4 sentence essay need help!
Answer:
The black women of Hidden Figures are constantly pushing — whether it’s Johnson pushing Harrison to allow her to attend Pentagon briefings, or Vaughn stealing a library book to learn Fortran, the programming language for the IBM computer threatening to put her out of a job. After a librarian informed her that the book came from a part of the library restricted only to whites, Vaughn tucked it away and took it anyway, because how else was she going to learn?
But even common interests can’t serve those who can’t see them, and in that regard, Vivian Mitchell, the obstructionist head of the white computers played by an icy Kirsten Dunst, becomes a cinematic metonym for the 53 percent of white women who voted for Donald Trump, an admitted sexual assaulter who said women who have abortions must be punished for doing so. Mitchell is so determined to block Vaughn and her fellow computers from achieving any sort of progress — and so interested in maintaining a racist status quo she’s convinced benefits her — that she ends up undercutting herself in the process. When NASA needs programmers for its new IBM computer, it’s Vaughn’s team who is armed with knowledge of Fortran, while Mitchell’s group is left in the cold.
Besides communicating about the power of common interests, Hidden Figures demonstrates why sneering dismissively at “identity politics” or using the term as a pejorative amounts to little more than hogwash. When you stand in the way of progress for women and people of color, you are only hobbling yourself. Hidden Figures offers a beautiful illustration of how hollow the call to “Make America Great Again” really rings, because an America without black women isn’t just an America without the women who birthed, nursed, and raised so many white children at the expense of their own. There will be no white ethnostate like the one white nationalist Richard Spencer dreams of creating because an America without black women is an America without its most educated demographic in the workforce. It is an America devoid of a group, who instead of pouting and throwing hissy fits as automation threatens to make its jobs obsolete, instead picks itself up, dusts itself off, and answers with steely resolve and a thirst for more education, as Dorothy Vaughn did.
An America without black women is an America lacking the energy, the bravery, the optimism, and the determination to power its wildest dreams, like sending a man hurtling into space to orbit the earth and then bringing him safely back home — you know, its moon shots.

Read the excerpt from "Tools of the Spymaster."
In the summer of 1777, British General Sir Henry Clinton, in New York City, had to keep in touch with General John Burgoyne, whose troops were heading down the Hudson Valley, and with General Sir William Howe, who was supposed to link up with Burgoyne but instead had chosen to take Philadelphia.
Howe believed that "friends of [the British] Government" along the Hudson would make Burgoyne's task easy. But along the Hudson there were also many enemies of the British. A Peekskill man, for example, although paid to be a courier for Burgoyne, handed the general's message to the Americans. Other British couriers who rode south were never heard from again.
Which statement includes explicit information from the text?
General Burgoyne’s misjudgments led to failures in communication between British troops.

Then I smiled because all of the questions were over. The men asked Papa and Mama to read some Italian words from a book, and the official stamped our papers. Then he grinned and said in English, “Welcome to the United States of America!” And in that instant, joy won the fight on Mama’s face.

the author’s family and friends
an important event in the author’s life
popular culture
Answer:
important events in the authors life
Breakfast eaten and the slim camp-outfit lashed to the sled, the men turned their backs on the cheery fire and launched out into the darkness. At once began to rise the cries that were fiercely sad—cries that called through the darkness and cold to one another and answered back. Conversation ceased. Daylight came at nine o'clock. At midday the sky to the south warmed to rose-color, and marked where the bulge of the earth intervened between the meridian sun and the northern world. But the rose-color swiftly faded. The grey light of day that remained lasted until three o'clock, when it, too, faded, and the pall of the Arctic night descended upon the lone and silent land.
As darkness came on, the hunting-cries to right and left and rear drew closer—so close that more than once they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs, throwing them into short-lived panics.
At the conclusion of one such panic, when he and Henry had got the dogs back in the traces, Bill said:
"I wish they'd strike game somewhere, an' go away an' leave us alone."
"They do get on the nerves horrible," Henry sympathized.
They spoke no more until camp was made.
WHAT IS THE MAIN MESSAGE OF THIS EXCERIPT OF WHITE FANG? PLEASE RESPOND IN THREE TO FIVE COMPLETE SENTENCES, INCLUDING SPECIFIC SECTIONS OF TEXT TO SUPPORT YOR ANSWER.
Answer:
The main message of this passage is that even though we might feel like there is silence, there is always our thoughts that aren't quiet.
Explanation:
When Jack London explains the setting as " the lone and silent land," it shows that there is really nothing that could cause harm to the character. As London goes on in the passage, he begins to describe " the hunting cries..." and how "they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs." This represents the thoughts of everyday people and the fear of the unknown. London then goes on to say " I wisht they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone." "They do get on the nerves horrible." These quotes represent the racing thoughts of the two characters, Bill and Henry, and how, even in the silence of the night, their thoughts are still heard loud and clear in their heads about the possible creatures that lurk in the dark.

