Review the definitions of similes and metaphors. Then try your hand at writing two of each. Start by
thinking of the two things you want to compare, and then write each type of figurative language. How
do these comparisons help describe what you're writing about? Keep your journal or computer
nearby. As you read, ask yourself these questions, and write the answers in your journal: (1) What do
I notice most in the poem? (2) What do I like most? Least? (3) What questions do I have? (4) What
pictures come to mind from the words the author (poet) uses?

Answer:

reduce the power of the African-American vote

Explanation:

In the late nineteenth century, southern Democrats redrew the boundaries of congressional districts to "reduce the power of the African-American vote."

This process is often referred to as Gerrymandering. It is one of the many means by which the Southern Democrats used to disenfranchise or reduce the power of the African-American vote.

Other methods used were poll taxes, literacy tests, grandfather clause, etc.

Answer:

The 1950s is often viewed as a period of conformity, when both men and women observed strict gender roles and complied with society’s expectations. After the devastation of the Great Depression and World War II, many Americans sought to build a peaceful and prosperous society. However, even though certain gender roles and norms were socially enforced, the 1950s was not as conformist as is sometimes portrayed, and discontent with the status quo bubbled just beneath the surface of the placid peacetime society. Although women were expected to identify primarily as wives and mothers and to eschew work outside of the home, women continued to make up a significant proportion of the postwar labor force. Moreover, the 1950s witnessed significant changes in patterns of sexual behavior, which would ultimately lead to the “sexual revolution” of the 1960s.

Answer:

Explanation:

You had to live through it to understand it.

WWII had just ended. A lot of vets were turned loose. They wanted homes. They wanted children. The wanted peace. They most of all, did not want to fight in another war.  The entertainment turned very light. The heavy thinking was just not the order of the day. So you got conformity, because the vets were used to discipline.

But you also got Elvis who was away ahead of his time (much as I hate to say it). He revolutionized popular music, by bringing black music to the white community. You also got the Beat Generation who rebelled against staid America. Search Jack Kerouac and Alan Ginsburg.

For a better picture, if you live somewhere where there is a large library, try and get The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit. It reflects the values of the 1950s just about as well as anything and it has a terrific cast. That's one film that did think.

Answer:

Federalism is the system of government in which sovereignty is constitutionally divided between a central governing authority and constituent political units. It is based upon democratic rules and institutions in which the power to govern is shared between national and state governments, creating a federation. Dual federalism is a political arrangement in which power is divided between national and state governments in clearly defined terms, with state governments exercising those powers accorded to them without interference from the national government. Dual federalism is defined in contrast to cooperative federalism, in which national and state governments collaborate on policy. Dual and cooperative federalism are also known as ‘layer-cake’ and ‘marble cake’ federalism, respectively, due to the distinct layers of layer cake and the more muddled appearance of marble cake.

Federalism was the most influential political movement arising out of discontent with the Articles of Confederation, which focused on limiting the authority of the federal government. The movement was greatly strengthened by the reaction to Shays’ Rebellion of 1786-1787, which was an armed uprising of farmers in western Massachusetts. The rebellion was fueled by a poor economy that was created, in part, by the inability of the federal government to deal effectively with the debt from the American Revolution. Moreover, the federal government had proven incapable of raising an army to quell the rebellion, so Massachusetts was forced to raise its own.

The most forceful defense of the new Constitution was The Federalist Papers , a compilation of 85 anonymous essays published in New York City to convince the people of the state to vote for ratification. These articles, written by Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, examined the benefits of the new Constitution and analyzed the political theory and function behind the various articles of the Constitution. Those opposed to the new Constitution became known as the Anti-Federalists. They were generally local, rather than cosmopolitan, in perspective, oriented toward plantations and farms rather than commerce or finance, and wanted strong state governments with a weaker national government. The Anti-Federalists believed that the legislative branch had too much unchecked power, that the executive branch had too much power, and that there was no check on the chief executive. They also believed that a Bill of Rights should be coupled with the Constitution to prevent a dictator from exploiting citizens. The Federalists argued that it was impossible to list all the rights and that those not listed could be easily overlooked because they were not in the official bill of rights.

The Transformation of the World

Try to imagine what your life would be like without any machines working for you. Make a list of the machines in your household and on your person; you may arrive at a surprising number.

Now imagine earlier generations during their childhood years. How did they move from place to place? How did they communicate? What foods did they eat?

At one time, humans, fueled by the animals and plants they ate and the wood they burned, or aided by their domesticated animals, provided most of the energy in use. Windmills and waterwheels captured some extra energy, but there was little in reserve. All life operated within the fairly immediate flow of energy from the Sun to Earth.

