Answer:
Not all White people are racist but most of the Racial discrimination in the criminal justice system for African Americans come from White Americans
Explanation:
Such broad statistics mask the racial disparity that pervades the U.S. criminal justice system, and for African Americans in particular. African Americans are more likely than white Americans to be arrested; once arrested, they are more likely to be convicted; and once convicted, and they are more likely to experience lengthy prison sentences. African-American adults are 5.9 times as likely to be incarcerated than whites and Hispanics are 3.1 times as likely.4) As of 2001, one of every three black boys born in that year could expect to go to prison in his lifetime, as could one of every six Latinos—compared to one of every seventeen white boys.5) Racial and ethnic disparities among women are less substantial than among men but remain prevalent.6)

Read this passage from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address:
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say
here, but it can never forget what they did here.
What does Lincoln think will be remembered?
A. What he wore
B. The soldiers' lives
C. His speech
D. His important words
Answer:
It is B
Explanation:
I got it right on the test
The soldiers' lives does Lincoln think will be remembered. Hence, option B is correct.
Why is the Gettysburg Address so famous?Our ancestors founded a new country on this continent, conceived in liberty, and committed to the idea that all people are created equal, four score and seven years ago. We are currently fighting a major civil war to see how long-lasting that nation—or any nation so conceived and committed—can be.
In the midst of a Civil War that had divided the nation, the stirring and infamously brief Gettysburg Address was praised for reviving national ideals of freedom, liberty, and justice. According to Governor, "President Lincoln tried to mend a nation's wounds by defining what a nation should be."
The Gettysburg Address's key takeaway is that principles are worth dying for and that it is incumbent to the living to continue these ideals.
Thus, option B is correct.

What happened in Book 9 of The Odyssey?
Answer:
Reluctantly, Odysseus tells the Phaeacians the sorry tale of his wanderings. From Troy, the winds sweep him and his men to Ismarus, city of the Cicones. The men plunder the land and, carried away by greed, stay until the reinforced ranks of the Cicones turn on them and attack. Odysseus and his crew finally escape, having lost six men per ship. A storm sent by Zeus sweeps them along for nine days before bringing them to the land of the Lotus-eaters, where the natives give some of Odysseus’s men the intoxicating fruit of the lotus. As soon as they eat this fruit, they lose all thoughts of home and long for nothing more than to stay there eating more fruit. Only by dragging his men back to the ship and locking them up can Odysseus get them off the island.
Odysseus and his men then sail through the murky night to the land of the Cyclopes, a rough and uncivilized race of one-eyed giants. After making a meal of wild goats captured on an island offshore, they cross to the mainland. There they immediately come upon a cave full of sheep and crates of milk and cheese. The men advise Odysseus to snatch some of the food and hurry off, but, to his and his crew’s detriment, he decides to linger. The cave’s inhabitant soon returns—it is the Cyclops Polyphemus, the son of Poseidon. Polyphemus makes a show of hospitality at first, but he soon turns hostile. He devours two of Odysseus’s men on the spot and imprisons Odysseus and the rest in his cave for future meals.

Odysseus wants to take his sword to Polyphemus right then, but he knows that only Polyphemus is strong enough to move the rock that he has placed across the door of his cave. Odysseus thus devises and executes a plan. The next day, while Polyphemus is outside pasturing his sheep, Odysseus finds a wooden staff in the cave and hardens it in the fire. When Polyphemus returns, Odysseus gets him drunk on wine that he brought along from the ship. Feeling jovial, Polyphemus asks Odysseus his name. Odysseus replies that his name is “Nobody” (9.410). As soon as Polyphemus collapses with intoxication, Odysseus and a select group of his men drive the red-hot staff into his eye. Polyphemus wakes with a shriek, and his neighbors come to see what is wrong, but they leave as soon as he calls out, “Nobody’s killing me” (9.455). When morning comes, Odysseus and his men escape from the cave, unseen by the blind Polyphemus, by clinging to the bellies of the monster’s sheep as they go out to graze. Safe on board their ships and with Polyphemus’s flock on board as well, Odysseus calls to land and reveals his true identity. With his former prisoners now out of reach, the blind giant lifts up a prayer to his father, Poseidon, calling for vengeance on Odysseus.

