The american identity is comparable to the way that idividuals from other countries identify with their own country of residence.

The American identity is similar to other countries' identification with their place of residence.

Just as Americans identify with their country based on shared values, traditions, and experiences, individuals from other countries also have a unique sense of identity and belonging to their place of residence.

This identity can be shaped by cultural, social, and political factors, as well as historical events and national narratives. For example, people in Japan may identify with their country's strong sense of community and respect for traditions, while Australians may identify with their country's laid-back and adventurous spirit.

Ultimately, while each country's identity is unique, the sense of connection and pride that individuals feel towards their place of residence is a universal experience.

(1) I don't know whether you have ever seen a map of a person's mind. (2)Doctors sometimes draw maps of other parts of you, and your own map can become intensely interesting, but catch them trying to draw a map of a child's mind, which is not only confused, but keeps going round all the time. (3) There are zigzag lines on it, just like your temperature on a card, and these are probably roads in the island, for the Neverland is always more or less an island, with astonishing splashes of color here and there, and coral reefs and rakish-looking craft in the offing, and savages and lonely lairs, and gnomes who are mostly tailors, and caves through which a river runs, and princes with six elder brothers, and a hut fast going to decay, and one very small old lady with a hooked nose. (4) It would be an easy map if that were all, but there is also first day at school, religion, fathers, the round pond, needle-work, murders, hangings, verbs that take the dative, chocolate pudding day, getting into braces, say ninety-nine, three-pence for pulling out your tooth yourself, and so on, and either these are part of the island or they are another map showing through, and it is all rather confusing, especially as nothing will stand still.

(5) Of course the Neverlands vary a good deal. John's, for instance, had a lagoon with flamingoes flying over it at which John was shooting, while Michael, who was very small, had a flamingo with lagoons flying over it. (6) John lived in a boat turned upside down on the sands, Michael in a wigwam, Wendy in a house of leaves deftly sewn together. (7) John had no friends, Michael had friends at night, Wendy had a pet wolf forsaken by its parents, but on the whole the Neverlands have a family resemblance, and if they stood still in a row you could say of them that they have each other's nose, and so forth. (8) On these magic shores children at play are for ever beaching their coracles [simple boat]. (9) We too have been there; we can still hear the sound of the surf, though we shall land no more.

(10) Of all delectable islands the Neverland is the snuggest and most compact, not large and sprawly, you know, with tedious distances between one adventure and another, but nicely crammed. (11) When you play at it by day with the chairs and table-cloth, it is not in the least alarming, but in the two minutes before you go to sleep it becomes very real. (12)That is why there are night-lights.

Read the excerpt from "Elevator Systems of the Eiffel Tower, 1889" by Robert M. Vogel.

The first complete elevator machine in the United States, constructed in 1855, was a complex and inefficient contrivance built around an oscillating-cylinder steam engine. The advantages of an elevator system independent of the mill drive quickly became apparent, and by 1860 improved steam elevator machines were being produced in some quantity, but almost exclusively for freight service. It is not clear when the first elevator was installed explicitly for passenger service, but it was probably in 1857, when Otis placed one in a store on Broadway at Broome Street in New York.

In the decade following the Civil War, tall buildings had just begun to emerge; and, although the skylines of the world’s great cities were still dominated by church spires, there was increasing activity in the development of elevator apparatus adapted to the transportation of people as well as of merchandise. Operators of hotels and stores gradually became aware of the commercial advantages to be gained by elevating their patrons even one or two floors above the ground, by machinery. The steam engine formed the foundation of the early elevator industry, but as building heights increased it was gradually replaced by hydraulic, and ultimately by electrical, systems.

According to this excerpt, what was an underlying cause of increased steam elevator production?

construction of tall buildings
the need to move supplies in mills
freight service operations
commercial advantages

