CHARACTERS
The characters are the individuals that the story is about. The author should introduce the characters in the story with enough information that the reader can visualize each person. This is achieved by providing detailed descriptions of a character’s physical attributes and personality traits.
Every story should have a main character. The main character determines the way the plot will develop and is usually who will solve the problem the story centers upon. However, the other characters are also very important because they supply additional details, explanations, or actions. All characters should stay true to the author’s descriptions throughout the story so that the reader can understand and believe the action that is taking place—and perhaps even predict which character may do what next.
SETTING
The setting is the location of the action. An author should describe the environment or surroundings of the story in such detail that the reader feels that he or she can picture the scene. Unusual settings (such as a fantasy world) can be interesting, but everyday settings can help a reader to better visualize the story and feel connected to the plot!
PLOT
The plot is the actual story around which the entire book is based. A plot should have a very clear beginning, middle, and end—with all the necessary descriptions and suspense, called exposition—so that the reader can make sense of the action and follow along from start to finish.
CONFLICT
Every story has a conflict to solve. The plot is centered on this conflict and the ways in which the characters attempt to resolve the problem. When the story’s action becomes most exciting, right before the resolution, it is called the climax.
RESOLUTION
The solution to the problem is the way the action is resolved. For example, Katie often resolves a conflict by finding a compromise for two fighting characters or helping fix any mistakes she made while switcherooed into someone else. It is important that the resolution fit he rest of the story in tone and creativity and solve all parts of the conflict.
SOMEONE PUT THIS IN OTHER WORDS PLS, WILL MARK BRAINLIEST. THANKS
if i was going to express my opinion about this topic it would would mostly about how the US has been treating black people all this years it was not only george floyd who was gun shot they have been mistreating black people and had blamed them for the things they haven't done just because they are black it doesn't mean they are different or they don't deserve to have the humans equality and right the black people should be respected and have all the rights that other people have. my contention would be that keep protesting the safe way because violence is not going to do anything then making worst if we protest with violence and they will make reports saying that they are protesting just because they want to steal and destroy things.
Answer:
The United States of America have been treating African Americans systemically worse than the general population for years before people woke up after the shooting of George Floyd. It has been shown in many of the states largest cities, black communities were policied differently, not treated with the same financial funding for education and other social programs that white communties recieved. With the recent events of George Floyd and countless other victims of police brutality, protests should remain peaceful, respectful and organized. These type of silent protests lead to more respect from both sides whether you agree or not and doesn't distance others who are on the fence of the issue at hand, systemic racism in the United States.

9 The author establishes there is hope for Native American children on the reservation by
describing --
A the many ways his father made reading a priority for Alexie
B his learning to read from a comic book as a three year old
C all the ways his classmates demonstrated intelligence
D the students who had read his books and wanted to learn to write
10 What does the author mean when he writes –
A Some students resisted his efforts to reach them.
B A teacher should never give up on his students.
C It is useless to try to overcome cultural values.
D Education is the doorway to Indian children’s success.
11 Which of these is the best summary of the selection?
A Sherman Alexie was determined to save his life and his Native American community through reading and
writing. Although his community did not affirm him, Alexie refused to fail. Now that he is a writer, he visits
reservation schools to teach creative writing, but some students refuse to learn. But Alexie knows that to give
up on them is to give up on his people.
B Because Sherman Alexie’s dad set such a good example as a reader and a learner, Alexie learned to read at
an early age. Alexie was able to withstand the ridicule of bullies because he was so determined to be like his
father. Although his father never had the opportunities of education that Alexie enjoyed, he was proud of his
son’s accomplishments as a writer and a teacher.
C Although Sherman Alexie had been a successful writer for many years, his primary accomplishment was
returning to his people to challenge gifted students who wanted to become writers themselves and to engage
reluctant students who did not want anything to do with school learn how to read and to write.
D Children who learn to read at an early age should be identified as prodigies and given encouragement.
Instead what often happens is that they are outcasts. Sherman Alexie’s success is an example of what child
can accomplish with little support. Sherman Alexie’s desire to give back to his community is an inspiration to us
all.

well.
B
As Indian children, we were expected to fail in the non-Indian world. Those who failed were ceremonially
accepted by other Indians and appropriately pitied by non-Indians.
C
Despite all the books I read, I am still surprised I became a writer. I was going to be a pediatrician. These
days, I write novels, short stories, and poems.
D
They refuse and resist. "Books," I say to them. "Books," I say. I throw my weight against their locked
doors. The door holds. I am smart. I am arrogant. I am lucky. I am trying to save our lives.

Falling Actions
PLZ HELLLP!! I need a very very short story. it can be about anything but with some sort of twist in the end. anything simple will do.
Minimum of 150 words.
Answer: This story takes place in Chinatown, New York, where a drought has caused a famine, resulting in everyone starving to death and suffering. The townspeople, Aurora, Bing, Bo, Bojing, Chao, Wohang, Malana, Uett, Wong, Ilan, muhang, Jing, Hing, Aya and many others were in danger and fearful of what the future might hold for them. Their spirits were helpless and when the lord came, things only got worse for them. This is a story about finding hope through the worst of times.
1. A lord by the name of Ozawa, who looked well-fed and in expensive clothing, visited the village with his army to ask the townspeople to hand whatever money they had. A man by the name of Bojing, dressed in brown rags, went up to the lord and tried handing him 3 dimes, but his hand got pushed away by one of the guards, dropping the money. The lord, with a confused look on his face, thought he was being attacked so he told his men to seize Bojing The guards, dressed in intimidating armor, intervened and arrested the man.
2. A few days after he was arrested, his friends visited him and tried to explain to the jailer what had happened. The jailer didn't believe what they had to say and turned them away saying “Bojing had to serve his 2 month sentence”. Bojing, however, never gave up hope and spent the time in jail planning his revenge against Ozawa. He believed that if he could make the lord pay, it would help the village.
3. Bojing was pacing in his jail cell thinking about reasoning with the lord in order to get him to help the village. His argument would be, “if the villages under your control were poor and starving, you will appear useless, weakening your rule.” Bojing was planning to use the lord's confidence against him to control him into helping the village and possibly making him give up his power.

