Which evidence from the Newsela article "Health Benefits of Reading, Writing, Are Not Just for Patients" supports the central ideas that reading can help people better understand one another and that reading can help improve people's feelings about their own lives?

Answers

Answer:

"Trying to understand these characters exercises the same mental muscle that helps us understand people in the real world."

"People who read stories are better at sharing and understanding other people's feelings."

"Tiny differences in meaning in poetry and writing can communicate emotion far better than any scientific explanation, he says."

"We learn through the experiences of the characters we read about, Coke says."

"Because we empathize, or feel what others are feeling, we expand our understanding of other people in other situations. We are also bothered by our own misfortunes."

"Allison Adelle Hedge Coke grew up in several foster homes, fought cancer and struggled with drug abuse...'I really didn't believe I would make it through childhood, but the act of writing brought me through,' she says."

Explanation:

The Newsela article hinges on the central idea that reading and writing greatly improves empathy and mental health. While empathy increases ones understanding about how people feel, it also increases health as it creates positivity and improves one's feelings about his own life. Writing boosts health by helping one pour out his emotions. According to the article reading and writing improve the communication between doctors and patients in solving the patients health problems while also helping the patient play a role in helping himself as it concerns his health(narrative medicine). The article points out the need for everyone to read and write as it improves health for everyone and not just for patients who need treatment.

Which sentence or phrase best supports the inference that Donald does not want to follow the example of Marquis?
excerpt from Deciding What is Important

"What's that?" Donald's older brother Marquis asked coming inside after an intensely competitive game of basketball with the other boys in the neighborhood.
"Homework," Donald replied with displeasure.
Marquis laughed and grabbed a bottle of orange juice from the refrigerator. He opened the lid, turned the bottle upside down, and drained the sweet liquid into his mouth.
"That is so unsanitary! You should pour the juice in a glass!" Donald complained. Marquis often aggravated Donald, but this behavior was positively disgusting.
Marquis wiped his mouth with a chuckle and shifted the basketball from one arm to the other. "Homework is lame. Why don't you come out and play some ball. It'll help you relax."
Donald shook his head, "No, I need to complete this assignment." He really did want to go shoot some hoops outside, but he knew that homework had to be the priority. Marquis had dropped out of school last year and was struggling to stay employed. Their mom was angry that Marquis had acted so irresponsibly, and Donald didn't want to make her feel the same disappointment about himself.
Donald refocused his attention on the essay question again. Trying to find something to write about, he flipped through a few pages in the book, but the thumping of the ball outside and the laughing of the guys made him long to be outdoors. He rushed through the rest of his homework. Instead of rereading the chapter to help him develop his essay, Donald copied a section of the book word-for-word and put his name on his notebook paper. He knew it was akin to forgery, but he just needed 15 minutes outside.

Question 4
"When, early in the war, General Fremont attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not then think it an indispensable necessity. When, a little later, General Cameron, then Secretary of War, suggested the arming of the blacks, I objected, because I did not yet think it an indispensable necessity. When, still later, General Hunter attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not yet think the indispensable necessity had come. When, in March and May and July, 1862, I made earnest and successive appeals to the Border States to favor compensated emancipation, I believed the indispensable necessity for military emancipation and arming the blacks would come, unless averted by that measure. They declined the proposition; and I was, in my best judgment, driven to the alternative of either surrendering the Union, and with it the Constitution, or of laying strong hand upon the colored element. I chose the latter. In choosing it, I hoped for greater gain than loss; but of this I was not entirely confident..."

What does Lincoln mean by compensated emancipation?

a) Slaves are paid to leave slave-holding states.
b) Slave-holders are compensated for freeing slaves.
c) States are paid to increase slave-holding.

Question 5
"By general law, life and limb must be protected; →yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life,← but a life is never wisely given to save a limb. I felt that measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the Constitution through the preservation of the nation. Right or wrong, I assumed this ground, and now avow it. I could not feel that to the best of my ability I had even tried to preserve the Constitution, if, to save slavery, or any minor matter, I should permit the wreck of government, country, and Constitution altogether."

45 pointsss answer both plzzz Why is privacy important? Why is lack of privacy bad?

Answers

Answer:

Privacy is important to everyone. It can keep people safe and protected, which is pretty good. It can keep credit card information and passwords safe when it comes to online privacy. In real life privacy is also just as important, as everyone deserves privacy since it is something personal. If there is a lack of privacy, bad things are almost guaranteed to happen. Thinking back to online privacy and credit card information and passwords, if such info is leaked and privacy is invaded, strangers (most likely hackers) can buy things with your credit card and take over all that you have with the use of passwords. Privacy, whether it be real life, online, or anything else, is extremely important, no matter who it is about or what it is about.

