What is the Literal meaning and deeper meaning?
You’re Not Black

So how dare you? How dare you put me down!
Question my ethnicity, I’m still a shade of brown
And I’m sorry if I don’t live up to your ‘black norms’
But I live in a world with segregated dorms
Society crushes me, tells me I’m ugly
But copies my features, they must think it’s funny
I’m not trying to in any way be mean
But I live in a society covered in white sheen
Sorry to Bother You, but I should Get Out
’Cause The Hate U Give leaves me with no doubt
That I am not The Help, the help that you need
But the Hidden Figures are clear to see
That I should stop trying to be ‘Black’ and just try to be
Me

Answers

the literal meaning is "that society hates black people yet they copy them" basically saying that people do be getting bigger lips and eyes, yet they still don't see them as equals. the deeper meaning is that most of the country is white, and they want the black people to leave, even though they're gonna steal they're features. I think by saying "That I should stop trying to be ‘Black’ and just try to be me" they mean to stop being "ugly and unwanted and to just be 'normal'" like other white people when at the end of the day, we are the same.

Identify the dangling modifier and rewrite the sentence correctly. 1.On her way, Jan found a gold man's watch. 2. The child ate a cold dish of cereal for breakfast this morning 3. The torn student's book lay on the desk 4. Just John was picked to host the program

Answers

Explanation:

Note, in the English Language, the term modifier refers to a word, phrase, or clause that is used to modify (or adds meaning to) other words in a sentence. Note, the modifier of the sentence is bolded.

1. "On her way, Jan found a gold man's watch." Here, the word 'a' (a proposition) acts as a modifier of the word, "gold man's watch".

2. "The child ate a cold dish of cereal for breakfast this morning." Here, the phrase"a cold dish of" modifies the word "child ate", And the word, "this" modifies the word "morning".

3. "The torn student's book lay on the desk." Here, the word, "on the" acts as the modifier of the phrase, "The torn student's book lay".

4. "Just John was picked to host the program," Here, the phrase "was picked to"  modify the phrase, "host the program".

Answers

Answer:

1. At 9:10 this morning, we'll be leaving for the natural history museum.

2. Please bring the following materials with you: pencils, paper, erasers, and a notebook.

3. The bus will be back at 4 AM to pick us up.

4. The special exhibit on birds contains the following types: prehistoric birds, seabirds, and domestic birds.

5. The letter we wrote to the museum began: "Dear Sir, Please let us known when the special exhibition on penguins will be shown at your museum."

Explanation:

When related to time, as in sentence 1, colons are used between hours and minutes. When only hours are used, a colon is not needed, as in sentence 3, unless you want to emphasize 4:00 AM exactly.

Colons are also used preceding a list. This is the case in sentences 2 and 4.

Colons can further be used to quote something; this is the case in sentence 5.

Can you provide a photo of the passage?

In this unit, you’ve looked at opposing viewpoints on issues that drove one of the most controversial eras in US history—the time before, during, and after the Civil War. As you know, some of the same issues still exist in twenty-first century American culture and politics. For example, race relations, civil rights, labor rights, and state versus federal control are still targets of movements for social change. And each issue meets up with resistance from opposing forces.

Choose a source of conflict that you are aware of in American culture now and describe it in this discussion forum. Would you consider it primarily an interpersonal conflict, a political conflict, or a social conflict? Does it have roots in the era of the Civil War, or is it a modern issue? Why do you think people are so passionate about the issue? What possibilities do you see for resolving the conflict, and how long might that take?

Answers

Answer: A conflict that I know of in American culture now is sexism. It is a social conflict it is a modern issue. And to resolve the conflict I say we as a people should unite and treat each other equally. There is no such thing as a "lesser gender." People need to get that out of their heads. I don't really know why people are passionate about it because it doesn't make sense. For there to be any chance of sexism fading it has to be registered in people's minds that we wouldn't be here without the other gender. It could take forever.

