I think it’s a good idea to take the time to get in touch with our loved ones. In this context, a human might say that it shows that we care about them and that we value their presence in our lives. It can also strengthen our bonds and make us feel happier and more connected. Of course, everyone has different preferences and needs when it comes to communication, so it’s important to respect that as well.
I definitely think that it is a good idea to take the time to get in touch with our loved ones. Maintaining healthy relationships with the people we care about is essential for our mental and emotional well-being. Research has shown that people who have strong social connections are happier, healthier, and live longer. When we take the time to reach out to our loved ones, we strengthen those connections and build a support system that can help us through life's challenges. In addition, staying in touch with our loved ones helps us to feel more connected to the world around us. It reminds us that we are not alone and that we have people who care about us and are there for us. Overall, staying in touch with our loved ones is an important part of maintaining healthy relationships and improving our well-being. So, I encourage everyone to take the time to reach out to the people they care about and nurture those important connections.

The pineapple is a tropical fruit with a unique look. It got its name because it looked like a pine cone. Although most of the production of pineapple takes place in Hawaii, this was not always the case. This is because the pineapple is native to South America. It was brought back to Europe on Christopher Columbus’ second voyage. From there, it spread in popularity all over the world.
Not until the early 1900s did the cultivation of the fruit begin in Hawaii. James Dole helped distribute pineapples in the U.S. He started a pineapple plantation in Oahu, one of the islands of Hawaii. He also began canning pineapples with the help of machines. This helped make pineapples affordable and available to the masses.

Explanation:
In the given passage, Frederick Douglass uses a mix of long and short sentences to vary his sentence structure and make his writing more interesting for the reader. For instance, the first sentence is a short and declarative sentence that expresses his intention to take to the water to gain freedom. The second sentence is longer and more complex, explaining his plan in detail. Then he uses another short sentence to conclude his thought. By mixing the length of the sentences, Douglass creates a rhythm and flow to his writing, which keeps the reader engaged and interested in the story.

Make it clear who you are addressing in the letter and what you hope to accomplish.
Answers
Answer: this is gonna be a long one lol
Explanation:
There are lots of issues in our community and in our schools, but one problem that seems to be in both is the fight for equality. We all want to be heard and understood but for some, it might be harder than others. This isn't just for one specific group it is for many and all.
Everyday, when you look at your phone or even just outside at the people what do you notice? They all look different, maybe the same in some ways but different in most. But physical features are just the beginning because underneath we all are unique and special. Some people embrace their uniqueness, but a lot hide it away in fear of unacceptance. For example, the fight for equal rights in black citizens, even though they say that fight ended a long time ago we can't ignore the fact that they are still looked at differently. Why? Who knows, and no, not everyone is like this but that doesn't make it easier for them. Another example, over 28.9% of black citizens are living below the poverty threshold as opposed to 18% white americans. Isn't that crazy? This is evidence that supports the thought about black citizens not having equal rights.
I hope that this has opened your mind to this issue. I want equality for all and a place where no matter what your skin looks like, where you were raised and even what happened long long ago in the early stages of this nation, you can live happily and to the fullest. We as a community can do our part and make this community a free, accepting, and fair place for us all to live.
Here is an example of an open letter:
To the Principal and the School Board,
I am writing to express my concern about the recent decision to cancel the annual school trip due to budget cuts. I believe that this decision is unfair and detrimental to the students’ learning and well-being. I urge you to reconsider this decision and find alternative ways to fund the trip.
The school trip is a valuable opportunity for students to explore new places, learn new things, and bond with their classmates and teachers. It is also a reward for their hard work and achievements throughout the year. The trip helps students develop important skills such as curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and communication. It also exposes them to different cultures, perspectives, and experiences that enrich their knowledge and understanding of the world.
By canceling the trip, you are depriving the students of these benefits and sending a message that their education and happiness are not a priority. You are also breaking a tradition that has been cherished by many generations of students and teachers. The trip is something that the students look forward to and prepare for all year long. It is a source of motivation and excitement for them.
I understand that the school is facing financial challenges and that you have to make difficult decisions. However, I think that there are other ways to save money without sacrificing the quality of education and the well-being of the students. For example, you could reduce unnecessary expenses such as printing costs, office supplies, or catering services. You could also seek donations or sponsorships from local businesses or organizations that support education. You could also organize fundraising events or activities that involve the students, parents, and teachers.
I hope that you will take my letter into consideration and reconsider your decision to cancel the school trip. I believe that the trip is a worthwhile investment that will benefit the students in many ways. I also believe that the school community can work together to find solutions to overcome the financial challenges. Please do not let the budget cuts ruin this valuable opportunity for the students.
Sincerely,
A concerned student

Perhaps you wanted pizza for dinner, but were out voted by the rest of the family who wanted chili. This is similar to what happens in a community. One person has to give up a right for the good of the group. Sometimes citizens' duties and rights conflict with each other. A good example is a public protest. People have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe.

