Commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1754, he fought the first skirmishes of what grew into the French and Indian War. The next year, as an aide to Gen. Edward Braddock, he escaped injury although four bullets ripped his coat and two horses were shot from under him. Which detail is the most relevant as support for the central idea of this excerpt?
A.Washington escaped injury when four bullets ripped his coat.

The central idea which one of them is George Wasington military arts was supported by him escaping injury when shot at during his work as an Aide to a General.
What has Maria been asked to do?
B.retell
Maria was asked to retell the story she read which would be done in her own choice of words.
Explanation:
Answer:
B. Washington was commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1754.
A. paraphrase
Explanation:
In this excerpt, the author discusses the early life and accomplishments of George Washington. We learn that Washington pursued interests that related well to his military career. We also learn that he was able to experience the French and Indian War, and was even at danger of dying in it. This experience would not have been possible without his being commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1754. Therefore, this is the most relevant detail in this excerpt.
In this example, Maria has to explain the details and information that she read in an article. However, she is asked to do so in her own words. This is known as paraphrasing. When we paraphrase, we convey a particular idea by using our own words, as opposed to those of the author. This helps the reader show how well he understands the subject at hand.

I need help with this as soon as possible! Identify the 5 elements of tragedy and evaluate their use in the play Antigone. Your answer should be between 150+ words.
Look at the attached image.
Answer:
The tragic elements of Antigone are Hamartia, Hubris, Peripeteia, Anagnorisis, Nemesis, and Catharsis.
Aristotle termed Hamartia to tell about the tragic flaw which the protagonist must undergo. This occurs in the hero’s life because of an error in judgment. Often this happens unknowingly. Antigone wants to be a martyr as she presumes that she knows about God’s will. Hence, her actions are seen directly contradicting Creon’s orders.
Hubris refers to the condition when the hero falls into the extreme level of pride and ambition when he finds himself to be greater and mightier than God. As a result, he starts to offend and challenge God, which becomes a reason for his downfall. Antigone resists the orders and laws made by Creon who was the King. She sets herself above the laws and orders of the king which becomes the reason for her downfall.
Peripeteia is the reversal of fortune which the hero undergoes. The reversal happens as the result of the change of fortune. This shift turns the life of the hero from good to bad because of Hamartia or the error of judgment. Tiresias convinces Creon to set Antigone free. This results in a reversal in the life of Antigone.
Anagnorisis is that point in a tragedy when the hero or the protagonist becomes aware of his/her or others’ real identity. The recognition or discovery of reality changes the way the hero investigates life. The audience knows very well what Antigone is unaware of. She is unaware of the fact that Creon was on his way to pardon her and set her free.
Nemesis is that point in the tragedy when an agent occurs in the hero’s life which becomes inescapable for him. this brings a punishment or a serious harm to the life of the hero. Before the arrival of Creon, Antigone hangs herself and dies.
Catharsis is that state which evokes the feelings of pity and fear among the audience. The audience feels pity at the end when the characters’ life ends in distress. This feeling is the product of the above all tragic flaws which reoccur in the plot. At the same time, they feel fear from the higher authorities and the outcomes which would result if they don’t follow the orders and law. The audience gets to know that Antigone, Haemon, and the queen all died at the end of the play because of Antigone’s righteous pride. This brings the feeling of pity from the audience. The feeling of fear lingers in the audience' mind too. They feel terrified to think of the results of disobeying the higher authorities in real.

Answer:
D. It was written in 2001, and that makes the research dated
Explanation:
It is unclear which of the options is correct because the website cited is unavailable.
However, when carrying out secondary research like Lennox, there are certain rules to follow in selecting sources to cite. Citing wrong sources may cause your research to lose credibility.
Cite reliable sources: There are journals that publish peer-reviewed research articles. These are most likely to contain reliable sources of information, and as such, can be cited.There are scientific organizations that carry out very extensive research and development. Examples are: Institute of Health of various nations, the Center for Disease Control, the World Health Organization, the Bureau of Statistics of various countries, the World Bank, etc are very reliable sources. UTube Videos, blogs, non-educational sources are not good sources to cite from. Some reliable sources such as those mentioned above may have videos on UTube. It is important to check the sources thoroughly.2. Cite Primary Sources
Primary sources are organizations that consistently carry out their own research. Goods examples are the World Bank, websites with .edu extension, etc. Websites like Wikipedia that collect information from non-primary and unreviewed sources are not good examples to cite from.
3. Cite Up-to-date sources
It is unadvisable to cite sources that are too old. The older the source the less reliable it is.
Conclusively, we can tell from the above which source should be cited from or not.