The Basics of Slider Care
Lindsay Rock
1Owning a pet is a great responsibility. Cats and dogs need love and attention, medical care, food, water, and much more. Dogs require walks several times a day. Hamsters and gerbils need food and water, fresh bedding for their cages, and toys to gnaw on. Many people decide to purchase turtles as pets. They mistakenly believe that caring for turtles is easier than caring for other pets. Toss them into a tank with some water and food and you’re done, right? Wrong. Properly caring for turtles takes a lot of time and a lot of careful attention.
2One of the easiest turtles to find in pet stores is the red-eared slider. These turtles live in the wild in most areas of the United States, especially in the Southeast. They are freshwater turtles that fancy ponds, marshes, and other slow-moving bodies of water. They are excellent swimmers, but you can often see them lounging in the sun on rocks and logs. This lounge time is known as "basking."
3Red-eared sliders are easy to recognize. Like all turtles, they have shells. The top part of a turtle’s shell is the carapace. The bottom part is the plastron. The shells of red-eared sliders are greenish brown in color. Sliders’ skin is green with yellow stripes. Just behind their eyes, red-eared sliders have two red spots, which explain how they got their name. Sliders have webbed feet, which help them swim, and sharp claws.
4If you choose to get a red-eared slider as a pet, keep in mind that these turtles grow to be as large as dinner plates! Over time, you will have to buy a bigger enclosure in which to house your slider, as it will outgrow its smaller home. Setting up a tank for a slider is no easy task. These turtles need both water and a basking area. You must carefully monitor water temperatures. Water that is too cold or too warm is not good for sliders. Water temperatures should range between seventy-five and eighty-five degrees. In addition, you should clean the tank almost daily. The basking area will need a heat source, such as a light bulb. Turtles are cold-blooded. They need external heat to keep them warm because they cannot produce heat within their bodies. The temperature in the basking area should be between eighty-five and ninety degrees.
5Red-eared sliders eat a variety of foods including both plants and meat. They will eat tiny fish, snails, worms, and insects. In the wild, they will often feed on aquatic plants that naturally grow in the water. In place of these plants, you can feed them dark, leafy greens such as lettuce. As sliders age, they eat more plants than meat.
6One final note: Always thoroughly wash your hands after handling your slider. Turtles carry bacteria that can make people very sick. Be sure to cleanse hands with warm, soapy water. Scrub around fingernails and between fingers to make sure that you get your hands clean.

Thorin Oakenshield is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's. In the 1937 novel, the Hobbit. Thorin is best known as The leader of the thirteen dwarves journeying to the Lonely Mountain. Thorin is the descendant of the King Under the Mountain who lost his throne when Smaug came and ousted the dwarves from their home. He has great bravery and integrity, but his love for the treasure that was stolen from him and his people leads him to behave stubbornly and selfishly even after he has won it back. The name Thorin is a boy's name of Norse origin meaning "brave, daring one". This is a dwarf's name that first appeared in the thirteenth-century mythology compilation Prose Edda, which, along with the Poetic Edda, represents nearly all of pagan Scandinavian mythology. Tolkien later used the name for the character Thorin II Oakenshield of The Hobbit.Thorin had a white beard and wore a sky-blue hood with a long silver tassel. Around his neck, he wore a golden chain, upon which he attached his grandfather's key. He wore a belt of gold and jewels, and his stockings were yellow. Thorin was the son of Thráin II, the older brother of Frerin and Dís, the grandson of King Thrór and the uncle of Fíli and Kíli. Thorni has other names such as King under the Mountain or Mountain King. Thorin is smart, proud, brave, intelligent, greedy, unkind, changing, forgiving and a bit stubborn. He was sophisticated, noble, and exuded royalty and power, but tended to treat his allies as equals and like family. A quote by Thorin developing his personality from bad to good is “If More people valued home, above gold this world would be a merrier place quoted in (chapter 18). A second quote by Thorin being forgiving is “I would take back my words and my deeds at the Gate. You did what only a true friend would do. Forgive me. I was too blind to see” (chapter 18, ). A third quote of Thorin being disdainful is quoted in (chapter 1) and it says, Thorin indeed was very haughty, and said nothing about service; but poor Mr. Baggins said he was sorry so many times, that at last, he grunted “pray don’t mention it,” and stopped frowning. And The last quote of Thorin forgives his friends he says on his deathbed I wish to part in friendship from you, and I would take back my words and deeds at the Gate he says this because he wanted to ask biblo that I'm sorry for what I did do you but hopes we are still friends his is one of Thorni last Quotes and it found in (Chapter 18). These are four quotes showing Thorni Though and mind. Thorin fought using typical dwarven axes, a bow, and swords as well as an elven blade called Orcrist, which was given to him by Gandalf the Grey. Before Thorin died, he made his peace with Bilbo by commending the Hobbit's bravery and good character, apologizing for his harsh words. His last words were, "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. But, sad or merry, I must leave it now. Farewell." Biblo told him help is on the way but when Biblo Baggins said that King Thorin Oakenshield already died.

