in the context of the text, how does a person overcome adversity? How does resilience help people overcome difficult circumstances? Cite evidence from "How Resilience Works" and "Penelope" in your answer.
Answer and Explanation:
1. In short, the texts claim that people overcome adversity with resilience. However, resilience is difficult to understand. The texts show how the word "resilience" has become fashionable in recent years, but few people really know them, because very few people needed it.
2. Resilience allows people to face reality, realize that they cannot change it, but have positivity. Positivity is very difficult to establish in a time of adversity, but it must be encouraged, as it shows that this moment will pass and that it is necessary to be strong to pass it.

Why should assessments be done in the classroom
Answer: Assessments should be done in the classroom as they are efficient in testing students to see if the material being taught is effective.
Teachers may not always know what strengths or weaknesses their students may have in certain areas, and have to use devices to adequately measure how well or how badly the class is perceiving what is being taught. If a student tests on an assessment and achieves a high grade we can understand that the student is understanding the content well, but if a student does badly when other students are doing well we know that student needs more work.
Additionally, if an entire class does poorly on an assessment, the teacher understands that it is not the class that needs adjustment but rather themselves and the lesson.

A Letter from the Atlantic
Dear Hannah,
I’ve never seen so much water before—everywhere I look, all I can see around me is placid blue. I’m grateful for the calm water today because it enables me to ascend to the top level of the SS Frisia and look at the Atlantic Ocean that stretches before us until it meets the horizon. I feel the warm air on my face and smell the salty sea air, but there’s a pit in my stomach when I think about how different life in New York will be.
When we first set sail on August 21st, I watched until Hamburg became a miniscule speck in the distance. When I squinted and couldn’t see the familiar buildings with their smoke spewing into the air anymore, Papa told me to look the other way. “You can’t look back,” he said as he walked me to the other side of the ship, his strong arm supporting my shoulders. “Home is there now.” He pointed to a place that was shimmering waves of blue, and I had a hard time visualizing a home that was 6,000 kilometers of water. He told me to close my eyes and picture the skyline that would soon materialize on the horizon. I couldn’t even fathom 6,000 kilometers of water, just like I couldn’t fathom that our new home wouldn’t be Hamburg anymore.
Most of the days at sea have been turbulent; tall waves reach up from the bottom of the sea and smack into the ship, sending us to the ground whenever we are standing. We are jettisoned from one side of the ship to the other like billiard balls; we emigrants glance off one another before moving in separate directions. It was entertaining at first, but now the ship’s rocking motion makes me feel sick, so I descend back to the bottom level where my family’s room is. Through the tiny oval porthole, I watch as the rough water laps the glass.
We play games and read and sleep to pass the time—sometimes there’s violin music that drifts into our room at night. My brother and I step out into the hallway in our socks and dance to the fast beat together, and it makes the boat’s rocking seem bearable. Most nights, we practice some English words with one another peppered in with the German that I will soon use less and less. “I am from Germany,” I practice over and over again, elongating my mouth around vowels that are pronounced differently in English than in German. I still think in German, dream in German, feel German words fly off my tongue with a comfort and speed that I worry I’ll never feel when I speak English. What will happen to me if the English all around me displaces the German of my youth?
There are people on this ship from everywhere: The Kowalski family in the room next to ours is from Poland, while the Ivanov family on the other side is from Russia. We practice basic English with one another: “Good morning. How are you?” Behind the closed doors of strangers’ rooms, I hear unfamiliar consonant sounds making up the lyrics to lilting songs. I can only imagine that these melodies are about feeling adrift; though we come from different places, nostalgia and homesickness know no borders or boundaries.
When I write these letters to you, I wonder where you are and what you are doing. Are you still walking along the canals of the Speicherstadt the way we used to after school? Do you still hear the bells of St. Michael’s Church resounding through the air? Does the bakery on the corner still serve our favorite Brötchen when it comes right out of the oven?
I miss you more than I can say in this letter. Say hello to everyone for me and tell them that my family is doing well. By the time I get on land to mail this letter, I will be at Ellis Island!
Love,
Liesl
Read this passage from Liesl's brother's diary.
I draw pictures of New York in my diary every night. Every time I think about New York, my legs jitter with excitement. Everything will be so new and different! I practice English with everyone I know, even with my family who still wants to speak to me in German. I'm starting to think in English and can't wait until English is all I speak. People walk around here like they are sad, but I couldn't be happier. I think I've already forgotten my life in Hamburg. Ellis Island, here we come!
In the fourth paragraph of "A Letter from the Atlantic," Liesl wonders what will happen "if the English all around [her] displaces the German of [her] youth."
How does Liesl's viewpoint conflict with that of her brother?
Liesl fears she will not speak English well, while her brother is confident in his English skills.
Liesl worries about losing ties to her home culture, while her brother looks forward to joining a new culture.
Liesl plans to remain proficient in German, while her brother plans to embrace English.
Liesl is certain she will be able to embrace two cultures, while her brother thinks he must choose one.
Answer:
How does Liesl's viewpoint conflict with that of her brother?
Liesl worries about losing ties to her home culture, while her brother looks forward to joining a new culture.
Explanation:
This is true because, despite the fact that Liesl is moving to a country where english is spoken, she still does not want to give up her culture and home ties in-order to embrace a new one.
This could be seen in her enquiry on Speicherstadt, the St. Michael Church bell, the bakery on the corner of their street that serves Brotchen etc which she was making enquiry on unlike her brother who is optimistic of joining new culture where English is spoken despite the fact that his parents and siblings would want to speak to him in German most times.
Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God 3. According to Edwards, what do healthy, strong members of
that town foolishly believe? Why do they think this?
Healthy and strong church members foolishly believe that their hard work will get them out of hell. Edwards reminds them that they are alive because of God's will, not their own efforts.
Jonathan Edwards proves that to sinful saints who have not yet accepted Christ, God's punishment for their sins and lack of faith is inevitable and they do not have sufficient power to overthrow Him. Edwards' goal was to educate his audience about the horrors of hell, the dangers of sin, and the horrors of loss. Edwards described the plight of those who do not follow Christ's insistence on forgiveness. According to Edwards, God is a Trinity (one in three, one in one), and the Trinity is relative in His love. Since the Trinity begins with a self-understanding of the divine community in God, God communicates this love to all creatures and gives them the opportunity to become part of the divine life of this love. Edwards believed that people had moved away from strict beliefs that emphasized the grace of God so important to salvation. Edwards, leader of the first Great Awakening in colonial New England and pastor in Northampton, Massachusetts, tried to remind his audience of the fiery punishment awaiting unbelievers and encourage them to follow the moral path he outlined.

