The world we live in today is not very different to 1984 in the way that our government watches what we do through our devices and through cameras we may not see. The government today also uses the websites we use every day to influence us. for instance, the adds on our social media sites are put there because of what the microphone on our computer or phone heard. the news today is also some what similar in the way that political candidates or the producers of the news outlet, can force or influence us to agree with them over what would normally seem logical or morally right.
Name and explain one law/legislation that protects citizens against the xenophobia
Answer:
The law/legislation that protects citizens against xenophobia is The Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act, passed in 2000, in South Africa.
Explanation:
This is an extensive South African law against discrimination. It forbids any governmental body or private institution to discriminate, hate and persecute people.
According to the act, all forms of discrimination (whether based on racial origin, gender, social or familiar status, skin color, religion, and cultural practices, among others) are forbidden and imply legal consequences.
On the afternoon of that same Sunday I took my first long ride on my pony, under Otto's direction. After that Dude and I went twice a week to the post-office, six miles east of us, and I saved the men a good deal of time by riding on errands to our neighbors.
2 All the years that have passed have not dimmed my memory of that first glorious autumn. The new country lay open before me: there were no fences in those days. Sometimes I followed the sunflower-bordered roads. Fuchs told me that the sunflowers were introduced into that country by the Mormons; that at the time of the persecution, when they left Missouri and struck out into the wilderness to find a place where they could worship God in their own way, the members of the first exploring party, crossing the plains to Utah, scattered sunflower seed as they went. The next summer, when the long trains of wagons came through with all the women and children, they had the sunflower trail to follow. I believe that botanists do not confirm Fuchs's story, but insist that the sunflower was native to those plains. Nevertheless, that legend has stuck in my mind, and sunflower-bordered roads always seem to me the roads to freedom.
3 I used to love to drift along the pale-yellow cornfields, looking for the damp spots one sometimes found at their edges, where the smartweed soon turned a rich copper color and the narrow brown leaves hung curled like cocoons about the swollen joints of the stem. Sometimes I went south to visit our German neighbors and to admire their catalpa grove, or to see the big elm tree that grew up out of a deep crack in the earth and had a hawk's nest in its branches. Trees were so rare in that country, and they had to make such a hard fight to grow, that we used to feel anxious about them, and visit them as if they were persons. It must have been the scarcity of detail in that tawny landscape that made detail so precious.
4 Sometimes I rode north to the big prairie-dog town to watch the brown earth-owls fly home in the late afternoon and go down to their nests underground with the dogs. Antonia Shimerda liked to go with me, and we used to wonder a great deal about these birds of subterranean habit. We had to be on our guard there, for rattlesnakes were always lurking about. They came to pick up an easy living among the dogs and owls, which were quite defenseless against them; took possession of their comfortable houses and ate the eggs and puppies. We felt sorry for the owls. It was always mournful to see them come flying home at sunset and disappear under the earth. But, after all, we felt, winged things who would live like that must be rather degraded creatures.
5 Antonia had opinions about everything, and she was soon able to make them known. Almost every day she came running across the prairie to have her reading lesson with me. Mrs. Shimerda grumbled, but realized it was important that one member of the family should learn English. When the lesson was over, we used to go up to the watermelon patch behind the garden. I split the melons with an old corn-knife, and we lifted out the hearts and ate them with the juice trickling through our fingers.
6 Antonia loved to help grandmother in the kitchen and to learn about cooking and housekeeping. She would stand beside her, watching her every movement. We were willing to believe that Mrs. Shimerda was a good housewife in her own country, but she managed poorly under new conditions: the conditions were bad enough, certainly!
7 I remember how horrified we were at the sour, ashy-grey bread she gave her family to eat. She mixed her dough, we discovered, in an old tin peck-measure that Krajiek had used about the barn. When she took the paste out to bake it, she left smears of dough sticking to the sides of the measure, put the measure on the shelf behind the stove, and let this residue ferment. The next time she made bread, she scraped this sour stuff down into the fresh dough to serve as yeast.
8 During those first months the Shimerdas never went to town. Krajiek encouraged them in the belief that in Black Hawk they would somehow be mysteriously separated from their money. They hated Krajiek, but they clung to him because he was the only human being with whom they could talk or from whom they could get information. He slept with the old man and the two boys in the dugout barn, along with the oxen. They kept him in their hole and fed him for the same reason that the prairie-dogs and the brown owls house the rattlesnakes-- because they did not know how to get rid of him.
In this excerpt from her novel, My Antonia, Willa Cather uses several figures of speech in her descriptions. Quoting the text, list at least two of the figures of speech that Cather uses, and describe the effect each one has on the reader.
Two of the main figures used by the author are flashback and simile
1. A flashback is defined as a sudden vivid memory of a event in the past. In this case, the author is recalling the story of how sunflowers were introduced into that country. (Fuchs told me that the sunflowers were introduced into that country by the Mormons; that at the time of the persecution, when they left Missouri).
2. Simile: is a comparison between 2 unlike things. Usually use "like" or "as" In this excerpt examples of simile are:
a) we used to feel anxious about them (the trees), and visit them as if they were persons.
b) But, after all, we felt, winged things who would live like that must be rather degraded creatures

