Answer:
He includes this anecdote to show how his experiences with poverty and hunger were influential in creating the person he became.
Explanation:
The excerpt presented above is part of the book “Hunger” written by Richard Wright, where he tells his own experiences as a poor black youth in Chicago. The poverty in which Wright lived was so intense, that he needed to show how he and his family came to have nothing to eat, making him sick with hunger, as we can see in the excerpt above. This moment was very influential and impactful in Wright's life. Even as the family's financial situation changed, Wright can remember how that moment was able to shape his life, build his personality, and influence the creation of the adult he grew up with. For that reason, he decided to feature this moment in the book.

PLIGHT OF THE POOR AND NEEDY IN DETROIT AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Dear Sir,
It is no secret that the city if Detroit had one of the highest numbers of poor, homeless and unemployed population in America and the number keeps increasing everyday.
I've met with a few of these people and they live in shelters, park benches, anywhere they can lay their head and anywhere they can find food, at great personal risk of bodily harm and assault.
I believe that one of the ways of solving this problem is to build more shelters and encourage the poor and needy to learn a skill that can be self sufficient to them.
Another way of solving this problem is to educate them on the need for family planning, risk assessment and management and other important life skills that would enable them not to fall into the same problem when their skills starts to help pay the bills.
Thank you for your time and anticipated response.
You're faithfully,
John Kent.

Perhaps, this would have saved me a whole lot of trouble if I could have taken Alex at face value the first time I saw him, but not me. I made friends with a gang member with tats and guns, and over time, we got so close and hung out frequently on weekends.
Soon, I began to become uncomfortable and wanted to end the friendship before I got into serious trouble as a result of Alex's debauchery.
Trouble soon found me one evening out together as a rival gang member did a drive by on Alex as we were exiting a bar one evening. Alex escaped, but I caught a bullet on my leg and my leg was amputated and I regretted for the rest of my life.
Indeed it is terrible to befriend a bad person.

In Romeo and Juliet, if Romeo were Paris and not a Montague, would Juliet still love him? Why or why not? How big a part does "forbidden love" play in their attraction? How can you tell? Answer in at least three complete sentences
Answer and Explanation:
Juliet would still love Romeo, regardless of his last name and the family he belongs to. We can see this, because Juliet herself claims that the name Romeo is meaningless to her, because with any name he would still be the Romeo she fell in love with. Juliet claims this soon after learning that Romeo is a Montague, when she was already in love. The role of "forbidden love" in Juliet's attraction to Romeo is small, as Juliet falls in love with Romeo before learning that their family were enemies and would never allow them to be together. You may know this from the speech Juliet makes on her bedroom balcony when she declares her love for Romeo.
It is important to remember that "Romeo and Juliet" is a play written by Shakespeare. In this story, we get to know the tragic romance lived by Romeo and Juliet and learn how petty intrigues can have horrible results.
In the first paragraph, the narrator says, " [The Hydrophobic Skunk] is so rare that nobody ever saw him--that is, nobody except a native. " Why is it that only natives have ever seen the hydrophobic Skunk? Use evidence from the text to support your answer.
Answer:
Only natives have ever seen the hydrophobic skunk because it is probably just a myth.
Explanation:
Irvin S. Cobb (1876-1944) was an American humorist and author. The story "The Hydrophobic Skunk" is filled with sarcasm and wit.
Right from the beginning, we are told that no one has ever seen a hydrophobic skunk. That is, no one except the natives who live around the Grand Canyon. However, the way the narrator describes it makes it seem that it is all a lie, a legend:
"I met plenty of tourists who had seen people who had see him, but never a tourist who had seen him with his own eyes."
This is clearly not just a rare animal, for rare animals are seen by someone. This is a mythical creature, a figment of someone's imagination, since no one ever sees it. They claim to know someone who has seen it, but nobody ever claims to have seen it themselves.

What is ethos?Ethos is a Greek word meaning "character" that is used to describe the guiding beliefs or ideals that characterize a community, nation, or ideology; and the balance between caution, and passion.
The Greeks also used this word to refer to the power of music to influence emotions, behaviors, and even morals. Early Greek stories of Orpheus exhibit this idea in a compelling way. The word's use in rhetoric is closely based on the Greek terminology used by Aristotle in his concept of the three artistic proofs or modes of persuasion. It gives credit to the speaker, or the speaker is taking credit. In modern usage, ethos denotes the disposition, character, or fundamental values peculiar to a specific person, people, corporation, culture, or movement.
For example, the poet and critic T. S. Eliot wrote in 1940 that "the general ethos of the people they have to govern determines the behavior of politicians.

Humans can change from beggars to soldiers.
Answer:
Humans are under the gods' control.
Explanation:
Hello. You have not shown the excerpt to which the question refers and this makes it impossible for it to be answered.
However, when searching for your question on the internet, I could find another question just like yours, which showed the excerpt in which Odysseus informed how the goddess Athena turned him into a beggar after he returned to his island, but that she can transform it into a noble again, when appropriate. In this excerpt, he asserts that the gods have the ability not only to disguise men, but to humiliate and exalt them as well. This shows the reader how the gods are able to control human beings and use them in whatever way they see fit.
It is important to point out that Odysseus is a character in "Odyssey", a book written by Hoomer, which tells the story of how the king of Itáca, Odysseus, managed to return home after spending 20 years abroad.

The poem thus implicitly argues against some religious poets who describe love as a sinful or unholy act.

It is an old and a true maxim "that a drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall." So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend.

The night ignites and I see myself stand firm to come to a firm decision, we’re in an endless stream of choices. I run and run, but don’t find a way through. A dark song plays inside my mind, it’s such a haunting melody. The sweet corrupting reality comes through like a vision of some sort and opens my mind. There is a choir of haunting voices tormenting my mind, I know I must execute a plan, but which? Do I breathe the name of my lover in my hour of need? And, taste the past if the flavor should remind me of my resentment? I run for after no disaster, hope to never fall.
But, without him, my body feels like a tin can that has rust. Can you feed my love? It dances underneath the dark. Without my lover, my life feels like my world is nothing but a world of rust. Can you feed the yearning within me? Because without him I feel that beneath the skies so blue there is no purpose in life, everything is tattered and fallen apart. Don’t walk away, don’t walk away when my world is burning, don’t dare call me mad for I’m not mad; just give me some time to recover from my wounds. For everything dies, the fire and the human soul must die at some point.
Explination: This paragraph disguised in beautiful imagery is very personal. It’s about the time my bf wanted to take a break from our relationship. However, he repented and came back.
At the pit of night I took a firm decision, a stand to come to a decision. There are endless options of what I could have done. Forgive, not forgive or me leave and let him have his break. But, no matter how much I ran in this life I just couldn’t make up my mind. The “dark song” represents resentment. The “choir of haunting voices” is frustration, and I know I must make a decision, but which?
Later, in the 2nd paragraph I state “But, without him, my body feels like a tin can that has rust” meaning that my whole soul is burdened, time stops when he’s not with me, I’m not the same anymore. Now, speaking to the audience I say: “Can you feed my love?” as in: “Is there someone out there who can make me feel the same as this man made me feel?“. Later on I add: “Don’t dare call me mad for I’m not mad; just give me some time to recover from my wounds. For everything dies, the fire and the human soul must die at some point.” Mad here states to the state of being angry. My resolution to the problem is to give myself some time to heal my wounds for just as resentment dies so does fire and the human soul.
