Question: What were the saddest memories you remember? Answer: I think the saddest memory is the day we had to leave our farm. I know my mother and father were worried. They did not know what would happen to us. We had no idea where we would be sent. People were all crying and many families were upset. Some believed we would not be treated well, and maybe killed. There were many disturbing rumors. Everyone was easily upset and there were many arguments. It was a horrible experience for all of us, the old people like my grandparents, my parents and children like me. We were all innocent. The government had no real reason to send us into these camps. There were racists who did not want the Japanese to own land and begin to prosper. Racism, prejudice, greed, and lack of political leadership caused the evacuation and internment.

Answers

C. Hinting at things that will occur later

Mankind being originally equals in the order of creation, the equality could only be destroyed by some subsequent circumstance; the distinctions of rich, and poor, may in a great measure be accounted for, and that without having recourse to the harsh, ill-sounding names of oppression and avarice. Oppression is often the CONSEQUENCE, but seldom or never the MEANS of riches; and though avarice will preserve a man from being necessitously poor, it generally makes him too timorous to be wealthy.But there is another and greater distinction, for which no truly natural or religious reason can be assigned, and that is, the distinction of men into KINGS and SUBJECTS. Male and female are the distinctions of nature, good and bad the distinctions of heaven; but how a race of men came into the world so exalted above the rest, and distinguished like some new species, is worth inquiring into, and whether they are the means of happiness or of misery to mankind.

In his editorial, Allen talks about the sanctity of the human conscience and the enlightenment that comes from debate. Explain how the connotations of these words convey his tone.

Answers

  let's analyse what the "sanctity of human conscience is". Sanctity here means that something is sacred - and that it can't be questioned. This gives the connotation that human conscience (for him: the ability to make one's judgements) is important (sacred).- so this ability to make one's judgement is important to the author.

Then the "enlightenement" - this bring with itself the connotation that the debate is very educational, teaches us about something, in a way that's perhaps life-changing. This is also reflected in his tone: that the debate itself is very important.

Allen uses these words to convey his feelings about personal freedom. He believes that each person has the right to their own beliefs and opinions (sanctity of human conscience). The “enlightenment” that comes from the debate just means that he believes in the freedom to test these ideas. The debate can be educational, important, and can possibly change your outlook on some ideas.

Which statements describe how Antinous is portrayed in this excerpt from Book 21 of the Odyssey?

Antinous saw, and said:

"Hence to your fields, ye rustics! hence away,
Nor stain with grief the pleasures of the day;
Nor to the royal heart recall in vain
The sad remembrance of a perish'd man.
Enough her precious tears already flow—
Or share the feast with due respect; or go
To weep abroad, and leave to us the bow,
No vulgar task! Ill suits this courtly crew
That stubborn horn which brave Ulysses drew.
I well remember (for I gazed him o'er
While yet a child), what majesty he bore!
And still (all infant as I was) retain
The port, the strength, the grandeur of the man."

He said, but in his soul fond joys arise,
And his proud hopes already win the prize.
To speed the flying shaft through every ring,
Wretch! is not thine: the arrows of the king
Shall end those hopes, and fate is on the wing!

The statements which describe how Antinous is portrayed in this excerpt from Book 21 of the Odyssey are:

He is deceitful and unfaithful to Ulysses.

He wants to win the contest and take the place of Ulysses.

He mocks Ulysses's bravery and strength.

Antinous was the suitor who was the first to be killed by Odyssey. When Odyssey in disguise as a beggar asks for his turn to compete in the contest, Antinous and other suitors went against this. They feared that Odyssey would win the contest and Penelope too.  Antinous wanted to start the contest the next day. He mocked at the Odyssey's request to participating in the contest.

At first he mocks the old man for wanting to try to string the bow and shoot.  He goes further by saying that only Ulysses could string the bow and he witness how he was able to do it effortlessly and shot it with great accuracy. He was surprised at how easily the beggar strung the bow and shot it through the rings.  At this point it was revealed that the old man was Ulysses and was no ready to take his revenge.