A. It was a dark and stormy night; the breath of the cool breeze sent shivers up my spine.
B. The little mice danced with joy because they were so excited about their new home.
C. Her grandmother's voice grew weak as she told the story of her journey to America.
D. Leonard ran so quickly his heart was beating out of his chest and his lungs burned.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
While both A and D have a "fear" voice, they do not represent a children's fairy tale because most fairy tales do not use these word choices.
C is also not the answer because the word choice is more historical.

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!! :)

"There Will Come Soft Rains" is a science fiction short story by author Ray Bradbury written as a chronicle about an alone house that stands intact in a California city that is otherwise obliterated by a nuclear bomb, and then is destroyed by a fire caused by a windstorm. First published in 1950 about future catastrophes in two different versions in two separate publications, a one-page short story in Collier's magazine and a chapter of the fix-up novel The Martian Chronicles, the author regarded it as "the one story that represents the essence of Ray Bradbury. Bradbury's foresight in recognizing the potential for the complete self-destruction of humans by nuclear war in the work was recognized by the Pulitzer Prize Board in conjunction with awarding him a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation in 2007 that noted, "While time has quelled the likelihood of total annihilation, Bradbury was a lone voice among his contemporaries in contemplating the potentialities of such horrors. The author considered the short story as the only one in The Martian Chronicles as a work of science fiction.

PART A: Which statement best expresses the central idea of the text?
What is the value in learning the historical context, biography, and analysis of writers’ works in a classroom setting?
Answer:
It can help to add context for the work. For example, if the writer was from Victorian England, their etiquette might be very different to what the reader knows. So a scene in which a characters is being very rude might not come off as important to a reader unless they knew it was rude in the author's perspective when writing possibly. It also adds context to what the writer may write about and how they write it. For example if the author's background was heavily conservative, that might explain why certain characters are portrayed certain ways, like homosexuals being the villains often rather than a hero or friend of the hero or something.
