Hey can someone help me please this due today and no one answer it correctly there just trolling.so can someone answer this question thank you!!!!
EXT 1 :Since 1983, the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) and the Sudanese Government have been at war in southern Sudan. The conflict has already claimed more than 500,000 lives and displaced huge numbers of people. Among these were at least 20,000 children, mostly boys, between 7 and 17 years of age who were separated from their families. These ‘lost boys’ of the Sudan trekked enormous distances over a vast unforgiving wilderness, seeking refuge from the fighting. Hungry, frightened and weakened by sleeplessness and disease, they crossed from the Sudan into Ethiopia and back, with many dying along the way. The survivors are now in camps in Kenya, the Sudan and Uganda

Question 1: What's the main idea,detail 1 and detail 2?

TEXT 2:This extraordinary exodus has its origins in traditional forms of migration. After being initiated into manhood, young adolescent boys in southern Sudan have generally been quite mobile. Organized into small groups of their peers, they would leave home for a period to look after cattle. Or they might head for the towns or cities to go to school or to seek their fortune, before eventually returning home. In addition, at times of stress families all over Africa send their children elsewhere to find safety, food, work and schooling.

Question 2: What's the main idea,detail 1 and detail 2?

TEXT 3:But during the war this process has escalated dramatically. Fearing they would be targeted as potential combatants, many boys left their villages and headed for cities such as Juba and Khartoum. Here they hoped to find work or schooling, though as these cities became saturated with migrants, the boys often had to resort to begging or petty crime.


Question 3: What's the main idea ONLY???

TEXT 4:.Others set out for refugee camps in Ethiopia. Some travelled with friends or relatives, others slipped away on their own at night. Few had any idea of what lay ahead of them. They believed the trek would last only a few days and discovered that they faced a harrowing journey of 6 to 10 weeks. Continually under threat, they would flee for their lives, losing their way in the wilderness. Often they lost everything en route—blankets, sheets, shoes, clothes and pots—to soldiers, swindlers or bandits. Many fell victim to killer diseases. Others were so weakened by hunger and lack of sleep that they could go no further and sat down by the roadside—prey for lions and other animals.

Wild Plum Jelly
Tracy Wilson

1 In the winter of 1976, when I was only four years old, my family moved into a modest home in a growing Greenville neighborhood. Upon a slope on one side of the house, stood a dozen tree sprigs looking rather bald and barren. By springtime, however, the little trees began growing taller and bushier by the day. Upon exploring the hillside in mid-July, I noticed hundreds of quarter-sized, pinkish orbs dangling, daring me to pick just one. Of course, I did.

2Plums? I questioned. Yes, plums. she reiterated. She explained that these were not the same as the deeply colored, voluptuous kind I had seen in the market. These were a smaller and much sourer variety.

3 Knowing that they were safe, I ate enough that one afternoon to give me a stomach ache that lasted two days. As the plums became riper and sweeter, my grandma and I picked enough to fill two enormous buckets. She taught me to make jelly from the tiny fruits which we could enjoy all winter long.

4 Years later, I was driving down a long, winding highway when I noticed several wild plum trees lining the hedgerow. I had to pull over. I picked a heaping handful. As I sat there on the side of the highway, I basked in the tartness of my childhood fruit and in the sweetness of the memory of making jelly with the greatest woman I have ever known.

Read the passage on the left to answer the following questions:

Wild Plum Jelly (Another Point of View)

When Tracy was just a little girl, maybe four years old, she came to visit my home just around the time my wild plum tree was bearing fruit. The plums were pinkish little spheres just begging for Tracy's little hands to pick them. When she grabbed one, I explained to her that the plums were edible and safe, but that they didn't taste like the rich, delicious plums at the grocery store. They were a little sour!

But their sour taste didn't stop little Tracy at all. She ate so many plums that she got a stomach-ache! Mercy! After she got better, I taught Tracy to make wild plum jellies. I hope that one day she can remember the good times we had together when she was young.
What do these two accounts of an early event in Tracy's life have in common?
A) Tracy's story is tinted with a tone of sadness, but the grandmother's story is mostly happy in tone.
B) The grandmother's story mentions that they picked apples instead of plum, but Tracy's story mentions only plums.
C) Tracy's story is a memory of picking plums with her grandmother, and the grandmother's story is a similarly happy memory.
D) The grandmother's story shows that she didn't enjoy picking plums, but Tracy's account shows that she had a really good time.

