It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people - women as well as men. And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government - the ballot.

It allows the reader to see the contrast between the dog's sensible thoughts and the man's illogical thoughts.


It gives the reader access to only the man's thoughts and feelings, which makes the reader realize how overconfident he is.

It allows the reader to experience the story through the man's view, which allows readers to feel compassion for this character.

It uses the pronoun "you" to place the reader directly in the story, which adds to the theme of loneliness in nature.

Answers

Answer:

It allows the reader to see the contrast between the dog's sensible thoughts and the man's illogical thoughts.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Since an omniscient narrator has full knowledge of details hidden to other characters in the story, we can guess based on this.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reasoning:

"It allows the reader to see the contrast between the dog's sensible thoughts and the man's illogical thoughts." This sentence shows that the reader knows secretive details about the man and dog.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"It gives the reader access to only the man's thoughts and feelings, which makes the reader realize how overconfident he is." This sentence makes the story non-omniscient by tying down our perspective to the man's P.O.V.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"It allows the reader to experience the story through the man's view, which allows readers to feel compassion for this character." This sentence makes the story non-omniscient by tying down our perspective to the man's P.O.V.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"It uses the pronoun "you" to place the reader directly in the story, which adds to the theme of loneliness in nature." This sentence does not relate to the fact the story is omniscient. It is only describing the theme and word choice.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conclusion:

Since neither the 3rd, 4th, or 2nd sentences do not explain that we know hidden knowledge, it is the 1st sentence.

Read the following stories.

Hansel and Gretel

Hansel and Gretel's mother had passed away a year ago, and their father had remarried a wicked woman. There was something evil about their stepmother, and the kids knew she wanted their father all to herself. She hated Hansel and Gretel and was always very cruel to them. One day, Hansel and Gretel's evil stepmother had them doing chores around the house. She refused to feed them, and they grew very hungry. Hansel stole a piece of bread from the kitchen when their stepmother wasn't looking. When he returned with it, Gretel suggested that they run away through the woods to eat it. Hansel didn't want to get lost in the woods, so he decided to mark their trail with small black and white stones that he had stolen from his father's box of checkers. As they ran deeper into the woods, Hansel dropped checkers here and there to mark the way home.

Suddenly, they came upon a house that was entirely made of candy. Having only eaten a tiny bit of bread, Hansel and Gretel were starving. They began picking off gumdrops and stuffing their faces with the candy from the outside of the house. Then, a lovely, old lady emerged from the house. She invited them in and offered them even more candy and cake. At first, Hansel and Gretel were ecstatic for the treats, but they soon became uncomfortable around the woman. She explained that she had never had children of her own, so she built a house of candy hoping one day some children would come along so she could keep them. She was very lonely. Hansel and Gretel did not want to be kept like pets, and they wanted to go home to their father. They rushed out of the house and ran as fast as they could. They followed their checkers home until they ran into the loving embrace of their father, who had been up worrying about them. He cursed his wife for being so cruel to his children, and Hansel and Gretel promised that they would never run away again.

Johnnie and Grizzle

Johnnie and Grizzle were the children of a very poor woodcutter and his wife. Their father warned their mother that he feared they would soon have to get rid of the children. Otherwise, he thought they would all starve. Their mother begged and pleaded with their father. She couldn't bear to lose her children, but their father could see no other way for them to survive. They were too poor to buy food for everyone. He planned to lead the children out into the woods in the hopes that they might find food and learn to survive on their own. Johnnie and Grizzle heard about their father's plan. They collected all of their trinkets and toys to sell them to help earn money. They packed up a large bag, but their father interrupted their packing. He said that they were going to go out on a family walk through the woods.

Johnnie was scared that their father would abandon them out in the woods. However, Grizzle assured Johnnie that she had a plan. As they walked, she dropped trinkets and little toys along the way to mark a path. Eventually, their father left them and ran back through the woods towards their house. They were alone and figured that they should let their father get a head start. They didn't want to get caught following him back home. As they waited, they looked around them. That's when Johnnie spotted something remarkable. He found a house entirely made of gingerbread and candy. Still starving, Johnnie and Grizzle began to chomp away at the candy decorations. They even chewed their way through the gingerbread walls. They had never seen such delicacies in all their life! Suddenly, a cruel-looking old woman came rushing out of the candy house. She was furious that the children had begun to eat her home. She threatened the children as she cursed at them. Johnnie and Grizzle ran terrified back through the woods, following their trail of trinkets home. Their mother greeted them with open arms. Their father cried and begged for his children's forgiveness. He promised that he would be a better father and find a way to take care of them so that they should never have to leave the home or fear going hungry.

Write a pharagraph about Malala Yousafzai

Answers

Hey! I did a project on Malala Yousafzai a little while back and thought I could help.

Malala Yousafzai was born on July 12, 1997. When Malala was born, she was not respected by her mother as much as she was respected by her father. In her time, boys were celebrated when they were born- girls were not. She grew up with two brothers who supported her constantly. At 11 years old, Malala had a blog, which she shared her views on education and told about life in her own town. At that time, Swat had become under Taliban control. Since it was under their control, they forced a large amount of schools to close and they banned girls from Swat to attend schools. When the Pakistani military launched a campaign that drove power away from the Taliban's, they reopened school. The Taliban still remained active in the region, but did not have as much power as before. In 2012 while riding a bus, Malala was shot in the head by terrorists because of her campaign for the education of girls. Malala survived, and today still continues to make a difference for young girls around the world. In 2015, Yousafzai opened a school in Lebanon for Syrian refugee girls. In 2017, she became the youngest person to be named a UN Messenger of Peace. UN Messengers of Peace are chosen from the fields of literature, art, science, entertainment, sports, and other areas of public life. Their role is to help focus global attention on the work and ideals of the United Nations. Yousafzai's role included a special focus on girls' education. Malala Yousafzai was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014. At age 17, she became the youngest person to ever receive the prize.

