In the space below, write a 500-word essay in which you clearly state Gates's conclusions about Phillis Wheatley and
whether you agree or disagree with his opinion. Use evidence from Gates's lecture, the research you've conducted, and
Wheatley's work to support your opinion.

Answers

Answer 1

Today, in America, people, neighborhoods, and businesses are more likely to be diverse and tolerant of various cultures, and the professionalism of other ethnic groups that are not white. Back in the 1700s and 1800s, this was not case. In the essay "Phillis Wheatley On Trial", Gates shows how white people believe that black people were uneducated and incapable of producing professional work. In the essay, "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain", Hughes shows how black people view white people as the symbol of culture, professionalism, and education. Gates states in his essay, "Phillis Wheatley on Trial", "culture did, or could, belong equally to everyone. I agree with Gates wholeheartedly.

I agree with Gates because although Phillis Wheatley was a slave, her master allowed her to read and a write. Mary Wheatley, the master's daughter, taught her to read and write English, Latin, and the Bible. The Wheatley clearly believed that culture belongs to everyone including black people. Some people just make it very challenging. In the poem "On Imagination" by Phillis Wheatley, I guess she was talking about how everyone has a different perspective on things, so that is probably how those white people felt. Furthermore, Phillis Wheatley had to understand that culture belongs to everyone. She wrote poems that became popular over time and spread across Europe. She created a poem for George Washington in a letter she wrote to him.

In Hughes's essay "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain" he talks about how some black people want to be white people cause they were taught that white people are the leaders of culture, professionalism, and education. Hughes' essay talks about this black boy who wants to be a poet but not a black poet. This boy did not want to be black poet because black poets were not associated with greatness compared to white poets. I think it is sad not being yourself because of what other people say. He developed this perception because his parents always told him how white people were better or something like that. Some black people even hated their own kind just because they are successful. For example, in Hughes' essay, a black club woman paid eleven dollars to hear Raquel Meller sing Andalusian popular songs but did not want to hear Clara Smith, a great black artist, sing black songs. I gathered from Hughes' essay that devaluing your own culture is not a smart thing to do. It is wise to learn to accept differences in people, not just culturally and racially but gender and physical disabilities. Otherwise, you will have a hard and lonely life ahead.

United States is the melting pot of culture, arts, and ethnicity. It is a perfect example how culture belongs to everyone although we are still learning how to shape our attitude about our cultural differences. Based upon how you were raised, some culture are less desirable than others. However, having negative feelings without knowing the reason why is wrong and unfair. Now is the time for us to improve our attitudes about cultural diversity and know in our heart, just as Hughes states, "culture did, or could, belong equally to everyone".

PLEASE HELP. i beg you guys Suppose that you encounter a fortune-teller that knows everything about the past, present, and future. If you were to ask this fortune-teller about some future event, then this person would be able tell you exactly what will be the case. The fortune-teller is never wrong. Since this fortune-teller is able to state what will be the case for all events, do we have the freedom to act otherwise? In other words, do we have the freedom of choice to act other than what we actually do? We ordinarily think that we are making genuine choices and these choices shape the person that we become. If I were to choose between act (A) and act (B), then I think it is equally possible to pick either (A) or (B). However, the fortune-teller knows that I will pick (A) before I even consider the choice. So was it really possible to pick (B

Answers

1) You do have the freedom to act only if you are doing good for the world.

2) There is no chance/probability of picking act(B) because the fortune teller already know that you will be picking act(A). Even if you were to pick act(B), the fortune teller will know it beforehand.

The fortune teller is always going to say the truth. So he/she can read your mind clearly. If the teller is good he will definitely judge your choices on changing the world; if bad, then he/she will probably leave you to make bad choices which will bring you alone in trouble. The best thing you could do to change the world to a better place is to ask the teller or someone smarter for some advices before you decide.

This example is trying to teach you the terms "Pre-destination" and "freewill". Essentially, it is trying to say that if everything is pre-destined by God (or to make it secular, the fortune-teller), do you still have free-will to choose what you want to do.

The answer is, yes, you do have freewill. When you are on the spot, you are given choices, and you are able to choose the choice you want to make, even if the fortune-teller/God already knows what you are going to take.

Let us take an extremely greedy person who only thinks to benefit himself for example. If such a person is asked if they would rather take $1.00 to 25¢, while you may not know what he will take before hand, you can have a really good idea of what he will take, which is the $1.00. Predestination makes it so that it is 100% certain that he will take the $1.00. However, he still technically has the choice of taking the 25¢ at that moment, and so he still has free choice.

It is possible that you will take choice B, but given the human nature, you will take choice A. It has already been predestined to you, and your voluntary choice is drawn towards Choice A because of the "greater" benefits that it brings.

Which paragraph best reveals a character's change of perspective?

Answers

Answer:

sorry the attachment is not clear.

The third paragraph is the one that most effectively illustrates a character's shift in viewpoint. In this passage, the main character initially thinks that having money and other belongings will make her happy.

However, the character changes and discovers that true happiness comes from connections and interactions with other people as a result of a number of events and encounters. The protagonist states their desire for wealth and their conviction that it will make them happy at the beginning of the paragraph.

But as the text goes on, the character begins to doubt this notion. They encounter a wealthy but miserable person, which prompts them to reconsider their own viewpoint. Additionally, when the character performs deeds of love and selflessness, they occasionally feel actual delight and fulfillment.

Their prior belief that material items are the ultimate source of happiness is called into question by these encounters. The viewpoint of the character changed at the conclusion of the paragraph. They now realize that fostering connections, doing good deeds, and seeking purpose outside of monetary gain are the keys to achieving true pleasure.

Read the following introduction for a research paper on drama and answer the question.
The Renaissance of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in England saw a great dramatic revival of the
old Greek and Roman classics and a new interest in a native British drama. English playwrights seized the
opportunity to combine the best of these two drama forms to create the Elizabethan and Jacobean drama,
the best in English literature and possibly in the world (Schultz 88). Chief among these playwrights was

William Shakespeare, the most respected playwright of all time. The theater of this period was quite popular.
Though the actors were still all men, the masks had disappeared; and costumes, props, and sets had taken
their place (McCredie 21). During the Renaissance, the theater began to come of age ("Renaissance" 4).
Although drama had its ups and downs in the years that followed, it was at last firmly established as an
acceptable and valuable form of literature.

How high do you think the gas station prices are going to get ? why is the current situation with Ukraine affecting us here in the states ? answer in two paragraphs

Answers

Answer:

Russia’s attack on Ukraine comes at a vulnerable time for economies around the world. Inflation is already at a worrisome level, consumers are paying more for basic goods across the board, and the global supply chain is still recovering from pandemic disruptions. The invasion, which has upended geopolitics and threatens a humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, put stocks on a roller coaster and sent the price of wheat, oil and other commodities higher Thursday. Here, we answer some questions on how this might continue to play out for the economy and what this means for consumers in the U.S. and California.

Russia and Ukraine are major producers of a range of commodities — oil, natural gas, grains, metals — whose prices rise during big global events such as war. Those higher prices eventually ripple to grocery stores and the gas pump, and this conflict is no different. The U.S. imports relatively little from Russia directly, but what happens there and in Europe has wide knock-on effects. Russia is the world’s second-biggest natural gas producer, behind the U.S., and it is among the top three in oil production, along with the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, supplying about 10% of what’s consumed worldwide. (Higher oil prices in global markets translate directly to higher prices at your gas station — gasoline is one of many products made from crude oil.)
