How, does the proverbial Russian definition of a hero, "He who hangs on for one minute more," apply to flawed heroes like Indiana Jones, Iron Man, and Batman? Include examples from the reading to support your conclusion. Your response must cite the articles you read in the lesson.
Imperfect heroes are those who present a history where good and evil are not simple, well-defined and well-defined concepts, but which mix, as in the real way. These heroes have problems defining what is right and what is wrong, in many moments, they have several traumas and problems, but they are able to endure their limitations and imperfections to promote what they believe is right. In other words, these characters believe that if they succeeded, in the midst of the imperfections they have to get where they are, it means that they can take it a little longer. In this sense, we can associate the Russian proverbial about the hero being "the one who can take another minute," with these characters, because they do not give up on good beings, even when it is difficult.
Answer: I couldn't find anything on this either so I hope this helps!
Flawed hero's are a more interesting take on heroic archetypes. Flawed hero's deal with the same internal challenges that we do, often in the works of bettering themselves and overcoming their human issues. This makes them relatable and more inspiring in a sense, because it's instead of seeing something that seems completely out of this world and impossible, you're seeing someone you look up to never give up on being good, even when its hard. With that, we can connect the proverbial Russian definition of. a hero, "He who hangs on for one minute more" to flawed hero's because flawed hero's represent relatability, humility, humanism, but also the strength of never giving up.

Explanation:
The snacks belong to my brother’s friends. The snacks are theirs or his
Answer:
The snacks are theirs.
Explanation:
You said "my brother's". Let's think of this like groups. That means you and your brother are included into one group and his friends are in the other. If you and your brother are in a group, it wouldn't make sense to say they're his. It'd be theirs because his friends are in the other group and it's their candy.
I hope this helps you!
How does the description of Madame Carambeau’s house in paragraphs 1-2 contribute to the meaning of the passage?
This question is about "A Matter of Prejudice".
Answer:
The description of the house shows how old and outdated it was, just like its owner Madame Carambeau.
Explanation:
Madame Carambeau is a woman full of prejudices, old-fashioned, snobbish and intolerant. She lives within old concepts that no longer fit within today's society and this causes her to stop enjoying many good and happy things that life can offer, such as keeping a family together, having friends and keeping in touch with her own son. .
The old-fashioned way that Madame Carambeau lives can be seen even in her home, which has an outdated and somewhat old model by the standards where the story takes place.
Read the first stanza of "The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls."
The tide rises, the tide falls,
The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;
Along the sea-sands damp and brown
The traveller hastens toward the town,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
Why does the poet most likely use the words “damp and brown” to describe the sands?
to create a subdued mood within the poem
to make the poem more haunting or unsettling
to give a sense of the time of year
to evoke sadness within the reader

Read the passage.
excerpt from The Story of My Life
by Helen Keller
At the age of 18 months, Helen Keller was rendered deaf and blind. Unable to read, write, or speak, it was thought that Helen would never be able to communicate. "The Story of My Life" describes Helen's education with Anne Sullivan and the unorthodox teaching methods that enabled her to learn how to communicate and thrive.
We read and studied out of doors, preferring the sunlit woods to the house. All my early lessons have in them the breath of the woods—the fine, resinous odour of pine needles, blended with the perfume of wild grapes. Seated in the gracious shade of a wild tulip tree, I learned to think that everything has a lesson and a suggestion. “The loveliness of things taught me all their use.” Indeed, everything that could hum, or buzz, or sing, or bloom had a part in my education—noisy-throated frogs, katydids and crickets held in my hand until forgetting their embarrassment, they trilled their reedy note, little downy chickens and wildflowers, the dogwood blossoms, meadow-violets and budding fruit trees. I felt the bursting cotton-bolls and fingered their soft fiber and fuzzy seeds; I felt the low soughing of the wind through the cornstalks, the silky rustling of the long leaves, and the indignant snort of my pony, as we caught him in the pasture and put the bit in his mouth—ah me! how well I remember the spicy, clovery smell of his breath!
Sometimes I rose at dawn and stole into the garden while the heavy dew lay on the grass and flowers. Few know what joy it is to feel the roses pressing softly into the hand, or the beautiful motion of the lilies as they sway in the morning breeze. Sometimes I caught an insect in the flower I was plucking, and I felt the faint noise of a pair of wings rubbed together in a sudden terror, as the little creature became aware of a pressure from without.
Another favourite haunt of mine was the orchard, where the fruit ripened early in July. The large, downy peaches would reach themselves into my hand, and as the joyous breezes flew about the trees the apples tumbled at my feet. Oh, the delight with which I gathered up the fruit in my pinafore, pressed my face against the smooth cheeks of the apples, still warm from the sun, and skipped back to the house!
Our favourite walk was to Keller's Landing, an old tumbledown lumber-wharf on the Tennessee River, used during the Civil War to land soldiers. There we spent many happy hours and played at learning geography. I built dams of pebbles, made islands and lakes, and dug river-beds, all for fun, and never dreamed that I was learning a lesson. I listened with increasing wonder to Miss Sullivan's descriptions of the great round world with its burning mountains, buried cities, moving rivers of ice, and many other things as strange. She made raised maps in clay, so that I could feel the mountain ridges and valleys, and follow with my fingers the devious course of rivers. I liked this, too; but the division of the earth into zones and poles confused and teased my mind. The illustrative strings and the orange stick representing the poles seemed so real that even to this day the mere mention of temperate zone suggests a series of twine circles; and I believe that if any one should set about it he could convince me that white bears actually climb the North Pole.