Taylor and Jane are sisters. They started a babysitting business because each sister needs to save money for a summer trip. Together, they decided on a plan for advertising their business and splitting both the clients and money evenly. The business had been going well for three weeks, but yesterday, Jane was asked to babysit for a family at the last minute. She didn’t have time to tell Taylor, but she took the job and decided to keep the money for herself. She figures what Taylor doesn’t know won’t hurt her.

2. What are some examples of ineffective teamwork in the example above?
3. How could Jane have handled the situation differently?
4. How would you react to the situation if you were Taylor and found out about Jane withholding? Explain your answer.
1. What are some examples of effective teamwork in the example above?

2. What are some examples of ineffective teamwork in the example above?
Jane was asked to babysit for a family at the last minute. She didn’t have time to tell Taylor, but she took the job and decided to keep the money for herself.
3. How could Jane have handled the situation differently?
She could of still told Jane and they both could have went together even if it was at the last minute.
4. How would you react to the situation if you were Taylor and found out about Jane withholding? Explain your answer.
I would take that money that she made and make her do other work to earn that same amount back, and then it'll be like she never did what she did behind my back :)
~Hope this answers your question!~
Effective teamwork is seen in the sisters' initial agreement to share responsibilities and earnings, while ineffective teamwork is exemplified by Jane keeping the last-minute job earnings to herself. Jane should have communicated with Taylor and maintained their agreement, and Taylor would likely address the issue through a constructive conversation if she found out.
In the scenario described, effective teamwork is represented by Taylor and Jane initially deciding on a plan for advertising their babysitting business and agreeing to split both clients and money evenly. This collaboration shows their commitment to share responsibilities and rewards equally as part of their work arrangement.
Examples of ineffective teamwork include Jane deciding to keep money from a last-minute babysitting job for herself without informing Taylor. This action undermines their agreement to split earnings, disrupts the trust between them, and could potentially harm their business if Taylor were to find out and feel betrayed.
Jane could have handled the situation differently by informing Taylor about the last-minute job as soon as possible and adhering to their initial agreement of sharing the earnings. If Jane could not inform Taylor in time, she should still have set aside Taylor's share and explained the situation later, maintaining the honesty and integrity of their partnership.
If I were Taylor and found out about Jane's withholding of money, my reaction would involve a conversation to understand why it happened and to express the importance of trust and communication in our partnership. Finding a resolution that reaffirms our agreement and prevents similar incidents in the future would be essential for the continuity of the business.

Both poems “This Is Just To Say” by William Williams and “No Ide Days” by Chris Colderly is similar because they have the same type of rhythm. First, both the stories use 4 lines in each stanza. If the poet uses 4 lines in every stanza this creates a similar rhythm because readers read it at the same pace.
In addition, Both poets doesn’t use periods, which also creates the similar rhythmic way we read this. Periods can emphasize feelings, and add meaning but without them, our pace doesn't really change and makes us read the poems in a similar way
Furthermore, both poems have lines with only one word that ends in a “ing”. This creates a pattern in our way we read. Since there are no other words in the line, it makes us wonder if there is a deeper meaning

Which of these sentences exhibits proper usage?
A. Leonardo da Vinci's “Mona Lisa” is probably the most famous painting in the world.
B. Leonardo da Vinci's, Mona Lisa, is probably the most famous Painting in the world.
C. Leonardo da Vinci's “Mona Lisa” is probably the most famous painting in the world.
D. Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa is probably the most famous painting in the world.
Answer:
The sentence that exhibits proper usage is:
D. Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa is probably the most famous painting in the world.
Explanation:
The reasons behind are the following. first A and C are the same exact answer. And they are wrong because they separate "Mona Lisa" with quotation marks that are not required. After all, we are talking direclty about it, we don't need to quote it because that is its name. Then B, separate three phrases to say we are not talking about the same idea. Therefore eventhough D is a long sentece it keeps the sense and the idea.
In " Excerpt from Printer's Ink" and " Excerpt from Young Ben Franklin", what quality about Ben Franklin is emphasized in both articles? How does each author support this quality about Ben Franklin? BTW: this is an extended response!! Need HELP
The emphasized quality is that Ben was a perseverant, hard-working young boy and besides that he liked to read in paragraph one says: From a child I was fond of Reading. "All the little money that came into my hands was ever laid out in books". In paragraph two the author says that Ben didn't like his job with his father's soap and candle shop but it helped him learn the importance of hard work. In paragraph four it says that Mr. Franklin sent Ben to work with his older brother James who owned a print shop. Although James was often harsh with his little brother, Ben enjoyed the printing business.
Franklin’s curious mind and a quest for learning are emphasized as a common note on both ‘The excerpt from Young Ben Franklin’ and ‘Excerpt from Printer’s Ink’.
Explanation:
‘The excerpt from Young Ben Franklin’ describes the curious nature of Franklin to read books and learn every day. He always had a strong fascination towards acquiring knowledge.
The Excerpt from Printer’s Ink also establishes the same point when he is found to be working on his brother’s print shops. He describes it as a greatest place to be, as the place relates to the publishing of articles in various areas like science, politics and entertainment. He is also found to be writing even on his deathbed. The dedication of Franklin to learn and acquire knowledge was very high.