Kelvin Gets His Start

2. Most teens could not imagine going to bed at 7 p.m. every night, but Kelvin would. Then, in the middle of the night, he would wake up to transform his living room. It was a "small electronics scrapyard," as Kelvin explained. Kelvin was always very interested in technology and inventions, but he lived very poorly. His community did not have modern technology. This did not stop Kelvin. He scrounged through scrapyards and dumps looking for basic components to make his inventions work.

Select one:

a.
Kelvin Doe is from a small village in the Republic of Sierra Leone in West Africa.


b.
Many teenage boys aspire to be DJs.

Good authors choose their words very carefully. Take a few minutes to write a short paragraph describing an experience you have recently had. Pick a location you went to or an event you attended. Once you have finished, read over what you have written. Now, write a second paragraph. In it, you will repeat the information from the first paragraph, but you will choose your words more carefully. Ask yourself questions like: What words capture this image exactly? What is the best word to convey how something looked, or how I felt? Take more time with the second paragraph. Your response should be at least 150 words in total.

Which claim from Selection 1 has insufficient evidence?


A)Major crimes usually occur at night.


B)Some cities offer flexibility in curfews.


C)Teen curfews can work if they are enforced.


D)Minor crimes can use up valuable resources


(the paragrapg)



1 Crime is a continuing problem in our society, and to combat it, we must engage in a variety of tactics to give the courts and law enforcement the tools they need to keep us all safe. One valuable tool is a teen curfew, a simple law that restricts when youths under 18 years old can be outside of the home.

2 The benefit of curfews is twofold—they reduce the number of people on the streets who might cause trouble, and they keep youths safe. Even good kids might be tempted to get in minor trouble late at night. Small violations can take up large amounts of police time—time that is better spent dealing with more serious issues. A curfew just takes away the opportunity for kids to get in trouble by keeping them at home.

3 While some teens may be irritated by such restrictions, curfews actually keep youths safe. An old saying goes, “Nothing good happens after midnight.” For young people, this is particularly true. Serious crimes often happen at night, and curfews can keep kids from becoming victims.

4 Many cities set curfews for 11 p.m. during the week. There is simply no need for teens to be out of the house after that. At that hour, students should be done with part-time jobs, sports events, or other activities. Some cities allow teens to stay out until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. However, most believers in curfews would argue that an earlier deadline would be much more effective.

5 Of course, children can always be out with their parents or guardians. The purpose of the curfew is to make sure teens are under some sort of adult supervision. This can take place at home or away from home, as long as adults are present. Curfews have been proven to work. A 1997 United States Conference of Mayors survey of 347 cities found that curfews improved safety in 88 percent of the cities that enforced them.

6 A teen curfew is not going to immediately end all crime, but it will help. In conjunction with other techniques, such as graffiti cleanup, educational and recreational opportunities for youths, and police intervention in high-crime areas, a teen curfew can help keep us all safer.

On the topic of planet Earth…a university planetary science professor or a NASA astrophysicist would be considered reliable sources. Even professionals can have uncommon views, though, so do some research. Have the sources published peer-reviewed data on the subject? There are a few folks with impressive-sounding degrees and titles who claim that aliens visiting Earth constructed the pyramids, but an overwhelming majority of scientists, engineers, and historians disagree with them.


The author's purpose for writing this passage was to __________.


A. argue that research is not always effective in weeding out unreliable sources
B. highlight the ways in which reliable sources can be used to debunk most conspiracy theories
C. emphasize the importance of researching sources to determine their reliability
D. suggest that reliable sources seek to inform readers about the dangers of conspiracy theories

But what did the passages in Egyptian mean? Did they contain exactly the same message as the Greek passage? The last sentence of the Greek text said, "This decree shall be inscribed on a stela [slab] of hard stone in sacred [hieroglyphic] and native [demotic] and Greek characters," so it seemed clear that the inscription was the same in all three languages. That way, the priests' statement could be read by Egyptians who understood Greek, as well as by those who knew only one or both of the Egyptian languages. But the scholars were still far from being able to decipher either the hieroglyphs or the demotic writing.

(the poem)

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a gray mist on the sea’s face and a grey dawn breaking

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.


I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way, where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn¹ from a laughing fellow-rover²,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

There’s a one-story house in which everything is yellow. Yellow walls, yellow doors, yellow furniture. What color are the stairs?
