Answer:
Explanation:
Kara lives with her father Jim in a fishing village in Cornwall. Her mother, a marine
biologist, disappeared a year ago on a dolphin-saving expedition to the Solomon Islands
but Kara believes that she will return. This faith is strengthened by a rare sighting of a
white dolphin calf, which she sees as a sign that her mum is still out there.
Kara and Jim have been taken in by Kara’s aunt and uncle but money is tight so Jim is
forced to put the family boat, named Moana, up for sale. Kara is very unhappy about this,
as Moana is one of her last links to her missing mother.
Kara breaks the nose of the school bully, Jake, whose father, Dougie, owns the fishing
trawlers that employ her uncle. Kara’s mother had successfully campaigned for a ten-year
dredging ban to conserve the local coral reef, which is about to expire. Dougie blames
Kara’s mother for the loss of his elder son, who drowned whilst fishing beyond the ban
limit. Jake vows that his family will destroy Kara and her father, and soon afterwards Jim’s
lobster pots are sabotaged.
Kara meets a new boy at school, Felix, who has Cerebral Palsy. They do not hit it off and
when Felix’s father offers to buy Jim’s boat, Kara is determined to put him off sailing so
that she can keep Moana. Much to her surprise, Felix takes to sailing easily, finding that
his mobility difficulties are lessened at sea. Kara is relieved, however, when his father
decides not to buy Moana, opting instead for a more manageable dinghy that Felix can
sail singlehanded.
Kara finds the white dolphin calf trapped in a fishing net, beached and in distress. With
help from Felix, his father, and the marine rescue team, the calf is cared for in a tidal pool,
but becomes separated from the mother dolphin, meaning that it might have to be put
down as it cannot be returned to the wild alone. In a daring night dive, Kara finds the
mother dolphin and leads it to the tidal pool.
Meanwhile Kara is unable to find the password for her mother’s dolphin-shaped memory
stick, which she believes holds a crucial message.
Felix mobilizes support for a local fishermen’s boycott of dredging, using the plight of the
white dolphin to attract media attention. At a public debate, Dougie has almost swayed
the crowd against the conservationists when Felix, who has found the password for the
memory stick, delivers the campaigners’ master stroke: Kara’s mother’s final
documentary about the long-term ill effects of sea dredging.
Soon afterwards, the dolphin calf is returned to the sea with its mother and Felix shows
Kara a photograph of her mother before her last dive. It is now almost certain that she
died in a diving accident that was covered up.
Public opinion has turned against Dougie, but he persists in dredging the bay
regardless and sacks Kara’s uncle for refusing to join him. Kara discovers that
Dougie has bought Moana for Jake to sail in the local regatta, and that the white
dolphin’s mother has been drowned in one of Dougie’s nets.
The regatta is cancelled due to a predicted storm, but Jake and his friend Ethan
insist on taking Moana out to sea. Felix and Kara follow in the dinghy and save
Jake and Ethan when they run into trouble. Grateful not to lose his surviving son,
Dougie promises to stop dredging and to research dolphin-friendly fishing.

Compare the words noises and voices, How are they alike? How ars they different? If someone get the correct answer i will get someone brainlest
Explanation:
Although the word “voice” refers most directly to the sounds made by the use of the human vocal tract, it also has metaphoric meaning.
Musicians refer to the “voice” of various musical instruments, the distinctive sounds made by each one, even when different instruments are playing the same note. This is in reference to the tonal quality imparted by the shape and construction of each instrument. One clarinet, for example, might have a richer or a harsher voice than another one. In this context, the word “sound” is pretty much interchangeable with “voice”, but “sound” is more generic, while “voice” conveys the idea a little more specifically.
“Voice” can also have a political/social meaning, referring to individual or collective ability to effect change. It is observable that people of lower social status must struggle to be heard in the political arena. When they succeed, it is often said that they have “found their voice”.

neighborhood play a role in Tariq's death?
Answer:
Tariq is a boy growing up near Laila in Kabul. He loses his leg to a landmine when he's very young and, through the support of his kind parents, never lets this disability slow him down. He and Laila are best friends as children and become lovers as teenagers. After being forced to flee to Pakistan with his parents, Tariq lands in prison for smuggling hashish. Despite the many trials he faces, he returns to Laila, proving himself loyal and loving in a way her husband, Rasheed, is not. Upon their reunion, he learns of his daughter Aziza, and after marrying Laila and moving her to Pakistan, Tariq takes care of Zalmai as if he was his own son. Like Laila, he shares her desire for justice and supports her decision to return to Kabul to help rebuild the city.

in what way does john's reaction to the chicken being killed foreshadow his future as a civil rights activist ?
Answer:
John's reaction to the chicken being killed foreshadows his quality of being a civil rights activist.
Explanation:
"Preaching to the Chickens: The Story of Young John Lewis" is a book written by Jabari Asim, portraying the life of young John Lewis.
After John Lewis began to take care of the chickens on his farm, he took it as an opportunity to hone his preaching. He began to consider the chickens on farm as his congregation. When his parents would take chickens to kill and cook them, he would refuse to eat chicken and would not talk to his parents. He asserts that this form of showing disapproval marked a beginning in his life as a non-violent protesters. So, in this way, John's reaction to the chicken being killed foreshadow his future as a civil rights activist. He, at an early age, began to defend those who were not able to speak for themselves.