Which detail from The Narrative of The Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave by Frederick Douglass best supports the inference that he had previously tried to escape from slavery?
Answer:
One ex-slave who became very important in the abolitionist movement was Frederick Douglass. You will read about his life from his birth in approximately 1818 to the time when his first autobiography Opens in modal popup window was published (1845). By that time, Douglass had earned his freedom, worked for several years, and made an important speech to a white audience.
The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass was so well written that many people doubted whether the writer had really been a slave. And it was so successful that Douglass had to flee to England to avoid being caught by slave hunters who were chasing him in the North. Eventually, several British friends paid Douglass's former master for Douglass's freedom, and Douglass returned to the United States as a legally free man.
In 1860, Douglass worked for the presidential campaign of Abraham Lincoln. During the Civil War that soon followed, Douglass recruited Union soldiers, including black soldiers, for two regiments in Massachusetts.
Douglass went on to publish two updates to his autobiography later in life—one in 1855 (still pre-Civil War) and another in 1881. He published a newspaper, gave lectures, and spoke out for human rights around the world.
Look at the time line to get an idea of where Frederick Douglass belongs in a historical context. Be sure to click the area between 1845 and 1865 for details about Douglass's role in the years leading up to, and including, the Civil War.

Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
1. DISAGREE- Even though its the name your parents gave you, you have the right to change it if you dilike it or you want to be called something else.
2. DISAGREE- Names are names. It is a matter of OPINION what name is better. It isn't a FACT which names are better than others.
3. DISAGREE- Moving to a new coutnry does not mean you are abondoning your old culture. You can bring it with you to your new country and share your traditions and customs with everyone else. This has been done a lot. For example, tacos, burritos were brought over from mexico.
4. DISAGREE- Not always. For example, just because you are from america, doesn't mean you know everyone from america. Plus, there are 328.2 million people from America. You don't know them all.

Alex pondered the situation. His neighbor's new kitten, Madge, had managed to climb onto the garage roof, but she now seemed to be
utterly panicked and completely at a loss as to how to get back to solid ground. Alex considered climbing a nearby tree and jumping the short
distance onto the roof to rescue Madge. But he rejected that thought. Instead, he got a ladder, propped it against the garage, and cautiously
climbed toward the frightened kitten. He gently scooped up Madge, descended the ladder, and placed her in his neighbor's arms. The neighbor
smiled and thanked Alex for his heroic gesture.

2 Free Market Economy Summary: Imagine you are a business owner. You have a set of goods you sell, make, or produce in some way. Your store can be whatever you like including one that sells goods, one that sells services, or a corporation of some sort.

Note, a free-market economy is an economy that little government control over the supply and demand of most goods and services.
Since we operate under a free market economy, we would have or expect to have competitors who sell similar goods and services as we do. We would expect the prices of goods and services to change based on supply/demand factors. And lastly, as a corporation of some sort, we are going to enjoy the freedom to expand our operations without government restrictions.

Ed entrusts Jeffy with hiding a strange and dangerous object—something he calls “the key to everything”—and tells Jeffy that he must never use the device. But after a visit from a group of ominous men, Jeffy and Amity find themselves accidentally activating the key and discovering an extraordinary truth. The device allows them to jump between parallel planes at once familiar and bizarre, wondrous and terrifying. And Jeffy and Amity can’t help but wonder, could Michelle be just a click away?

Answer:
William Bradford.
Anne Bradstreet.
Explanation:
Excerpt written by Willian Bradford, in the poem "A word to New England":
"Oh New England, you can not boast;
Thy former glory thou hast lost.
When H00ker, Winthrop, Cotton died,
And many precious ones beside,
Thy beauty then it did decay,
And still doth languish more away. "
William Bradford was one of the first American writers, being one of the most important in the literary production and in the general history of the country. He was a Puritan, served as governor of the Plymouth colony and is the author of the most important account of English colonists and the difficulties they faced on the new continent.
Excerpt written by Anne Bradstreet, in the poem "Upon a Fit of Sickness":
"Bubble blast, how long can'st last?
That always art a breaking,
No sooner blown, but dead and gone,
Ev'n as a word that's speaking.
The whil'st I live, this grace me give,
I doing good may be,
Then death's arrest I shall count best,
because it's thy decree. "
Anne Bradstreet is recognized as the first poet within the territory where the USA is today. She never went to school, but she learned to read and write with her father who was instrumental in her education and one of the main responsible for her ability. She was also a Puritan, but she was not well regarded by other Puritans for displaying behavior considered wrong for that society, such as a woman writing and showing love for her husband.
