Answer:
Because the supreme goal of everyone's lives is to be happy, and to be loved.
Explanation:
If take a moment to think about WHY you are doing something, the answer will always be because you want to be happy. People only act out of the desire to be happy. If someone decides to wash the dishes that night, its usually because they want to be perceived a certain way. If someone goes to war, its usually because they want to be a hero.

In the end, peoples actions all come down to the desire to be happy. One of the biggest that affect a person is how they are perceived. Because of this fact, people are constantly seeking self acceptance from others. They believe that if people love them, then they will be happy.

Can some some tell me a short summary of everyday use by alice walker?
Answer:
As the story begins, she hesitantly awaits the return of her eldest daughter Dee. Mama stands near her withdrawn and physically scarred younger daughter Maggie. As they await Dee's return, the reader is given details about Mama's life and her near estrangement with Dee. We learn that Dee always wanted more than her family history or Mama could offer her. While Dee is intelligent and driven, we get the clear sense that her accomplishments have come at the expense of her mother and little sister.
Dee finally shows up with a young man named Hakim-a-barber, whom Mama refers to as "Asalamalakim". Dee insists on being called by her new name, “Wangero”. Both Dee and her boyfriend are more intent on acquiring artifacts than actually connecting with Mama and Maggie. They rifle through Mama’s possessions in search of “authentic” pieces of old rural black life, a life that Dee has long ago divorced herself from. Dee makes a dozen or so patronizing insults, veiled as casual “chit-chat”, directed at Mama and Maggie. She insists on acquiring old quilts that are meant for Maggie. After enduring an emotional bludgeoning by her daughter, mama tells "Wangero" to take two other quilts not intended for Maggie and leave. Dee tells Maggie to make something of herself and ironically tells Mama that she doesn't understand her own heritage. Then both Dee and Hakim-a-barber climb into their car and disappear in a cloud of dust as quickly as they had arrived.
In the story, Rainsford changes his entire philosophy about hunting. Find and write down two lines – one from the beginning of the story and one toward the end – that show the change in Rainsford. Explain how the shift is shown through the lines you've chosen.
This question is about "The Most Dangerous Mind".
Answer:
Early in the story Rainsford is a hunter who cares little for the feeling of animals being hunted. At the end of the story, however, he is a hunt and perceives as animals, recognizing that they do not feel well.
Explanation:
Rainsford, at the beginning of history, is a great hunter and is on his way to the amazons to hunt a jaguar. Rainsford feels no remorse when hunting animals, on the contrary, this is an activity that gives him great pleasure. He doesn't care if the animals are suffering from it.
However, when Rainsford saw Zaroff's hunt, he sees that the thought he had before was totally incorrect. In the hunting position, he was able to understand the fear and despair in protecting his own life, which are very intense and disabling feelings many times. This means that at the end of the book, he understands how animals feel when hunting.
He constantly made __________ promises, never being very clear about what exactly he would do or how he would accomplish them, and in the end, he never really kept any of those promises.
A. obtuse
B. callous
C. apparent
D. nebulous
Answer:
I believe the answer is D, nebulous.
Explanation:
Refer to the poem "The Legend" to answer these questions.
In Chicago, it is snowing softly
and a man has just done his wash for the week.
He steps into the twilight of early evening,
carrying a wrinkled shopping bag
full of neatly folded clothes,
and, for a moment, enjoys
the feel of warm laundry and crinkled paper,
flannellike against his gloveless hands.
There's a Rembrandt glow on his face,
a triangle of orange in the hollow of his cheek
as a last flash of sunset
blazes the storefronts and lit windows of the street.
He is Asian, Thai or Vietnamese,
and very skinny, dressed as one of the poor
in rumpled suit pants and a plaid mackinaw,
dingy and too large.
He negotiates the slick of ice
on the sidewalk by his car,
opens the Fairlane's back door,
leans to place the laundry in,
and turns, for an instant,
toward the flurry of footsteps
and cries of pedestrians
as a boy – that's all he was –
backs from the corner package store
shooting a pistol, firing it,
once, at the dumbfounded man
who falls forward,
grabbing at his chest.
A few sounds escape from his mouth,
a babbling no one understands
as people surround him
bewildered at his speech.
The noises he makes are nothing to them.
The boy has gone, lost
in the light array of foot traffic
dappling the snow with fresh prints.
Tonight, I read about Descartes'
grand courage to doubt everything
except his own miraculous existence
and I feel so distinct
from the wounded man lying on the concrete
I am ashamed
Let the night sky cover him as he dies.
Let the weaver girl cross the bridge of heaven
and take up his cold hands.
–"The Legend,"
Garrett Hongo

