excerpt from "Why Equal Pay Is Worth Fighting For" by Senator Elizabeth Warren, April 17, 2014
I honestly can't believe that we're still arguing over equal pay in 2014.
When I started teaching elementary school after college, the public school district didn't hide the fact that it had two pay scales: one for men and one for women. Women have made incredible strides since then. But 40 years later, we're still debating equal pay for equal work.
Women today still earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns, and they're taking a hit in nearly every occupation. Bloomberg analyzed Census data and found that median earnings for women were lower than those for men in 264 of 265 major occupation categories. In 99.6 percent of occupations, men get paid more than women. That's not an accident; that's discrimination.
The effects of this discrimination are real, and they are long lasting. Today, more young women go to college than men, but unequal pay makes it harder for them to pay back student loans. Pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women. . . .
For middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by, and many families depend as much on Mom's salary as they do on Dad's, if not more. Women are the main breadwinners, or joint breadwinners, in two-thirds of the families across the country, and pay discrimination makes it that much harder for these families to stay afloat.
Women are ready to fight back against pay discrimination, but it's not easy. Today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes. Here in the Senate, Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) introduced the Paycheck Fairness Act to give women the tools to combat wage discrimination. It would help ensure that salary differences have something to do with the actual job that they are doing, and not just because they are women.
This is a common-sense proposal—no discrimination, no retaliation when women ask how much the guys are getting paid, and basic data that tell us how much men and women are getting paid for key jobs. Basic protection, basic information—that's essentially all this bill does. Employers can still pay different workers different salaries based on factors like skill, performance, expertise, seniority, and so forth—the Paycheck Fairness Act doesn't touch any of that.
Even while women still earn less than men in 99.6 percent of occupations, Senate Republicans won't even let the Senate vote on a bill to help make the workplace a little fairer for women. They just filibustered the Paycheck Fairness Act for a third time, telling women that we don't need paycheck fairness.
This should be a no-brainer. America's women are tired of hearing that pay inequality isn't real. We're tired of hearing that it is somehow our fault, and we're ready to fight back. We are not going to give up on passing the Paycheck Fairness Act to level the playing field for hardworking women in the workplace.

Answer 1
i read the passage and yea it looks right 
Answer 2

Women today still earn a third less of every dollar a man earns - valid reasoning.

This is valid reasoning because it shows there is a difference between the wages of men and women. It also shows that the difference is negative for women rather than men because they earn less.

The Paycheck Fairness Act would ensure that differences in salaries are based on differences in jobs. - invalid reasoning.

While this point does talk about how people are trying to fix the differences in salaries, it doesn't show that it positively or negatively affects women. There is nothing in this detail to suggest that anything will change.

More women go to college than men, but unequal pay makes it harder for women to pay back student loans. - valid reasoning

This specific detail shows how women are earning less money than men. It also shows how this can impact their lives. Since women are having a harder time paying back the loans, they are negatively impacted by wage discrimination.

Members of the Senate have repeatedly blocked voting on the Paycheck Fairness Act. invalid reasoning

This is invalid reasoning because it goes against the idea that everyone would earn a fair wage. It does not include enough information to show that wage discrimination negatively impacts women.

More middle-class families rely on two incomes for survival. - valid reasoning.

This detail gets to the reason why a woman's wage is important to her family and household. It can be inferred here that if a woman were not to earn her fair share of wages, the family would suffer.

Answers

The correct answer is A. "But in her web she still delights / To weave the mirror's magic sights." The confined Lady of Shalott mustn't directly look into the world outside. She can only do it through the magic mirror, and she has an irresistible need to weave what she sees in the mirror into her magic web - a genuinely artistic need to interpret the outside world, to endow it with meaning, to understand it, to relive it. In her situation, paradoxically, art is her only contact with the world because she is forbidden to walk outside or even take a direct look through the window.

What evidence leads you to believe that the dagger Macbeth sees is an illusion? A. "Come, let me clutch thee." B. "The handle toward my hand?" C. "I have thee not, and yet I see thee still." D. "Is this a dagger which I see before me"

Answers

These lines come from Macbeth's soliloquy (a speech given when a character shares his thoughts alone on stage) in Act 2, Scene 1.

At this point in the play, Macbeth is preparing to kill Duncan. Not surprisingly, Macbeth's nerves are starting to get to him a bit. At this point, Macbeth still has the ability to turn back and refuse to commit this awful deed. 

The speech begins "Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand?" At this point, Macbeth may have just happened upon a dagger and is surprised to see one in his path. These lines do not make it explicitly clear that Macbeth is imagining things, although they do begin to pave the way for the idea.

A few lines later, however, the idea that Macbeth is seeing things becomes clearer. He says "I have thee not, and yet I see thee still." At this point, Macbeth says, "I am not holding you, but I can still see you." It appears that a dagger is just floating in front of him, since even Macbeth admits he is not holding it. 

