For this passage from Freedom of Expression in the United States:
History has shown that curtailing free expression by banning speech does not advance democracy. The drafters of the U.S. Constitution recognized that when governments forbid citizens from talking about certain topics, it often forces those citizens to discuss such topics secretly. By allowing individuals to express their opinions — no matter how much the government and other citizens may disagree with them — the First Amendment promotes transparency and social stability. This uninhibited public debate also forces ideas into the intellectual marketplace, where they must compete with the ideas freely expressed by other individuals. This competition of ideas means that inferior or offensive ideas give way to better ones.

Polar bears live in artic climates. Because of this, they must be adapted to some serious weather conditions. Thick white fur (which also lines the bottom of their feet) and a layer of blubber (fat) allows polar bears to withstand weather that would cause most animals to freeze! Polar bears are much less impacted by freezing cold temperatures as a result of their unique traits.

Jaguars and leopards are two commonly mistaken species. Both look like big cats with similar coloring and spotted patterns. However, jaguars have a shorter and more muscular body. Jaguars are also more likely to stand up to larger animals or predators. You will find jaguars and leopards in different parts of the world. Jaguars live in some parts of the United States, Central, and South America. Leopards live mostly in Africa and Asia.

King Cobras lay 20 to 40 eggs at a time. Once the eggs are laid, the mother cobra will create a nest from dead leaves and coil herself on top. The eggs must be kept warm for up to 80 days. During this time, a cobra will see any animal nearby as a threat and will attach. Once the eggs finally hatch, the 18 inch babies will have to survive on their own by finding protection in the surrounding environment.

What happens when a dog gets overheated? They pant. Panting allows cooler air to quickly circulate throughout their bodies until they return to a more comfortable temperature. Dogs also produce small amounts of sweat from their paws and noses. This sweat helps the cooling process. The thicker the fur on a dog, the longer it takes to cool down. You can also help your furry friend by making sure they have a cool place to stay, and plenty of water to drink.

Read the following passage from Freedom of Expression in the United States regarding defamatory speech, which is a false statement of fact that damages a person's character, fame, or reputation:
Under U.S. defamation law, there are different standards for public officials and private individuals. Speakers are afforded greater protection when they comment about a public official, as opposed to a private citizen. In 1964, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that public officials could prove defamation only if they could demonstrate "actual malice," that is, that the speaker acted with knowledge that the defamatory statement was false or "with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not."
Choose the explicit textual evidence that best supports the claim that not all citizens are given the same protection under U.S. defamation law . . .
Question 12 options:
In 1964, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that public officials could prove defamation only if they could demonstrate "actual malice" . . .
Speakers are afforded greater protection when they comment about a public official . . .
Under U.S. defamation law, there are different standards for public officials and private individuals.
. . . the speaker acted with knowledge that the defamatory statement was false or "with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not."
Answer:
"Under U.S. defamation law, there are different standards for public officials and private individuals."
Explanation:
This statement from the passage is explicit textual evidence that supports the claim that not all citizens are given the same protection under U.S. defamation law. The statement explicitly states that there are different standards for public officials and private individuals, which suggests that these two groups are not treated equally under defamation law. This supports the claim that not all citizens are given the same protection.
Review the discussion prompt with a partner or small group. Before beginning your discussion, generate ideas for your response and revisit the vocabulary review list to select useful and relevant terms.
Discussion: In this unit, we have been reading, writing, and thinking about identity, and one aspect of a person’s identity is his or her personality. What is one word you would use to describe your personality? Why did you choose that word? What has contributed to the development of your personality?Use as many Big Idea and Academic Vocabulary words in your discussion as you can.
After your discussion, reflect on your experience. How many vocabulary words were you able to incorporate? How comfortable did you feel recalling and using these words? What strategies were beneficial in learning these words, and what will you adjust in the future? Record your response below.
How do we become who we are? Traditionally, people’s answers have placed them in one of two camps: nature or nurture. The one says genes determine an individual while the other claims the environment is the linchpin for development. Since the 16th century, when the terms “nature” and “nurture” first came into use, many people have spent ample time debating which is more important, but these discussions have more often led to ideological cul-de-sacs rather than pinnacles of insight.
New research into epigenetics the science of how the environment influences genetic expressions changing the conversation. As psychologist David S. Moore explains in his newest book, The Developing Genome, this burgeoning field reveals that what counts is not what genes you have so much as what your genes are doing. And what your genes are doing is influenced by the ever-changing environment they’re in. Factors like stress, nutrition, and exposure to toxins all play a role in how genes are expressed essentially which genes are turned on or off. Unlike the static conception of nature or nurture, epigenetic research demonstrates how genes and environments continuously interact to produce characteristics throughout a lifetime.
The structure of the paragraph is compare and contrast. It contrasts the influence of nature on development by describing details that support the other side of the debate. It shows that environment also has a strong influence on people.

