Please read the short poem below:

What Is An Intersection?
By Mahogany L. Browne and Olivia Gatwood

An intersection is a place
where things come together--
like four cars waiting
to go different directions
at a stoplight.
People intersect too
not just while moving down the street
but in who we are--
inside our bodies is a
stoplight where our identities come together
to make us a house of flamethrowers
to make us a river of living things.
We all have multiple identities--
you might be in a room full of girls,
but no two are exactly alike--
Classmate with nose ring and painted headband
Soccer player with flowing scarf and full smile
Student in library with brown skin and headphones
Skateboarder with hat to the back and book in hand
Swimmer with painted nails and crew cut
Dancer who says, “Only call me by my name.”
That’s intersectionality.
We all have different experiences in the world.
And we all have experiences we share.
Intersectionality means
paths crossing one another with respect.
Intersectionality means
moving with intentionality and
acknowledgement of surroundings.
Intersectionality means
we are all happening, we are all supporting
each other.
We are an ecosystem, living and growing,
depending on each other for survival,
evolving and becoming whole.


After read, please help with the question:
In the last two lines of stanza two, the speaker says that our identities come together to “make us a house of flamethrowers/to make us a river of living things.”
What do you think it means to be a “house of flamethrowers” ?
My notes: convey patience and skill required to be a flamethrower
Please analyze 4 sentencess



What do you think the author means by a “river of living things”? T
My notes: significance of water in generality, rivers flow and move freely, etc
Please 4 sentences min



Thank you so much!!

Answer:

When the author says that our identities come together to “make us a house of flamethrowers/.”, I think he meant that humans are different and because of that difference there will always be conflict.

I think it also has something to do with instability because a flamethrower is erratic and not stable.

When the author said, "a river of living things", I think he was referring to how different people are and how our identities intersect.

A river can be a home to many different sea animals and no two sea animals are the same.

I think it can also mean that despite the differences, we still find a way to co-exist and move together as a society just like the river.

Alejandro reached the platform just as the train's doors closed. He would have made it in time had it not been for his crutches. Had it not been for his stupid injury, he would have been on that train. Instead he was stuck on the platform, waiting all by himself. Since the injury, not a day had passed that he hadn't been reminded of his poor luck. He was a perfectly healthy 22 year old, supposedly in the prime of his life. And yet, while playing soccer with his friends, he'd fallen and torn his ACL, a ligament in his knee. As a result, he'd been sentenced to three months of physical therapy and a long, slow recovery. Alejandro felt as if his body had betrayed him. Injuries like this were supposed to happen to old out-of-shape guys—but not to him. And the physical therapy was a nightmare. His therapist, Dr. Mike, expected him to do a full hour of stretches every day. A full hour! Alejandro barely had the patience for 15 minutes of stretching. "You're not used to being injured, are you?" Dr. Mike had asked him during their first meeting. "Of course not," Alejandro had responded. "I'm in great shape." "Even world-class athletes get injured," Dr. Mike said. "The first step on the road to recovery is to the take the time to recover. We can't push our bodies too far. From there, we should learn acceptance. Our bodies don't last forever. The sooner you accept this fact, the sooner you will heal. Plus, you'll be better equipped to deal with injuries in the future." Now, as Alejandro waited for the next train, he had time to contemplate Dr. Mike's advice. People had always told Alejandro to appreciate his youth while he had it. But Dr. Mike was saying something else. He was telling Alejandro to prepare for a day when his body would fail. Dr. Mike was telling Alejandro to accept his body's shortcomings, even though he was still young. As these thoughts occurred to Alejandro, an old man appeared on the train platform. He made his way slowly toward Alejandro, using a cane to support his weight. His body was hunched, and a hump was visible in his back. And though his cautious, deliberate progress across the platform was painful to watch, Alejandro noticed that the old man was smiling. The old man reached Alejandro just as the next train arrived. Alejandro nodded at him respectfully. Then the two of them boarded the same car: Alejandro with his crutches, and the old man with his cane.

Read the passage and answer the question that follows.

from Ragged (word brainly doesnt like) By Horatio Alger

Getting up too was an equally short process. He jumped out of the box, shook himself, picked out one or two straws that had found their way into rents in his clothes, and, drawing a well-worn cap over his uncombed locks, he was all ready for the business of the day.

(word brainly doesnt like)'s appearance, as he stood beside the box, was rather peculiar. His pants were torn in several places, and had apparently belonged in the first instance to a boy two sizes larger than himself. He wore a vest, all the buttons of which were gone except two, out of which peeped a shirt which looked as if it had been worn a month. To complete his costume he wore a coat too long for him, dating back, if one might judge from its general appearance, to a remote antiquity.

Washing the face and hands is usually considered proper in commencing the day, but (word brainly doesnt like) was above such refinement. He had no particular dislike to dirt, and did not think it necessary to remove several dark streaks on his face and hands. But in spite of his dirt and rags there was something about (word brainly doesnt like) that was attractive. It was easy to see that if he had been clean and well dressed he would have been decidedly good-looking. Some of his companions were sly, and their faces inspired distrust; but (word brainly doesnt like) had a frank, straight-forward manner that made him a favorite.

Based on the information provided in this sentence, what is the best definition of "remote antiquity?"

To complete his costume he wore a coat too long for him, dating back, if one might judge from its general appearance, to a remote antiquity.

The distant past
The far-flung provinces
An abandoned mansion
An exotic, far-away place

Read the paragraph from Nick’s personal narrative.

Standing alone in my family’s barn, I thought about how much hard work and time my parents had invested—how much hard work and time we had all invested—in maintaining a fully operational farm. I did not remember a time when my clothes had not reeked of manure or my hair had not held fast to brittle pieces of straw. What would happen if my parents had to sell the farm so we could move closer to my grandparents? Just as I was attempting to imagine a life in the city, a sudden commotion erupted and interrupted my thoughts. With animals squawking and dust flying, I scrambled to pinpoint the source of this unexpected intrusion. In seconds that felt more like minutes, I was successful . . . and I could scarcely believe what my eyes were seeing.

Nick uses chronological order to relate his narrative. What effect does this have on his arrangement of the plot?

a) It allows Nick to include extra details as he develops the events that lead to the most exciting parts of his story.
b) It allows Nick to surprise the reader by disrupting the calm setting with unexpected excitement.
c) It allows Nick to omit the conclusion because he states his feelings at the beginning of the narrative.
d) It allows Nick to choose which events he will include and which events he would like to eliminate.

Select the paragraph that effectively combines relevant details; precise, domain-specific vocabulary; clear transitions; and formal style.

A.
Killer whales are listed as endangered species in some regions but not on a global level. This is because they travel in such tight-knit families, which means their ability to thrive and survive is directly related to where they live.
B.
Killer whales travel in pods that are matriarchal in nature and even more close-knit than human families. Female killer whales begin producing offspring at the age of fifteen but mate outside of their own families to avoid domestic squabbles.
C.
Killer whales are extremely social mammals that use sophisticated verbal hunting techniques. Using clicks, whistles, and pulse calls, killer whales hunt approximately thirty species of fish and consume, on average, five hundred pounds of food each day.
D.
The killer whale is one of thirty-five dolphin species. Killer whales are like other whales, but they are actually even more like dolphins. The way they communicate with one another is a lot like dolphins, too. Both animals use sound and body language to communicate.
