Read the excerpt from "An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness.”
The earth seemed unearthly. We are accustomed to look upon the shackled form of a conquered monster, but there—there you could look at a thing monstrous and free. It was unearthly, and the men were—No, they were not inhuman. Well, you know, that was the worst of it—this suspicion of their not being inhuman. It would come slowly to one. They howled and leaped, and spun, and made horrid faces; but what thrilled you was just the thought of their humanity—like yours—the thought of your remote kinship with this wild and passionate uproar.
Read the passage from Frank Willett, a British art historian.
Gauguin had gone to Tahiti, the most extravagant individual act of turning to a non-European culture in the decades immediately before and after 1900, when European artists were avid for new artistic experiences, but it was only about 1904–5 that African art began to make its distinctive impact. One piece is still identifiable; it is a mask that had been given to Maurice Vlaminck in 1905. He records that Derain was "speechless" and "stunned" when he saw it, bought it from Vlaminck and in turn showed it to Picasso and Matisse, who were also greatly affected by it. Ambroise Vollard then borrowed it and had it cast in bronze . . . The revolution of twentieth century art was under way!
Which statement best explains how African culture is presented in the two excerpts?
1 Conrad presents Africans as religious, while Willett suggests that they are incredibly artistic.
2 Conrad describes Africans in beautiful terms, while Willett uses language like “speechless” and stunned.”
3 Conrad says that Africans are wild and free, a view shared by Willett, Picasso, and Matisse.
4 Conrad describes Africans as savages, while Willett is impressed with their sophisticated cultures.
Answer:

Topic #3: Should random drug testing of athletes be allowed in
schools?
Key points to help you:
-Playing sports is a privilege, athletes should be help to higher
standards
-If you are under 18, almost all drugs are illegal!
-Does a drug test violate your privacy?
Answer:
Hope the following helps!
Explanation:
I think that although teenageers should have their freedom they should also be tested for drugs. Playing sports is a privilege for many people and if they are using it for the wrong reason they should should give their place to others. As one knows most drugs for kids under 18 are illegal therefore they should not be participating with any of them. I think that a drug test does not violate ones privacy because they do it for the kids own protection and health.

You will write an 800-1000 literacy analysis of a piece (or multiple pieces) from the Harlem Renaissance. You can use the poetry of Langston Hughes or Countee Cullen, or any other poets from the Harlem Renaissance era. For your literacy analysis, you need to pick one literary element found in the piece (or pieces), and discuss how it affects the work(s) as a whole
Answer:
The origins of the Harlem Renaissance lie in the Great Migration of the early 20th century, when hundreds of thousands of black people migrated from the South into dense urban areas that offered relatively more economic opportunities and cultural capital. It was, in the words of editor, journalist, and critic Alain Locke, “a spiritual coming of age” for African American artists and thinkers, who seized upon their “first chances for group expression and self-determination.” Harlem Renaissance poets such as Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, and Georgia Douglas Johnson explored the beauty and pain of black life and sought to define themselves and their community outside of white stereotypes.
Poetry from the Harlem Renaissance reflected a diversity of forms and subjects. Some poets, such as Claude McKay, used culturally European forms the sonnet was one melded with a radical message of resistance, as in “If We Must Die.” Others, including James Weldon Johnson and Langston Hughes, brought specifically black cultural creations into their work, infusing their poems with the rhythms of ragtime, jazz, and blues.

The monks who saw the " outside world for what it really was" would most likely agree with which statement? A. Never forget that the outside world is as important as the world you know B. Do not become trapped doing only what you have always done before C. Burgers should be considered sacred because of the vision we were shown D. It is important not to be easily persuaded by beautiful words
Answer:
B. Do not become trapped doing only what you have always done before.
Explanation:
The outside world seems to be really beautiful from inside but when someone goes out the he will realize the actual beauty is just an illusion. When monks goes out from their herds they are trapped by humans and then they are used for scientific experiments and other similar purposes.
Answer:
It is important not to be too easily persuaded by beautiful words.
Explanation:
The story explains that the monks already live in a place that was close to paradise. Then, a stranger shows up, speaking beautiful things about the world outside. Even though the monks are happy in paradise, many of them are persuaded to leave merely by the stranger's words. As it turns out, the real world is not as beautiful as they had all been hoping. Those monks that stay behind would likely agree that it is important not to be too easily persuaded by beautiful words, a common theme in literature.

Explanation:
A social scientist presents evidence to support his claim about how social media shapes political perceptions among voters.
Answer:
Social Media can negatively affect a person's way in which they feel about themselves - much less, someone or something else. Some people believe everything they read and they believe if it is on the internet then it must be true. Sometimes we try to compare ourselves to what we are reading about. We wonder if we look like this - we wonder if we should vote like this or that, based on what our friends and family say. There is so much propaganda and fake news out there, but people really believe it. Social Media can make you feel dissatisfied with yourself - or make you think that you have to be like others and think like others to be successful.
Explanation:
People should not always trust the press. Do not believe everything you read about politics and the world - they are saying what they think they want you to hear. They are trying to sway you with pretty pictures and good news. There are a lot of "falsehoods" about the politicians out there on the internet. I will admit that FB has attempted to get rid of some of the fake news, but in reality, who can you trust. You cannot trust FB. They are also going to give to you and your accounts what they want you to see and to think. Quit being a zombie and think for yourself. Use empirical evidence. This evidence - can be verified.
Provable :)
