In the text "Glenn miller" How do you know the author's intent?

Answers

Answer:

to inform the reader about jazz musician Glenn Miller

Explanation:

One of the most recognizable forms of jazz music is swing. Trombonist and band leader Glenn Miller  helped it become one of America’s favorite types of music. It was different from other types of jazz. Miller  did not like a lot of improvisation. His music was well planned, including the solos. Some critics said  anyway. Miller’s music wasn’t true jazz because of this. People loved the sound of the big bands anyway.

Miller was a member of several bands until he started the Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1938. His band  became very popular and recorded several hit songs. Live broadcasts of the orchestra’s music played over  dancing. the radio three times a week. Miller’s music was lively and fun to dance to. It gave birth to swing dancing.

In 1942, Miller broke up his band to join the United States Army Air Force during World War II. He  was made a captain and had permission to create a band. Their job was to boost the mood of troops in  Europe. The Army Air Force band performed for troops live and over the radio. Unfortunately, Miller  was on a plane that disappeared over the English Channel in 1944. The Army Air Force Band continued playing in his honor until the end of the  war.

Answers

Answer:

An Excerpt from “Optimism”

by Helen Keller

1 Could we choose our environment, and were desire in human undertakings synonymous with

endowment, all men would, I suppose, be optimists. Certainly most of us regard happiness as

the proper end of all earthly enterprise. The will to be happy animates alike the philosopher, the

prince and the chimney-sweep. No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels

that happiness is his indisputable right.

2 It is curious to observe what different ideals of happiness people cherish, and in what singular

places they look for this well-spring of their life. Many look for it in the hoarding of riches, some

in the pride of power, and others in the achievements of art and literature; a few seek it in the

exploration of their own minds, or in the search for knowledge.

3 Most people measure their happiness in terms of physical pleasure and material possession.

Could they win some visible goal which they have set on the horizon, how happy they would be!

Lacking this gift or that circumstance, they would be miserable. If happiness is to be so

measured, I who cannot hear or see have every reason to sit in a corner with folded hands and

weep. If I am happy in spite of my deprivations, if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith, so

thoughtful that it becomes a philosophy of life,—if, in short, I am an optimist, my testimony to

the creed of optimism is worth hearing....

4 Once I knew the depth where no hope was, and darkness lay on the face of all things. Then

love came and set my soul free. Once I knew only darkness and stillness. Now I know hope and

joy. Once I fretted and beat myself against the wall that shut me in. Now I rejoice in the

consciousness that I can think, act and attain heaven. My life was without past or future; death,

the pessimist would say, “a consummation devoutly to be wished.” But a little word from the

fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the

rapture of living. Night fled before the day of thought, and love and joy and hope came up in a

passion of obedience to knowledge. Can anyone who has escaped such captivity, who has felt

the thrill and glory of freedom, be a pessimist?

5 My early experience was thus a leap from bad to good. If I tried, I could not check the

momentum of my first leap out of the dark; to move breast forward is a habit learned suddenly

at that first moment of release and rush into the light. With the first word I used intelligently, I

learned to live, to think, to hope. Darkness cannot shut me in again. I have had a glimpse of the

shore, and can now live by the hope of reaching it.

6 So my optimism is no mild and unreasoning satisfaction. A poet once said I must be happy

because I did not see the bare, cold present, but lived in a beautiful dream. I do live in a

beautiful dream; but that dream is the actual, the present,—not cold, but warm; not bare, but

furnished with a thousand blessings. The very evil which the poet supposed would be a cruel

6) Read the last sentence from the text.

Only by contact with evil could I have learned to feel by contrast the beauty of truth and love and goodness.

Do parents have different rules, standards or hopes for their sons than for their daughters? Why or why not, give an example.

Answers

Answer:

Yes, they do! Most parents are more concerned about their son's education than for their daughter's. Whilst parents may not intend to treat sons and daughters differently, research shows that they do. Sons appear to get preferential treatment in that they receive more helpful praise, more time is invested in them, and their abilities are often thought of in higher regard. They also provide better nutrition and medical care for boys than girls, and indulge in a host of other practices that discriminate against girls. Even in this day and age, families openly celebrate the birth of a son, while the birth of a daughter is not always greeted in the same manner.

