Explanation:
I have trouble believing Mr. Sawicki's characterization of Steve, because he knows Steve only in school. Since Mr. Sawicki does not know Steve outside of school, he cannot make a judgment about what Steve has been doing in his neighborhood or who his friends are. Sawicki says Steve is honest, but even if Steve is good or honest in Mr. Sawicki's opinion, good people can still make mistakes.
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
I have trouble believing Mr. Sawicki's characterization of Steve, because he knows Steve only in school. Since Mr. Sawicki does not know Steve outside of school, he cannot make a judgment about what Steve has been doing in his neighborhood or who his friends are. Sawicki says Steve is honest, but even if Steve is good or honest in Mr. Sawicki's opinion, good people can still make mistakes.
What did you consider when you were writing your answer? Check all that apply.
what Mr. Sawicki says . what other people say . whether Steve is guilty or innocent . what Steve has said
Answer:
what Mr. Sawicki says
Explanation:
The answer shown in the text above was created considering only what Mr. Sawicki says about Steve. The answer states that Steve's characterization through what Mr. Sawicki says is not reliable. That's because Mr. Sawicki doesn't know Steve fully and only knows his behavior in one place, at school. Mr. Sawicki does not know anything about Steve and does not even know how he behaves outside of school, so he cannot say that Steve is honest. In other words, Mr. Sawicki's speech is imprecise, it lacks evidence and therefore cannot be trusted.

"Imagine" and the giver depict a world in which equality and peace is valued more than choice and loyalty. Which values are more important for a community?
Answer:
In a world, where peace and equality is more important cannot be imagined and maintained where choice and loyalty are not prioritized. How can someone be at peace if they are not given their rights to choose their own path and it certainly cannot be equality.
Loyalty towards the community and oneself is the only way to keep this world stable and the deficit of it in modern times is the reason behind the disturbances around the globe.

Describe, in your own words, how Petrarch employs metaphor to express his ideas of unattainable love. Use examples from the text to support your argument.
Answer and Explanation:
Petrarch uses metaphors in his poem to intensify the idealization of the beloved woman, the loneliness of not getting her and even how the speaker of the poem feels about an unattainable love. The use of a figure of speech allows Petrarch to associate love with intense, yet subjective and poetic concepts, enriching his text and promoting a broad understanding of the feelings he wishes to convey, all involving love and the impossibility of having it.
An example of the use of metaphor can be seen when Petrarch characterizes the beloved woman, stating that she is able to "make a paradise on earth" and that she is "the light I loved so much." In addition, he uses metaphor as showing how sad it feels to not reach love, when he says he feels like "In a great storm on an unprotected raft."
