This project will give you an opportunity to learn about sub-Saharan Africa through a book study activity. You will be reading a nonfiction text, which you will find either in your local library or through Internet research. Then, you will write a short essay summarizing the main ideas of your selected text. When you begin the search for a book, your first step should be to narrow your field of focus. Ask yourself: What exactly am I looking for? Conducting research for any nonfiction text about sub-Saharan Africa will likely bring you to an overwhelming number of results, so it will be helpful to choose a key topic and go from there.

Here are a few questions you can ask yourself to focus your search:

Is there a particular geographical area of Africa that is most interesting to me?
Are there any recent current events that I am interested in learning more about?
What do I already know about Africa? Do I want to know more about one of those topics?
Am I most interested in a book that focuses on an economic, social, or political topic?
Economic topics related to sub-Saharan Africa include economic struggles in African countries, the impact of the slave trade on the African economy, the overuse of natural resources in parts of Africa, etc.
Social topics related to sub-Saharan Africa include the HIV/AIDS epidemic, a concept called "brain drain," and religious and cultural conflict.
Political topics related to Sub-Saharan Africa include political unrest, the impact of colonialism on government, and etc.
Write an explanatory essay that summarizes the key points of the text you selected for the book study and discusses your evaluation of its strengths and weaknesses. You should use the APA Style to format your in-text citations and works-cited page. Click here to review the Style Guide.

Your essay should be no less than 250 words in length. Click here to view the rubric for this project.

What idea about women riding bicycles is emphasized in paragraphs 6 and 7?

A. Riding bicycles offered more than just freedom of movement.

B. Riding bicycles was a simple way to participate in a political movement.

C. Riding bicycles changed women’s fashion.

D. Riding bicycles was a popular subject in magazines

Pg 6-7

Some stated the liberating effects of the bicycle with less sarcasm. “The bicycle has brought to women a healthful, wholesome means of securing a degree of freedom and independence that no amount of discussion regarding ‘women’s rights’ would ever have produced,” wrote the L.A.W. Bulletin and Good Roads magazine in 1898. Meanwhile, Munsey’s Magazine assessed the impact of the wheel on women in a special bicycle-themed issue. “If she has ridden her bicycle into new fields, becoming in the process a new creature, it has been gradually and unconsciously,” the editors wrote.

“She did not have to be born again in some mysterious fashion, becoming a strange creature, a ‘new woman.’ She is more like the ‘eternal feminine,’ who has taken on wings, and who is using them with an ever increasing delight in her new power.”Indeed, many bicycle companies at home and abroad did put wings on the women in their advertisements, emphasizing that they had taken flight.

what does this quote means to you We accept the love we think we deserve.”

I need help writing a two paragraphs assertion about a blind man from the passage the down below.

He was plainly blind, for he tapped before him with a stick, and wore a great green shade
over his eyes and nose; and he was hunched, as if with age or weakness, and wore a huge old
tattered sea-cloak with a hood, that made him appear positively deformed. I never saw in my life
a more dreadful-looking figure. He stopped a little from the inn, and, raising his voice in an odd
sing-song, addressed the air in front of him: –

“Will any kind friend inform a poor blind man, who has lost the precious sight of his eyes
in the gracious defence of his native country, England, and God bless King George! – where or in what part of this country he may now be?”

“You are at the ‘Admiral Benbow,’ Black Hill Cove, my good man,” said I.
“I hear a voice,” said he – “a young voice. Will you give me your hand, my kind young
friend, and lead me in?”
I held out my hand, and the horrible, soft-spoken, eyeless creature gripped it in a moment
like a vice. I was so much startled that I struggled to withdraw; but the blind man pulled me close
up to him with a single action of his arm.
“Now, boy,” he said, “take me in to the captain.”
“Sir,” said I, “upon my word I dare not.”

