In terms of what it shows about America, being American, and America's core values, with which work did you identify the most? Why? Cite specific examples from the texts and your personal feelings or experiences to illustrate the points in your response. (That is, which work contained characters, events, or themes that you recognized and understood because of your own experiences as an American? Why do you think this work spoke to you as it did?)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(I am not sure where to get all this info but I will answer from all I know)

America is the closest thing we have at the moment to freedom. America is a country of immigrants and was in fact founded by British folk which left from England because of their Religious beliefs. Being American means embracing the country, its culture, and core values. It means respecting other peoples freedom and rights no matter who you are the President or a Police Officer. I personally identify myself the most with a Diplomat or a Politician because of how much I negotiate with people to find compromises and avoid arguments my friends have with each other. I also help people when I have the chance (Brainly as an example) and study the law.

Answer 2

Answer:

Most identify with "Complexion" because it speaks about him dealing with the different pressures he faced as a Mexican-American in America. As a minority race in this country, we face more discrimination and oppression than the majority because of our ✨complexion✨.  "You look like a negrito(aka black person)," ..... you know how important looks are in this country. With los gringos looks are all they judge on, but look at you. You are so careless!" When this is said by his mother it shows the effect that oppression of the darker-skinned persons has had on others so much to where a mother is criticizing her own child. This is only because she seeks validation from the los gringos(aka white people). This speaks to me because as an African-American, I too have faced racism, oppression, discrimination, and criticism because of my brown skin or in other words my ✨complexion✨.

Consider the market for pens. Suppose that the number of students with an allergy to pencil erasers increases, causing more students to switch from pencils to pens in school. Moreover, the price of ink, an important input in pen production, has increased considerably.

Answers

Answer:

This is a situation where there is an inadequate increase in equilibrium quantities, which causes an ambiguous imbalance in equilibrium prices.

Explanation:

As seen in the question above, students stopped buying pencils, due to their allergy to rubbers, and started to buy pens. This causes a change in the balance between these two products, this change was not made by factors such as scarcity or better quality, but because of the students' allergy, which shows that the change in balance was made in an unequivocal manner.

However, there are many students who still buy the pencils, and the ink from the pens comes at a high price. This causes the change in the equilibrium price of these products to be ambiguous because demand and supply may fall or rise together, not allowing a forecast of price changes.

What relationship does the chart show between active military and employed workers? The number of active military increased as the number of employed workers decreased. The number of active military and employed workers decreased steadily. The number of active military and employed workers jumped at the same time. The number of active military decreased as the number of employed workers increased.

Answers

Answer:

The number of active military and employed workers jumped at the same time.

Explanation:

We can clearly infer from the chart that as the number of employed workers increased so does the active military participation. From the year 1916 to 1917 the number of employed workers increased from 40.1 million to 41.5 and for the same period, the number of active military members increased from 0.18 million to 0.84 million. The same pattern of progression can be inferred for the subsequent year that is from 1917 to 1918. Therefore from the data shown in the chart we can say that both variables jumped at the same time.

Answer:

The number of active military and employed workers jumped at the same time.

Only Congress has the power to negotiate peace and declare war (with the exception of the situations mentioned in Article 6). To send and receive ambassadors, and to make treaties and alliances with foreign nations. This new document contains three main points for debate in the Congress: the distribution of taxes by population. Granting 1 vote per state. The ability of the federal government to dispose of public property in the West. Article 9 grants Congress authority over certain areas of international policy. It gives it the sole right to declare war. It gives Congress the sole right to send ambassadors to other countries and to make treaties with other countries.