Macbeth then goes on to say that this is a "fatal vision," "A dagger of the mind, a false creation." He now seems to be aware that this dagger is not physically present and is instead just a creation of his mind. 

Therefore, the best answer (and the one that provides evidence that the dagger Macbeth sees is an illusion) is C. "I have thee not, and yet I see thee still."
The answer is C Because the quote sys that he has no dagger yet there is a dagger right in front of him

Explanation: PLATO

By the mid-nineteenth century, the Romantic period in Europe and Great Britain was coming to a close. What criticisms of the movement do you think the artists and writers of this period made against Romanticism? What common characteristics would you expect to find in the works of the late 19th century? Your answer should be at least one hundred words.

Answers

Romanticism may best be defined as a type of artistic movement from the late 18th century until the mid to late 19th century. It focuses with a certain glorification and strong emotional attachment to nature, the human condition, and certain events that leave a reaction of awe or imaginative escape for the consumer. By the middle of the 19th century, Realism began to replace Romanticism, with artists criticizing Romanticism for its failure of depicting the truth to contemporary life and events accurately. Realism focused on the literal depictions of daily life during the Industrial and Scientific Revolution, both dominating the western culture of the 19th century.

By the mid-nineteenth century, several global political and social movements popularized the concept of Realism, which slowly replaced Romanticism. Romanticism was a social and cultural movement that characterized much of the late eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century. Romanticism required an escape from reality, and the artist provided the people space, where they would escape to, to get a moment’s freedom from the daily drudgeries of life. Romanticism required the creation of an imaginary world, where a man could leave behind his troubles temporarily, and seek a moment’s salvation.  

Further Explanation:

Romanticism provided humans a channel to communicate with nature and its beauty, the inner self, and appreciate the beauty of the imaginary world created to let them escape their troubles. However, as the world progressed and modernization came in, the common man tried to find beauty in reality of his condition, and preferred situations to remain as they were. The truth of daily life became much easier for humans to accept. In the late 19th century, artists understood the importance and the urge of humans to accept reality, and present the beauty in the drudgery of daily life. Humans no longer sought an imaginary world but learned to make peace with the booming economy and industry. Commercialization and industrial progress somewhat fulfilled their basic needs, giving them a chance at survival. The works of the late nineteenth century were replete with images of realism, that portrayed subjects in their original manner and environment. Truth became the main component of art.

in at least one hundred words, discuss how a humorous tone or satire can be a good way to make a serious point. Use selections from "Life Without Go-Go Boots" and "Uncle John's Farm" to support your explanation.

Answers

Humor and satire draw attention to the subject, making readers think about it. The more they think about it, the more they consider it a serious point. Consideration leads to more attention for the author, and therefore the author sells more books. See, everything ties back to commercialism! You know, if you think about it though, it's true. Humor and satire draw our attention because they make us laugh. We humans like to laugh, so of course, we will remember what made us laugh. So remembering it will make us consider it, and considering it makes us see it as a serious point.

Satire is a genre of literature in which the vices, shortcomings and excesses of a person, institution or society at large are held up to ridicule. Satire often has a social or political purpose, as the writing is often meant to shame these entities into improvement.

Satire most often uses humorous language, but this does not mean that it cannot deal with serious topics. In fact, satire is especially useful when we need to address a serious, difficult topic, and offer social criticism, in a nonthreatening way. This is the case with "Uncle John's Farm." Although the author talks about serious topics, such as slavery and racism, he does so in a way that proves to be more accessible and less threatening than it would be if these topics were discussed in a serious tone.

The author implies that in order to really boost the imagination of the reader, the author should have a strong sense of where their story is taking place.

The second set of authors he gives as an example are authors who build completely new worlds of their own. In all examples, "place" or setting is really well described.

What do lines 1-4 reveal about Rosa

Answers

Final answer:

Lines 1-4 of the Libre Texts™ description depict Rosa as a bronze sculpture characterized by both a sense of liberation from traditional forms and an intentional incompletion. The artist has left parts of the sculpture roughly formed, suggesting potential for further evolution, and uses yellow paint to hint at clothing.

Explanation:

Based on the description from Libre Texts™, lines 1-4 reveal Rosa as a bronze sculpture with a sense of liberation and incompletion. The female form stands separate from the background, which often contains emergent, partially formed figures. Rosa’s body, arms, and legs are complete but roughly formed, indicating a work that is both finished and yet unfinished. Her feet merging with the platform, along with undefined fingers and a face still hidden in the material, suggests a sculpture in the midst of becoming, embodying a certain rawness and potential for further definition.

The application of yellow paint implies the possible presence of clothing, adding another layer to interpret. Overall, these lines suggest that Rosa is a dynamic piece, which the artist has intentionally left in a state of rough definition, offering a stark contrast to the more refined or completed sculptures that viewers might be accustomed to seeing.

discuss why President Kennedy employed the rhetorical techniques used in his Rice Stadium Moon Speech.

