Plzzzzz help ASAP read the short story then the quick question plzzz



I fell in love with the minister's son the winter I
turned fourteen. He was not Chinese, but as white as Mary
in the manger. For Christmas I prayed for this blond-haired
boy, Robert, and a slim new American nose.


When I found out that my parents had invited the
minister's family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried. What
would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What
would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked
proper American manners? What terrible disappointment
would he feel upon seeing not a roasted turkey and sweet
potatoes but Chinese food?


On Christmas Eve I saw that my mother had outdone
herself in creating a strange menu. She was pulling black
veins out of the backs of fleshy prawns. The kitchen was
littered with appalling mounds of raw food: A slimy rock
cod with bulging eyes that pleaded not to be thrown into a
pan of hot oil. Tofu, which looked like stacked wedges of
rubbery white sponges. A bowl soaking dried fungus back to
life. A plate of squid, their backs crisscrossed with knife
markings so they resembled bicycle tires.



And then they arrived – the minister's family and all
my relatives in a clamor of doorbells and rumpled Christmas
packages. Robert grunted hello, and I pretended he was not
worthy of existence.


Dinner threw me deeper into despair. My relatives
licked the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the
table, dipping them into the dozen or so plates of food.
Robert and his family waited patiently for platters to be
passed to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when
my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert
grimaced. Then my father poked his chopsticks just below
the fish eye and plucked out the soft meat. "Amy, your
favorite," he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted
to disappear.


At the end of the meal my father leaned back and
belched loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking.
"It's a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied,"
explained my father to our astonished guests. Robert was
looking down at his plate with a reddened face. The minister
managed to muster up a quiet burp. I was stunned into
silence for the rest of the night.



After everyone had gone, my mother said to me,
"You want to be the same as American girls on the outside."
She handed me an early gift. It was a miniskirt in beige
tweed. "But inside you must always be Chinese. You must
be proud you are different. Your only shame is to have
Shame."


And even though I didn't agree with her then, I knew
that she understood how much I had suffered during the
evening's dinner. It wasn't until many years later – long after
I had gotten over my crush on Robert – that I was able to
fully appreciate her lesson and the true purpose behind our
particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen
all my favorite foods.

Read the excerpt from "Ellis Island."

For 62 years, some 12 million people passed through Ellis Island for the promise of a better life in America. They came on huge steamships, the majority from Eastern Europe and Italy, the rest from other corners of the world: Lebanon, Cyprus, China, Jamaica, and numerous other places. Many had left their homelands to escape poverty, while others had fled religious persecution or war.

You know you are fortunate to be on board. Now that the Continental Army is victorious,

Laws permitting, and even requiring, their separation in places where they are liable to be brought into contact do not necessarily imply the inferiority of either race to the other, and have been generally, if not universally, recognized as within the competency of the state legislatures in the exercise of their police power.


How does this relate to the premises of Brown v. Board of Education?

The Brown case addresses whether state legislatures are equipped to judge the quality of education offered at segregated schools.

The Brown case addresses whether authorities believe that one race is inferior to another when creating public schools.

The Brown case addresses whether these laws inherently deny certain citizens equal protection under the law.

The Brown case addresses the legality of using police power to monitor public places separated by race.

Read this excerpt from the passage.
"Only five minutes until showtime, people!" called Mrs. Kseniya to the crowd of students rushing around backstage.
"Great," Nancee muttered under her breath. "I only have a million things to do before then." Her friend Tremina patted her shoulder reassuringly.
"The costumes look great, Nan," Tremina told her. "After you finish hemming my skirt, everything will be perfect."
"Perfect? Hardly!" exclaimed Nancee. "It takes at least ten minutes for me to hem a skirt, and you are expected on the stage in five minutes."
"Three minutes," Sandomir corrected her as he raced past. He and Dmitry were attempting to assemble the backdrop before the curtain rose, and they both looked as stressed as Nancee felt.
"Forget it," Nancee said. "I'll just tape the hem on your skirt, and it will have to be good enough. I never should have agreed to design the costumes for this production."
"I'm worried about the show, too, but you don't hear me complaining," said Tremina. "It seems to me that your pessimism is more of a problem than our tight deadline." Nancee quickly taped the hem of the costume and thrust it at Tremina, who hurried to get dressed.
"Places, everyone," announced Mrs. Kseniya. Tremina began walking toward the stage when the heel of her shoe caught on the taped hem. She tripped and knocked over several of her fellow actors. One of the students fell forward into the backdrop, which then crashed to the floor. The curtain lifted at that moment, and the audience roared with laughter at the disastrous scene.
"Maybe I should change careers from actor to comedian," said Tremina as she enjoyed the sound of the audience's laughter.
"What a mess," Nancee moaned. "My career in show business is officially over."

How does this excerpt contribute to the theme of the passage?
"I'm worried about the show, too, but you don't hear me complaining," said Tremina. "It seems to me that your pessimism is more of a problem than our tight deadline."

A. It shows that tight deadlines prevent people from expressing their creativity.
B. It suggests that a person's attitude can rise above difficult circumstances.
C. It expresses the idea that a person's hard work will eventually be rewarded.
D. It shows that actors are better at handling stressful circumstances than others.

"We can't fight our way through this, Robinson. We've got no army. There's virtually nobody on our side. No owners, no umpires, very few newspapermen. And I'm afraid that many fans will be hostile. We'll be in a tough position. We can win only if we can convince the world that I'm doing this because you're a great ballplayer and a fine gentleman."

—I Never Had It Made,
Jackie Robinson, as told to Alfred Duckett

It will be hard to earn respect for Robinson, both on and off the field.
He thinks some fans will support Robinson, but only if he proves that he is a great ballplayer.
Robinson is strong enough for the job, but he is not a great ball player.
Robinson does not know how to talk to newspapermen, but Rickey does.

"On Twitter, Fake News Has Greater Allure Than Truth Does" suggests that the spread of fake news is

difficult to combat through social media.

Which statement from the article serves as a sound basis for this analysis?

On Twitter, Fake News Has Greater Allure Than Truth Does

So fake news could not be blamed just on bots, Roy's group concluded. Instead, people

are the main culprits in retweeting fake news.

One approach might be for social media platforms to discourage people from spreading

rumors. (Paul Resnick] says.

Flagging potentially false headlines or news sites only works a little it found. Sometimes

the tactic could even backfire.

That approach might have more impact than simply booting off bots that behave badly