How does Eleanor’s mother, Rebecca, feel about the likelihood that Germany will invade Poland? Use three pieces of evidence from the passage to support your answer.
Answers
Summers in Warsaw are relatively mild: a bit humid, not too warm. That summer, 1939,
Eleanor’s family had spent all of July and August visiting her grandparents, who lived on a farm
in the country. She and her older sister Mary had spent the month hiking all around their
grandparents’ property and the surrounding farms, collecting leaves and flowers to dry and
keep in their scrapbooks. Each evening, they would carefully hang the day’s treasures up on a
nail in the loft where they slept. Their grandfather helped them label the plants with a piece of
cloth that they tied to the nail. By the end of the month, they had quite a collection—the loft
was fragrant with the smell of dried flowers and grass, and the shadows of the plants were
stiff and looked like winter.
At the end of August, they packed up their big trunk in preparation for returning to the
city. Eleanor was sitting in the kitchen helping her mother and grandmother pack sandwiches
and apples for the train trip.
“Are you sure you want to go back?” Eleanor’s grandmother asked her mother.
“What else could we do?” her mother said. She shrugged. When Eleanor’s mother
shrugged like that, it meant that Eleanor’s father had probably made the decision.
“Stay here, Rebecca. Stay with the children.”
Eleanor’s mother shook her head. “Joseph has already decided,” she said. “We’re going
to wait it out.”
Eleanor’s grandmother shook her head. “This is a bad idea,” she said.
Eleanor’s mother did not respond. They finished packing the lunches in silence.
That night in bed, Eleanor couldn’t sleep. They would have to leave the farm very early
the next morning, but Eleanor’s mind was busy—as her mother would say, it was whirring and
stirring, mostly with questions. Why would it be a bad idea to go home? Why wouldn’t her
mother want to go back? Her father was there, had been working all summer in the dental
office he owned with his brother. She poked Mary to see if she was awake, but Mary just
groaned and turned over in bed.
Eleanor stared at the wooden ceiling of the loft. For some reason, she felt scared.
Maybe it was the way her grandmother’s voice sounded. Or the strange cryptic warning she
had given her mother. At eleven years old, Eleanor knew some things about the world, but not
much. She was just beginning to get a feel for the ways people spoke and the hidden messages
in their words. Either way, Eleanor was not sure she wanted the summer to end.
The next morning, Eleanor’s mother woke them up gently. It was still dark out, and
Eleanor’s grandparents were asleep. Mary carried the basket full of food, their mother carried their trunk with a sling, and Eleanor held her little brother Alfred’s hand as they walked a mile
in the woods to the train station. On the train, all three children fell asleep. Eleanor woke up at
one point to see her mother staring out the window, her arms crossed over her chest, her
eyebrows furrowed low over her eyes.
When they reached Warsaw, their father was at the train station with Uncle Abraham.
Eleanor was excited to see her father, and she ran into his arms when he held them out for a
hug. He picked her up easily, and she felt immediately safe—all of her worries and fears from
the night before melted away as he welcomed the rest of the family and they walked back to
their home.
At the house, Mary went to her room to read and Alfred took a nap. Eleanor sat on the
floor of the front room listening to the radio behind the couch as her parents talked. Eleanor
was sure they didn’t realize she was there.
“I’m worried, Joseph,” her mother said.
“I have very good sources who say that it’s going to be fine. Hitler signed a
nonaggression pact with us… He can’t flout international law and opinion so easily.”
“Look what happened to Austria last year! And Czechoslovakia. Did you not hear about
this Eichmann person in Prague? Jews had to pay damages when their homes and businesses
were vandalized! Do you not get the news in Warsaw?”
Eleanor turned the volume of the radio down and inched closer to the back of the
couch. Maybe this is what her grandmother was worried about… This Eichmann person.
“Rebecca, please be realistic and calm. Has your mother put hysterical notions in your
head?”
“This isn’t about my mother. This is about what’s happening in Poland.” Eleanor’s
mother sounded furious. She stood abruptly and left the room.
Eleanor’s father sighed and leaned back into the couch so it creaked. He looked over the
back of the couch and saw Eleanor lying on the floor.
“You little sneak,” he said, and smiled. “Don’t listen to your mother. Poland is a civilized
country, just like any other.”