Everything changed during the Industrial Revolution, which began around 1750. People found an extra source of energy with an incredible capacity for work. That source was fossil fuels — coal, oil, and natural gas, though coal led the way — formed underground from the remains of plants and animals from much earlier geologic times. When these fuels were burned, they released energy, originally from the Sun, that had been stored for hundreds of millions of years.

Coal was formed when huge trees from the Carboniferous period (345– 280 million years ago) fell and were covered with water, so that oxygen and bacteria could not decay them. Instead, the pressure of the weight of materials above them compressed them into dark, carbonic, ignitable rock.

Most of the Earth’s oil and gas formed over a hundred million years ago from tiny animal skeletons and plant matter that fell to the bottom of seas or were buried in sediment. This organic matter was compacted by the weight of water and soil. Coal, oil, and gas, despite their relative abundance, are not evenly distributed on Earth; some places have much more than others, due to geographic factors and the diverse ecosystems that existed long ago.

Early Steam Engines

The story of the Industrial Revolution begins on the small island of Great Britain. By the early 18th century, people there had used up most of their trees for building houses and ships and for cooking and heating. In their search for something else to burn, they turned to the hunks of black stone (coal) that they found near the surface of the earth. Soon they were digging deeper to mine it. Their coal mines filled with water that needed to be removed; horses pulling up bucketfuls proved slow going.

Answer:

the process of change from an agrarian and handicraft economy to one dominated by industry and machine manufacturing. This process began in Britain in the 18th century and from there spread to other parts of the world. Although used earlier by French writers, the term Industrial Revolution was first popularized by the English economic historian Arnold Toynbee (1852–83) to describe Britain’s economic development from 1760 to 1840. Since Toynbee’s time the term has been more broadly applied.

Explanation:

Simply yes

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

International rivalries affected Europe's colonization of Africa in that they split the African territory, divided towns, displaced people, and created new borders because these powerful European nations wanted to colonize Africa and exploit their raw materials and natural resources.

The Scramble for Africa refers to European nations wanting the biggest and richest colonies in Africa.

After the Berlin Conference of 1844-1845, European superpowers agreed on regulating the split of the African Continent. These European superpowers such as France, Germany, Great Britain, Spain, and Portugal split the African territory, displaced people, and created new borders in order to colonize the territories.

What Europeans really wanted was to exploit the many raw materials and natural resources that were abundant in Africa, in order to make big profits.

Wealth among European working classes

Explanation:

Wealth among European working classes "grew during the New Imperialism."

This is because the New Imperialism is characterized by the many European nations colonizing the smaller territories such that they brought some of their working-class personnel to the colonized nations to work and earn more money, thereby getting more wealth.

They also took some of the colonized natural resources to their nation at cheaper rates, thereby enriching their nations and its economy.

Answer:

B.  Mary Surratt was the first women to be executed in The United States.

Explanation:

Answer:

The Federalists wanted a strong government and strong executive branch, while the anti-Federalists wanted a weaker central government. The Federalists did not want a bill of rights —they thought the new constitution was sufficient. The anti-federalists demanded a bill of rights.

Explanation:

The anti-Federalists and their opposition to ratifying the Constitution were a powerful force in the origin of the Bill of Rights to protect Amercians' civil liberties. The anti-Federalists were chiefly concerned with too much power invested in the national government at the expense of states.

    In class societies, people are sorted into hierarchical social categories, such as class, using concepts in the social sciences and political theory centered on models of social stratification. People have typically divided into three distinct social classes: the upper class, the middle class, and the lower class.

    When the upper and middle-class live in urban regions, they become oblivious to the lives of people from the lower classes.

    On top of that, you will find that middle and upper-class citizens tend to misuse their rights, as they believe in the power of money. As a result, there is an increase in social inequality and animosity among the population.

    For the rich and upper-middle-class, their attitude changes and they begin to be proud of their lives and look down on others, thus contributing to greater levels of societal hunger and division.

Social classes impede social development.

    Education Children grow with the notion of school division in which upper-class and middle-class children attend private schools, and lower-class students attend public schools that have lessened infrastructure and administration.

    Even from class differences, those in the upper and middle classes are more likely to have more freedom in their job pursuits, while those in the lower class feel neglected in society and as a result have lowered morale to their full potential.

    People in the lower socioeconomic brackets tend to experience higher rates of diseases caused by many of their co-workers working in unhealthy environments, and as a result, they are prone to poor health. Poor medical attention is sought by the bottom while upper and middle-class individuals are able to take care of their health.

    On the lower end of the socioeconomic ladder, people are affected by stress and financial pressure, which increases the risk of mental illness. Middle and upper-class individuals, on the other hand, are more fortunate and less stressed, which keeps the risk of mental illness low. This increased crime as a result.

Explanation:

Remember, a union is an organized association of workers formed to protect their own interests. So the only answer that would make sense would be D.
