucket, pleading with his child to flee and fight back in revenge for his death. One of the executioners extinguishes the torch, and Fleance runs away in the dim light. The executioners depart with Banquo's body, hoping to locate Macbeth and notify him of what has occurred.
