Read the excerpt from The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street.

STEVE

(raising his voice)

There's something you can do, Charlie. You could go home and keep your mouth shut. You could quit strutting around like a self-appointed hanging judge and just climb into bed and forget it.

CHARLIE

You sound real anxious to have that happen, Steve. I think we better keep our eye on you too!

DON

(as if he were taking the bit in his teeth, takes a hesitant step to the front)

I think everything might as well come out now.

(he turns toward Steve.)

Your wife's done plenty of talking, Steve, about how odd you are!

CHARLIE

(picking this up, his eyes widening)

Go ahead, tell us what she's said.

58. LONG SHOT – STEVE 58.

As he walks toward them from across the street.

STEVE

Go ahead, what's my wife said? Let's get it all out. Let's pick out every idiosyncrasy of every single man, woman, and child on the street. And then we might as well set up some kind of a kangaroo court. How about a firing squad at dawn, Charlie, so we can get rid of all the suspects. Narrow them down. Make it easier for you.

DON

There's no need gettin' so upset, Steve. It's just that . . . well . . . Myra's talked about how there's been plenty of nights you spent hours down in your basement workin' on some kind of radio or something. Well, none of us have ever seen that radio—

How does Steve’s attempt to reason with his neighbors affect other elements of the story?

The neighbors calm down and go home for a while.
The neighbors become suspicious of him as well.
The neighbors elect Steve their leader.
The neighbors become a wild mob.

The old man tells Santiago that he often appears in people’s lives just at the moment they are about to give up on their destiny. What are some of the guises he takes

Answers

Answer: Manolin loves and respects Santiago and is worried about him.

Explanation: Ernest Hemingway's "The Old Man And The Sea" tells the story of how an old, experienced fisherman battled against sharks to keep his marlin safe, only to return home empty handed except for the bones. But his achievement was not unnoticed, for it was one of the greatest finds among all the fishermen in his village.

The final scene shows his return, at which the boy Manolin had been looking for him everyday, despite his own family's displeasure. And once Santiago returned, he took care of the tired and worn out man, bringing him food and clothes and taking care of anything that is needed. Even when going out to get coffee for the old man, he cried openly, "did not care that they saw him crying". And even after Santiago's admittance that he would no longer be fishing for he has bad luck, Manolin insists that "I’ll bring the luck with me". This shows his determination to be by the old fisherman's side, and how much he adored and respects the old man.

In the year 1539... Fray Marcos reported seeing golden cities... In 1540, the

-- adapted from Donald E. Chipman, "Seven Cities of Cibola," Handbook of Texas (Texas
State Historical Association)

What occurred as a result of the events described in the excerpt above?
A Spanish explorers used Native American guides to discover ancient cities of gold.
B Spain eventually abandoned the search for gold and began to establish missions.
C Spanish explorers found no gold and ceded the territory of Texas to France.
D French explorers discovered gold and were attacked by Spanish Conquistadors.

Answers

Answer:

B, Spain eventually abandoned the search for gold and began to establish missions.

Explanation:

Spanish explorers did use the guides but this was not after the exploration it was in the middle of it. D never happened because Coronados expedition never found gold or jewels. In 1769 the first mission from Spain was built in California and in 1632 Fort Angelo was built in Eastern Texas. From 1684-1689 Texas belonged to the French and Spain had Texas from 1690-1821. With this it looks like its B, Spain eventually abandoned the search for gold and began to establish missions. Maybe I am being too detailed oriented here but Spain did regain interest in Texas again because of the French so Spain never ceded Texas specifically to France they just abandoned it.

On a side note:

I never approached or even knew about this until you asked the question so I had to go to multiple sites and read all about Coronado's expedition and Spains history with France in Texas. Hopefully B is the correct answer but I believe but whats really confusing here is that if option C said "Spanish explorers found no gold and abandoned the territory of Texas leaving France to claim it." instead of "ceded to France" I would chosen C. I chose B based off of the fact that C is false from what I have read. Spain never ceded Texas to France they just abandoned it and after this Spain regained controls of Texas in 1690 and built missions from there on. Maybe your teacher did mean abandoned but him/ her using the word ceded specifically makes me think that choosing between B and C is very difficult because that was his intentions. I dont know how close to detail you should be looking at these questions so yeah I did what I could.

