Explanation:
In chapter 24 of T.H.U.G , Starr is encouraged to use her weapon". In the context of this chapter, what is Starr's Weapon" and how is she using it?
Answer:
Explanation:
The most important thing that Starr says loudly and publicly at the protest is, “Khalil lived!” In doing so, she reclaims Khalil’s humanity and emphasizes that Khalil’s life had value. Because the media portrayed Khalil as a drug dealer and therefore inherently dangerous, so much of the narrative surrounding Khalil involved debating whether he deserved to die or not. Starr argues that the details around Khalil’s drug dealing and possible gang connections distract from the issue at hand, which is that One-Fifteen shot an unarmed teenage boy during a traffic stop. By shouting before both the community and the police that Khalil’s life mattered, she re-centers the narrative to focus on the life lost, to proclaim that a teenage boy died because One-Fifteen saw a dangerous thug instead of a child. Starr and Ms. Ofrah call this speech Starr’s weapon because her speech both fights against the system that indicted Khalil in his own murder, and fights for the boy she loved.
The extent of the police force used against legitimate protests signifies law enforcement’s resistance to change and collusion with the cycle of Thug Life. Instead of working with the residents of Garden Heights to protect and serve, the police make the neighborhood unsafe for the people who live there. Significantly, the police treat the peaceful protesters the same as those who burnt down buildings and threw rocks, demonstrating that they view the words of black resistance as equally threatening. According to Maverick’s explanation of Thug Life, protests and riots function as black communities holding the police responsible for their role in Thug Life: the criminalization and death of black boys like Khalil. The vehemence of the police response shows that they view perpetuating the criminalization of black people as part of their job and that they do not include black communities as communities worthy of protection.
Starr’s courage in speaking out for Khalil and bringing attention to King’s damaging influence inspires the residents of Garden Heights to stand up against King. Whereas multiple people once considered Mr. Lewis’s tirade against King foolish and dangerous, now multiple neighbors step forward as witnesses to assure that King gets arrested for arson. Starr’s courage in fighting to free Khalil’s memory from both King and the police has transformed the idea of “snitching” on King from dangerous to brave and noble. Because he sees Starr’s willingness to face danger in order to fight for change in the community, DeVante cites Starr’s speech as a reason why he will testify about King’s drug dealings. Starr’s courage may not have indicted One-Fifteen, but she has galvanized the neighborhood and encouraged the residents to fight for themselves.
By arresting King, the police demonstrates how law enforcement can create positive change in Garden Heights if they work with the community. King’s arrest contrasts with the police’s attack on Maverick in Chapter Eleven because the police listen to the Garden Heights residents and do not use excessive force. When the police attack Maverick, they ignore Mr. Lewis’s interventions and assume they understand the situation better than the community. Furthermore, they use the situation as an excuse to exercise a personal grudge. Here, the police actively seek witnesses to the crime before moving to arrest King, allowing the community to identify the real threats. Although we know the police have had their eye on King for a while, particularly after Mr. Lewis’s and Starr’s interviews, they do not allow their desire to arrest King to overpower the actual situation. This effective policing helps break the cycle of Thug Life both by removing King from the community and because the police have not criminalized the whole community, but instead allowed the community to identify what is hurting it.

What is a central idea? (1 point)
1. a main topic
2. an area of concern
3. the most important idea
4. the supporting information
Answer:
3. The most important idea.
Explanation:
The central idea of any passage or text is the most important point or topic that the passage or text is talking about. It states the purpose of the whole text or passage.
The central idea is not the same as the main topic. The main topic is the topic that the text but the central idea is the main idea of what the text or passage or paragraph is about.
For instance, in a passage about birds, the main topic is "birds" but the central idea can be about how birds are, or how they help the environment, or how they migrate from one place to another, depending on the passage.
Thus, the correct answer is option 3.

write a report to your school principal about a fight which happened in ur class 450 words
Answer: It happened all to sudden and quick. John from our class who is well known for his behavioral issues is always found to be angry and moody. The slightest inconvenience to what he wants can easily make the boy flustered and burn red in anger. John looked pale even today like always and that he happened to reach the classroom late in the morning. The other kid Jack made some comments in a low toned manner about the boy who came late to class. John overheard and glared straight into the eyes of Jack who used to sit right behind him in class. Jack always used to make fun out of John by calling him a 'fat pig'. Jack tends to poke John from time and again even in between classes but John never responded to his acts. However, today when Jack poked John on his back, John lost it all and took out all the anger that he had in him on the other kid. He stood up straight looked back and without a hesitation threw a punch in the face of the notorious kid Jack. Jack tried to fight him back but all in vain, John landed a couple more punches to Jack's face which made him unconscious. Mr. Brown who taught us history immediately rushed out of the room to go get some help.

According to the law of demand, demand for a product falls when:
A. its supply rises
B. its supply falls.
C. its price falls.
D. its price rises
Answer: d
Explanation:
According to the law of demand, demand for a product falls when it's price rises.
What is law of demand?In microeconomics, the law of demand is a fundamental principle which states that there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded. In other words, "conditional on all else being equal, as the price of a good increases , quantity demanded will decrease ; conversely, as the price of a good decreases , quantity demanded will increase ".
Alfred Marshall worded this as: "When we say that a person's demand for anything increases, we mean that he will buy more of it than he would before at the same price, and that he will buy as much of it as before at a higher price". The law of demand, however, only makes a qualitative statement in the sense that it describes the direction of change in the amount of quantity demanded but not the magnitude of change.

Read the excerpt from The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England. In 1574 the city authorities are given powers to restrict playhouses, forcing the actors to find new premises in the suburbs. This becomes a golden opportunity for John Brayne and his brother-in-law, James Burbage, who in 1576 build a new theater, simply called The Theatre, at Shoreditch, just half a mile north of Bishopsgate. The following year a second theater, the Curtain, is built just two hundred yards away. Despite some heavy opposition from Puritan preachers and moralists, both theaters are successful. Which event happened third
Answer: c. the Curtain, a second theater in the area, was built.
Explanation:
The first event was that the city authorities were given powers to be able to restrict playhouses which had the effect of forcing actors to find new premises to perform.
The second event was John Byrne and his brother-in-law, James Burbage, taking advantage of this restriction to build new theatres. The third event is therefore the establishment of the Curtain, another theatre that was built not too far away from the first theatre.

what does it mean Education is the great equalizer
Answer:
It means that Education lessens the challenges you will face in life. The more knowledge you gain the more opportunities will open up to allow individuals to achieve better possibilities in career and personal growth. Education is the equalizer because students who receive a poor education, or who drop out of school before graduating, can end up on the wrong side of a lifelong gap in employment, earnings, even life expectancy.
Read the passage from “Edgar Allan Poe.” “In speaking of my mother you have touched a string to which my heart fully responds. To have known her is to be an object of great interest in my eyes. I myself never knew her—and never knew the affection of a father. Both died (as you may remember) within a few weeks of each other. I have many occasional dealings with Adversity—but the want of parental affection has been the heaviest of my trials.” In this passage, the author quotes Poe to define
a cause of his dark themes.
an effect of his dark themes.
the central idea of his dark themes.
the relationships in his dark themes.
