Answer:
The RUF tattoo showed that a person was a rebel (or belonged to the Revolutionary United Front (RUF)) during the Sierra Leone war.
So the person is marked out for persecution as a rebel. The sign tells of affiliation with the Revolutionary United Front, a deadly militia during the war.
Explanation:
Ishmael Beah's "A Long Way Gone" book (2007) chronicled the most important war stories that brought Sierra Leone to its knees. It showed that children under the age of 18 were forcibly recruited to fight a war of attrition in the West African nation during the 1990s. The war devastated the country and its neighbors for more than a decade. Many people were left without limbs after the war, as many other atrocities and war crimes were concurrently committed by various armies.

To what extent do you agree that success can only be measured by wealth and power?
Answer:
Success can be measure in terms of wealth and power only to a partial degree. In other words, wealth and power are a partial measure of success.
Explanation:
This is because it would be unwise to deny that a wealthy and powerful person is likely to be successful, but this does not mean that said person is successful in every single aspect of their lives.
Their personal lives may be a wreck, they may not be healthy, they may even be in jail (and still be powerful and wealthy), so in order to measure success in a more holistically way, more factors other than power and wealthy should be taken into account.

Explanation:
Read the poem below and answer the question. That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. In me thou sees the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west; Which by and by black night doth take away, Death's second self that seals up all in rest. In me thou seest the glowing of such fire That on the ashes of his youth doth lie, As the deathbed whereon it must expire, Consumed with that which it was nourished by. This thou perceivst, which makes thy love more strong, To love that well, which thou must leave ere long.
The theme of love _____.
is introduced in the final couplet
is introduced in the first stanza
is introduced in the second stanza
is introduced in the third stanza
Answer:
is introduced in the final couplet
Explanation:
In the first three quatrains of the Sonnet 73, Shakespeare provides the imagery of aging of the speaker. In the first quatrain, the speaker compares his age to the falling of the leaves. The second quatrain makes the speaker draw the imagery o twilight and compare it with that of his life. In the third quatrain the speaker draws a comparison of his life to the ashes left after the burning of fire. In the couplet, the speaker urges to grow love because the time to take part from the world would be soon arriving to him. The poet wants to emphasize more one love than the aging.

How is one person able to influence a crowd? Give examples of how this can be positive and give examples of how this can be negative.
Imagine Hitler. With just himself and his nazi party, he convinced everyone in Germany into starting another world war! This could be a terrible effect as we saw that he dominated Europe if it wasn't for the United States of America.
Now imagine Washington, He led the army into defeating Britain, one of the most feared Country in Europe that dominated Naval situations. He influenced everyone in "developing America" to fight with him.
So one person influences another person by siding with an opinion that is very popular. At the time Hitler was "elected" because He sided with the opinion, "I need food, help me" so he became very popular among a very popular opinion. If you were Hitler and you sided with an opinion, Pollution is bad! we need to get rid of it! No one would side with you because There is a more important opinion of starvation than pollution.
hope this helps!
Answer:
One person is able to influence a crowd depending on the crowd that they are trying to have a toll on. People usually follow a particular person when they are doing something that they think is cool and/or, causes other people to get to like that person. It is true that this can be positive or negative.
Explanation:
Positive: One person in a school dresses with clothes that are within the school rules, unlike everyone else who wears inappropriate black and white clothes, and they start wearing a clothing style similar to the different person's, eventually becoming a trend.
Negative: Someone in school starts skipping school, and others start to do the same.

I get to know the owners and employees, and it supports the local people, not a big corporation. A few years ago, I was hanging out at a local store because I was friends with the owner, and a drunk homeless man came in shouting. We ended up calling the non-emergency police line and he was taken to a homeless shelter.
