On page 95, Wes describes the financial sacrifices his mother and grandparents made to pay his military schoolś tuition. What were their previous goals and what were their new goals? Was this a good investment?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Wes' mother Joy simply wanted her son to attend a private school instead of the public schools. But the segregation suffered by Wes made him lose focus, and his mother decided to send him to a Military school.

2. It was a good investment that Wes' mother made, for the military school made Wes more disciplined and kept him away from the bad influences in his former neighborhood.

Explanation:

The book, The Other Wes Moore tells the story of two personalities named Wes. Wes whose mother was Joy had moved from Jamaica to The United States. She wanted her children to get a quality education. When she realized that the public schools were no longer in good condition she opted for a private school. The private school made her son relate with the rich kids and this made the kids in the neighborhood unhappy with Wes.

His mother noticed the distractions Wes faced, and so, she changed him to a military school. She borrowed money from family and friends to make this possible. This was a good investment because Wes succeeded in the military school and attained a good rank.

19th-Century Expectations

In both North America and Europe in the 19th century, women and men were expected to fill separate spheres of society. Men were expected to live a public life, whether it was working in a factory or socializing with like-minded men in public places, like clubs, meetings, or bars. On the other hand, women were usually expected to live their lives at home, taking care of the cooking, cleaning, and child rearing. Free time for women was not supposed to be spent socializing but doing other things related to the maintenance of the family, from sewing socks to laundry.

The Case of the Missing Script Where should you go next

Answers

Answer:y

Explanation:

A script is a small piece of program that can add interactivity to your website.

What is the meaning of Script?

An existing system's features can be modified, automated, and customized using a scripting language, also known as a scripting language. Scripting languages are typically not compiled but rather interpreted at runtime.

A script is a brief piece of software that can make your website more interactive. A script could, for instance, produce a pop-up alert box message or offer a dropdown selection. VBScript or JavaScript could be used for this script.

The two don't necessarily mean the same thing, despite the common misconception that they do. Simply explained, scripting allows you to control a program that was built through coding, whereas coding allows you to construct programs on your own.

Almost every script you could ever need or want is available in one convenient location with Simple Scripts, making it easy for you to use it whenever you need it.