Using evidence and logic construct a reasoned ethical argument in support of equal pay regardless of gender
Answer:
Regardless of a persons gender they should be able to earn equal pay.
Explanation:
If we take a look at one of the oldest documents in the world it says, "All men are created equal". At that point in time it refereed to men with status, men with property, and men who where white. However, understanding the fact that many women like Rosa Parks,Amelia Earhart, and Mae C. Jemison fought for their ability to have a say and do what they dreamed. Men are given the opportunities because they were born with it. It is unfair that simply because your a man you get paid more. However, Women earn everything they get.... they fight for what they want and they put both their heart and sole into their jobs into there families and into their dreams. Men and WoMEN should be given equal pay regardless of their gender but by the way they try everyday and the way they give their all in their jobs.

The main characters in realistic fiction are usually dynamic; they undergo change and grow according to their experiences. Louise Mallard from Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” is an example of a dynamic character. Which of the following excerpts from Chopin’s story highlight the transformation that Louise undergoes?
Answer:
Louise Mallard is a dynamic character. Although the story takes place in the duration of just an hour, she undergoes significant character changes and growth. We see her transform from a heartbroken and grieving widow to a self-aware woman with a profound sense of independence and identity.
Chopin develops Louise’s character primarily through internal thoughts. She gives us a vivid picture of Louise’s psyche—all her thoughts and feelings are laid bare. Chopin’s description of Louise’s internal thoughts also gives us a hint of what lies behind the character’s motivations.

“For Yom Ha’Shoah” by Sonia Weitz
Come, take this giant leap with me
into the other world . . . the other place
where language fails and imagery defies,
denies man’s consciousness . . . and dies
upon the altar of insanity.
Come, take this giant leap with me
into the other world . . . the other place
and trace the eclipse of humanity . . .
where children burned while mankind stood by
and the universe has yet to learn why
. . . has yet to learn why.
Connection Questions:
What does this poem mean to you? What questions does it raise for you?
Sonia Weitz has been called “a survivor with a poet’s eye.” How can poetry deepen one’s study of the Holocaust? What can we learn from poetry that more traditional historical accounts might not capture?
Re-read the poem and highlight the verbs Weitz uses. How do the verbs help to intensify her description of “the other world”?
Do you think that Weitz believes it is possible to understand the horrors of the Holocaust? What can we gain by studying the brutality of the Holocaust?
Answer:
“For Yom Ha’Shoah” by Sonia Weitz
a) This poem means that the holocaust was the most terrible human tragedy. It was an unnecessary suffering that any human being could inflict on a fellow being, no matter the provocation. It was uncalled for.
b) It raises the question of human conscience. Those who perpetrated or aided in the perpetration of the holocaust, just like the Rwandan genocide, can they be considered as human beings.
c) Poetry can deepen one's study of the Holocaust as it emotionally and graphically depicts the helplessness and sufferings that was the lot of the perceived enemies while the other looked unconcerned. For example, see how she wrote: "... and trace the eclipse of humanity ... where children burned while mankind stood by ..." This experience should move any soul to pity. For me, the Holocaust was regrettable.
d) Unlike other traditional historical accounts like fiction and prose, poetry credibly shows that the events mentioned were real and not just imagined. Poetry utilizes aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language, e.g. phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre, to evoke meanings in addition to the ostensible meaning. Were this poem written in fiction or prose form, there would be questions to its narration accuracy. The writer is not trying for the audience to identify with the specific characters, since they are universalized, but she is evoking your emotional reaction to the events that took place in a period of time and at a known place.
e1) Verbs used by Weitz included: come, take, fails, defies, denies, dies, trace, burned, stood, and has to learn.
e2) The verbs offered an invitation to witness or imagine what really happened in the other world. This means that something horrible actually took place in "the other world." For example, "Come, take this leap with me into ... They narrated that words failed to restrain an outrageous genocide inflicted on a particular people. Man's consciousness was denied. Man's consciousness died out of insanity. To "trace the eclipse of humanity ..." is an invitation for records to be documented of how humanity failed humanity just because of racial distinctions, bitterness, and unforgiving spirit. There is also a futuristic outlook depicted by the verbs, especially "the universe has yet to learn why ..."
f) Weitz does not believe that it is possible to understand the horrors of the Holocaust. It is only those who conscience had been stolen by the devil that can understand and explain the horrors.
g) Studying the brutality of the Holocaust shows that humanity had yet to civilize. Humanity has yet to believe in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ prayed to the Father, "Forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Humanity is still bent on brutalizing those who are not like them, those who offer different opinions, those whose skin color are not similar to ours, those whose diction are different from us, etc. History continues to repeat itself every time. But, if you examine the facts closely, we are one, from the same parents, Adam and Eve, according to the Christian scriptures. We are brothers and sisters! When we kill one of us, we kill ourselves gradually, diminishing ourselves.
Explanation:
a) “For Yom Ha’Shoah” is a poem written by Sonia Weitz, a child-holocaust survivor. “For Yom Ha’Shoah” means "For the Day of Holocaust Remembrance."
Answer:
Connection Questions:
This poem serves as a soul searching experience.It raises the question of the morality of mankind.Poetry can deepen one's study of the Holocaust by exposing the evil done during the Holocaust and describing how helpless the children who were burned were.What we can learn from poetry that traditional history might not capture is the mood, emotions and perspective of events that occurred in times past that is unique to poetry.Verbs used in the poems
"..take this giant leap with me..."
"...trace the eclipse of humanity . . .
where children burned while mankind stood by
and the universe has yet to learn why ..."
The verbs help to intensify the description of "the other world" by describing how children were burned and humanity was helpless to stop it.
I believe that Weitz believes it possible to try and understand the horrors of the Holocaust through description in the poem but not to fully understand or grasp the realities of the horrors that people faced during the Holocaust.
We can gain knowledge about what happened during the Holocaust so we cannot repeat the horrors that was done in the past.

