The Overseer rode after her, hollerin. Sarah flew over the fences. She flew over the woods. Tall trees could not snag her. Nor could the Overseer. She flew like an eagle now.


What does the simile "She flew like an eagle" mean?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It means that she literally ran away from the supervisor, flying like a bird.

Explanation:

This question is about "The People Could Fly," which tells the story where a portion of African slaves taken by force to America managed to use their own bodies to fly. This made it possible for these slaves to escape the terrors of slavery, flying over fences and overgrowers who tried unsuccessfully to arrest them. In this case, the phrase "She flew like an eagle" means that the girl flew, like a bird, using her own body.

PUTTING GOOD DEEDS IN HEADLINES MAY NOT BE SO GOOD and what is the answer to guiding question number 1 and it's on commonlt

Answers

Answer:

The guiding question 1 of the article "Putting Good Deeds in Headlines May not be So Good", is

"What do the stories mentioned in the text have in common?"

Answer: Ordinary people went out of their way to help others.

Explanation:

"Putting Good Deeds in Headlines May not be So Good" is an article written by Tovia Smith. In her article, she explores the thought whether publicizing of good deeds is good or bad. She claims that people ought to do what they do as their duty and not as an extraordinary thing.

The stories shared by Smith in her articles share a commonality in the way they all went out of their way to help those in need. Under the rubric of "A Series of Good Deeds", Smith shares some of the 'good deeds' publicized by people and showing that how they went out of their way to help others.

Therefore, "Ordinary people went out of their way to help others" is the correct answer.

List three (3) interesting facts about life in totalitarian societies.

Answers

Answer:

1) A totalitarian leader tends to use propaganda campaigns spread by state-controlled mass media.

2) Totalitarianism is the most extreme kind of authoritarianism. In authoritarian governments, the state has a single power holder (individual dictator or political elite) that monopolizes political power. If not contested, provides society some degree of liberty. On the other hand, a totalitarian regime strives to control essentially all aspects of social life, like the economy, sciences, education, art, private matters, and social morals.  

3) The Economist has deemed China's social credit system as totalitarian because it is used to screen and classify its citizens according to their personal behavior.

Read the excerpt from Justice Curtis’s dissenting opinion, then answer the question that follows.

Slavery, being contrary to natural right, is created only by municipal law. This is not only plain in itself, and agreed by all writers on the subject, but is inferable from the Constitution, and has been explicitly declared by this court. The Constitution refers to slaves as “persons held to service in one State, under the laws thereof.” . . . .

. . . It was certainly understood by the Convention which framed the Constitution, and has been so understood ever since, that, under the power to regulate commerce, Congress could prohibit the importation of slaves; and the exercise of the power was restrained till 1808. A citizen of the United States owns slaves in Cuba, and brings them to the United States, where they are set free by the legislation of Congress. Does this legislation deprive him of his property without due process of law? If so, what becomes of the laws prohibiting the slave trade? If not, how can a similar regulation respecting a Territory violate the fifth amendment of the Constitution? . . . .

For these reasons, I am of opinion that so much of the several acts of Congress as prohibited slavery and involuntary servitude within that part of the Territory of Wisconsin . . . were constitutional and valid laws.

–Dissenting opinion on Dred Scott v. Sandford,
Justice Benjamin Curtis

Which evidence best supports Curtis’s opinion that Dred Scott should be free because he lived in a free territory? Check all that apply.

“The Constitution refers to slaves as ‘persons held to service in one State’”
“The Convention which framed the Constitution . . . has . . . the power to regulate commerce.”
“A citizen of the United States owns slaves in Cuba.”
“Does this legislation deprive him of his property without due process of law?”
“Acts of Congress as prohibited slavery and involuntary servitude within that part of the Territory of Wisconsin . . . were constitutional and valid laws.”

Explanation:

The em dash or long dash is one form of punctuation in grammar that has been confused and even mixed with the en dash, hyphen, etc. It has also been majorly replaced in its usage in a sentence by the comma, parenthesis, or even the semi-colon.

In the given sentence, the em dash will be used. This is so that the first part of the sentence "revised laws, just leaders, unwavering support" is the list of points that the sentence is trying to make. And the em dash will emphasize them while also separating them in the same manner.