Head coverings were probably the first forms of apparel put on by early humans, probably for protection from rain and sun. Hats for men have been considered proper fashion for centuries, but the popularity of hats, aside from baseball caps, declined in the second half of the 20th century. Now, in the early 21st century, the fashionable men's hat is seeing a resurgence in popularity. Led by styles such as the fedora and the panama, men are again choosing to add a "lid" to a stylish outfit when dressing up is required. Men are again finding that the hat is an accessory capable of expressing individuality and taste.

1.
Answer:
1. Autodidact
2. Ominous
3. Hydrophobia
Explanation:
Unfamiliar words are words that are strange to us because we do no use them every day. In order to understand these words, we could use several methods such as
1. The context in which the word was used. For example, note how I could decode the meaning of autodidact from this sentence. "His independent quest for knowledge turned him into an autodidact". I can decode from this sentence that the unfamiliar word means that the subject or person being talked about is self-taught.
2. Through other examples. "The approaching mob created a weird, strange, and ominous feeling in the little children". The fact that I know the meaning of the other words gives me the idea that the word ominous should mean a strange feeling because something bad is about to happen.
3. Through the root and suffix. Hydro means water while phobia means fear. Therefore, hydrophobia would mean the fear of water.

Which quote from the passage suggests conflict?
O "They quarrelled and bickered more than ever
among themselves.
O "Dave and Sol-leks alone were unaltered."
The breaking down of discipline likewise affected the
dogs in their relations with one another. They quarrelled
and bickered more than ever among themselves, till at
times the camp was a howling bedlam. Dave and Sol-leks
alone were unaltered, though they were made irritable by
the unending squabbling. Francois swore strange
barbarous oaths, and stamped the snow in futile rage,
and tore his hair. His lash was always singing among the
dogs, but it was of small avail. Directly his back was
turned they were at it again. He backed up Spitz with his
whip, while Buck backed up the remainder of the team.
Francois knew he was behind all the trouble, and Buck
knew he knew; but Buck was too clever ever again to be
caught red-handed. He worked faithfully in the harness,
for the toil had become a delight to him; yet it was a
greater delight slyly to precipitate a fight amongst his
mates and tangle the traces.

How does Lizabeth's character develop in "Marigolds"? Lizabeth comes to recognize that the world is too barren to create lasting beauty. Lizabeth changes her behavior after she recognizes that she needs to be a better example for her brother. Lizabeth learns that sympathy and understanding come from recognizing the truth about other people. Lizabeth matures when she recognizes that love is more powerful than hate.
Answer:

C. Lizabeth learns that sympathy and understanding come from recognizing the truth about other people.
Explanation:
Eugenia Collier's short story "Marigolds" takes place during the Great Depression. The main character, Lizabeth, is a 14-year-old girl who lives in a poor neighborhood. The poorest and ugliest of the houses belongs to Miss Lottie, however it is the house that has a most beautiful garden full of marigolds. Lizabeth, her brother, and the other kids in the neighborhood often throw rocks into the garden and call Miss Lottie a witch.
The main theme of the story is about maturing and developing empathy for others. Lizabeth, while throwing a tantrum, completely destroys the garden of marigolds. It is only then that she realizes she was simply projecting her anger about her family's awful situation in life. She is finally able to see that Miss Lottie's garden brings a little bit of beauty into this miserable world, where poor people can only remain poor. Lizabeth leaves her childhood behind when she understands who Miss Lottie is, as well as herself.

George Orwell said that Animal Farm was the first book in which he attempted "to fuse
political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole" rather than simply telling a story and
letting its themes and messages emerge more naturally. Did it work? Is Animal Farm literature,
or just a long argument about politics?
Answer:
just a long argument about politics
Answer:
well i got no clue what was up with that last answer but animal farm is more than a long argument about politics, it is a great piece of literature written to open your eyes to the world around you. It uses political and artistic forms to get its themes across to the reader, this may be hard to pick up on at first but by the end of the story the reader should understand at least the main theme about the cost and strain too much power can cause

A. please
B. just
C. The subject is implied
D. home
Answer:
c

The subject part has a subject only while the predicate contains the verb and object of the sentence.