“Oh,” he sneered, “that’s it! Take me in straight, or I’ll break your arm.”
And he gave it, as he spoke, a wrench that made me cry out.
“Sir,” said I, “it is for yourself I mean. The captain is not what he used to be. He sits with a
drawn cutlass. Another gentleman – ”
“Come, now, march,” interrupted he; and I never heard a voice so cruel, and cold, and
ugly as that blind man’s. It cowed me more than the pain; and I began to obey him at once,
walking straight in at the door and towards the parlour, where our sick old buccaneer was sitting,
dazed with rum. The blind man clung close to me, holding me in one iron fist, and leaning almost
more of his weight on me than I could carry. “Lead me straight up to him, and when I’m in view,
cry out, ‘Here’s a friend for you, Bill.’ If you don’t, I’ll do this;” and with that he gave me a twitch
that I thought would have made me faint. Between this and that, I was so utterly terrified of the
blind beggar that I forgot my terror of the captain, and as I opened the parlour door, cried out
the words he had ordered in a trembling voice.
The poor captain raised his eyes, and at one look the rum went out of him, and left him
staring sober. The expression of his face was not so much of terror as of mortal sickness. He
made a movement to rise, but I do not believe he had enough force left in his body.
“Now, Bill, sit where you are,” said the beggar. “If I can’t see, I can hear a finger stirring.
Business is business. Hold out your right hand. Boy, take his right hand by the wrist, and bring it
near to my right.”
We both obeyed him to the letter, and I saw him pass something from the hollow of the
hand that held his stick into the palm of the captain’s, which closed upon it instantly.
“And now that’s done,” said the blind man; and at the words he suddenly left hold of me,
and, with incredible accuracy and nimbleness, skipped out of the parlour and into the road,
where, as I still stood motionless, I could hear his stick go tap-tap-tapping into the distance.
It was some time before either I or the captain seemed to gather our senses; but at
length, and about at the same moment, I released his wrist, which I was still holding, and he
drew in his hand and looked sharply into the palm.
“Ten o’clock!’ he cried. “Six hours. We’ll do them yet”; and he sprang to his feet.
Even as he did so, he reeled, put his hand to his throat, stood swaying for a moment, and
then, with a peculiar sound, fell from his whole height face foremost to the floor.
I ran to him at once, calling to my mother. But haste was all in vain. The captain had been
struck dead by thundering apoplexy.

Coloring is the most relaxing indoor activity. Not only is coloring fun, it does not require a lot of thought, but it still stimulates the mind. Selecting colors for an activity sheet allows for creativity and flexibility. When the coloring sheet is finished, there will be a wide range of unique colors, which would look different if multiple people colored the same activity page. Coloring is an artistic expression that has no set rules, except for maybe coloring within the lines of the activity sheet! For these reasons, coloring is the best choice for an indoor activity.

Topic: Curfews
Question: Should cities impose a teen curfew law?
Prompt: You will organize an argument in favor of teen curfew laws.

(A curfew is a regulation requiring a person to be home at a certain prescribed time, as imposed by a parent on a child.)

____________________________________

Evidence 1

Positive Effects of Teen Curfew Laws

Three months after introducing curfew laws, the Dallas Police Department conducted a study to determine whether curfew laws decreased teen violence. The department found that juvenile crime during curfew hours dropped by 17.7 percent. Also, arrests during curfew hours decreased by 14.6 percent. These initial findings show that curfew laws have reduced juvenile crime and victimization.

—U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention

____________________________________
Evidence 2

Positive Effects of Teen Curfew Laws

The developing brain of a teenager needs between nine and ten hours of sleep every night. Regularly not getting enough sleep (chronic sleep deprivation) reduces success in school. Sleep deprivation can increase emotional problems such as depression. It is suggested that teenagers avoid going out late and that they establish a regular, early bedtime. Curfew laws would force teens to come home earlier and get the sleep they need.

Please answer quick, will give Brainliests




I MET a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert ... Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage [face] lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which still survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

What type of reasoning is shown in the final part of the passage? Of the nine symbols, Champollion already knew numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8. When he lined up all the numbers and put the corresponding letters beneath them, he got the following arrangement: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 AL_SE_TR_ Immediately Champollion thought of the one Greek leader whose name might be identified with this particular combination of letters. It was Alexander the Great, spelled "Alexandros" in Greek, and apparently represented as "Alksentrs" in hieroglyphs.