Read the following passage from Freedom of Expression in the United States:
Hate speech — generally defined as speech that maligns a person or group based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation or disability — receives full First Amendment protection. Speech that is intended to incite imminent violence or credibly threaten individuals, however, can be restricted as outlined above.
While the United States does not restrict hate speech, it understands that the most effective weapon in combating hate speech is not suppression, but tolerant, truthful, and intelligent counter speech.
Which statement best summarizes the main idea of this passage?
Question 8 options:
that hate speech does not receive the full protect of the First Amendment and citizens may speak freely to start physical fights.
that speech which encourages violence should be suppressed.
that all offensive or intolerant speech is hate speech.
that hate speech is fully protected under the First Amendment, except where it provokes violence.
Answer:
The correct answer is: that hate speech is fully protected under the First Amendment, except where it provokes violence.
Explanation:
The passage states that hate speech, which is defined as speech that maligns a person or group based on certain characteristics, receives full First Amendment protection. However, the passage also notes that speech that is intended to incite imminent violence or credibly threaten individuals can be restricted. This suggests that hate speech is protected under the First Amendment unless it meets certain criteria, such as inciting violence or threatening individuals, in which case it can be restricted. The other answer choices do not accurately reflect the information provided in the passage.
Answer: The focus of the times was directed toward military capabilities, while the Athenians were more interested in comfort and culture. It was the oligarchy in Sparta that put a war-like attitude as its priority and best met the needs of Ancient Greece. These factors empowered Sparta and led to the development of an authoritative and potent state. Other contrasting issues included women’s rights, social classes, and the value of human life
Taking everything into consideration, the system of education and government is believed to differ in both, Sparta and Athens. While the education system in Sparta was based on military principles, Athens preferred to teach both scientific and military factors.
Athens was a centralized government whereas Sparta was a decentralized government. Athens was a “limited democracy” where all qualifying citizens could vote in their governmental assembly. Adult men were the only citizens who were able to vote at this time.
The people of Athens valued art, culture, and education. The people of Sparta valued strength, simplicity, and military skills. Government Athens was a democracy, though only free men could take part in government. Sparta was primarily a military state.
While the Athenian economy depended on trade, Sparta's economy relied on farming and on conquering other people. Sparta didn't have enough land to feed all its people, so Spartans took the land they needed from their neighbors.
Bearing and raising children was considered the most important role for women in Spartan society; equal to male warriors in the Spartan army. Spartan women were encouraged to produce many children, preferably male, to increase Sparta's military population. They took pride in having borne and raised brave warriors.

The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga
Aravind Adiga's first novel, The White Tiger, paints a vivid and disturbing picture of life in the strikingly different cultures that comprise modern India. Home to more than 15 percent of the world's population, the country has grown to become an economic power, and yet vast numbers of its inhabitants have little to show for its prosperity. The conflict created by that reality propels this riveting tale.
Son of a rickshaw puller, the neo conventional protagonist from the book, The White Tiger, Balram Halwai, narates the actual story connected with his lifestyle and his movement through darkness in order to attain light. In a tongue-in-cheek manner he unravels how the ruling capitalist ideology never ever allows the actual poverty stricken to come up into the limelight. The publisher of the book is Harper Collins India Limited.
Summary of the book
In essentially the most impoverished along with destitute villages in the Indian subcontinent, a young boy is hungry for knowledge. However, the circumstances plus the cultural disorders prevalent causes it to become almost unattainable for him to do so. Prevailing among the limited opportunities, the son of a rickshaw-puller, find a means to escape the vice-grip associated with his family and he becomes the driver for the son of a wealthy landowner. Brilliant and quick-witted, he quickly relates to terms while using the divide concerning the rich and the poor. He realizes that he should now break the centuries-old shackles and should flee intended for his existence and vie his old life to satisfy his fate.
Detailed review
White Tiger is the story of Balram, the son of a rickshaw puller, who lives within a small Indian village. He detects the destitution of his family members, repulses and decides to break clear of it. He is searching for opportunities that can alleviate his poverty. He learns to drive and manages to obtain a driver's job with the property owner of his village. Lady Luck smiles upon him as Balram was asked to accompany the property owner's son to Delhi as a driver. In Delhi, Balram understands the ways of the city society. A keen observer and a fast learner, Balram realizes fastly that slight dishonesty should bring him sufficient money for any security in near future. He kills his master along with which he runs off to Bengaluru and years later, Balram is viewed as a good influential member of the Bengaluru power circle productively steering his career derived from one height completely to another.

