Write a sentence stating whether you think it’s wrong to give away a gift that someone gave you.
Answer:
You choose and buy someone a gift. You give that gift to them. They look in your eyes and say "thank you". It's a moment of love or friendship that has been banked, the bond has been deepened.
So does it matter what happens afterwards to the gift?
In other words, was it about the gift or was it about the moment? If it was the moment, then it should be OK, even a big plus perhaps, to pass the unwanted gift on to someone else and create a new moment.
While re-gifting issues can happen at any time, Christmas is the time that brings it all to a head, because so many gifts are flying around and it makes more sense to dip into it than at any other time.

Think about the idiomatic expression in the following excerpt from "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County." “[Smiley’s dog] would grab that other dog … and hang on till they throw up the sponge.…” What does the expression “thrown up the sponge” most likely indicate about the people watching the dog fight?
Answer:
Admit that they lost the bet
Explanation:
The options you were given are the following:
admit that they lost the bet bet more money on Smiley's dog grab Smiley's dog and tie it up try to help the other dog beat Smiley's dogAn idiom is a phrase that has a figurative, non-literal meaning. We can't conclude what this type of phrase means based on the meanings of individual words that make it up. Here, we have the idiom throw up the sponge. No one is literally throwing up sponges. This phrase means to give up a contest or to acknowledge defeat.
Based on this information, we can conclude that the dogs are fighting until the people who own them admit that they lost the bet.

Joe is writing about a passage from Wonder by R. J. Palacio.
I walked toward Jack and followed him out of the auditorium. He held the double doors open for me, and as I passed by, he looked at me right in the face, kind of daring me to look back at him, which I did. Then I actually smiled. I don't know. Sometimes when I have the feeling like I'm almost crying, it can turn into an almost-laughing feeling. And that must have been the feeling I was having then, because I smiled, almost like I was going to giggle.
Which best shows that Joe is using a personal connection to understand August’s character?
I know how it feels to want to laugh and cry at once. When my family had my grandfather’s funeral, we were very sad. But still we laughed, remembering Grandpa’s funny jokes. I understand how August felt.
I know how August must be feeling. Sometimes I am just so happy I want to cry, like the time I got a bike for my birthday. I cried happy tears.
Just thinking about August makes me want to cry. It must be so hard to be so different looking and have so many physical challenges. I feel sorry for him, because he just wants to have friends, and nobody likes him.
August made people feel uncomfortable because he was different. He did not mean to, but he sometimes made little children cry and older people laugh. I think that is what the story means about laughing and crying.
Answer:
I know how it feels to want to laugh and cry at once. When my family had my grandfather’s funeral, we were very sad. But still we laughed, remembering Grandpa’s funny jokes. I understand how August felt.
Explanation:
by using the words "I know how it feels" Joe is using a personal connection to understand August’s character

In politics, meritocracy means that power should be given to talented individuals who deserve it. Meritocracy is different from royal politics in which power is given at birth. Confucius was a great supporter of meritocracy. A new system began during the Han Dynasty that was based on meritocracy. Although Confucius had died centuries before the Han Dynasty formed in 206 BCE, his ideas provided the foundation.
Answer:
The question refers to Legalism
Explanation:
Legalism is a branch of Chinese philosophy from the time of the Warring States (around 480 BC to 221 BC).
Legalism says that human nature is bad and cannot be improved decisively even through education, but only through the threat of severe punishment, with no distinction of personal or social status. Thus a centralized, meritocratic official state emerged under the Qin and Han dynasties, which would continue to exist until 1912 as an important aspect of Chinese politics.