Based on information in the article, which best describes the difference between the child labor rates in Nepal and Mongolia?
A.Child labor rates have increased in Mongolia since 1990, but decreased in Nepal since 1990.
B.Child labor rates have increased in Mongolia since 1990, but stayed the same in Nepal since 1990.
C.Child labor rates have increased in Nepal since 1990, but decreased in Mongolia since 1990.
D.Child labor rates have increased in Nepal since 1990, but stayed the same in Mongolia since 1990.
In 2000, there were 127 million children working in Asia. By 2004, that number had fallen to 122 million. Officials are pleased that child labor rates have dropped, but they say the decline isn't happening fast enough.
Those numbers came from a recent report from the International Labor Organization (ILO). The report focused on South Asia, which includes Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and other nations. It concluded that despite the decrease in the number of working children ages five to 14, South Asia remains a child labor hot spot.
The report discussed child labor in several nations and identified Nepal as one of the worst offenders. As of 2004, almost 40 percent of Nepalese children aged 10 to 14 were working. Many continue to do strenuous physical labor in mines, quarries, and carpet factories. Still, even in Nepal, child labor rates are declining; they had been near 50 percent in 1990.
The Philippines has improved, but problems remain in some industries. Many Filipino children still work in fireworks production, deep-sea fishing, and mining. The country has a national action plan to change this.
"The [anti-child labor] laws are all there," said Filipino Undersecretary of Labor and Employment Manuel G. Imson. Imson says that the government is working with the police to enforce these laws.
In some cases, child labor has emerged where it was previously nonexistent. There were few or no child laborers in Mongolia until 1990; today, up to 10,000 children there work in gold, coal, and mineral mines. Kh. Ganbaatar, executive director of the Mongolian Employers' Federation, blames the problem on economic changes as well as on natural disasters. Several years ago, winter storms killed millions of livestock. This made it harder for families to maintain their traditional herding way of life. Many of these families were forced to send their children to work.
In fact, child labor often develops because area families cannot make ends meet and need extra income. In other cases, parents want to send their children to school but cannot afford the related fees.
"A large number of working poor means that we have a large number of people who are unable to support children [going] to school," said Panudda Boonpala, senior child labor specialist at the ILO.
In August, government representatives from nearly 40 countries as well as workers' and employers' organizations attended an ILO conference. Topics on their agenda included migration, competitiveness, productivity, and youth employment (child labor). At a session on youth employment, participants watched a video that showed children working at a gold mine in Mongolia.
The ILO says that it will try to end some of the worst forms of child labor within 10 years. Its officials point out that attitudes about working children have changed in Asia. This is contributing to the reduction in child labor rates.
"I think 10 years ago there was lots of denial," Panudda said. Still, she said, nations will not be able to end child labor unless they are willing to put a lot of effort and funding into the fight against it.

GOLD IN THE SKY
By Alan E. Nourse
Chapter 1. Trouble Times Two
The sun was glowing dull red as it slipped down behind the curving horizon of Mars, but Gregory Hunter was not able to see it.
There was no viewscreen in the ship's cabin; it was too tiny for that. Greg twisted around in the cockpit that had been built just big enough to hold him, and shifted his long legs against the brace-webbing, trying to get them comfortable.
He knew he was afraid ... but nobody else knew that, not even the captain waiting at the control board on the satellite, and in spite of the fear Greg Hunter would not have traded places at this moment with anyone else in the universe.
He had worked too hard and waited too long for this moment.
He heard the count-down monitor clicking in his ears, and his hands clenched into fists. How far from Mars would he be 10 minutes from now? He didn't know. Farther than any man had ever traveled before in the space of 10 minutes, he knew, and faster. How far and how fast would depend on him alone.
"All set, Greg?" It was the captain's voice in the earphones.
"All set, Captain."
"You understand the program?"
Greg nodded. "24 hours out, 24 hours back, 90 degrees to the ecliptic1, and all the acceleration2 I can stand both ways."
Greg grinned to himself. He thought of the months of conditioning he had gone through to prepare for this run ... the hours in the centrifuge to build up his tolerance to acceleration, the careful diet, the rigorous hours of physical conditioning. It was only one experiment, one tiny step in the work that could someday give men the stars, but to Gregory Hunter at this moment it was everything.
"Good luck, then." The captain cut off, and the blastoff buzzer sounded.
He was off. His heart hammered in his throat, and his eyes ached fiercely, but he paid no attention. His finger crept to the air-speed indicator, then to the cut-off switch. When the pressure became too great, when he began to black out, he would press it.
But not yet. It was speed they wanted; they had to know how much acceleration a man could take for how long and still survive, and now it was up to him to show them.
Fleetingly, he thought of Tom ... poor old stick-in-the-mud Tom, working away in his grubby little Mars-bound laboratory, watching bacteria grow. Tom could never have qualified for a job like this. Tom couldn't even go into free-fall for 10 minutes without getting sick all over the place. Greg felt a surge of pity for his brother, and then a twinge of malicious anticipation. Wait until Tom heard the reports on this run! It was all right to spend your time poking around with bottles and test tubes if you couldn't do anything else, but it took something special to pilot an XP ship for Project Star-Jump. And after this run was over, even Tom would have to admit it....
There was a lurch, and quite suddenly the enormous pressure was gone.
Something was wrong. He hadn't pushed the cut-off button, yet the ship's engines were suddenly silent. He jabbed at the power switch. Nothing happened. Then the side-jets sputted, and he was slammed sideways into the cot.
He snapped on the radio speaker. "Control ... can you hear me? Something's gone wrong out here...."
