Answer:
Over the past two weeks millions of Americans have protested in cities across the country to demand social justice and racial equality. And older Americans have been adding their voices and perspectives to those demonstrations.
For some, marching in the street is nothing new — they have attended rallies and protests for decades to bring awareness or demand change on important social issues. For others, the death of George Floyd in police custody has spurred them to action for the first time.
Either way, to hear them tell it, these new protests feel different. Here are some of their stories.

COURTESY RHONDA MATHIES
Louisville Metro Police, Kentucky State Police and the National Guard were downtown at Sixth and Jefferson streets on May 30. They were dressed in riot gear and on horses, on foot and on the rooftops. The kids were in the middle of the street chanting “Hands up,” “I can’t breathe,” and “No justice, no peace.” Some were lying down in the street. I went over to the side to pray. I went down on my knees. A black girl, maybe in her 30s, younger than my two daughters, said, “Ma’am, get up. The police are ready to move.” I said I wasn’t getting up because I was praying, and she said, “You’ll get locked up,” and I said, “I don’t care.” But she eased me up. When I opened my eyes the police were coming straight at us. A state trooper on foot took his baton and pushed her, and when he did that, I had a flashback to Alabama in the 1960s, and I broke down and started crying.
I’ve been protesting a long time. I started in the school system seeing how black kids were being treated academically and emotionally. It was always a constant struggle. I’m tired. I’m tired for my people. I keep saying it’s up to the next generation, but knowing what my ancestors have been through, my inner being propels me back out to the streets.
In some ways, these are the best of times because we have a diversity of consciousness, but it can’t be just a moment; it’s a movement. The police are not going to magically do the right thing. Racism is still alive. It’s institutionalized.

how does the concept vocabulary contribute to the sense of finality suggested by the title of the story

- The words all share the theme of destruction.
Explanation:
Diction or the choice of words always plays a vital role in serving the author's purpose by conveying the specific intended meaning effectively to the readers.'

Read the passage from "The Seven Voyages of Sindbad the Sailor.” [The porter] followed the servant into a vast room, where a great company was seated round a table covered with all sorts of delicacies. In the place of honor sat a tall, grave man, whose long white beard gave him a venerable air. Behind his chair stood a crowd of attendants eager to minister to his wants. This was the famous Sindbad himself. The porter, more than ever alarmed at the sight of so much magnificence, tremblingly saluted the noble company. Sindbad, making a sign to him to approach, caused him to be seated at his right hand, and himself heaped choice morsels upon his plate, and poured out for him a draught of excellent wine, and presently, when the banquet drew to a close, spoke to him familiarly, asking his name and occupation.