PLZ HELP!!!! Below is the story. I will put the questions in the comments below!

My father’s family is not a musical family. They are a family of words, a family that thrives on long discussions, Sunday crossword puzzles, and puns. My brother has my father’s dark hair, his love of a good argument, and his incisive wit. I take after my mother. From her I inherited a curious nature, a sense of adventure, bright red hair, and a face full of freckles. I did not, contrary to her hopes, inherit a talent for the piano. That fact was established beyond doubt after prolonged and futile attempts to draw music from me.
The piano lessons began when I was four. My mother was convinced that I would be a child prodigy, one of the rare, startling creatures who sits down at the piano for the first time and discovers, in a few swift adjustments of fingers, how to make the piano sing. She had made some phone calls and found the ideal teacher to nurture such a prodigy—Madame Oblenka, a stern Russian woman of indeterminate age, whose tight bun and pursed lips were enough to intimidate a wild horse into submission. Madame Oblenka, who expected a little M o z a r t, was not overly delighted to find herself saddled with a little girl banging her fists on the keys.

I tried to please her. “Feel the music,” she urged. I “felt” it and winced my ears—for what is more unpleasant than a series of wrong notes played in succession? She “felt” my music, too, which is why she always left with an even deeper scowl than when she came. My parents endured the sounds of my practicing, buoyed by dreams of me one day taking the stage in a famous recital hall. Madame Oblenka survived our lessons by wearing earplugs. I endured in whatever manner I could invent. Once, when I was ten, I managed to record one of my own wretched rehearsals. In order to escape my practice sessions, I would close myself behind the door of the piano room, put on the tape recording, and read until the tape had finished. That method worked for a week, until my mother began to wonder why I always missed the same B-sharp. She knocked on the door, and, receiving no answer, came in to check on me. She found that I had fallen asleep while the tape of my performance played on and on.

I was twelve when my parents finally acknowledged that any latent talent I had was not about to emerge any time soon. My mother, refusing to admit defeat, told me to pick another instrument. “Choose anything you want, Honey,” she said, assuming that freedom of choice would inspire devotion. I thought long and hard and chose the drums. My parents, acutely sensitive to noise, would be less than overjoyed by a daily bombardment of pounding. I imagined my father in his study, cotton wads in his ears, wincing each time the cymbal crashed. He, apparently, had exactly the same thoughts as mine, and promptly vetoed the idea.

My next choice was the tuba. I stubbornly decided that if I couldn’t play the drums, I would pick the biggest and loudest instrument I knew. However, the music teacher, a large, flabby man by the name of Mr. Tuttle, was lazy by nature and refused to travel to our home. “If you want to play,” he said, “I’ll teach you after school.” Luck was once again on my side. The aisle of the school bus was too narrow to accommodate my tuba case; if I wanted to learn to play tuba, I would have to walk to school with it. That was out of the question, so the tuba, too, was out.

I worked my way through several other instruments—violin, trombone, penny whistle—before my mother hit on another idea. Maybe I wasn’t meant to be an instrumentalist but rather a singer. After all, I was always walking around humming pop tunes from the radio, and when I screamed for my brother to come to dinner, my voice was plenty loud.
Mom helped me rehearse a song to audition for the school musical. I didn’t get a part. I didn’t make the chorus either, but the drama teacher assured me that he’d find a special spot just for me, one more suited to my talents. He put me backstage, painting scenery. Once I recovered from my sense of injury, I realized the wisdom of his choice. I loved the bustling, practical backstage world, and I discovered that I had a knack for constructing and painting. I loved the challenge of taking our scanty supplies and using them to make something beautiful. Imagining a scene and then seeing it emerge before me—this, to me, was close to magic.

To give my parents credit, when they noticed my newfound interest in set design, they eagerly embraced it. In fact, immediately after the show ended, Mom offered to send me to weekend art classes. Her hand was on the telephone, ready to start calling around, when I stopped her. “Mom,” I said, “don’t push me. Right now, I just want to have fun with art. I don’t want to lose that.”

Read the excerpt from chapter 23 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