Explanation:

Answer:

I'm guessing they do, I'm a girl but this is my opinion, lets get started ;)

STANDARDS FOR MEN:

For men, the standard that most parents put on them are things such as: Being tough (no crying), protecting girls from danger, as well as they have more freedom in general (in a non sexist way). Men tend to have more freedom then women because scientifically and logically, men are more likely to have more defense skills and usually the danger isn't aimed towards them.

RULES FOR MEN:

Usually the rules for men that their parents have set are pretty simple and straightforward. For example, curfew at 11:30pm, no disrespecting your parents, (or elders in general).

HOPES:

The hopes that parents have for their son are very similar to what they hope for their daughters. For example, many parents would like their sons to be financially stable, have a family (so they can have grandkids which I know a lot of parents that want this), and this kind of connects to the first reason, but if your a doctor, that is like a dream come true for parents.

SIMULARITIES BETWEEN SON AND DAUGHTER RULES:

Both are most likely expected to have good grades, clean the house, be respectful, have a good job etc.

STANDARDS FOR GIRLS:

Majority of parents expect their daughters to be physically in shape, have good grades, become a mom when they are settled (if they want), be respectful etc.

RULES FOR GIRLS:

The rules for girls *daughters* seem to be unlimited (in my opinion lol). For example, curfew is cut shorter, (instead of 11:30pm it would be 11pm), in general parents will be more worried for their daughter about coming home late because more than most likely, girls are more targeted which I mentioned above. So to tie it all up, girls tend to have more rules then guys which can be unfair, but at the end day, its for the safety of their kids.

Explanation:

Date should be changed to dates

Taiwan's tea production dates back to the early eighteenth century; the country is now known for its oolong, black, and green teas. The error is date.

What do you mean by the subject-verb agreement?

A subject and its verb must be both singular or plural in order for there to be subject-verb agreement: A singular verb needs a singular subject. A plural verb needs a plural subject.

This makes your work easier to read and assists your reader in understanding who or what is doing in a particular way. First, determine the subject (the thing or person performing the action) and the verb (the word that performs the action) in a sentence.

Verbs and subjects must have the same number (singular or plural).

Therefore, Taiwan's tea production dates back to the early eighteenth century; the country is now known for its oolong, black, and green teas. The error is date.

Read the story.
The Trombone
Jerry stepped off the bus at the music school, and he mentally reviewed the correct trombone slide positions as he walked to Room 10 at the end of the hall. He sat down at his chair in front of the music stand and smiled eagerly at Nadine, his teacher, who gave him a strange look.
“Where’s your trombone?” she asked.
“Oh, no!” He’d left it on the bus! “What’ll I do?” he asked, after explaining the situation to Nadine.
“You’ll have to get it back, or your parents are out nine hundred dollars.”
“Oh, no.” He clapped his hands to his face in despair.
She sent him home without a lesson. The bus ride back was pure agony. It reminded him of the previous bus, where the catastrophe had occurred. Fortunately, this driver, to whom Jerry confided his plight, advised him to call the bus company’s lost and found. But it was six o’clock; the bus company’s phone recording said that the lost and found closed at five.
The next day, Jerry’s father drove him to the bus company office, and—the trombone wasn’t there. No one had turned it in.
“I’m an idiot,” Jerry moaned, as his father drove him to the music school to meet his doom. “I never do anything right.”
“You’re not an idiot, you’re a normal kid, and you do a million things right. Now you’ll never do this kind of thing again. If the trombone doesn’t show up, we’ll work out a way for you to pay for it over time.”
Walking the corridor to Room 10 beside his father, Jerry felt like a pirate walking the plank. With a feeling of dread he opened the door. Inside stood Nadine, working the slide on a trombone but not putting the mouthpiece to her lips. Wait—the trombone had a familiar dent on the bell and a familiar little scratch on the mouthpiece. It was his!
“Someone turned it in at the desk,” Nadine smiled. “A passenger from your bus. Thank goodness for honest people, huh?”
Jerry sank into his seat with an immense sigh of relief, and vowed to himself that he would never do anything wrong again in his life.

“Oh no!” exclaims the speaker. He'd forgotten about it on the bus! After explaining the issue to Nadine, he said, "What will I do?"

"You have to return it, otherwise your parents will lose $900."
