The Apollo astronauts who went to the Moon are credited attaining with the fastest speeds at which humans have ever flown: about seven miles per second at the end of the rocket burn that lifted their craft beyond Earth's orbit. This is a paltry 1⁄250 of one percent of the speed of light.
Frederic Chopin
Frederic Chopin was born in Zelazowa Wola on March 1, 1810 and died in Paris on October 17, 1849. He was the son of a French father, Mikolaj Chopin and a cultured Polish mother. He grew up in Warsaw and took childhood music lessons from Wojciech Zywny and Jozef Eisner. He then entered the Conservatory (1826-9). By this time, he had performed in local salons and composed several pieces. His public and critical popularity increased during the years 1829-30. In those years, he gave concerts in Vienna and Warsaw. He also felt bad about his despair over the political problems in Poland. This, combined with his musical desire, led him to move to Paris in 1831. There, he got help from Kalkbrenner and Pleyel. He was also well received by Liszt and Schumann. He was introduced into the highest society and quickly made a name for himself as a private teacher and salon performer. He gave few public concerts. Even so, his playing was loved by all people. And he published much of his best music at the same time in Paris, London, and Leipzig.

What two aspects of the life of Cyclopes makes Odysseus think that they are uncivilized before he interacts with one?
When he looks at the land of the Cyclops, Odysseus can see that they have wonderful bunches of grapes. Soon he believes they are talented farmers. Agriculture for Odysseus is synonymous with civilization. Also, he realizes that Cyclops live in caves, which are like houses. Having a home is also a sign of civility for Odysseus.
However, Odysseus does not know that:
Cyclops do not cultivate the land and do not practice agriculture.Caves are inhospitable shelters and not a civilized home.Cyclops live in full barbarism and violence, without considering family and social relationships.This mistake of Odysseus in relation to the Cyclops, causes him and his men to be violently attacked, causing Odysseus to lose a large part of the crew and feel very guilty for having acted so incorrectly.
With this, we can conclude that we should never make decisions based only on what our eyes see, because appearances deceive.
We must not forget to mention that this question refers to the book "Odyssey" which tells the adventures of Odysseus and his crew, trying to return to their homes in Ithaca.

What did Galileo Galilei confirm about the sun?
Common Lit Question.
Answer:
That the Sun is at the center of the solar system, not orbiting around the Earth.
Explanation:
Galileo Galilei, an Italian astronomer born in 1564, made discoveries about our universe that changed our understanding of our world as we know it.
Upon learning about the spyglass, a new technology at the time, he wanted to use the invention for his astronomy experiments, so he built his own improved model. In 1609, using his early version of the spyglass, Galileo became the first person to record observations of the sky made with the help of a telescope.
After finding a few discoveries about the Moon, Jupiter, and Venus, he managed to create a hypothesis that the planets orbited around the Sun, not around Earth as many people believed at the time. This supported Copernicus, a previous astronomer's guesses many years before.
Looking to support his theory, he turned his gaze towards the Sun. Not knowing that the star would harm his eyesight, he observed that the sun had sunspots, which supported his theory.
After carefully poring over his research, he concluded that the sun, in fact, is at the center of the solar system, not the earth, which at the time was believed to have all the other planets orbit around it.
Galileo passed away on January 8, 1642 from a fever. His work is remembered to this day.

Answer: The author uses places, people, and actions as symbolism in some phrases to make the reader understand that "Ithaka" refers to our goals in life, our final destination.
Explanation:
Ithaka is the island home of Odysseus, the hero in the poem "The Oddysey". In that poem, he parts from his home and fights Poseidon, then takes a long journey to get back to Ithaka. This is why in the "Ithaka" poem, the author uses places, people, and actions to symbolize something else. Such as in the phrase: "Unless your soul sets them up in front of you". It does not mean that his enemies will appear in front of him, but to let the thought of them get to him.
In the whole poem, the author implies that reaching Ithaka is the reader's destination, wishing that the experiences learned are more valuable than getting to Ithaka itself.

Do you agree that godfrey gordon gustavus gore qualifies as a nonsense poem? What message does that it conveys?
Answer:
It is not a nonsense poem.
Explanation:
It is not a nonsense poem because it doesn't employ rhythm and rhyme. A Nonsense poem is humorous and with absurd characters the poem does not have meaningless made up words as a nonsense poem would.
The message of the poem is about the boy who would never do as he is told or what is expected of him. He always left the door open despite all that has been said and done.
This poem is basically about our human nature. People delay and do not give attention to specific things or details till a form of punishment or penance is given to them, then they finally acknowledge the work and start doing it.
Read the first two paragraphs of an essay about endangered animals. What is the relationship between the two paragraphs?
According to the Center for Biological Diversity, 30 to 50 percent of all endangered animals may be extinct within the next 30 years. The Endangered Species Act of 1973 works to protect endangered species by making it illegal to capture, harm, or shoot any animal that is endangered. Unfortunately, human activity continues to be one of the leading causes of extinction.
Tigers are on the endangered species list. There were roughly 100,000 tigers around the world in the early 1900s. Now there are fewer than 4,000. With tiger poachers, undocumented tigers in captivity, and tiger products on sale in the black market, the tiger population will continue to decline.

What happens to graders who use a red pen?A.They are more accurate with thier correctionsB.They find more errorsC.They feel themselves getting angrt when they gradeD.They make more mistakes
Answer:
Graders who use a red pen
The answer is:
A. They are more accurate with their corrections.
Explanation:
The use of red pen to grade has been traditional with teachers. The colour helps them to differentiate the students' work from the corrections made by the teachers. It also stands out prominently as distinct from the original work by the students.
However, recent researches have shown that it could have some negative effects on the students. For one, it is suspected to alienate the students from their teachers. Two, it could aggravate negative feelings in the students because of the sharpness of the red ink.
It is advised that teachers should choose other neutral colours in grading students. They could use blue if the student used black and vice versa.

Summarize in one sentence
Once these disparate parts were held together by a common enemy, by the fault lines of
world wars and the electrified fence of communism. With the end of the cold war there was the
creeping concern that without a focus for hatred and distrust, a sense of national identity would
evaporate, that the left side of the hyphen - African-American, Mexican-American, Irish-American-
would overwhelm the right. And slow-growing domestic traumas like economic unrest and
increasing crime seemed more likely to emphasize division than community. Today the citizens of
the United States have come together once more because of armed conflict and enemy attack.
Terrorism has led to devastation - and unity.
Answer:
something along the lines of how wars are and have different methods and impacts on different groups of people.