Where Do You Work? When Kids Had Adult Jobs
Imagine dragging yourself out of bed on a cold, dark morning before the sun has even risen. You dress quickly because you’re running late. But instead of a day filled with schoolwork, soccer practice, and a few chores around the house, you head over to the town’s mill where you will spend the next 10 to 12 hours. That’s what life was like for about 18 percent of American children ages 10 to 15 in the early twentieth century. Instead of going to school, they went to work.
Before the Industrial Revolution
From the early days of America until the late 1930s, there were few laws protecting children from work. In colonial times, children often worked alongside their parents. Girls worked with their mothers cooking, sewing, gardening, and milking cows. Boys worked on their fathers’ farms or in their shops. Boys from the ages of 10 to 14 often became apprentices. They worked under the care and direction of master craftsmen. In both farming and apprenticeships, children learned the skills of a job from beginning to end. Those in apprenticeships not only learned a trade from their masters, they were also taught basic arithmetic and how to read and write. Plus, they were given a place to live and a wage.
From Farms to Factories
By the time of the Civil War in the 1860s, however, the apprenticeship system had fallen by the wayside. The country was becoming more industrialized. Children worked to help support their families. Children were often hired to work in factories because factory owners found children easy to manage. They could be paid less than adults and were less likely to go on strike. An added benefit was their small size: children could easily move in tight spaces around machinery.
Factory workers, including children, generally learned one repetitive job. This made training fast and easy. Despite their age, children often worked in hazardous conditions. They worked in cotton mills in New England and in the South. The windows of the mills were kept shut to keep the cotton moist and warm so it wouldn’t break. Child workers would be covered in cotton lint that would fill their lungs. Towns grew around the mills. Families lived in houses owned by the mills. The mills provided a school. But the children usually didn’t have time to attend. A study done in the early twentieth century revealed that half the children under age 14 could not read or write.
In the early 1900s, children also worked in glass factories, canneries, cranberry bogs, and sugar beet fields. They went to work in the mines in Pennsylvania or West Virginia as a “breaker boy.” Breaker boys sat crouched over a coal chute. Their job was to pick out pieces of slate and rock as the coal rushed past them. The air was thick with coal dust, and many of the boys suffered from respiratory illnesses because of it. They earned 60 cents for a 10-hour shift of backbreaking work.
Champions for Change
Fortunately, some concerned citizens decided to stand up against child labor and to address the problems it created. In 1904, a group of reformers founded the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) to abolish child labor. This committee hired investigators to gather evidence for their cause. One person they hired was Lewis Wickes Hine. Hine was a former teacher and photographer. He took pictures of children wherever they worked.
From 1908 to 1912, Hine snapped pictures of children at work. He would hide his camera and trick factory bosses into letting him get inside. Hine wrote notes on a pad hidden inside his pocket. He wanted to accurately describe what he saw without being caught. His photographs showed children working in coal mines, sweatshops, and mills and on farms. When many of Hine’s photographs were published, the public was shocked. People were finally motivated to address the issue of child labor.
Soon many states passed laws protecting children in the workplace. But despite these laws, children still worked hard. The NCLC pushed for a federal law for child workers. In 1916 and 1918, laws were passed. But those laws were overturned by the Supreme Court as being unconstitutional. In 1924, Congress passed an amendment to the Constitution. But not enough states ratified it, so it didn’t become law. In 1938, the Fair Labor Standards Act was passed. It set a national minimum wage and maximum hours to be worked in a day. More important, it set limitations on child labor.
Today, children are protected by child labor laws. The federal government has set the minimum working age at 14 for jobs other than babysitting or delivering newspapers. In some states the minimum working age may be higher. Children’s lives are much easier today than they were more than a century ago.