This was way too much- but I'm sure you can summarize a bit. I hope this helps.

sorry but i cant *sarcasm*

Malala Yousafzai

Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate. She is known mainly for human rights advocacy for education and for women in her native Swat Valley in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of northwest Pakistan, where the local Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school. Malala’s advocacy has since grown into an international movement.

Malala was born on July 12, 1997 in the Swat District of Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, into a Sunni Muslim family of Pashtun ethnicity.

Her family runs a chain of schools in the region. In early 2009, when she was 11-12, Malala wrote a blog under a pseudonym for the BBC detailing her life under Taliban occupation, their attempts to take control of the valley, and her views on promoting education for girls in the Swat Valley. The following summer, journalist Adam B. Ellick made a New York Times documentary about her life as the Pakistani military intervened in the region. Malala rose in prominence, giving interviews in print and on television, and she was nominated for the International Children’s Peace Prize by South African activist Desmond Tutu.

On the afternoon of October 9, 2012, Malala boarded her school bus in the northwest Pakistani district of Swat. A gunman asked for her by name, then pointed a pistol at her and fired three shots. One bullet hit the left side of her forehead, travelled under her skin through the length of her face, and then went into her shoulder. In the days immediately following the attack, she remained unconscious and in critical condition, but later her condition improved enough for her to be sent to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, England, for intensive rehabilitation. On October 12, a group of 50 Islamic clerics in Pakistan issued a fatwa against those who tried to kill her, but the Taliban reiterated their intent to kill Malala and her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai. The assassination attempt sparked a national and international outpouring of support for Malala. Deutsche Welle wrote in January 2013 that Malala may have become “the most famous teenager in the world. United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education Gordon Brown launched a UN petition in Malala’s name, demanding that all children worldwide be in school by the end of 2015; it helped lead to the ratification of Pakistan’s first Right to Education Bill.

The 2013, 2014 and 2015 issues of Time magazine featured Malala as one of “The 100 Most Influential People in the World”. She was the winner of Pakistan’s first National Youth Peace Prize, and the recipient of the 2013 Sakharov Prize. In July that year, she spoke at the headquarters of the United Nations to call for worldwide access to education, and in October the Government of Canada announced its intention that its parliament confer Honorary Canadian citizenship upon Malala. In February 2014, she was nominated for the World Children’s Prize in Sweden.

Even though she was fighting for women’s rights as well as children’s rights, she did not describe herself as feminist when asked on Forbes Under-30 Summit in 2014. In 2015, however, Malala told Emma Watson she decided to call herself a feminist after hearing Watson’s speech at the UN launching the HeForShe campaign.

In May 2014, Malala was granted an honorary doctorate by the University of King’s College in Halifax. Later in 2014, Malala was announced as the co-recipient of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize, along with Kailash Satyarthi, for her struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education. Aged 17 at the time, Malala became the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate. She was the subject of Oscar-shortlisted 2015 documentary He Named Me Malala.

to award something in a ceremony is the definition of the phrase to present is most similar to the way it is used in the sentence above.

What is Ceremony?

A ceremony is a coordinated ceremonial event conducted for a specific purpose and typically incorporates several artistic elements. The Latin word ceremonial may have led to the word's Etruscan origins.

The average wedding ceremony lasts between 20 and 30 minutes, which is sufficient time to cover the essentials (words of welcome, a few readings, your vows, the ring exchange, and the final pronouncement).

The invisible components of psychological stability, a feeling of identity, assurances of life's goals, and a person's sense of self-worth are all influenced by ceremonies. Quality rituals have a strange cultural power that guides our society toward a moral and upright course.

Even though technology has altered how people live, ceremonies support the preservation of life's fundamental elements. Through ceremonies, individuals commemorate significant occasions and life milestones and offer support to one another through difficult times. As long as people live, rituals will be performed.

Use evidence from the text, boxes of fossils and rock strata diagram and scientific reasoning to support your response.this is the reading:The Precambrian: In Maryland the rocks found from the Precambrian period are metamorphic and igneous. No fossils have been positively identified from these rocks thus far. The Paleozoic: The Paleozoic era in Maryland was a time of changing sea levels. The sedimentary rocks contain abundant marine fossils, indicating the presence of warm, shallow seas. A period of uplift and mountain building occurs later in the area and was followed by a time of erosion and subsidence (the gradual sinking of land). During times of subsidence, the seas returned and flooded the lands. These cycles of uplift and flooding led to alternating deposition of non-marine and marine sediments. Brachiopods and bryozoans were abundant in the sea, while horsetail rushes and scale trees thrived in the warm, humid, Late Paleozoic climate on land. The Mesozoic: Plate movement pulled apart the supercontinent of Pangea. The area that is now Maryland filled with sediment creating a coastal region where fossils of plants and dinosaur footprints can be found. Late in the Mesozoic (Cretaceous), seas advanced and retreated across the coastal plain numerous times, providing habitats that ranged from land organisms to deep sea organisms. Fossils of plants and dinosaurs are common in the terrestrial deposits, while marine fossils include mollusks and brachiopods. The Cenozoic: During the Early Cenozoic in Maryland, sea level fluctuated, leaving marine deposits in coastal areas. The climate cooled later in the Cenozoic, vast ice sheets advanced and retreated across North America, and sea levels dropped as the glaciers expanded. The cooler temperatures encouraged the growth of new types of plants, while mastodons and other cold-adapted animals roamed the state. During warmer climate periods (interglacial), sea levels again rose to cover the eastern part of the state. Fossils of marine clams, oysters, and snails are abundant in the rocks formed during these interglacial episodes.