How was Laurie from Charles able to control his situation through Charles?
Answer:
When Laurie first starts kindergarten, he is a real terror. His parents have no idea that he is misbehaving, because they never talk directly to the teacher and the teacher never talks to them. Although Laurie misbehaves at home, they never seem to make the connection that he may be misbehaving at school.
Laurie makes up a little boy named Charles that he tells his parents behaves badly at school. His parents believe every word of it, and even seem to enjoy the stories of the bad behavior Charles does at school. They do not notice that Laurie is a problem at home and may be the one who is the problem at school.
It is clear from the beginning that Laurie is a brat. He is rude to his parents and they do not seem to be able to control him.
At lunch he spoke insolently to his father, spilled his baby sister’s milk, and remarked that his teacher said we were not to take the name of the Lord in vain.
As his journey to kindergarten continues, Laurie brings home stories of how Charles is punished. Obviously the teacher does not ignore his behavior. He is spanked several times, forced to miss recess, and made to “to stand in a corner during storytime” for being disruptive, rude, or violent.
In each case, Laurie does not appear to be resentful or contrite. Then again, he is telling his parents that someone else is the one being punished, so he may not want to give too much detail. Just making up a story shows that he has some feelings about. It is his way of trying to communicate with his parents.
Laurie’s parents worry that “Charles” is a bad influence on their child. Laurie comes home one day saying that "Charles" and the whole class had to stay after school. The incident seems to upset him more than the other punishments, but he continues to get in trouble. His mother misses the Parent-Teacher meeting, so she still knows nothing. Too bad! If she had gone, she would have learned what was going on that much sooner.
Laurie seems to realize that he is not going to get kicked out of school for being bad. About a month into kindergarten the teacher begins to ask him to help her, and he “grimly” determines that he might as well. He gets into trouble a few more times, but less often, and when Laurie’s mother goes to the meeting, his teacher confirms that he is mostly better.
“We had a little trouble adjusting, the first week or so,” she said primly, “but now he’s a fine little helper. With occasional lapses, of course.”
It seems that Laurie has accepted his lot. He is in school to stay. He is not going to get himself kicked out. He seems to like being the teacher’s helper. There are only so many ways he can be bad. With the occasional relapse, he has settled in to behaving himself and being socialized to school.
This story is a good example of an ironic twist ending. You do not realize the first time you read it that Charles is not real. There is a lot of judging going on by the mother. Of course, it is easy for the reader to judge her too. If you look carefully though, you will notice that she is probably just overwhelmed. She has a young son who is a handful, and a baby too. The reader would do well not to make the same mistake she does, and be too judgmental of her either.
What plot techniques( flashback, flash forward, dream sequence are used? Story: Condensed Milk.
Plot techniques are elements that an author uses in writing in order to convey specific information. These methods are used in order to develop the narrative in an efficient or creative way. In the story "Condensed Milk," several techniques are employed to make the story deeper or more interesting.
Two examples of these methods are the use of irony and foreshadowing.
Irony occurs when a particular statement appears to be something in the surface, while in reality being something different. When Shestakov encourages the rest of the men to go forward, he promises that no harm will come to them. This is an ironic statement considering how dangerous their mission will be.
This is also an example of foreshadowing, as it suggest to the reader that problems will befall the men:
‘Let’s go farther,’ said Shestakov.
‘Don’t worry, it won’t kill us. Your socks will stay in one Piece!
Foreshadowing occurs when an author suggests to the reader that certain events will take place later in the narrative.
Why does experiencing extremely scary or happy events cause people to feel a strong attachment to one another even after the event has passed?
Answer:
Because this type of event creates very strong marks on the brain, creating an emotional memory in relation to the people who were present at these events.
Explanation:
Events that promote intense emotions, such as a lot of happiness or a lot of fear, promote deep marks in the brain. These events are never forgotten and it causes a type of emotional memory that makes all the elements present in these events very clear, which makes the individual feel an attachment to all of them, especially the people who participated in this event, going through the same situation or just following along.

Hello. Did you forget to say that this question is about "The Wife of Bath"

True or false: A pluralistic society is composed of people with very similar beliefs and backgrounds. Explain.
ANSWER
THE ANSWER IS TRUE
EXPLANATION
A pluralistic society is a diverse one, where the people in it believe all kinds of different things and tolerate each other's beliefs even when they don't match their own.
The statement is Ture. A pluralistic society is composed of people with very similar beliefs and backgrounds. Anything that is pluralistic embraces a variety of various viewpoints or individuals. A pluralistic society is one that is diverse, where its residents hold a wide range of opinions and respect those of others, even when those beliefs differ from their own.
What is the concept of pluralism?The acceptance and affirmation of diversity within a political body is known as pluralism as a political theory, and it is seen to allow for the peaceful coexistence of various interests, convictions, and lifestyles.
Classical pluralism is the theory that many non-governmental organizations use their resources to influence politics and decision-making, but that these processes mostly take place inside the framework of the state. How influence and power are dispersed during a political process is the main issue in classical pluralism. In a pluralistic society, different groups coexist peacefully and productively. Schools in varied, pluralistic societies educate students about every group in society, from the oldest to the most recent.
