Which point of view is most effective for communicating a personal experience in a narrative essay?
Answer:
First person point of view
Explanation:
The best answer will have to be "First person point of view." First person point of view is telling a story in the point of view of the main character using words like me, I, I've, etc. Narrative essays are essays use to narrate or to give account of a story.

Hope this helps.
Answer:

Explanation:
It is first person since it is what you had experienced, and therefore you can explain what is best, and assuming you have empathy, or human emotions, you can better relate stories and what not to your audience. You can also convey it more in a conversational style which makes it more comfortable for the reader, and you can add bias.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
Sugar was the connection, the tie, between slavery and freedom. In order to create sugar, Europeans and colonists in the Americas destroyed Africans, turned them into objects. Just at that very same moment, Europeans—at home and across the Atlantic—decided that they could no longer stand being objects themselves. They each needed to vote, to speak out, to challenge the rules of crowned kings and royal princes. How could that be? Why did people keep speaking of equality while profiting from slaves? In fact, the global hunger for slave-grown sugar led directly to the end of slavery. Following the strand of sugar and slavery leads directly into the tumult of the Age of Revolutions. For in North America, then England, France, Haiti, and once again North America, the Age of Sugar brought about the great, final clash between freedom and slavery.
Which sentence best states the authors' claim in this passage?
A: Economic demand for sugar led to political pressure to end enslavement.
B: The growing demand for sugar made the lives of enslaved people even worse.
C: Turning Africans into objects was important for the sugar industry to succeed.
D: Monarchies became increasingly strong and popular during the Age of Sugar.

What is the significance of the march? Why did it mean so much to Quinn, Rashad, and Spoony? How about the rest of the characters? Why do people protest? Do you think protests are effective in voicing a cause? Can they institute change?
The march signifies the people's revolt against police violence against African Americans. It means a lot to Quinn, Rashad, and Spoony because they are African Americans.
Similarly, this matters to the other characters because they feel they might be the next victims.
Protests are effective in expressing a cause, as they present a group of people rejecting the same social element that causes negative situations for them. This popular pressure can institute changes, especially in democratic governments.
What is a democratic government?It is a political system where the population has supreme power.It is a political system where the government must comply with the will of the people.Therefore, protests such as the one Quinn, Rashad, and Spoony participated, in must be capable of provoking social change, as they show how a part of the people, which has all political power, is being harmed by negligence, racism, and intolerance.

What is one of the four freedoms that Roosevelt identifies in his Four Freedoms speech?
• A. Freedom to bear arms
• B. Freedom of education
• C. Freedom from want
•D. Freedom from tyranny
Answer:
C freedom from want
Answer: C. Freedom from want
Explanation:
"Roosevelt delivered his speech 11 months before the surprise Japanese attack on U.S. forces in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and the Philippines that caused the United States to declare war on Japan, December 8, 1941. The State of the Union speech before Congress was largely about the national security of the United States and the threat to other democracies from world war that was being waged across the continents in the eastern hemisphere. In the speech, he made a break with the long-held tradition of United States non-interventionism. He outlined the U.S. role in helping allies already engaged in warfare.
In that context, he summarized the values of democracy behind the bipartisan consensus on international involvement that existed at the time. A famous quote from the speech prefaces those values: "As men do not live by bread alone, they do not fight by armaments alone." In the second half of the speech, he lists the benefits of democracy, which include economic opportunity, employment, social security, and the promise of "adequate health care". The first two freedoms, of speech and religion, are protected by the First Amendment in the United States Constitution. His inclusion of the latter two freedoms went beyond the traditional Constitutional values protected by the U.S. Bill of Rights. Roosevelt endorsed a broader human right to economic security and anticipated what would become known decades later as the "human security" paradigm in social science and economic development. He also included the "freedom from fear" against national aggression and took it to the new United Nations he was setting up."-wikipedia