Writing an Argumentative Essay about Fire Prevention

Answers

Answer:

i hope this is ok

Explanation:

Fire preventions important due to multiple reasons including it can stop most of the forest fires that start. Stop playing with fire, thats pretty self explanitart always keeps a fire extinguisher in the place you live (depending on where you live) fires be as often as they are now, but that due to open fires, gas leaks and ciggerates left in dead leaves or grass

Answer:

Forestry managers face what seems like an unavoidable tradeoff. Controlled burns in Western forests reduce the risk of wildfire but release carbon dioxide, contributing to climate change. But a team of ecologists recently showed that controlled burns can benefit the climate in the long term.

Since the 1960s, attempts to suppress natural low-intensity fires led to forests overgrown with small trees and loaded with dead leaves. These act as fuels that easily accelerate a small fire into a forest-clearing inferno, though burning some fuel when winds are low and humidity is high—making a wildfire unlikely—can help prevent future disasters.

In 2012, calculations suggested that restoring low-intensity fire would release more carbon than not burning. However, new computer simulations of wildfire behavior over several decades showed that prescribed burns and vegetation thinning can both reduce the risk of wildfire and trap more carbon in tree growth than an untreated forest.

“When we’re actually doing treatments in the forest, you can’t just light a fire under what would generate wildfire conditions and see how your treatments burn,” said Matthew Hurteau, a University of New Mexico forestry professor and lead author of a forthcoming study in the journal Ecological Applications. “The modeling is really important because then we can look at a range of conditions under which a fire might occur and see how that interacts with the forest structure.”

After surveying a northern Arizona ponderosa pine forest, Hurteau’s group modeled how the forest responded to high and low probabilities of stand-replacing wildfire, the most intense and damaging kind. They ran many simulations with randomized wildfire behavior to get a range of results for different fire prevention treatments.The simulations showed that when wildfire is added to the system, even the most invasive treatment, thinning and burning, trapped more carbon than it lost—after 40 years for a high probability of wildfire, and after 51 years for low probability of wildfire.

John Campbell, an Oregon State University forestry professor, remains skeptical that the simulations definitively show that thinning and burning has a positive effect on the atmosphere.

“I don’t think there are any studies…that are going to suggest that an actively thinned and prescribed-burn forest actually in the long term maintains higher carbon than one that isn’t,” Campbell said. However, he does not deny the treatments reduce the risk of intense wildfires.

Malcolm North, a Forest Service research scientist who co-wrote the study with Hurteau, said that how a controlled burn affects the climate depends on the region. In the Pacific Northwest, where forests receive lots of moisture and fires are easier to suppress, a treated forest would not trap as much carbon, North said.

“I think that Campbell’s argument is actually a very good argument in systems that are pretty productive and also where fire suppression really does tamp down the fire,” North said. “But if you go to a drier system that’s not so productive… you get a benefit” from controlled burns. In Southwestern forests, where wildfires are hard to prevent, reducing the amount of fuel through controlled burns creates forests better at both trapping carbon and resisting wildfire, he said. But even in wetter climates, controlled burns help forests by killing small trees, North said. Forests packed with young trees have greater competition for moisture, making all of the trees more vulnerable to drought. “If you don’t treat the forest, you can sometimes lose the very old-growth trees that you want to hold on to—the trees that hold the most carbon,” he said.

By opening gaps in the canopy, controlled fires restore variety to the forest’s structure, making it more resilient to climate change, said Morgan Wiechmann, a researcher at the University of Minnesota and collaborator with North and Hurteau.

“When you put in place this prescribed fire, you’re restoring some of those ecological benefits that naturally occurring fires used to give,” Wiechmann said.

North said forest managers need to use fire as a tool more often. “We’re fighting a battle and we’re tying one of our arms behind our back, and frankly that arm has the Popeye muscles on it,” North said. “We need to work with the fire, and let the fire help us do some of the fuels reduction.”