They’ve been reformed, so they’re not beating people for the speaking of their tribal languages anymore, but they’ve kind of survived as a vestigial remnant of this experience."

Tarveling in the desert can be a challenge. The hot sun scorches. The sun beats down on you. So, how can you travel and stay safe? People use cars to get across the desert. People use camels to get across the desert. Be sure to bring plenty of water. It pays to be prepared. Edit this to help me to get this right please
Answer and Explanation:
Traveling in the desert can be challenging. The hot sun burns. The sun hits you. So, to travel safely in the desert it is worth preparing, take plenty of water and rent camels and cars whenever necessary.
Water is essential for this trip because it prevents dehydration which can be very dangerous and lead to death. For this reason, it is necessary to take plenty of water and drink it frequently, with water being the most important element to safely pass the desert.
The use of cars is also beneficial, as it provides coverage against the sun and promotes rapid travel, however, when car rental is not available it is necessary to rent camels, which will also be beneficial, as it prevents the tourist from making physical effort walking and decreases the body's water loss.

"She was American, just as much as she was Korean, and even though her mother wouldn't have wanted her to do it, starting the food truck was Ji-Suk's way of honoring her mother and showing that she valued what her mother had taught her."
"...she'd made Ji-Suk take Korean lessons every Saturday morning followed by violin lessons in the afternoon—and cooked kimchi and other Korean delicacies with her at least once a week..."

Find the Theme in this short story! Then tell me how you got the theme! PLZ 100 Pts!!!!
Sarah has always been ultra competitive. She always wants to be number one, no matter what! Her parents even tell stories of how she cheated at Candy Land at the young age of 5 just to make sure she won. While it might have been cute for a 5 year to switch out cards in order to make it to the candy castle first, her need to win got old really fast. As she grew into her teenage years, Sarah would continue to rig games and activities to make sure she was number one. As you can imagine, her friends and family became very annoyed with her antics and refused to compete against her anymore. When it came time for backyard games like kickball, Sarah was always the last one to get picked. It even got to the point her friends would no longer call her to let her know they were getting together. So while Sarah may have been declared a victor at many games, she lost numerous friends in the process.
Answer:
this story theme "the way you grow the way you can ask"
Answer:
Don't lie or cheat, because if you do, it will always come back your way around.
Explanation:
After Sarah cheated in lots of games with her friends and family, no one wanted to play with her anymore, or hangout.
She had said yes! Asami, the most popular girl in school, had said yes!
Edgar fell back on his bed, his head spinning. He never imagined he
would even go to prom, much less with the girl of his dreams.
Incredible!
When he heard the doorbell ring, he got up, his head still swimming
with images of Asami's beautiful face. He opened the door and there
stood Ellie Fitz, the girl who lived next door who had had a secret crush
on him since 7th grade. "Hey, Edgar," she said. "Do you want to go to
the prom with me?"
How does the use of point of view create suspense in the passage?
It is so you feel excitement for other characters. Almost as you are Edgar's best friends excited for him, but yet as you keep reading suspense for him later on.
Answer:
The use of point of view creates suspense in the passage by giving us or showing us the emotions that everything the main character is going through. It also helps lead up but first stating he completed his dream but then another girl arrived most likely gonna effect his decision,emotions, and thoughts on the situation. ( It makes the reader sort of go “oh.” In a way if that makes sense.
Explanation: I’ve had many question like this before on tests and etc but this is my opinion so if it doesn’t suit you it is fine.

People who have Alzheimer's disease experience an increasing loss of brain function and cognition over time. Alzheimer's is characterized by a buildup of abnormal protein fragments that damage brain cells. Recently scientists have discovered an enzyme, BACE2, that decreases these abnormal protein fragments in the brain of a person with Alzheimer's disease. Which statement explains how BACE2 most likely works?
BACE2 speeds up the reaction that breaks down the abnormal protein fragments.
BACE2 is a reactant that combines with the abnormal protein fragments.
BACE2 breaks down into smaller pieces that react with the abnormal protein fragments, forming more complex molecules.
BACE2 molecules link several abnormal protein fragments together, forming a complete protein.
Answer:
BACE2 speeds up the reaction that breaks down the abnormal protein fragments.
Explanation:
BACE2 accelerates the reaction that breaks the fragments of abnormal proteins that cause Alzheimer's disease. With that, this enzyme is able to quickly cut these proteins, called beta-amyloid, into pieces so tiny that it takes the entire molecule to complete destruction. This is very innovative for the treatment of alzheimer's, although much research needs to be done to improve this process and not cause side effects.

Which detail from the beginning of part 1 of "For the Win" most supports the prediction that Dean will not properly care for his dogs during the race? From track and field to archery, Dean was always the winner, but that wasn't what bothered Jake. "Now Dean shows up to ruin everything," he thought as he checked his gear one last time. "Dean knows nothing about dogs. He simply spent a whole bunch of money to buy a top team and a fancy sled." The blog posts of the last week had only made matters worse. Jake and Dean were the two youngest mushers in this year's race . . .
Answer:
"Dean knows nothing about dogs. He simply spent a whole bunch of money to buy a top team and a fancy sled."
Explanation:
According to the excerpt, Jake grumbles about Dean being the winner in pretty much anything he competes in.
However, he was not bothered about that now, but the fact that Dean does not know anything about dogs, he only spends a lot of money getting dogs and a fancy sled.
Therefore, the detail from the excerpt that supports the prediction that Dean will not properly care for his dogs during the race is the detail where Jake alleges that Dean knows nothing about dogs and insinuates that he would do anything to win because he's spent a lot of money on the dogs.