Use the poem "Recuerdo" by Edna St. Vincent Millay to complete the activity.
(1) We were very tired, we were very merry—
We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry.
It was bare and bright, and smelled like a stable—
But we looked into a fire, we leaned across a table,
We lay on a hill-top underneath the moon;
And the whistles kept blowing, and the dawn came soon.
(2) We were very tired, we were very merry—
We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry;
And you ate an apple, and I ate a pear,
From a dozen of each we had bought somewhere;
And the sky went wan, and the wind came cold,
And the sun rose dripping, a bucketful of gold.
(3) We were very tired, we were very merry,
We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry.
We hailed, “Good morrow, mother!” to a shawl-covered head,
And bought a morning paper, which neither of us read;
And she wept, “God bless you!” for the apples and pears,
And we gave her all our money but our subway fares.
In one to two sentences, explain how the repeated lines contribute to the overall meaning of the poem.
The repeated lines in the poem “Recuerdo” by Edna St. Vincent Millay serve to emphasize the central theme of the poem: the memory of a joyful and carefree night spent with a loved one. The repetition also creates a sense of rhythm and structure, adding to the dreamlike quality of the poem.

What Is Better Distance Learning or face-to-face Learning Justify your answer in simple lines 5-6 Points (will mark Brainlest)
Answer:
Online learning is increasingly popular nowadays, and this trend is here to stay. With more flexibility, self-directed study options, and access to the same instructors and teachers as traditional learning, it’s no surprise that online learning is popular. But is online learning as good as face to face learning? It may be — and may even be more effective in some cases!
What Is Online Learning?
Online learning can be any type of learning that takes place over the internet. This could be a supplemental course, a full degree program, or self study. More times than not, online learning is asynchronous, as students do not have to learn at the same time and place as their instructors are teaching.
What Is Face-To-Face Learning?
Face-to-face learning is the more traditional way of instruction, where students and teachers attend an in-person session at the same time. The instructor leads the class, and usually, students are passively learning.

Measuring Up: Online Learning vs Face-to-Face
1. Asynchronous Learning vs Synchronous Learning
One of the most significant differences between face-to-face learning and online learning is that face-to-face learning is synchronous, or done at the same time. All instructors and students/classmates are present in face-to-face learning.
With online learning, however, that is not necessary. Online instruction can be either synchronous or asynchronous.
2. Delivering Knowledge vs Facilitating Learning
In face-to-face classes, instructors are usually just delivering knowledge, and then assessing the understanding of that knowledge at a later date.
This is compared to online learning, where instructors are seen more as facilitators of learning — helping their students understand the material through provided online materials.
3. Teacher vs Child-Led Advancement
While both online and face-to-face learning can have components of both student-led and teacher-led curriculum, online study lends itself better to student-led advancement and learning. In online study, students can decide for themselves what they want to dig deeper on, and spend more time learning.
4. Discipline and Self Motivation
Some may say that it is harder to succeed in online education, and that is because you must be highly self-motivated and disciplined. In online learning, no one is keeping you on track — you must be your own motivator, time keeper, and disciplinarian.
5. Measuring Performance
In both face-to-face and online learning, instructors must have a way to measure performance. This is typically done by way of submitting assignments, administering tests, exams and quizzes, and creating points for participation. Participation and class ‘attendance’ is harder to measure in an online learning environment.

Key Differences Between Face-to-Face vs Online Instruction
There are so many important differences between face-to-face learning and online learning. Here are just a few:
Key Differences Face-to-Face vs Online Instruction infographic table by UoPeople
Benefits of Face-to-Face Learning
Face-to-face learning has been the standard way of instruction for centuries. While online instruction is becoming increasingly popular, in-person study may still be the best option for some people. With face-to-face learning, instructors are better able to gauge understanding and interest of students, and it is easier to generate group excitement about a subject. It is also easier to hold students accountable.
6 Reasons Why Online Learning is More Effective
Is online learning as good as face-to-face learning? It may be even better.
1. Students Learn More
Online courses give students full control over what they are learning, so students are able to work at their own speed. They are able to work quickly through areas they understand, and spend more time on areas they do not.
2. Higher Retention Rates
Many studies have shown that retention rates for online students are much higher than for traditional, in-person students. Online learning increases access and makes it more likely that a student can finish a course or program when physical limitations are removed.

3. Lower Time Investment
ln online learning, students save a ton of time by not having to commute to class. There is also a need by face-to-face instructors to fill the allotted course time, when students could be using that time to work on something more valuable for their learning. In online learning, students are spending less time overall, and making that time towards their education count.
Please mark as brainliest
Answer:
Explanation:
In my opinion I am very neutral when it comes to this question. Having lost nearly a year of in person learning it is very hard to transfer back to what was known as normal especially when it comes to school. Having to socially interact with other students and teachers in person just seems so much harder than it used to be, Without the aid of the internet or the comfort of working in my own room school seems like much more of a burden. But if I had the chance to go back and relive 2020 as a normal year I would 100% want to be in in person learning. I feel like I have lost so much more valuable knowledge than I should have.

The name, is nonrestrictive, because of the meaning of the sentence. The sentence says youngest brother - this means that there can only be one youngest brother, so we dont need to know what his name actually is. By stating that he is the youngest one, we already know who the speaker is referring to.
