Answer:
Summary: Chapter I
At the urging of Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesey, and others, a boy named Jim Hawkins records his story about Treasure Island. He omits the island’s exact location, as a portion of its treasure still remains buried there. Jim begins the story by recounting his first meeting with a ragged but imposing old seaman who shows up at the Admiral Benbow, the inn Jim’s father owns.
The old sailor throws down a few gold coins and moves in, staying at the inn for far longer than his payment covers. He hires Jim to stay on the lookout for a one-legged sailor whom he apparently fears. He terrorizes the others in the inn with his coarse sailor’s songs and heavy drinking. Livesy cautions the sailor about the dangers of drinking, but these warnings enrage the seaman, who threatens Livesey with a knife. Livesey subdues the man with his calm authority.
Summary: Chapter II
Jim attends to the ailing Billy, who begs him for a swig of rum in return for some money. Jim is offended, saying he wants only what Billy owes his father for rent. But he gives Billy one glass of rum. Energized by the alcohol, Billy says he must quickly get moving to outsmart his pursuers. He explains to Jim that the former crew of the ship he sailed on, under the now-dead Captain Flint, wants his sea chest. That night Jim’s father, who has also been ill, dies.
Explanation:
Last chapter 3!
Stevenson begins his adventure tale with the unusual device of a young male narrator, giving the narrative an innocent and straightforward tone. This tone eases our entry into the dark criminal underworld of pirates and murderers. Since most readers are typically unfamiliar with such shady figures, Jim’s wide-eyed awe of them mirrors our own perspective. Jim is meek and fearful of the pirates’ drunken, swaggering, coarse language and tendency toward violence. When he calls out for his mother at the end of Chapter III, we are reminded that he is a scared little boy, and indeed a world apart from the sailors. Stevenson’s emphasis on Jim’s childishness in these early chapters highlights the degree to which Jim matures throughout the novel. Later, Jim is no longer cowed by the grizzly seamen and holds his own against them. Here at the beginning, however, the contrast between the narrator’s innocence and the characters’ worldly experience helps set the stage for the rite of passage into adulthood that Jim later undergoes.

Aurora Levins Morales “Child of the Americas”
I am a child of the Americas,
A light-skinned mestiza (Mischling) of the Caribbean,
A child of many diaspora (verstreute Völker), born into this continent at a crossroads.
I am a U.S. Puerto Rican Jew,
5 A product of the ghettos of New York I have never known.
An immigrant and the daughter and granddaughter of immigrants.
I speak English with passion: it’s the tongue of my consciousness,
A flashing knife blade (Klinge) of cristal, my tool, my craft.
I am Caribeña (aus der Karibik), island grown. Spanish is my flesh,
10 Ripples (fließen) from my tongue, lodges (wörtl. logieren, wohnen) in my hips:
The language of garlic (Knoblauch) and mangoes,
The singing of poetry, the flying gestures of my hands.
I am of Latinoamerica, rooted in the history of my continent:
I speak from that body.
15 I am not African. Africa is in me, but I cannot return.
I am not taína (Name eines Indianerstammes). Taíno is in me, but there is no way back.

I am new. History made me. My first language was spanglish.
I was born at the crossroads
20 And I am whole.

Lost in a world of confusion,
Caught up in a whirl (Wirbel, Strudel) of a gringo society,
Confused by the rules,
5 Scorned (verachten) by attitudes,
Suppressed by manipulations,
And destroyed by modern society.
My fathers have lost the economic battle
And won the struggle of cultural survival.
10 And now! I must choose between the paradox of
Victory of the spirit, despite physical hunger
Or to exist in the grasp (Umklammerung) of American social neurosis,
Sterilization of the soul, and a full stomach.
Yes. I have come a long way to nowhere,
15 Unwillingly dragged (zerren) by that
Monstrous, technical industrial giant called
Progress and Anglo success.
I look at myself. I watch my brothers.
I shed (vergießen) tears of sorrow.
20 I sow (säen) seeds of hate.
I withdraw (sich zurückziehen) to the safety within the
Circle of life …
MY OWN PEOPLE.

A synonym is a word or phrase that means the same thing, or almost the same thing, as
another word or phrase. Using synonyms can make your writing interesting and reduce
repetition.
You can also use synonyms to get at more specific shades of meaning. If something is not
just "good", but "very, very good," you might use a stronger synonym like "magnificent,"
rather than writing so many "verys."
Read the following sentence.
Daniel was very handsome.
Which revision of the sentence uses a synonym?
A
Daniel was very, very handsome.
B
Daniel was a modern-day Prince Charming.
Daniel was gorgeous.
D
Daniel looked like a Greek statue.
Answer:
C. Daniel was gorgeous.
Explanation:
In the question, you were given the definition of synonyms. Our task is to determine which sentence contains the synonym of the phrase very handsome.
The word we're looking for can be found in option C. This word is gorgeous. It has the same meaning as very attractive, or, in other words, very handsome or beautiful.
Option A is incorrect because of the repetition of the word very. You were already given a similar example.Option B contains a metaphor - a literary device used to compare two different things that share a common quality. This type of comparison omits words like and as, stating that something is something else.Option D contains a simile - a literary device used to compare two things using words like and as.This is why option C is the correct one.

Dr. King's dream of equality has not been achieved in education. There is still a difference between the number of African Americans who receive high school diplomas and the number of whites who do. According to the United States Census Bureau, in 2000, only 72 percent of African Americans had diplomas while about 83 percent of whites did. Even though some might say the difference between the two groups is not as big as it was in the 1960s, there is still a difference. Closer is not the same as equal. Because the groups do not have equal percentages, King's dream of equality has not actually been achieved.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Give 2 adjectives that describe Gregor's personality and include text evidence for each adjective.
Answer the question "Does being changed into a 'horrible vermin' really change Gregor?" Why or Why not?
Answer and Explanation:
1. Gregor is overwhelmed. This can be seen by the fact that he put up with a job he does not like, in order to provide for his family. In addition, we can say that Gregor feels overwhelmed. This can be seen in the moment when Gregor works almost without rest, becoming more concerned with how he goes to work than with the transformation of his own body.
2. Metamorphosis does change Gregor, although the change is not beneficial. Gregor was the provider of the family, but the metamorphosis makes him shift to the burden of the family, since he can no longer work and is dependent on everyone, who clearly does not want to help him.