21.1 Industrial Revolution notes

Answers

This is some rough notes i took on the industrial revolution a few years back. Hope it helps.

The industrial revolution was the change of how things were going to be made and how they were going to be sold, or the change of human labor to machine labor.

The industrial revolution started after 1750 and started in England. Other places would industrialise in the mid 1800s. England had 6 reasons to be ahead of everyone else in industrialization. The had more money than anyone else, colonies, Raw Materials, Workers, Trade Markets, and geography. More than half of England's citizens were unemployed so there were plenty of workers for factories.

New sources of energy like steam,oil (gas and Kerosene),water, and Electricity.

Later advances would reveal atomic, wind, and solar energy.

Increased usage of aluminum, copper, iron, and steel.

Coal became the most important mineral.

Textiles were the first to industrialise and many agricultural improvements were made.

Better Ships, Trains, and automobiles were made that improved transportation.

New means of communication were made like the (telegraph).  .../ / /…= SOS

Telephones and radios were also made that improved communication.

Mass production starts and it makes more stuff faster than normal home businesses.

Urbanisation was people leaving rural, farming places into cities.

Capitalism is a free market economy.

Factory system replaced the domestic system.

Urbanization

The Industrial Revolution brought factories that made many new jobs for citizens. Most farmers were subsistence farmers and could only make enough food for themselves and could not make money. New jobes used wages to pay workers that played them every week or every other week and that was much better. The factory jobs required them to work for a smaller amount of time every day. They can now buy food instead of making it. The pay was low and they also had to pay for food and rent in apartments that the factory owners owned. Working conditions were poor and it was much hotter inside than outside.

The factories could hire women to work and pay them less than a man, women didn’t have many jobs. Work regulations were put into factories and they had to have windows and women had to tie their hair back. Some factories hired children and they could be used to fix things and had to stick their hands in dangerous machines without them being turned off. They also sent children into coal mines because they were smaller. The apartments were small and there could be 4-5 families in a room. Many advancements in agriculture rise. Many Labor problems started and the idea of socialism was started by a man named Karl Marx.Socialism was supposed to be for the worker class. Socialism makes all businesses owned by the government but Karl Marx believed in Communism which had no social classes. In communism everyone is paid the same no matter what they do. The government gives you all of your stuff in communism including your home.

using source 2, which statement best explains how the ideas expressed in the Roosevelt Corollary reflected U.S. actions in Panama shown in Source 1

Answers

Answer:

The Roosevelt Corollary was an addition to the Monroe Doctrine of the 1800s, made by Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States from 1901 to 1909. According to the Monroe Doctrine, Europeans could not intervene on the American continent; then the Roosevelt Corollary added a stipulation that the United States had priority to intervene there to protect its national interests, both economic and political.

Thus, during the Panamanian revolt in the early 1900s (when it was still part of Colombia), the United States supported the independence revolt, with the objective of guaranteeing itself a space in which to build a canal that connects the Pacific and the Atlantic, protecting its commercial interests.

Describe ONE reason why European trading companies “became an inevitable part of the politics and economy of South India” and other regions of Asia in the period 1450–1750.

Answers

Answer:

Pay high amount of taxes.

Explanation:

European trading companies became an inevitable part of the politics and economy of South India because these companies gives high amount of taxes to the empire of that time and also take part in the politics. these trading companies makes big profit for themselves and for their country through trading so these European trading companies are unavoidable part of both politics and economy.

The East European trade Companies were at their peak in the seventeenth century. They became an inextricable element of South India's economy and politics, infiltrating society and even the local people's vernacular.

The weavers were worse economically could distort the image of the economic link between European and Asian merchants and manufacturers. The fact that enterprises like the Dutch East India Company profited handsomely from trade in Asia makes it difficult to assume that the weavers who crafted the goods suffered economically as a result of the expansion.