Write a 500 word essay explaining a social issue over time. (Racial discrimination,women’s rights or inequality)
Answer:
Despite recognition in the Millennium Declaration of the importance of human rights, equality, and non-discrimination for development, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) largely bypassed these key principles. The fundamental human rights guarantees of equality and non-discrimination are legally binding obligations and do not need instrumental justifications. That said there is a growing body of evidence that human rights-based approaches, and these key guarantees in particular, can lead to more sustainable and inclusive development results.[i]
Discrimination can both cause poverty and be a hurdle in alleviating poverty. Even in countries where there have been significant gains toward achieving the MDGs, inequalities have grown. The MDGs have supported aggregate progress—often without acknowledging the importance of investing in the most marginalized and excluded, or giving due credit to governments and institutions which do ensure that development benefits these populations. Recognition of this shortcoming in the MDGs has brought an increasing awareness of the importance of working to reverse growing economic inequalities through the post-2015 framework, and a key element of this must be actively working to dismantle discrimination.[ii]
The post-2015 framework should be grounded in afundamental guarantee of equality and non-discrimination. Under international law, this requires states to identify and eliminate discrimination and ensure equality. This may require legislative or administrative reform to repeal discriminatory provisions or address discriminatory practices by the government or private actors, a change in resource allocation, or educational measures. The post-2015 frameworkshould embody the responsibility of states, when acting together or alone, to take proactive measures to identify and address entrenched discrimination, both direct and indirect. Itshould embody the responsibility of states, international institutions, and corporations to avoid and remedy discrimination for which they are directly or indirectly responsible. The framework should go some way toward achieving this by including goals, targets, and indicators directed at reducing discrimination and ensuring that the social and economic needs of the most marginalized communities are being addressed fairly, and at reducing wealth inequalities more broadly. Targets and indicators in the post-2015 framework should be designed to reduce existing inequalities, address entrenched discrimination, and realize the social and economic rights of the most in need while also remaining feasible, affordable, and implementable.
The post-2015 framework should emphasize the importance of development reaching the most marginalized populations, including indigenous peoples. It can go some way toward achieving this by including:
A specific target of addressing the social and economic needs of the most marginalized or discriminated against groups in each country. The framework should establish the methodology for identifying marginalized or disadvantaged groups, but the groups identified would vary country to country.
Indicators should look to identify structural discrimination, including consideration of discriminatory laws and discrimination by private actors. Considerations should include whether governments have non-discrimination laws that bind public and private entities (with a definition of discrimination consistent with international human rights law), require public and private institutions to develop non-discrimination action plans, and fully implement such laws and policies.
Indicators should measure realization of urgent social and economic needs of the most marginalized populations.
Indicators should measure respect of indigenous peoples’ rights, including land and cultural rights, and recognize free, prior, and informed consent.
Indicators which measure the achievement of each target for the most marginalized or discriminated against groups in each country.
In order to achieve this, disaggregated data will be essential. It may not be feasible to disaggregate date by all potential grounds of discrimination.[iii]At a minimum, states and international institutions should collect disaggregate by gender, demographic group (i.e. ethnic background, language, religion), locale (rural/urban/slum household, state/territory), age, and disability.[iv]States and international institutions should also analyze all existing disaggregated data.
The post-2015 framework should emphasize the importance of development reaching the poorest. It can go some way toward achieving this by including:
A specific target of addressing the social and economic needs of the poorest two wealth quintiles in each country.
Indicators which measure the achievement of each target by wealth quintiles. This will require the collection of data along wealth quintiles.

How does the author’s word choices in this poem contribute to the tone and theme of the poem ?
The author's word choices in "Anthem for Doomed Youth" by Wilfred Owen contribute to the tone and theme of the poem by creating a sense of sorrow, loss, and futility.
The poem uses vivid and powerful imagery to describe the horrors of war, and the language is stark and blunt, emphasizing the harsh realities of death and destruction. The use of words such as "die," "sad," "grief," and "wailing" evoke a mournful and melancholy tone, and the repetition of the phrase "only the monstrous anger of the guns" highlights the senseless violence of war.
The theme of the poem is the senseless waste of life in war, and the author's word choices emphasize the tragic nature of this loss. The poem's final lines, "And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds," are particularly powerful, as they suggest the finality and inevitability of death, and the sense that the young men who died in war had no hope of a future.

in ethan frome why didn't mattie immediately leave with Ethan when he came to pick her up
Answer:
Mattie did not immediately leave with Ethan because she hadn't known Ethan was there to pick her up. Moreover, Ethan had hidden in the shadows, and thus, impossible for Mattie to have seen him.
Explanation:
Edith Wharton's "Ethan Frome," tells the story of the main character Ethan Frome and his struggles in his married life with his wife Zeena while at the same time falling for her cousin Mattie who had come to stay with them. The novel takes us through the "smash-up" that has been the 'hanging' cloud over Frome's life.
On the winter night when Ethan had gone to the village church to pick up his wife's cousin Mattie Silver, Ethan observed "the dark head under the cherry-coloured scarf" and silently hid in the shadows. After the dance was over and the people came out to go back home, Mattie did not immediately leave with Ethan. This was because Ethan had hidden in the corners and not visible to the people around him.