Book Review
I recently finished reading "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This novel follows the journey of a young shepherd named Santiago as he travels from his home in Spain to the pyramids of Egypt in search of a personal legend. Along the way, he encounters a variety of interesting characters who teach him important lessons about the power of following one's dreams and the importance of listening to one's heart.
One thing that I particularly liked about this book was the way that Coelho seamlessly blends magical elements with real-world wisdom. Santiago's journey is filled with symbolism and allegory, but at its core it is a story about the human desire to find purpose and meaning in life. The book's central message of following one's dreams and trusting in the universe is timeless and universal, and it spoke to me on a deep level.
Overall, I highly recommend "The Alchemist" to anyone who enjoys a good coming-of-age tale with a dash of magic and mystery. It is a beautifully written and thought-provoking novel that is sure to leave a lasting impact on its readers.
Movie Review
I recently watched "La La Land" and was thoroughly impressed by it. This musical tells the story of Mia, an aspiring actress, and Sebastian, a jazz pianist, as they struggle to make it in Hollywood while trying to maintain their relationship.
One thing that really stood out to me about this movie was the amazing performances of the lead actors, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. Both of them deliver heartfelt and emotional performances that really bring their characters to life. The music and dance numbers in the film are also top-notch, with catchy and memorable tunes that will have you humming along long after the movie is over.
The cinematography and art direction in "La La Land" are also worth mentioning. The movie is visually stunning, with colorful and vibrant musical numbers that really pop off the screen. The film's nostalgiciac tribute to classic Hollywood musicals is also a treat for fans of the genre.
Overall, "La La Land" is a delightful and charming musical that is sure to put a smile on your face. It's a must-see for fans of the genre, and even those who may not typically enjoy musicals will find a lot to love about this film.

You took my hand one time only:
at our parting, which surprised you.
After thousands of words and hundreds of meals
had passed, you put my hand in yours, one time.
Your hand was sandpaper, callused and rough,
fingers fixed to curl around a plow,
nails caked with dirt from morning prayers.
It felt like home against mine.
You took my hand one time only,
before I caught the bus to leave Kornaka.
You took my hand and said “my son,
remember the telephone
is sacred.”

Princess and me are driving up to Tulsa to except an award! What are the two mistakes
Answer:
Princess and me (correct: Princess and I)except (correct: accept)Explanation:
First, it should be "Princess and I" instead of "Princess and me." This is because "Princess and I" is the correct subject form of the pronoun, whereas "Princess and me" is the incorrect object form.
Second, the correct spelling is "accept" rather than "except." This is because "accept" is the verb that means to receive or take something, whereas "except" is a preposition that means to exclude or leave something out.
So, a corrected version of your statement would be: "Princess and I are driving up to Tulsa to accept an award!"

Answer:Despite technical breakthroughs and scientific discoveries that lead us to assume we have little in common with the rest of the animal world, whether we recognize it or not, we are still a member of the planet's fauna. Needless to mention, when humanity's greatest achievements were the invention of a round wheel or specific agricultural implements, humans were dependent on nature and paid attention to changes in its course (George 24). With the technological revolutions and discoveries that have shaped our previous history, we appear to pay little attention to nature, becoming increasingly estranged from it on a daily basis. However, our ties to nature cannot be severed. There are several important reasons why individuals should aim to engage with nature more than they do now.
Explanation:
Answer:
Despite the technological advances and scientific inventions that make us believe we have nothing in common with the rest of the animal kingdom, we are still part of the planet’s fauna, whether we realize it or not. Needless to say, back when humanity’s main achievements were the invention of a round wheel, or specific tools for farming agriculture, human beings were dependent on nature and paid attention to the changes of its course (George 24). Now, with technological revolutions and discoveries that made up our past history, we seem to pay little attention to nature, getting more and more disconnected from it every day. However, the links we have with nature cannot disappear. There are a number of key reasons in favor of the concept that people should try to connect with nature more than they do today.Nature has historically been the home for human beings, just like it remains a home for animals and plants (with the exception of those that are kept in zoos and greenhouses). Nature is able to show us true beauty without modifications, exaggerations, and falseness. After all, is it not ironic how people go to galleries and exhibitions to look at paintings of colorful flowers, mighty woods, green hills, and fast clear streams; those simple beauties can easily be observed in real life outside of the urban environment which looms around them. Or the fact people purchase recordings of calming sounds of nature, like what you would hear at night in the woods—a damped quavering of an owl, a ringing flare of crickets, and the sonorous rustle of bushes. What we are in fact doing is trying to deceive our minds and make ourselves believe we are in the woods, next to those owls, crickets, and bushes, while we are instead trapped inside our tiny, well-furnished, and packed-with-technology apartment.

The band director, Ms. Lantzy, will be coming on the trip; however, we still need more volunteers. Because you have worked with the band in the past, I believe you would make a wonderful chaperone.
Please consider joining the Smithfield Middle School marching band on our trip to Florida. I believe you would be a wonderful candidate for the position, and I look forward to speaking with you about the trip.
Sincerely,
Madison Ray