Answers

On September 12th, 1962, President John F. Kennedy ascended a podium in front of a large crowd gathered at Rice University in Houston, Texas, and prepared to give a speech that would dramatically shape the direction of the United States’ efforts over the following decade. Indeed, his speech would mark the beginning of a bold new era for humanity; an era of exploration and innovation in outer space. The context and circumstances of President Kennedy’s “we go to the moon speech,” delivered near the height of the Cold War and at the beginning of the “space race” between the United States and the Soviet Union, were enormously significant. The Soviet satellite “Sputnik” had been beeping overhead for 4 years, and only one year prior Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin had become the first human being in history to enter space. The United States was rapidly losing the race into space, and in turn a competition in technological supremacy and prestige, to its Cold War adversary. The American public was on the verge of panic over the implications of a “Red Moon.”  President Kennedy needed to forge a  new direction for the United States, one that would excite and energize the American public and reestablish American eminence in global affairs. And so, on that day in September, 1962, he did just that, powerfully declaring that the United States would “go to the Moon before the decade was out.” The lasting significance of his speech, and its resounding success as an example of skillful rhetoric and persuasion, was demonstrated when American astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk the Moon’s surface in 1969.  This paper briefly analyzes Kennedy’s speech, highlighting its main points and the rhetorical tools he  so successfully employed. In it, I endeavor to point out the elements which allow this speech to still resonate strongly over 60 years past its delivery.

Kennedy’s speech can be broken into 4 main parts and points, each of which play a significant role in the overall construction of his message. He begins by addressing the various distinguished guests and members of the audience to whom he is making his speech. He continues by expressing his gratitude for the opportunity he has been given to speak, and touches upon the prominence of Rice University as a center of learning and knowledge. Such an introduction is merely a formality, yet it establishes a significant rapport between the audience and himself. By immediately establishing such a connection, Kennedy has made the audience more susceptible to agreeing with the content with will follow. His declaration of Rice University as “a college noted for knowledge” further establishes the underlying premise of his speech, that of a new era for exploration, learning, and discovery. Though Kennedy does not expressly delineate the main points or thesis of his speech in this introduction, he neverless braces the audience for what is to come. Indeed, for the purpose of this speech, such a choice was perhaps for the best; it allows the build up to and ultimate culmination of his thesis to be much more exciting and unexpected, and therefore more profound.

The first point Kennedy addresses in the body of his speech is the breakneck pace at which technology, knowledge, and discovery has evolved. He condenses 50,000 years of human history into an allegorical half-century, declaring that “10 years ago, under this standard, man emerged from his caves.” Only five years ago, he states, man learned to write, and less than two months ago, the steam engine was developed. Therefore, should American spacecraft successfully soon reach Venus and American astronauts land on the Moon, we will have “literally reached the stars before midnight tonight.”  Such is an incredibly powerful analogy, one that undoubtedly excited the audience sitting before Kennedy. He demonstrated to them that they were living at a time of rapid development, rapid change, and rapid advancement. To think that humanity had only emerged from its cave “10 years ago,” and by “midnight tonight” would be reaching for the stars! Kennedy undoubtedly recognized that he was speaking to an audience of scientists, engineers, and students, who understood the profundity of such breakneck advancement. By opening the body of his speech with this point, Kennedy is preparing the audience for the bold ambitions he will soon declare. Change is happening and change is

Se-hun the wolf was the Omega of the pack. She was constantly being bullied and taunted for her strangely colored coat, which was dark brown. One day a group of hunters entered the forest, all looking to hunt wolves. 

The rest of the pack all scrambled and hid to get away from the hunters. This would have worked if they didn't have such bright pelts. When the hunters were searching all of the other wolves wished they had pelts like Se-hun's coat.

The hunters took the entire pack, but Se-hun hid in a tree, where she blended in. If she had the alpha's golden fur she would have been seen by the hunters. The hunters left the forest without ever seeing Se-hun.

Moral of the story: Differences aren't allways bad.

This could probably use some revising, but i tried. Hope this helps.


The Woodman and the Serpent One wintry day a Woodman was tramping home from his work when he saw something black lying on the snow. When he came closer he saw it was a Serpent to all appearance dead. But he took it up and put it in his bosom to warm while he hurried home. As soon as he got indoors he put the Serpent down on the hearth before the fire. The children watched it and saw it slowly come to life again. Then one of them stooped down to stroke it, but thc Serpent raised its head and put out its fangs and was about to sting the child to death. So the Woodman seized his axe, and with one stroke cut the Serpent in two. "Ah," said he, "No gratitude from the wicked."

Information about river rocks, geese, water fowl, and rivers would not be enough to show that there are extraordinary geysers and hot springs.
