Answer:Sandra Cisneros is a Mexican-American author born in Chicago, Illinois in 1954. She is best known for her influential writing, which explores themes of cultural identity and belonging.
Cisneros grew up in a working-class family with six brothers, which inspired her to write about the experiences of Mexican-Americans in the United States. She attended Loyola University in Chicago, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in English in 1976, and later went on to receive a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop in 1978.
Cisneros became a writer because she wanted to tell the stories of her community and to give a voice to those who have been marginalized. She wanted to show the world that the Mexican-American experience is complex and multifaceted, and that there is no one way to define it.
Cisneros has written several books, including The House on Mango Street (1984), which is considered a seminal work in Chicano literature. This novel tells the story of a young Latina girl growing up in a poor neighborhood in Chicago, and explores themes of identity, gender, and class.
Other notable works by Cisneros include Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories (1991), which features a collection of short stories about the lives of Mexican-American women, and Caramelo (2002), which tells the story of a Mexican-American family's journey from Chicago to Mexico.
Through her writing, Cisneros explores a range of topics, including cultural identity, family, relationships, and gender. She is known for her lyrical and poetic style, and for her ability to capture the complexity of the Mexican-American experience. Her work has had a profound impact on contemporary literature, and continues to inspire readers around the world.

Read the passage. Then answer the question: " The Many Sides of Volunteering " ( Read Passage Now) ----> Most people agree that Volunteering is a positive experience. Volunteers give back to the community, provide meaningful assistance to people in need, and use their expand skills to improve the quality of life for others.

If you find a hurt animal that you're able to help, is it moral to come to its rescue, as we would with a human? Or is it true compassion to let nature take its course? Explain your answer and provide specific examples from life, the stories you've heard, the movies you've seen or the books you've read.
Answer:
i personally think that you should help this animal because it probably got injured because of a human, and letting it die will make you fell bad later, for example, when you find a injured human, you dont just let it die there, you help him: then same with animals, right?
Explanation:
Answer:
Well it may depend on various things!
Case 1
If it has any connection to humans then without hesitation we should help it. I mean even indirectly it could have been hurt right? We humans are responsible for the degradation of this planet. We have caused so many animals to extinct that i guess its uncountable. If we are the smartest being then i guess it is our duty that no animal should be harmed from us. They have equal right to live here.
I think that helping hurt animals wont do any harm to nature.
But we should never make them dependent totally on us.
if we do so then the eco system can change..
Like if we find a hurt animal we should probably help it but we should let it go because we are not their home. Their home lies somewhere else! someone can be waiting for them.
Case 2
In this case for example you find a deer or any other animal being chased by lions then this case is natural. we shouldnt put our nose in! It is the nature's law that lion should eat deer. So helping it wont do any good because in the other side lion can die of hunger...
But still it depends on you yourself. Do what your heart says!

Explain whether snow days should or should not be replaced by e-days.
Support your argument with evidence from the text.
Answer:
Explanation:
When the severe weather alert flashes on the television screen and across the top of the Weather Channel app in February, every kid starts praying that the weather gets worse. They set their alarms for 5 a.m., hoping that when they look at their phone or computer screen they see their school among those on the snow day list. Anyone who grew up in the North knows the sheer joy that comes from an unexpected winter day off from school. Whether that means sleeping in, meeting friends at the park with sled in tow, or just a day off from schoolwork, snow days are a rare treat and a special part of school culture in the United States. In the dark, short days of winter, it’s these days that often give a boost to students—and teachers—as they wait for spring.
Anderson County School District 5, in South Carolina, announced this week that they would be getting rid of snow days and replacing them with “eLearning days.” Instead of having the day off, students would spend their day at their laptops completing schoolwork assigned that morning. This announcement likely sends a cold chill (no pun intended) through all students across cold-weather states. They wonder: Could their district be next? Anderson’s superintendent, Tom Wilson, describes this decision as making “good sense” and explains that snow days are a waste of time and resources. Wilson cites that schools have to make up the days in the summer. On snow days, staff and students have an unproductive day at home. But now, thanks to technology, kids no longer have to waste a day because of inclement weather. However, the question is: What if snow days aren’t a waste?
As well-intentioned as replacing snow days with “eLearning days” is, this school district might be underestimating the value of this day off from school. Of course, there is the expense of extending the school year and students missing a day of instruction. But most educators, and all students, can speak to the value of that unscheduled day away from classrooms. School districts need to consider a few things before abolishing the snow day.

Read this excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller. Based on the excerpt, what are Keller’s feelings about the learning differences between children who hear and children who are deaf?
I had now the key to all language, and I was eager to learn to use it. Children who hear acquire language without any particular effort; the words that fall from others' lips they catch on the wing, as it were, delightedly, while the little deaf child must trap them by a slow and often painful process. But whatever the process, the result is wonderful. Gradually from naming an object we advance step by step until we have traversed the vast distance between our first stammered syllable and the sweep of thought in a line of Shakespeare.
A.
Children who hear learn to communicate naturally, while deaf children must overcome obstacles.
B.
Children who are deaf understand difficult language such as Shakespeare with ease.
C.
Children who hear undergo a slow and painful process to learn, while deaf children do not.
D.
Children who are deaf undergo the same gradual process to learn as children who hear.
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
She explains how those who can hear van grasp the words naturally but those who are deaf need more time since they can't hear.
(ON PLATO)
The correct answer is...
A. Children who hear learn to communicate naturally, while deaf children must overcome obstacles.

In your experience, how do we define the roles of men and women? Are these roles helpful,
or are they limiting? What are the possibilities and problems that can come with rejecting
these roles? Cite evidence from this text, your own experience, and other literature, art, or
history in your answer.
Answer:
Roles of women: house work (cleaning), raising children, sewing, babysitting, shopping at grocery stores for items for meal preparation.
Roles of men: A steady income, college educated, getting women pregnant and having a large family with at least two boys.
Explanation: The possibilities of having the above mentioned done would be that you can have multiple grandchildren in the many decades down the road, a way to make things to go in your house rather than hiring people to come in a decorate your home, you have an outlet from your husbands or wives job by bouncing in between jobs (wife/husband), having the ability to carry on the family name which in certain cultures are socially acceptable, and that when you are college educated you become a more well rounded individual in society.
My only two cites that I can give to the above mentioned would be this:
1.) My life is similar to this as I am a high school student trying to get to college to get a degree in the arts and....
2.) The movie "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood"

Read the excerpt from “Mowgli’s Brothers."
A black shadow dropped down into the circle. It was Bagheera the Black Panther, inky black all over, but with the panther markings showing up in certain lights like the pattern of watered silk. Everybody knew Bagheera, and nobody cared to cross his path, for he was as cunning as Tabaqui, as bold as the wild buffalo, and as reckless as the wounded elephant. But he had a voice as soft as wild honey dripping from a tree, and a skin softer than down.

Which words from the excerpt best create a fearful tone?

wild, wounded, down
cunning, bold, reckless
shadow, dropped, markings
The words that most likely creates a fearful 'tone' would be as follows:
C). Cunning, bold, reckless.
“Mowgli’s Brothers"The words "cunning, bold, and reckless" most effectively develop an anxious and petrifying tone.
This shows the author's perspective that the modulation had been quite terror-stricken.
The descriptions like "black-shadow...nobody cared to cross" further substantiate the fear that was faced by all the animals there.
Thus, option C is the correct answer.
