I was aboard a plane flying home to Canada. I travel a lot and I get pretty disgusted with the
conditions in air travel these days. After being served my meal, I was ready to start complaining
to the person next to me about the food, the uncomfortable seats, the delays, and the general
inconvenience
Before I opened my mouth, the woman sitting next to me spoke. She had a thick accent and in
broken English she talked about the wonderful service she received on the plane. She then
proceeded to comment on the cheerful flight attendants, and then she said, "We were fortunate
to be having such a fine meal. I am so happy to be flying to Vancouver to visit my
grandchildren." Amazed, I asked, "How can you be so positive and optimistic in a world that
seems so marginal?"
"I am from Sarajevo," she said. "I have seen my friends and many of my family killed. I joined
my family here in your wonderful country. You see, the food on the plane, the delays, they don't
matter to me. Since coming here, every day is a good day for me. I have learned that there are
really no bad days any more, only bad thoughts."
Her comment put everything into perspective.
Answer:
I think that the story is about being grateful for the opportunities and things you have because soooo many other people are not as fortunate as you.
Explanation:
The person in the story is lucky to even be able to afford a plane ticket and food. They should be grateful for that and also have a better attitude about things.

How does the description of the Montresor coat of arms and motto in paragraphs 46-49 contribute to the reader’s understanding of Montresor’s character?— The Cast of Amontillado
A. It helps the reader understand Montresor’s pride, as well as how he responds to insult.
B. It helps the reader understand that Fortunato is a snake and that Montresor must crush him.
C. It helps the reader perceive Montresor as a snake and Fortunato as a human foot, crushing the snake.
D. It helps the reader compare the respectability of Montresor with the respectability of Fortunato.
Answer:
. It helps the reader understand that Fortunato is a snake and that Montresor must crush him.
Explanation:
Montresor describes his family's coat of arms as follows: "A huge human foot d'or, in a field azure; the foot crushes a serpent rampant whose fangs are imbedded in the heal."
There is a dramatic irony here. The reader knows that Montresor plans to murder Fortunato, and thus we can infer that, from Montresor's perspective, the huge golden foot in the coat of arms symbolizes Montresor himself, and the snake with its fangs "imbedded" in the heel of the foot symbolizes Fortunato.The foot crushing the snake in the coat of arms foreshadows Montresor's murder of Fortunato.

When was the Hellen Keller born?
Answer:
June 27, 1880
Explanation:
When the ocean liner Titanic sank in April of 1912, one of the few men to survive the tragedy was J. Bruce Ismay, the chairman and managing director of the company that owned the ship. After the disaster, however, Ismay was savaged by the media and the general public for climbing into a lifeboat and saving himself when there were other women and children still on board. Ismay said he’d already helped many women and children into lifeboats and had only climbed in one himself when there were no other women or children in the area and the boat was ready to release. But it didn’t matter. His reputation was ruined. He was labeled an uncivilized coward and, a year after the disaster, he resigned his position at White Star.

Please!!! I will mark you Brainliest! Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman.
The voyage was an ordeal, but it was worth it. They were on their way to America.
The great majority of immigrants landed in New York City, at America’s busiest port. They never forgot their first glimpse of the Statue of Liberty.
Edward Corsi, who later became United States Commissioner of Immigration, was a ten-year-old Italian immigrant when he sailed into New York harbor in 1907:
My first impressions of the New World will always remain etched in my memory, particularly that hazy October morning when I first saw Ellis Island. The steamer Florida, fourteen days out of Naples, filled to capacity with 1600 natives of Italy, had weathered one of the worst storms in our captain’s memory; and glad we were, both children and grown-ups, to leave the open sea and come at last through the Narrows into the Bay.
My mother, my stepfather, my brother Giuseppe, and my two sisters, Liberta and Helvetia, all of us together, happy that we had come through the storm safely, clustered on the foredeck for fear of separation and looked with wonder on this miraculous land of our dreams.
Which lines from the excerpt are an example of paraphrasing by the author?

B. The steamer Florida, fourteen days out of Naples, filled to capacity with 1600 natives of Italy . . .

What argument does Kennedy make in his “Ich bin run Berliner” speech? A) Democracy is the only system the guarantees prosperity to all Germans. B) Democracy can exist alongside communism in Germany because it is an accepting system. C) Communism must be altered to allow more individual freedom for Germans. D) Many Germans have suffered under communism. Part B which answer choice presents the most logical reasoning in support of the argument identified in Part A? A) “All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin.” B) “ There are some who say that communism is the wave of the future. Let them come to Berlin.” C) “... one German out of four is denied the elementary right of free men, and that is to make a free choice.” D) “ There are many people in the world who really don’t understand, or say they don’t, what is the great issue between the free world and the Communist world.”
Answer:
Part A - D) Many Germans have suffered under communism.
Part B - C) “... one German out of four is denied the elementary right of free men, and that is to make a free choice.”
Explanation:
On June 1963, President Kennedy gave one of his most popular speeches to hundreds of thousands of Germans in West Berlin as he applauded West Berlin for surviving even though they were surrounded by East Germany which was a communist state.
In this speech he argued that many Germans have suffered under communism as one out of every four Germans did not have the fundamental right to make their own choices simply because they lived in the communist state of East Germany.
A person who cannot make their own choices is one without freedom to be who they are and do what they want. That person can be said to be suffering and this was what the resident alluded to.
