Read the passage from "How Should One Read a Book?”
Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconceptions when we read, that would be an admirable beginning.
The reader can conclude that the passage comes from a(n)
biography.
essay.
myth.
play.
Answer:
Essay
Explanation:
An essay is a well written piece of writing that mainly deals with a single subject.
The reader can conclude that the passage comes from an essay because it has a single clear central idea which is books and how we should read them and is making an argument which are important qualities of an essay.
Furthermore, the passage cannot be a biography because it is not talking about the life of someone, nor is it a myth as it discusses real issues, neither is it a play because there are no actors or a stage.
Answer:
The reader can conclude that the passage comes from a(n)
biography. essay. <<<CORRECT myth. play.

Choose one of the two questions:
1. How does the title, Of Mice and Men, connect to its plot and themes? --OR--
2. Select and copy (with quotation marks) one quote from pages 24-54 in Of Mice and Men. Explain why the quote is important to the story as a whole.

What do you think is the purpose of this folktale in bio culture and what moral lesson does it teach? (In the book things fall apart)
Answer:
Folktales are a way of passing on the clan's culture in Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, a novel about the Igbo culture in Nigeria taken over by English missionaries. Typically, folktales are viewed as a pastime of the Igbo women, but Nwoye, son of the main character Okonkwo, enjoys the folktales his mother tells, though his father disapproves. Animals figure prominently in all of the tales and these narratives often contain bits of memorable wisdom. They offer explanations, advice, and offer an activity to bond one generation to another.

The reality is often quite different, a great national striving consisting frequently of failure.
Many of the oft-told stories of the most pluralistic nation on earth are stories not of tolerance, but of
bigotry. Slavery and sweatshops, the burning of crosses and the ostracism of the other. Children
learn in social studies class and in the news of the lynching of blacks, the denial of rights to women,
the murders of gay men. It is difficult to know how to convince them that this amounts to "crown
thy good with brotherhood," that amid all the failures is something spectacularly successful.
Perhaps they understand it at this moment, when enormous tragedy, as it so often does, demands a
time of reflection on enormous blessings.
Answer:
reality is full of very problematic issues and events.

please help due tomorrow its one paragrpah
Answer:try looking at the chapter then keep going back and forth until your paragraph is done
Explanation:
As Odysseus and his crew approach their next challenge, Odysseus tells them about the Sirens and how they will tempt the crew. He says, "then we die with our eyes open, if we are going to die, or know what death we baffle if we can". Odysseus seems to think that ‘knowledge is power'. Do you agree with him? In a difficult situation do you think it is best to know your odds, or would you rather not know all the details of what you are up against?
Answer:
Odysseus is right about "Knowledge being power". This is because, being knowledgeable would afford you the ability to know how to solve your problems rather than neing ignorant and dieing in it. Without the knowldege about the Seriens, Odysseus and his crew could have perished.
I also believed that, it is the wise thing to know your odds in a difficult situation rather than bieng kept in the dark. Ignorance is an expensive act that has never benefited anyone.

The silver sword chapter 3 summary
Answer:
Chapter 3: The Hiding-Place
When the cage stops, a flashlight illuminates Joseph’s face. Joseph is holding a large chunk of chocolate that appears like a gun in the dark; he says he has a revolver pointed, and if the person makes a sound, he will shoot. The voice swears in Polish, not German, so Joseph’s manner becomes gentler. He tells the man to unload the cage and to take him to where he lives.
The man obeys and takes Joseph to his chalet. There is an old woman sitting by a bright fire. Joseph explains why he is wearing the Nazi uniform, and shows them his number on his arm. They believe him, and bravely decide to let him stay. They give him a warm bed and tell him he can hide in the woodshed if guards come looking for him.
However, when German voices sound out the next morning there, is no time to run to the shed, so Joseph climbs into the chimney. He is almost discovered, but soot puffing out of the chimney leads the Germans to run away for fear of dirtying their uniforms.
Joseph remains for two weeks with the old couple, who treat him as a son. He eats well and feels at peace for the first time in a long while. He is often tempted to go outside, but knows he cannot expose himself.
When it is time to leave, the old man guides him for three days until they clear the precipitous mountains. They reach the edge of the snow line and Joseph is filled with happiness when he sees flowers. The old man blesses him and wishes him good fortune.

Which detail from “ Lessons of Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr” best supports the theme that the fight for social justice often requires determination and sacrifice?
Answer:
The detail from "Lessons of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." that best supports the theme of fight for social justice is "Dr. King knew that he very probably wouldn’t survive the struggle that he led so well. But he said, ‘If I am stopped, the movement will not stop. . . . For what we are doing is right’".
This excerpt shows that Martin Luther King was even willing to die for the cause he believed in and the struggle for social justice; therefore, these words present a figure whose life was marked by sacrifice and determination, which were highly necessary to achieve his main goals: freedom, equality and justice. Martin Luther King gave up his life for a better cause when he was assassinated in 1968 due to the fact he became the leader of the Civil Rights Movement.
