Read the excerpt from "The Telephone: A Truer Tale.” The story of the telephone’s invention in 1876 is one of hard work, determination, and triumph. Many accounts make it sound like a fairy tale. After all, it has a terrific happy ending in which the hero, Alexander Graham Bell, uses his astonishing new device to transmit the words "Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you.” However, the true story of how the telephone came to be is not quite as happy as most imagine. In fact, it is not a tale of triumph at all, but one of tragedy. What’s more, the first words ever spoken over a wire could not possibly have been uttered by Alexander Graham Bell, because he was only two years old at the time. Based on the excerpt, which statement best describes the author’s attitude toward Alexander Graham Bell? The author greatly dislikes Bell for taking credit for the invention of the telephone. The author feels pity for Bell because he is not the real inventor of the telephone. The author celebrates Bell even though he gives him only partial credit for the telephone. The author feels it is important to show that Bell was not the true inventor of the telephone.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The author feels it is important to show that Bell was not the true inventor of the telephone

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from "The Telephone: A Truer Tale", it is narrated that the invention of the telephone in 1876 was not as accurate as it has been widely publicised. The narrator is of the opinion that Alexander Graham Bell was not the inventor of the telephone because he was only two years old when it was invented and could not possibly have said those first words.

Based on this excerpt, the statement that describes the author’s attitude toward Alexander Graham Bell is that the author feels it is important to show that Bell was not the true inventor of the telephone.

The Hate You Give Ch. 11-15

Answers

Answer:

Remy’s insensitive protest demonstrates how white communities co-opt black experiences and movements for their own ends. This protest actively hurts Starr by forcing her to watch her friends and classmates trivialize a traumatic event and not allowing her the distraction class usually provides. The protest places an undue burden on Starr as she handles both her own grief and trauma, and the guilt of white students who approach her to clarify why they are not participating and want reassurance. Their insistence highlights Starr’s isolation at Williamson as a black girl at a predominantly white school, and how she is forced to be the token representative of black communities overall. While Starr spent the weekend watching people from her neighborhood facing tear gas for their sincere protest, the students at Williamson get media coverage for their fake protest but no retaliation. This disparity highlights how society rewards white people for the same actions it punishes black people for.

The police’s attack on Maverick emphasizes that law enforcement has prioritized a semblance of order over the safety of the community. Mr. Lewis, who has asked the police for their help in eliminating violence from the community, objects to their attacking Maverick because Mr. Lewis knows Maverick is not dangerous. However, the police ignore Mr. Lewis both because they view Maverick as threatening—in a parallel of Khalil’s death—and because they seek retaliation for Starr’s testimony. This decision shows that their policing does not tend to the wants and needs of the community. Furthermore, the police order the neighbors to leave, and only let Maverick up when they realize that they have witnesses. This entire encounter demonstrates the ways in which law enforcement creates more everyday violence when they police what they believe are threats over what the community knows is dangerous.

5. Marlow says that the heads only show Kurtz’s lack of restraint. Do you think this is true? At this point, do you think that Marlow is a reliable narrator? What biases might he have that readers probably do not?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Marlow was saying that he wasn't really surprised although, Conrad seemed to show that the white men were as bad as or even more savage than the African counterpart. It is likely to be a total shift in morality. If he had had a lack of restraint then it should have left a while back.

Marlow also didn't seem to want to go against the rumors of Kurtz. Conrad on the other hand, is interested in keeping the rumor mill going, for whatever reasons. Marlow also had become a reliable narrator but he somehow was still biased towards Kurtz to becoming an absolutely reliable narrator.

Racing to Race

Carlo stopped to rest for a minute and tried to catch his breath. He’d been running for so long that he had pains in his side and his legs were beginning to hurt. He hunched over and tried to expand his lungs, but it was like trying to suck air out of a bicycle tire. His body was too exhausted to even allow him to take a deep breath, and he started to wheeze again.

“Great,” he thought, “let me just add asthma to my expanding list of ailments. I can’t believe that I can’t even jog two miles without completely collapsing!” He finally gave in to his aching body and laid down on the grass to recuperate. He closed his eyes and tried to imagine himself running on the school track in the 1,600-meter race. He pictured himself running steadily toward the finish line, running effortlessly like a cheetah in the jungle. He was so lost in thought that he didn’t even hear Meiya approach.

“Hey sleepyhead, what are you doing napping on Sean’s lawn in the middle of the day?” Meiya asked playfully.

Carlo quickly sat up, breathing normally now and feeling a little embarrassed. “I am trying to get in shape to try out for track, but I can’t even run two miles,” he said dejectedly.

“Wait, how many months are you out of surgery? Didn’t you just finish rehab last week?” Meiya asked. “You can’t expect to run two miles the first day.”

It had been six months since Carlo’s surgery and he specifically remembered the doctor telling him he could start running after six months. But he thought about what Meiya had said and realized she had a good point. After his surgery, the doctor did say rehab would be crucial to his recovery but that it would take time for him to gain back full use of his leg. He thought about how a baby had to learn to walk before it could run. He remembered when his nephew was learning to crawl; within days it seemed like he was walking. Running didn’t come right away, Carlo remembered. He realized it was the same with his therapy. The maximum he had run in the past month was one mile on the treadmill, so he realized that Meiya was probably right. He would have to work at building up his endurance and set more realistic goals for himself. As he thought about what he had already accomplished, he started to smile and felt like a weight was being lifted off his shoulders. He realized that he had run almost a mile and a half before his body started to protest and if he kept working hard, he could get back to where he was before his accident.

“Since when did you get so smart, Dr. Meiya?” he teased. “Do you want to race to the next mailbox?”

“You’re on!” she challenged and took off running at full speed.



Question 1
Part A

What is a central theme of “Racing to Race?”


A close friend is good medicine.

Good things always come to those who wait.

Question 2
Part B

Meiya reminds Carlo that he has just finished rehab, and Carlo acknowledges that he will once again have to build up his strength and endurance.

Carlo pictures himself winning a big race on the school track team and when he realizes that he may not be able to run, he is very discouraged and disappointed.

Carlo realizes that he may not be able to compete on the school track team because his injury is not fully healed but discovers that he can still run for fun with his friend.

Meiya knows that she is faster than Carlo, so she does her best to encourage him and also lets him win a race between them to boost his spirits.

Answers

A) Training takes time and dedication.

B) Meiya reminds Carlo that he has just finished rehab, and Carlo acknowledges that he will once again have to build up his strength and endurance.

Assume that the read and write miss penalties are the same.a. Find the average memory access time (AMAT).b.

Using the AMAT as a metric, determine if this is a good trade-off.c.
