Read the excerpt below:

As of now, if a child is brought into the country illegally, there is no method for becoming a
documented resident. Congress should consider giving undocumented students an opportunity
to gain legal status by passing the DREAM act, a bill that would provide certain illegal students
who graduate from US high schools, who are of good moral character, and who arrived in the
U.S. as minors, the opportunity to earn permanent residency. It was introduced in the United States Senate, and the United States House of Representatives on March 26, 2009. Passing
the DREAM Act would encourage undocumented students to achieve in school and become
helpful members of our society. This opportunity for education would allow them to obtain
good jobs and salaries and thus get off the welfare system and stay out of crime.

Which part of this story by the Brothers Grimm shows how a decision made by the main character affects the events of the story?

A. A shepherd had a faithful dog, called Sultan, who was grown very old, and had lost all his teeth. And one day when the shepherd and his wife were standing together before the house the shepherd said, "I will shoot old Sultan tomorrow morning, for he is of no use now."
B. Poor Sultan, who was lying close by them, heard all that the shepherd and his wife said to one another, and was very much frightened to think tomorrow would be his last day; so in the evening he went to his good friend the wolf, who lived in the wood, and told him all his sorrows, and how his master meant to kill him in the morning.
C. Soon afterwards the wolf came and wished him joy, and said, "Now, my good fellow, you must tell no tales, but turn your head the other way when I want to taste one of the old shepherd's fine fat sheep."
D. The boar, however, had not quite hidden himself, for his ears stuck out of the bush; and when he shook one of them a little, the cat, seeing something move, and thinking it was a mouse, sprang upon it, and bit and scratched it, so that the boar jumped up and grunted, and ran away, roaring out, "Look up in the tree, there sits the one who is to blame."

This assignment will springboard off of the Photo Memoir essay you wrote in Unit 2. Revisit your photo memoir essay and research a historical event that occurred during that time period. In lieu of research, you may use primary sources such as family letters or documents that could be used to provide background for your essay. Rework the photo memoir essay to incorporate the historically significant information into a new essay that argues a point based on the graphic and textual sources you gathered. Cite the sources both implicitly and explicitly within your essay.

Here is the memoir I wrote
“It is what it is”. Though it’s a cliche phrase, this is the photograph that I’ve selected to discuss. It may sound trite, this quote possesses a deeper meaning. When life seems to be out of control, it causes me to feel overwhelmed. It’s an instinct that I immediately want to take matters into my own hands, but in some situations, this is not feasible. This quote represents a deeper meaning that I cannot control things that are beyond me. Furthermore, the topic of discussion will revolve around It Is What It Is.
It’s hard to deny that when situations in our life don't go our way or even how we had planned we don't get upset. In my case, this situation can ruin my day. For example, before a ski race I used to have an expectation for myself, and I would give my best performance on the hill. Sometimes I would come up short, and this is what used to upset me. Although at the time I didn't realize that I did everything in my control to win, so at the end of the day I was racing myself. How does this tie back to It Is What It Is? Well, it seems that increasingly often you hear the phrase, “It is what it is.” I was taking the phrase to mean, “It’s not this and it’s not that; it’s something more subtle that I don’t have a name for, and I’m ok with that.” This actively demonstrates that you're ok with things not going your way, and this can lead to better self-development. By letting things hang in an uncategorized state in their mind they may slowly come to a richer, more nuanced understanding of it, which may lead to a new insight or invention.
Although there are benefits to It Is What It Is, the phrase comes with downfalls. For example, when you do have the power to change something going wrong, and you use the phrase it may come more across as giving up. Another way of saying this would be if somebody needs your help, and you have the power to help them, although you decide not to because you think the outcome is inevitable. Even though there is this downfall it does not ruin the phrase. You just have to use it at the correct time. For instance, the correct time to use this phrase would be when something is out of your control, and you are struggling to cope with it. The phrase wasn't meant to give up, it's less meant to deal with it. This phrase oddly enough has helped me cope with things that are out of my control.
To sum up, everything that has been stated so far It Is What It Is is an expression used to characterize a frustrating or challenging situation that a person believes cannot be changed and must just be accepted. In saying this it demonstrates more regard for I won't let something out of my control affect me.