How does Mary’s death most affect the narrator?
Answer:
it changes the relationship between the narrator and his brother.
it prevents the narrator from making friends on the reservation , forcing him to befriend his teammates
Explanation:
Mary and her husband died in a trailer-house fire less than three months after Big Mom. Alexie notes, “In six months, my mother had lost her mother, daughter, and brother. I was not a superstitious kid but I worried that I had jinxed our family when I’d left the rez school. But then I reasoned, “Hey, I still live on the rez. I just go to a different school. There’s no reason for our family to be cursed. "Today, as a nonsuperstitious adult, I still worry that I’m at fault. It’s a ridiculous narcissistic worry, but real nonetheless.” (pgs 203-204)
Why are the police sometimes involved in protests or rallies?
Answer: The police try to calm things down, even at peaceful protests they feel they're needed, when 95% of the time they're really not. They get involved because they feel it's their job or business. I disagree with their involvement when it comes to simple peaceful protests, because in reality no ones getting hurt they are just stating their feelings and opinions.

How does Amanda Gorman explore the themes of the good life in her poem “The Hill We Climb?”
Amanda Gorman wrote and performed "The Hill We Climb" to celebrate the 2021 inauguration of Joe Biden as 46th President of the United States. The poem celebrates the U.S. not as a "perfect union," but as a country that has the grit to struggle with its all-too-real problems. Progress, the poem argues, doesn't happen all at once: it's a slow and sometimes painful "climb" up the "hill" of justice, a climb that takes patience and humility. To this poem's speaker, change is hard work, but it's always possible: dedicated Americans can see—and be!—the "light" of a better future.

As a student of Hilldale High School, I believe that the park should offer more opportunities for students to learn about the local wildlife. When we used to go to the Silverlake Valley Park on field trips, there were interactive exhibits that taught students about nature.

Now, when the students go there for school activities, the interactive exhibits have been closed, so all the students have to do is play on the playground equipment or walk down poorly maintained nature trails. I would like to request that the Parks and Wildlife Services allocate funding to reopen the interactive wildlife exhibits that were in operation in prior years.

Violence in video games is essentially to blame for violence in our society. When children are bombarded with monstrous images, they begin to think that these types of actions are normal or acceptable. Children and teenagers are spending excessive numbers of hours playing video games, and they may begin to use them as a guideline for how to act and behave. Even if they do not perform violent actions, they may become less sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of others because of what they see reflected in these games.

Read the excerpt from Homecoming.
At half-past eight, Dicey herded everybody back into the mall, to use the bathrooms they had found earlier. Later, Sammy and Maybeth fell asleep easily, curled up along the back seat. James moved up to the front with Dicey. Dicey couldn't see how they were both to sleep in the front seat, but she supposed they would manage it. James sat stiffly, gripping the wheel. James had a narrow head and sharp features, a nose that pointed out, pencil-thin eyebrows, a narrow chin. Dicey studied him in the darkening car. They were parked so far from the nearest lamppost that they were in deep shadows.
With her brothers and sisters near, with the two youngest asleep in the back seat, sitting as they were in a cocoon of darkness, she should feel safe. But she didn't. Though it was standing still, the car seemed to be flying down a highway, going too fast. Even the dark inside of it was not deep enough to hide them. Faces might appear in the windows at any time, asking angry questions.
Based on the excerpt, which best describes Dicey’s mood?
A.She is very worried about what would happen to her family.
B.She is in denial about her family’s present circumstances.
C.She is trying to stay upbeat and carefree whenever possible.
D.She is having a hard time feeling safe in almost all situations.
Answer: D.She is having a hard time feeling safe in almost all situations
Explanation:
Based on the excerpted, Dicey’s mood was that she is having a hard time feeling safe in almost all situations.
We are told that even her brothers and sisters near, as they were in a cocoon of darkness, she still didn't feel safe.