In 'The Namesake' by Jhumpa Lahiri, Where does Gogol feel most at home?
Use evidence from the text to support and explain your answer.
giving BRAINLIEST to the LONGEST answer. everything helps, thank you :))
In 'The Namesake' by Jhumpa Lahiri, every character is in the search of a home where to belong to, and the different houses they habitate mirror their personalities. The wealthy Ratliffs live in an extravagant mansion. Gogol's room at university is kind of disheartening. The first residence of the Ganguli's is small and uncomfortable, but full of love. If identity derives from the sense of home, it is not a surprise that Gogol has many difficulties in finding and setting up a permanent one. This may explain why he wants to become an architect (to build his own home).
But, as the story develops, the narrator acknowledges that "...is his room at Yale where Gogol feels most comfortable. He likes its oldness, its persistent grace. He likes that so many students have occupied it before him. He likes the solidity of its plaster walls, its dark wooden
floorboards, however battered and stained. He likes the dormer window he sees first thing in the mornings when he opens his eyes and looking at Battell Chapel. He has fallen in love with the Gothic architecture of the campus, always astonished by the physical beauty that surrounds him, that roots him to his environs in a way he had never felt growing up on Pemberton Road." (Evidence from the text).
Thus, Gogol's transitory place of comfort turns to be his Yale dormitory rather than the house where he grew up, implying that he has more flair to get used to new places than his parents.

Which of the following sound devices is most evident in line 2?
A.alliteration
B.assonance
C.cacophony
D.consonance
E.onomatopoeia
The sound device that is most evident in line 2 is Alliteration
The most evident sound device in this line is assonance, as it emphasizes the melodious and harmonious qualities of the subject's beauty. Therefore, option B is correct.
In the line "She walks in beauty, like the night," the most evident sound device is B. assonance.
Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within words in close proximity. In this line, the "o" sound in "walks," "in," and "like" creates a melodious and harmonious effect. The long "i" sound in "night" and "like" also contributes to this assonance, enhancing the musical quality of the line.
Let's break it down:
- "walks" and "like" both contain the same "o" sound.
- "like" and "night" share the long "i" sound.
This assonance creates a smooth and pleasing rhythm in the line, which is fitting because the poem is celebrating the beauty of the subject. The sounds flow together, mirroring the idea of the subject's graceful and serene beauty.
Alliteration, on the other hand, is the repetition of initial consonant sounds, and there isn't a prominent example of this in the given line. Consonance involves the repetition of consonant sounds within or at the end of words, and this isn't present either. Cacophony refers to harsh, discordant sounds, which is not the case in this line. Onomatopoeia involves words that imitate the sound they represent, which is also not applicable here.
So, the most evident sound device in this line is assonance, as it emphasizes the melodious and harmonious qualities of the subject's beauty.

For God's sake, are we crazy? In the face of history, of every line of philosophy, against the teaching of every religionist and seer and prophet the world has ever given us, we are still doing what our barbarous ancestors did when they came out of the caves and the woods!
Which statement is the best objective summary of Paragraph 8 of the excerpt?
Darrow calls the audience crazy and bullies them into choosing a punishment other than the death penalty for the boys.
Darrow refers to the boys as "barbarous," which strengthens his case for giving them the death penalty.
Darrow argues that giving the boys the death penalty would be a barbaric act that is not in line with the audience's beliefs.
Darrow manipulates the audience by evoking their emotions even though the boys clearly deserve the death penalty.
Answer:
Darrow argues that giving the boys the death penalty would be a barbaric act that is not in line with the audience's beliefs.
Explanation:
First, it's important to understand if Darrow wants the death penalty or not. He is not in favor of the death penalty. Killing someone for committing a crime, in his opinion, is the caveman's system of punishment. Any option that suggests the boys deserve or should receive the death penalty must be eliminated. This leaves the first and third options. Second, the purpose behind referring to history, philosophy, and the teaching of others is to talk about the audience's beliefs. A person's belief system is usually built from their culture which includes history, philosophy and the teaching they follow. Darrow is saying that all of these sources view the death penalty as barbaric.
