Read this paragraph from I Never Had It Made.
Branch Rickey lost that fight, but when he became the boss of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1943, he felt the time for equality in baseball had come. He knew that achieving it would be terribly difficult. There would be deep resentment, determined opposition, and perhaps even racial violence. He was convinced he was morally right, and he shrewdly sensed that making the game a truly national one would have healthy financial results. He took his case before the startled directors of the club, and using persuasive eloquence, he won the first battle in what would be a long and bitter campaign. He was voted permission to make the Brooklyn club the pioneer in bringing blacks into baseball.
What is the author’s purpose for including this paragraph?
to inform readers about Branch Rickey’s professional career

Answer:

How is Brian showing optimism at the end of chapter 8? (Hatchet)
Answer:
When he figures out how to create sparks, Brian gets very happy and excitedly continues on with his duties.
Explanation:
Brian examines the wall where the hatchet hit and finds a harder, darker stone that caused the hatchet to spark. He quickly learns that he can make sparks by swinging the hatchet against the stone. Delighted, Brian believes that he will be able to make a fire.
The creation of the sparks is the most significant use of the hatchet so far, representing a new phase in Brian's independent identity. Taking on this exciting new task brings Brian joy and a sense of purpose.

Respond to the following in the form of a short essay. Your essay should consist of at least five paragraphs.
Think about the characteristics of Elizabeth and Darcy at the beginning of the novel and at the end. How do they change throughout the course of the novel? What do you think the author is saying through the development of these characters? In your response, describe the primary features of the characters at the beginning of the novel, the basic process by which they change, and their characteristics at the end of the novel. Then, explain what you think the author is trying to say through the changes in Elizabeth and Darcy.
Cite specific examples from the novel in your response. Use the notes you take and the questions you answer in the Student Guide to help you formulate your response.
You will hand in your completed response on the final day of this unit.
First answer: Darcy and Elizabeth are the main couple that appear on the book Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Both characters, among their qualities, exhibit some flaws. In fact, both characters are victims to the two flaws mentioned in the title: they are proud and prejudiced.
Darcy is particularly proud, bordering on arrogant. He believes himself to be a worthy gentleman, and thinks little of people he considers to be inferior to him. Elizabeth, on the other hand, is particularly prejudiced, and she is quick to judge others. However, as the two get to know each other, they become more aware of their flaws, and their love helps them become better people.
Second answer :At the beginning of Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Darcy is presented as being proud (and arrogant) while Elizabeth Bennett is decidedly prejudice (she is depicted as being quick to judge others). Furthermore, Darcy is also presented as being prejudiced against people of lower social standing than himself while Elizabeth demonstrates a remarkable measure of personal pride. Over the course of the novel, both Darcy and Elizabeth begin to fall in love with each other and, in turn, realize their own character faults. As she learns about Darcy and his life, she realizes that she is overly judging of others. Darcy, on the other hand, realizes - especially when Elizabeth turns down his initial marital proposal - that he is overly and unreasonably proud and arrogant. Through her depiction of the changes that Elizabeth and Darcy go through, Austen is demonstrating the manner in which love between a couple can shift their understandings of the world and, moreover, themselves.

Answer:
Violet, Peony, "Mamma", and snow sister.
Violet and Peony are the most major characters, as they are why our focus is given to mamma and why snow sister is made. Mamma is only elicited our attention when she is giving a reaction to the children's actions; and our focus is somewhat shifted to her throughout the story. Snow sister is a major player because of the effect she causes on the characters, especially mamma.

What good thing came out of the
porcupine incident? (hatchet)
Answer:
A porcupine has attacked him with hundreds of painful quills. After pulling all the quills out one by one, Brian cries in misery and loses his will to survive. When he can cry no more, it dawns on him that crying and self-pity accomplish nothing.
Explanation:
Answer: n Chapter 8, Brian wakes up in the middle of the night to a hissing sound and a terrible smell in his little shelter. He thinks it's a snake and throws his hatchet at it. The hatchet misses, hitting the wall and making a shower of sparks, and the creature gets closer. It's not a snake, it's a porcupine. Brian kicks at it, but the porcupine sticks him in the leg with its tail and runs off.
It's while he's pulling the porcupine quills out of his leg that Brian learns what becomes his most important lesson. He's understandably down in the dumps about being stranded and now stung by a porcupine, but then ''he learned the most important rule of survival, which was that feeling sorry for yourself didn't work.'' It won't get the quills out of his leg and won't make fire, so Brian decides to stop it entirely and get to work. Once he's all cried out and quill-free, Brian gets back to sleep.
Brian's Dream
Unlike a lot of Brian's other dreams over the course of Hatchet, the dream he has after getting stung isn't about his mother's affair, or even really about any event from his past. First, Brian sees his father in a living room, making scratching gestures and trying to say something to Brian. Brian is frustrated and can't understand what his father is saying when the dream transitions to a park scene with his friend Terry.
