"Harlem" - Langston Hughes
(Look up the words in green if you do not know the definition)
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
After reading "Harlem" what connections can you make to yourself and this poem? (Respond with 3-5 complete sentences)?
Answers
Answer:
The connection I can make between the poem "Harlem" and myself is on the need not to defer any of my dreams.
For example, if my dream was to become a Nurse but due to finances, was unable to enter into college, I should still keep the dream alive rather than forgeting it entirely.
Forsaking a dream would create the doubt of "What would ahve happened if I didn't or Had I known...."

The correct way to cite an article you read online about Magnetism is:
Author, A. A. (Date of publication). Title of article. Title of website, [URL].
For example, if you read an article about Magnetism on the website "Magnetism Today" on August 5, 2005, you would cite it as follows:
Smith, J. (2005, August 5). Magnetism. Magnetism Today, https://www.magnetismtoday.com/.

Explanation:
In 1910, just before Marie Curie collected her second Nobel Prize for radioactivity, young György Hevesy arrived in England to study radioactivity himself. His university’s lab director in Manchester, Ernest Rutherford, immediately assigned Hevesy the Herculean task of separating out radioactive atoms from nonradioactive atoms inside blocks of lead. Actually, it turned out to be not Herculean but impossible. Rutherford had assumed the radioactive atoms, known as radium-D, were a unique substance. In fact, radium-D was radioactive lead and therefore could not be separated chemically. Ignorant of this, Hevesy wasted two years tediously trying to tease lead and radium-D apart before giving up.
Hevesy—a bald, droopy-cheeked, mustached aristocrat from Hungary—also faced domestic frustrations. Hevesy was far from home and used to savory Hungarian food, not the English cooking at his boardinghouse. After noticing patterns in the meals served there, Hevesy grew suspicious that, like a high school cafeteria recycling Monday’s hamburgers into Thursday’s beef chili, his landlady’s “fresh” daily meat was anything but. When confronted, she denied this, so Hevesy decided to seek proof.
Miraculously, he’d achieved a breakthrough in the lab around that time. He still couldn’t separate radium-D, but he realized he could flip that to his advantage. He’d begun musing over the possibility of injecting minute quantities of dissolved lead into a living creature and then tracing the element’s path, since the creature would metabolize the radioactive and nonradioactive lead the same way, and the radium-D would emit beacons of radioactivity as it moved. If this worked, he could actually track molecules inside veins and organs, an unprecedented degree of resolution.
Before he tried this on a living being, Hevesy decided to test his idea on the tissue of a nonliving being, a test with an ulterior motive. He took too much meat at dinner one night and, when the landlady’s back was turned, sprinkled “hot” lead over it. She gathered his leftovers as normal, and the next day Hevesy brought home a newfangled radiation detector from his lab buddy, Hans Geiger. Sure enough, when he waved it over that night’s goulash, Geiger’s counter went furious: click-click-click-click. Hevesy confronted his landlady with the evidence. But, being a scientific romantic, Hevesy no doubt laid it on thick as he explained the mysteries of radioactivity. In fact, the landlady was so charmed to be caught so cleverly, with the latest tools of forensic science, she didn’t even get mad. There’s no historical record of whether she altered her menu, however.

You are asked to revise the following sentence so it contains no dangling or misplaced modifiers:
We hid behind the bushes waiting for squirrels holding our cameras.
Which choice is the best answer?
There is no revision needed. The original sentence is correct as it is.
Holding our cameras, we hid behind the bushes waiting for squirrels.
Holding our cameras, we waited for squirrels hiding behind the bushes.
We waited for squirrels hiding behind the bushes holding our cameras.
Answers
Answer: Holding our cameras, we hid behind the bushes and waited for squirrels.
Explanation:
The original sentence, "We hid behind the bushes waiting for squirrels holding our cameras," contains a dangling modifier. It suggests that the squirrels were holding our cameras instead of us. To correct this, we need to rephrase the sentence so that the subject doing the action is mentioned.
One possible revision is, "Holding our cameras, we hid behind the bushes and waited for squirrels." This revision ensures that the phrase "holding our cameras" correctly modifies "we." It conveys that while holding our cameras, we hid behind the bushes and waited for squirrels.
By rephrasing the sentence, we maintain clarity and remove any imprecision regarding who is holding the cameras and waiting for the squirrels. This revision improves the sentence's structure and eliminates the issue of dangling or misplaced modifiers.

excerpt from “Mohandas Gandhi: Truth in Action” by Vanessa Wright
“Thief,” thought Mohandas Gandhi. “I am a thief.”
Fifteen-year-old Mohandas looked at the gold in his hand. He had stolen it from his brother. It was not his first theft: earlier, he had stolen coins from the family’s servants. But now, the gold in his hand burned like a hot coal. He sat down and wrote a letter of confession to his father.
Would his father punish him? Mohandas watched as his father read the note. Tears rolled down his father’s cheeks, wetting the paper. But there was no scolding. Silently, his father tore the letter into pieces. Later, Gandhi realized that, in his father’s response, he had seen the principle of Ahimsa—of nonviolence—in action. He dedicated his life to that principle.
Which statement best describes how the anecdote affects the text?
It shows that Gandhi is untrustworthy.
It reveals that Gandhi learns the importance of nonviolence.
It proves that gold is important to Gandhi.
It demonstrates that as a teen Gandhi has a permissive father.

