Answers

Answer:

The White Man's Burden: The United States and the Philippine Islands" (1899), by Rudyard Kipling, is a poem about the Philippine–American War (1899–1902), which exhorts the United States to assume colonial control of the Filipino people and their country. Kipling's aim was to encourage the American government to take over the Philippines, one of the territorial prizes of the Spanish-American War, and rule it with the same energy, honor, and beneficence that, he believed, characterized British rule over the nonwhite populations of India and Africa.

Explanation:

Kipling believed the "White Man's burden" was the duty of white men to bring education and salvation to people around the world that he deemed uncivilized. Many people, including people of color and anti-imperialists, have called this concept racist.

Do you consider ballet a sport? The best answer gets brainliest.

Answers

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

I consider ballet a sport because just like more widely accepted sports such as football or baseball, it requires skill, dedication, sweat, hard work, and discipline. Ballet dancers train for years to improve their dancing skills, balance, and endurance. They need to know how to move quickly yet gracefully, which is no easy task. Pointe dancers need to have incredible leg strength in order to stay on their toes for several minutes at a time. Male dancers need to be able to pick up female dancers without it looking at all difficult. Therefore, ballet requires just as much work as other sports, so it should be accepted as one.

Read the following excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass, by Fredrick Douglass and answer the question that follows.

The plan which I adopted, and the one by which I was most successful, was that of making friends of all the little white boys whom I met in the street. As many of these as I could, I converted into teachers. With their kindly aid, obtained at different times and in different places, I finally succeeded in learning to read. When I was sent of errands, I always took my book with me, and by doing one part of my errand quickly, I found time to get a lesson before my return. I used also to carry bread with me, enough of which was always in the house, and to which I was always welcome; for I was much better off in this regard than many of the poor white children in our neighborhood. This bread I used to bestow upon the hungry little urchins, who, in return, would give me that more valuable bread of knowledge. I am strongly tempted to give the names of two or three of those little boys, as a testimonial of the gratitude and affection I bear them; but prudence forbids;—not that it would injure me, but it might embarrass them; for it is almost an unpardonable offence to teach slaves to read in this Christian country.

Which of the following best summarizes the passages?
The white boys in his neighborhood taught him to read in exchange for pieces of bread.
It was against the rules to teach slaves to read in white Christian country.
Frederick Douglass was wealthy while the white boys were poor.
Frederick Douglass couldn’t go to school because he had too many errands to do.

Summarize the events of scenes four and five in one paragraph.(anne frank)

Answers

Answer:

One night, Anne wakes up everyone in the attic with her screams.

She's had a nightmare about the Nazis coming to take her away.

It seems totally normal to us that her fears would manifest in this way, but everyone in the attic short of her parents seems more than a little annoyed by this.

Mr. Dussel even locks himself in the bathroom; he's so angry.

We see Anne's parents concerned and helpless for their young daughter who has to deal with the ugly realities of war and death.

They are afraid for her as well as for themselves.

Anne's request for her father's comfort after the nightmare, rather than her mother's, provides more fuel for a conflict that appears to be escalating.

Mrs. Frank's feelings are extremely hurt, and Anne knows this but can't figure out how to make things work with her mom.

BLIZZARD SPRING STORM
Snow:
years of anger following
hours that float idly down—
the blizzard
drifts its weight
deeper and deeper for three days
or sixty years, eh? Then
the sun! a clutter of
yellow and blue flakes—
Hairy looking trees stand out
in long alleys
over a wild solitude.
The man turns and there—
his solitary track stretched out
upon the world. The sky has given over
its bitterness.
Out of the dark change
all day long
rain falls and falls
as if it would never end.
Still the snow keeps
its hold on the ground.
But water, water
from a thousand runnels!
It collects swiftly,
dappled with black
cuts a way for itself
through green ice in the gutters.
Drop after drop it falls
from the withered grass-stems
of the overhanging embankment.
