From Emperor to Citizen is a biography of the last emperor of China.
True
False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
It is an autobiography, since the person who wrote the book, wrote about themselves.
"From Emperor to Citizen" is not a biography of the last emperor of China, hence the given statement is false.
Actually, Pu Yi, the final emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the last emperor of China, wrote an autobiography.
Pu Yi describes his life experiences in the book, including his reign as emperor and his subsequent transition to a civilian life following the collapse of the Qing Dynasty and the founding of the Republic of China.
A biography is a narrative or written account of a person's life. It gives a general account of the person's background, experiences, accomplishments, difficulties, and noteworthy occasions.

Read the excerpt from "What the Black Man Wants." I am for the "immediate, unconditional, and universal" enfranchisement of the black man, in every State in the Union. [Loud applause.] Without this, his liberty is a mockery; without this, you might as well almost retain the old name of slavery for his condition; for in fact, if he is not the slave of the individual master, he is the slave of society, and holds his liberty as a privilege, not as a right. He is at the mercy of the mob, and has no means of protecting himself. How does the repetition of the phrase "without this" support the paragraph’s argument?

1. What did I reaffirm about my learning? (I don’t get the reaffirm means…)
2. I showed critical thinking when….(Thinking outside the box) (I don’t get critical thinking really well… and I have no idea what the “thinking outside the box” is… Someone give me an example and explanation thx)
Answer:
Answer
Explanation:
1. It is just stating to have you validate or confirm what you did about your learning. For example say I was in Math to "reaffirm" what I did I would say I did geometry and this is what I learned....
2. Critical thinking means like just a little harder. Say you where trying to explain to me a different language I would need you to explain go a little farther than just say words in the different language. Think outside the box just means think out of the ordinary, give the professor or teacher a remarkable explanation on when you showed critical thinking.
Hope this helps!

5. These extracts set the plot of the novel in motion. Write a few sentences to summarise the plot until this point. (5)
the questions (1-5) should be answered in full sentences
here's the reading extract for context:
Ebraime stared up the slope into the gathering mist. Tongues and tracers of cloud raced past the shattered base of the cliffs; below him the mountain fell sharply away, golden in the light of the setting sun. He had never climbed so high before, and he was scared. He had never lost a sheep before. That scared him too.
He crouched against the mountainside, afraid to look back. Against the rising noise of the wind he heard the bleating of the ewe once more. It came from his right, it seemed. Cautiously he crept, hand and foot, up the loose, stony slope. The fierce wind was growing colder, biting through his thin khaki shirt. He glanced back. Behind him the golden light died with the sunset as he reached the base of the broken cliffs.
Zebasberg is a fierce mountain. Ebraime stared up at the soaring, cold grey rocks and trembled. He crept carefully around and between the huge boulders that littered the base of the peak, following the faint bleat of the sheep. The light was dim and dying when at last he found the ewe. She lay in a hollow between two slabs, a small corner of shelter from the rising storm. Gratefully he slipped down beside her. 'Quiet now, quiet now, he whispered gently. The ewe gazed at him with empty eyes and nuzzled closer. Outside the hollow, the wind howled and the world went black..
Ebraime nestled against the warmth of the ewe and looked out at the invisible night. I didn't lose her, he thought proudly. Tomorrow it will be light again and I can lead her down to the farm. Mr Lamprechts will be well pleased with me. He will see that I work well when I bring back this sheep. Ebraime huddled against the warm sheep in the sheltered hollow and was soon asleep.
In the hollow high up against Zebasberg, the ewe raised her head. She sniffed the air and gave a loud bleat. Ebraime woke at once. Where am I? Ebraime thought, clutching the ewe. She struggled and suddenly called again. He held her tight around the middle, peering into the darkness.
What's wrong? he thought. "Be still, be still,' he whispered to the ewe. She tried to lunge to her feet. 'Still, still,' he tried to calm her, when sud denly he became aware of the smell. A terrible rank pungent smell, some thing new in the hollow, something close at hand. "Go away!' he shout ed, terrified.
The ewe lunged without warning and a hot gust of foul breath came out of the dark. Something unseen and awful struck Ebraime full in the face. The ewe screamed, a long des perate bleat, and tore loose from his grip. Another awful searing blow ripped across his face and neck.
He reeled back and screamed from fear and the terrible pain of the blow. The unseen shape knocked him carelessly aside and with a throaty roar leaped away out of the hollow. He felt himself sinking into darkness and he tried to cry out again. Far away, he heard the last bleat as the beast took the ewe. The terrible pain shrank away as he slipped into unconsciousness.
There was no one at the cottage. In the kitchen he found a half-loaf of bread. He wolfed the bread and sank exhausted into a chair facing the open door.
He didn't hear the girl's approach. He was roused by the cautious knock and the soft call 'Ouma Sanna?' He stumbled to his feet. The girl was sil houetted against the bright sunshine outside the door. Ebraime stood up and tried to speak. He had hardly realised that no sound would come when the girl screamed, a scream that echoed shrilly around the room and out across the farmyard. Ebraime stood rooted in the doorway. The girl's screams bewildered and frightened him. What was wrong? Why had the girl screamed like that? He looked back into the cottage. Something moved on his left and he started violently. The light was slanting across Ouma Sanna's only picture, a hand-coloured photograph of herself as a young woman, hand in hand with a young man. Ebraime turned towards the movement and realised that it was his own reflection that had moved. His face was reflected in the dusty glass.
Two eyes stared wildly at him from a face raked with raw, bloody stripes, puffed and wounded and horrible. Suddenly he understood. My face, he shouted to himself. It's my face!

