Why do you think it was important for African Americans to organize a peaceful protest?

Answers

“Through nonviolent protest, the civil right movement of the 1950’s and 60’s broke the pattern public facilities’ being segregated by “race” in the south and achieved the most important breakthrough in equal-right legislation for African Americans since the reconstruction period.” African Americans were ones who got discriminated against for a long, long time. They earned they’re right and still to this day people care about race. Bloody Monday was a very violent event and something that should not happen again today. Martin Luther king jr. really believe in nonviolence and inspired people to do the same. They have their rights and the right to use them.

Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
by Robert Louis Stevenson
Part 1

Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary, and yet somehow lovable. At friendly meetings, and when the wine was to his taste, something eminently human beaconed from his eye; something indeed which never found its way into his talk, but which spoke not only in these silent symbols of the after-dinner face, but more often and loudly in the acts of his life. He was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone, to mortify a taste for vintages; and though he enjoyed the theatre, had not crossed the doors of one for twenty years. But he had an approved tolerance for others; sometimes wondering, almost with envy, at the high pressure of spirits involved in their misdeeds; and in any extremity inclined to help rather than to reprove.
"I incline to, Cain's heresy*," he used to say. "I let my brother go to the devil in his quaintly 'own way.'" In this character, it was frequently his fortune to be the last reputable acquaintance and the last good influence in the lives of down-going men. And to such as these, so long as they came about his chambers, he never marked a shade of change in his demeanour.
No doubt the feat was easy to Mr. Utterson; for he was undemonstrative at the best, and even his friendship seemed to be founded in a similar catholicity of good-nature. It is the mark of a modest man to accept his friendly circle ready-made from the hands of opportunity; and that was the lawyer's way. His friends were those of his own blood or those whom he had known the longest; his affections, like ivy, were the growth of time, they implied no aptness in the object. Hence, no doubt, the bond that united him to Mr. Richard Enfield, his distant kinsman, the well-known man about town. It was a nut to crack for many, what these two could see in each other, or what subject they could find in common. It was reported by those who encountered them in their Sunday walks, that they said nothing, looked singularly dull, and would hail with obvious relief the appearance of a friend. For all that, the two men put the greatest store by these excursions, counted them the chief jewel of each week, and not only set aside occasions of pleasure, but even resisted the calls of business, that they might enjoy them uninterrupted.
*The biblical story of Cain and Abel is a story about two brothers who gave offerings to God. Abel’s offering was accepted by God, but Cain’s was not. Jealous, Cain killed his brother. When God asked Cain where Abel was, Cain said, "Am I my brother’s keeper?" By saying this, Cain implied that what his brother did was his own business. (Genesis 4:1-16)

Because of all the contradictions in this passage, what are we likely to learn about Mr. Utterson in later chapters?
That he grew up in poverty
That he has a vast, unknown fortune
That he has another side to his personality
That he has an interest in urban development

The theme which is portrayed in the above excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s “The Death of Ivan Ilyich” is:

keeping up appearances in society.

The correct option is C.

Tolstoy gives his remark on the materialistic nature of people in the society. Throughout the novel, the characters are seen jumbled up in the web of materialism as it provides status and pleasure to them. At the end of the novella “The Death of Ivan IIyich,” written by Leo Tolstoy speaks about the materialist nature of the physical world. At the time of his death, Ivan says “ Death is finished, he said to himself. It is no more!” This line gives an insight into his perspective about life and death. It shows that Ivan continues to fight for his life and gives the plot an open ending.  For Ivan death has caused an end of his life in this physical world but this has rewarded him a path towards spiritual world. His death not just gives an end to the story but also a beginning of a new life and story of Ivan.

Answer: History, Comedy, Tragedy,Musical, One Act Play

Explanation:

Answer:

The stage is a magical place! Live actors teach and entertain live audiences. The best part is that plays come in all shapes and sizes. Often set in the medieval or early modern past, a history play is based on a historical narrative. If the play has a happy ending, it is probably a comedy, but if it ends with a catastrophe for the main character, you can bet it is a tragedy. My favorite type play, the musical, was developed from light opera in the early 20th century and includes singing and dancing. What fun! If time is short then a director will likely select the short one-act play because it focuses on one main action or problem, and does not have long, complicated plot layers.

Doesnt have to be good!

Answers

Answer:

My new school building is a two story school building with a lot of classroom space each classroom has enough space for 29 students a classroom, a computer cart that has 30 chromebooks and a promethian board so you can teach a class properly. On the first floor we have the gym, 3 locker hallways, a cafe, and a autotorium with a water fountain in each hallway. On the second floor we have 4 more locker hallways, a music class, a main office, an exit, and a water fountain for each hallway. And on the outside there is a playground for the little and big kids. it also has a parking lot a,b,c,d,e for parking spaces so buses can park or family´s can see there kids perform a play or see a kids football game. And the rest are just more parking spaces. And that is the presentation of my school

Explanation:

I got a hundred for this on edginuity

Answer:

 In my envisionment of the new school structure, it consists of three floors. On each floor, there are different subjects and classes. On floor one, it consists of twelve classrooms, that can each hold about 30 students. On this ground-level floor, the subject is music and literature, for students who want to gain more knowledge and show interest in music and literature subjects. On floor two, we have regular classes such as; English, math, history, science, etc. On the third and final floor, you have the language learning classes, such as languages like; Spanish, Italian, French, Greek, Japanese, etc.

​​​​​​​  Behind the school, there is a smaller building that incorporates a gym and allows the students to gain muscle and feel healthier in their own skin, without having to worry about disturbances.

 To talk more about the psychical features of the school, I have structured the floors to each have stairs and ramps for disabled and/or injured students. While also installing braille systems on each floor for the blind and deaf. In my structure, everyone should have the utmost opportunity to learn and grow at a swift educational level, without having to run into any complications and issues due to psychical or mental incapabilities.