Explanation:

Directions: Write an argumentative paragraph from the point of view of a turkey and how he or she feels on Thanksgiving Day. Persuade a family or even America not to eat you. Give three reasons why the family or Americans should switch to a different type of food or skip Thanksgiving dinner altogether. Remember, this is the TURKEY that is doing the talking!

Remember in an argumentative paragraph you must have a claim (your stance on the issue), three reasons to support your claim your counterclaim (What would the other side say?), a refute (how do you attack the other side back?), and a concluding sentence. Your paragraph should have at least 8-10 sentences.

Pls do it correctly!

Answers

As a turkey, I am an avid supporter of animal rights and against the idea of celebrating thanksgiving dinner. Roasted turkey and other animals should not be eaten on a day meant to celebrate the blessings of the year. We, turkeys, should be given the right to participate in a tradition and not be discriminated against because of our species and humans' supposed superiority over animals. Animals are sentient and, thus, we are sufficient for moral status. Timothy Hisao, and many others, believe that animals have a distinctly different moral standing from humans. To this, I reply, that consciousness is a spectrum, not a black-and-white thing. The pain and suffering animals endure is close to or even JUST AS real as that felt by humans.  Others even say that because meat is "just part of the natural order", that overrides our right to live. But they are an alternative to animal meat and through innovation and cooperation between humans and animals could allow us to coexist.

Answer:

Hey! My name is Turkey and I have a question. Why on Thanksgiving, or any other time, do you eat me? I have family and friends, just like you. I have feelings and emotions, just like you. How would you feel if your loved ones were taken from family and home and never seen again? Take it from me, it's very sad but that's what I go through just for you guys to eat my family. Now, just because you may not understand me doesn't mean I'm not communicating with you. Why eat me, when there are other options such as chickens, cows and others birds? Or we can all live eating apples, carrots, corn, broccoli and other natural vegetables and fruits that come from the earth.

I understand that you may feel it's tradition but there are other ways to celebrate. And I get that eating turkey has became a normal thing in your family but new traditions are made everyday. There's a lot of things that we learned in the past that was wrong, including some of the things we chose to eat.

What if me(Turkey),Chicken,Cow and every others like us began to eat you "humans"? There will be no humans, or at least fewer, at the end. Now is the time to change your decisions of eat less animal species, such as myself, and more fruits and vegetables. Plant based isn't so bad.

Explanation:

Super Gran
It was broad daylight and lots of people were out shopping in Northampton city centre on Saturday. Suddenly, a gang of six criminals attacked a jewellery shop. They were wearing black jackets and black ski hats to hide their faces.
Their plan was to smash the big glass windows of the jewellery shop, steal as much valuable jewellery as they could and then quickly escape on motorbikes before anyone could do anything. They thought that nobody would stop them. But they were wrong.
As the gang were smashing the window, a seventy-year-old woman saw what they were trying to do. She ran up to them and started hitting the men on the head with her handbag. The men were very surprised when they saw that their attacker was an old lady. They were so shocked that they dropped the jewellery and tried to run away. But now other shoppers had seen what was happening and came to help the old lady. The shop assistants locked the shop and called the police. Four of the men were arrested.
The whole incident was filmed on the mobile phone of a passer-by. He put the film on the Internet and the story was in all the newspapers: ‘Granny stops armed robbers’. And what about the old lady? Nobody knows who she is! Police questioned people at the scene, but they said she had gone to have a cup of tea and then quietly disappeared.

1 The story is about a
a robbery. b mugging. c burglary.

2 The crime happened
a during the night. b in the middle of the day. c in the evening.

3 The old woman
a was the only person to react.
b was the first person to react.
c filmed the gang on her phone.

4 All the members of the gang

b didn’t tell anyone her name.
c phoned the police.

Answers

Answer:

1. ROBBERY.

The six criminals were attempting the rob the jewellery store.

2. b IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY

The story begins by stating that the event occurred in broad daylight which would mean that it was in the middle of the day as the other options would have limited daylight.

3. b. WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO ACT

The old woman acted first by going to hit the men on their heads. This prompted others to act as well.

4. c. TRIED TO ESCAPE

When the robbers saw that it was an old lady hitting them, they were stunned and all tried to escape but 4 were stopped by the others who intervened and it would appear that 2 managed to escape arrest.

5. b. DIDN'T TELL ANYONE HER NAME

The old lady seemingly disappeared without a trace after the robbery.