Answer:
Hey John, how are you doing? We've not exchanged mail much since I went to UAE to work as an expatriate.
Man, this place is a truly beautiful place! It has different cultures and there is little to no cultural tension among the different cultures. Each month or two weeks, there's a cultural performance of some kind and the people are excited to be a part of it.
Did you know there is even a Minister of Tolerance here who is in charge of social cohesion and cultural integration over here.
Being a foreigner in a strange land is not as different as I thought as the people are excited to have foreigners in their countries and they have heard so much of Canadians and they are always ready to help me.
I hope to see you soon, John. Take care of yourself man.

Read the resolution and the affirmative claim.
Resolution: Higher education should be available at no cost in the US.

As described in the selection from Silent Spring, what is the town like before everything begins to change
This question is missing the excerpt and the answer choices. I was able to find them online. They are the following:
Excerpt from "Silent Spring":
There was once a town in the heart of America where all life seemed to live in harmony with its surroundings. The town lay in the midst of a checkerboard of prosperous farms, with fields of grain and hillsides of orchards where, in spring, white clouds of bloom drifted above the green fields. In autumn, oak and maple and birch set up a blaze of color that flamed and flickered across a backdrop of pines. The foxes barked in the hills and deer silently crossed the fields, half hidden in the mists of fall mornings.
As described in the selection from "Silent Spring," what is the town like before everything begins to change? Choose two options
A. prosperous
B. unhappy
C. beautiful
D. crowded
E. troubled
Answer:
The town is:
A. prosperous
C. beautiful
Explanation:
"Silent Spring" is a book first published in 1962 which discusses the harmful effects of pesticides over nature. The book raised important questions concerning the future of our planet. The book's author was Rachel Carson (1907-1964), a marine biologist from Pennsylvania.
In the excerpt we are analyzing here, the word "prosperous" appears explicitly when the author describes the farms around the city. However, the adjective "beautiful" is not explicitly mentioned. Nonetheless, we can easily choose it because of the detailed description Carson gives. The town and its surroundings are nothing short of a paradise. Green fields, white clouds, peaceful animals, colorful trees - a true description of a scenery almost everyone would consider beautiful. Therefore, the best options are letters A and C, prosperous and beautiful, respectively.
PLEASE I NEED HELP ASAP!!!!Read the following excerpt from Joseph Chamberlain's "The True Conception of Empire":
You can not have omelettes without breaking eggs, you
can not destroy the practises of barbarism, of slavery, of
superstition, which for centuries have desolated the
interior of Africa, without the use of force; but if you will
fairly contrast the gain to humanity with the price which
we are bound to pay for it, I think you may well rejoice in
the result of such expeditions as those which haver
recently been conducted with such signal success in
Nyassaland, Ashanti, Benin, and Nupé - expeditions
which may have, and indeed have, cost valuable lives, but
as to which we may rest assured that for one life lost a
hundred will be gained, and the cause of civilization and
the prosperity of the people will in the long run be
eminently advanced. But no doubt such a state of things,
such a mission as I have described, involves heavy
responsibility. In the wide dominions of the queen the
doors of the temple of Janus are never closed, and it is a
gigantic task that we have undertaken when we have
determined to wield the scepter of empire. Great is the
task, great is the responsibility, but great is the honor, and
I am convinced that the conscience and the spirit of the
country will rise to the height of its obligations, and that
we shall have the strength to fulfil the mission which our
history and our national character have imposed upon us.
Analyze the author's word choices and use of language in this excerpt. How do they suggest that speaker holds an imperialistic attitude? Be sure to include specific examples from the excerpt to support your answer.
Answer:
Imperialism is often associated with exerting control over people and territories. It is directly related to the use of force, be it military or not - maybe some sort of financial and cultural control.
We can see those characteristics in this excerpt. It is typical of imperialist minds and the propaganda they spread to claim that it is all done for a greater good. Even death. It is only another step on the way up. That can be clearly seen in the following sentences: "you can not destroy practises of barbarism, of slavery, superstition, which for centuries have desolated in the interior Africa, without the use of force" and " we may rest assured that for one life lost a hundred will be gained, and the cause of civilization and the prosperity of the people will in the long run be eminently advanced."
Explanation:
The analysis of the word choice of the author is that he uses descriptive language to show the evils of imperialism.
What is Imperialism?This refers to the political and economic activity that is taken when one country seizes the country of another country and governs them, usually by force.
Hence, we can see that the diction of the speaker suggests that he has an imperialistic attitude because he states that the actions of the government were done for the greater good.
An example is given thus: "you can not destroy practises of barbarism, of slavery, superstition, which for centuries have desolated in the interior Africa, without the use of force"
