"Virtual schools were growing quite quickly," said Christina Martin, a policy analyst at the Cascade Policy Institute, a free-market think tank based in Portland, Ore. . . . The big issue, she said, was fairness. Some students have access to virtual schools because they have a learning coach to stay home with them, while others don’t. Also, Internet connections can be costly, and not every family has one. And families have to pay for their own printing. . . . "An adult must stay with a child during the day and make sure they’re doing their work. " This information would best support a claim about students’ need for personal coaches. Internet supervision.

from today's world, history, literature, tv, and film? Discuss.

Answers

Answer:

1) Romeo and Juliet

2) Catholicism and Protestantism

3) France and Britain

Explanation:

1) Romeo and Juliet shows the story of two lovers caught in the crossfire of a family feud. Their two families, for one reason or another have been rivals for generations at the time of the tragety.

2) The Roman Orthodox church has been at odds with all other sects of Christianity since the third century CE to the modern day. Enemies to the orthodoxy have been deemed heretics and persecuted relentlessly for centuries, like the Lutherans, Puritans, and Gnostics, many of which fled to the Americas to escape the persecution. Tensions still exist to this day, President Biden's following of the Catholic faith has been sited in many campaign ads and speeches against him.

3) When the duke of Normandy, William the ####### (fatherless son), conquered Britain and became William the Conqueror, he set fourth the rivalry between the Frankish and British peoples that would only, reluctantly, end in the late 1800s. Normandy left the kingdom and joined France, which soured relations. Over the years, many wars broke out between the two, one even lasting well over a century. The unification of Germany and the loss of the Franco-Prussian war, France and Britain formed an uneasy pact, eventually Russia joined and the secret aliance was called the Triple Entente. the alliance was only held together by necessity and threads but the First and Second World Wars made France, Britain, and the United States of America some of the closest allies to date.

Read the following excerpt from “The Gift of the Magi” and answer the question.

For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone.

But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim! And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!" Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit."Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it."

Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled."Della," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on."

The magi, as you know, were wise men--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi.

What inference can the reader make about Jim’s feelings based on his actions at the end of the passage?

Jim feels contentment with knowing that, although their gifts are useless, their love for each other is strong.
Jim feels helpless to provide a better life for Della.
Jim feels indifference about the outcome since his gift was not costly.
Jim feels frustration because of the ruined gift.

agree.

Explanation:

usually it's best to ask someone what their beliefs are. while a lot of people dont get offended, some do. in situations where you're in public being nice to someone, and you say merry Christmas, theres usually no time to start a conversation and ask what their beliefs are but in situations where you know the person, or are trying to get to know them, or even having a conversation with them, its best to ask before you say the phrase to someone that observes another holiday. a lot of people try to push their beliefs on others and others are very passionate about what they believe and/or celebrate so its easy to see "merry christmas" the wrong way when you don't celebrate it.

Give three clues that indicate that the poet is taking a humorous tone in this poem.

“Macavity the Mystery Cat” – by T.S. Eliot

Macavity's a Mystery Cat: he's called the Hidden Paw -
For he's the master criminal who can defy the Law.
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair:
For when they reach the scene of crime - Macavity's not there!

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity.
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare,
And when you reach the scene of crime - Macavity's not there!
You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air -
But I tell you once and once again, Macavity's not there!

Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin;
You would know him if you saw him, for his eyes are sunken in.
His brow is deeply lined with thought, his head is highly domed;
His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed.
He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake;
And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake.

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
For he's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity.
You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square -
But when a crime's discovered, then Macavity's not there!

He's outwardly respectable. (They say he cheats at cards.)
And his footprints are not found in any file of Scotland Yard's.
And when the larder's looted, or the jewel-case is rifled,
Or when the milk is missing, or another Peke's been stifled,
Or the greenhouse glass is broken, and the trellis past repair -
Ay, there's the wonder of the thing! Macavity's not there!

And when the Foreign Office find a Treaty's gone astray,
Or the Admiralty lose some plans and drawings by the way,
There may be a scrap of paper in the hall or on the stair -
But it's useless to investigate - Macavity's not there!
And when the loss has been disclosed, the Secret Service say:
`It must have been Macavity!' - but he's a mile away.
You'll be sure to find him resting, or a-licking of his thumbs,
Or engaged in doing complicated long-division sums.

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
There never was a Cat of such deceitfulness and suavity.
He always has an alibi, and one or two to spare:
At whatever time the deed took place - MACAVITY WASN'T THERE!
And they say that all the Cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
(I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone)
Are nothing more than agents for the Cat who all the time
Just controls their operations: the Napoleon of Crime!

Answers

We can see the humorous tone when the speaker claims that the cat is a master of crime, a cat that breaks human rules, and a monster of depravity.

This can be seen in the following lines:

For he's the criminal master who can defy the Law.He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity.For he's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity.

These lines show the humorous tone in the poem, as it exaggeratedly presents the cat as if this animal were a cruel and cunning creature, but we know that animals are not like that.

By portraying the animal in this way, the poet shows humor, as he places the animal above humans and with non-standard features.

It is important to remember that the tone of a poem is the feeling the poet wants to convey through the reading.

I remember when the world broke in,
To rip apart my soul,
For years after that one event,
I thought myself not whole,
My hours were spent with trying,
To fix it up with tape and glue,
Until one day I discovered,
Everyone else was broken too,
Here we were with pieces,
Of ourselves in both our hands,
So fragile and so open,
That I began to understand,
Maybe I'd been greedy,
To want my soul all to myself,
When it could be a lot more helpful,
In the palms of someone else,
Now every time I go somewhere,
I leave part of me behind,
And collect all of the pieces,
Of others' souls that I can find,
So when I'm meeting someone new, It's not just me they get,
But also tiny fragments,
Of all the others that I've met,
And my life's become much bigger,
Now that it's home to things so small, And if this is what "broken" means,

I do not mind at all.​

He felt that his parents' lifestyle was unhappy and disheartening as they traded an adventurous life for a quiet and stable life.

We can arrive at this answer because:

Chris was encouraging Franz to live a life of adventure and surprise.He says that this kind of life is a satisfying life and that it can provide people with real happiness, excitement, and action.However, many people, like his parents, do not dare to go in search of this life and abandon the adventures for a life of stability and tranquility.However, these people feel unhappy and live limited and discouraging lives.