7. Describe the situation with Carl. Is it blackmail? How much does he really want?
8. How do they handle the situation with Carl?
Answers
The answer response are:
Anne's "sweet little secret" refers to her first period, which she is excited about but also embarrassed to talk about.Anne romanticizes her period because she feels like it's a sign of growing up and becoming a woman.They are still blaming Peter for something that happened a year ago because he stole some food and caused a shortage for the others.Mr. Dussel not spending a lot of time in the common area with the others affects his relationships with them because he becomes isolated and distant, leading to a lack of trust and understanding.They fight over cake because there is a shortage of food and they are all hungry, leading to tensions and disagreements.Mr. Van Daan was being selfish when he had Miep sell Mrs. Van Daan's coat because he wanted to benefit himself financially, even though it meant taking something away from his wife.The situation with Carl involves him demanding money in exchange for not reporting the Franks and Van Daans to the authorities. It could be considered blackmail, as he is using a threat to obtain something he wants.They handle the situation with Carl by coming up with a plan to give him some money, but also making sure that they are not endangering themselves by giving away too much.What is the Diary of Anne Frank?The Diary of Anne Frank is a true story about a young Jewish girl named Anne Frank who lived in Amsterdam during the Nazi occupation.

Therefore, Through her diary, Anne offers a vivid picture of the fear, loneliness, and hope that characterized life for Jewish people during this time. The diary has become a widely read and highly regarded historical document, and Anne Frank is widely regarded as a symbol of the victims of the Holocaust.

For over three centuries a steady stream of men, women and children followed the beacon of liberty which this light symbolizes. They brought to us strength and moral fibre developed in a civilization centuries old but fired anew by the dream of a better life in America. They brought to one new country the cultures of a hundred old ones.
It has not been sufficiently emphasized in the teaching of our history that the overwhelming majority of those who came from the Nations of the Old World to our American shores were not the laggards, not the timorous, not the failures.
They were men and women who had the supreme courage to strike out for themselves, to abandon language and relatives, to start at the bottom without influence, without money and without knowledge of life in a very young civilization. We can say for all America what the Californians say of the Forty-Niners: "The cowards never started and the weak died by the way."
Perhaps Providence did prepare this American continent to be a place of the second chance. Certainly, millions of men and women have made it that. They adopted this homeland because in this land they found a home in which the things they most desired could be theirs—freedom of opportunity, freedom of thought, freedom to worship God. Here they found life because here there was freedom to live.
It is the memory of all these eager seeking millions that makes this one of America's places of great romance. Looking down this great harbor I like to think of the countless numbers of inbound vessels that have made this port. I like to think of the men and women who, with the break of dawn off Sandy Hook, have strained their eyes to the west for a first glimpse of the New World.
They came to us—most of them—in steerage. But they, in their humble quarters, saw things in these strange horizons which were denied to the eyes of those few who traveled in greater luxury.
They came to us speaking many tongues—but a single language, the universal language of human aspiration.
How well their hopes were justified is proved by the record of what they achieved. They not only found freedom in the New World, but by their effort and devotion they made the New World's freedom safer, richer, more far-reaching, more capable of growth.
Ellis island text:
The missionary questions the Italian family, and little Carmelita, thirteen years old, tells her story in some such way as follows:
"Our home was in Naples in the South of Italy. It is so beautiful there! And the sun shines all day long and every day, and we often sing our dear song, "La bella Napoli." We loved our dear sunny Italy so much!
But we were very poor, and father heard there is good times in America and plenty money; so one day he say good-by to us all and come over here. He not find plenty money, and sometimes he very poor, and it was long to wait, but by and by he find a good work and being to save money to bring us over.
"Every week my mother gotta letter, and every time it tell how much money my father saved. Father can't write himself, but he know a boy that can; and mother, she get a lady that she work for to read it to her. We not have so many schools in Italy, and when the father and mother were little they not have much chance; but my Italy now is like other countries and make more schools, and many children can go, but not all.
I learn a little, and the American lady that mother wash for, she teacha me the English. Father, he write that, when we come to America, we all shall go to the school; so we all want to make hurry to come to this land.
"At last, in a letter came money to buy the ticket for all of us, mother and grandmother and all the children. Mother think it much work to get us all ready, but we all helped; and, after all, there was not much to get ready, for we not own many things; and so at last we all were packed up, and every one had something to carry except baby. Even Theresa carried the birdcage, though she is only two.

For lo! the very stars are gone.
Brave Adm'r'l, speak; what shall I say?"
"Why, say, 'Sail on! sail on! and on!'" "My men grow mutinous day by day;
10 My men grow ghastly, wan and weak."

If we sight naught but seas at dawn?"
15 "Why, you shall say at break of day:
'Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!'"
They sailed and sailed, as winds might blow,
Until at last the blanched mate said:
"Why, now not even God would know
20 Should I and all my men fall dead.
These very winds forget their way,
For God from these dread seas is gone.
Now speak, brave Adm'r'l, speak and say"-
He said: "Sail on! sail on! and on!"
25 They sailed. They sailed. Then spake the mate:
"This mad sea shows his teeth to-night.
He curls his lip, he lies in wait,
He lifts his teeth, as if to bite!
