Read this excerpt from On Becoming an Inventor" by
Dean Kamen
Kamen's style is
From this well-stocked basement came a whole new set
of really neat projects. My younger brother, Mitch, and
his friends, as well as some of my own friends, would
come after school to help. At sixteen I was now a young
entrepreneur, paying them for their help. I was surprised
by the number of orders I was getting for more and more
equipment. Soon I didn't have time to build and design
new things. Giving over this work to other kids gave me
more time to do what I wanted to do. This went on after
school and all summer long.

Excerpt from Video Games-Play On
Zachary Felton
———————————————-
Video games pull players into worlds they could never imagine. In these worlds, players
become top athletes, animated characters, alien commanders, and so on. So, if video games
use so much imagination, why do people look down on them? News reports today often talk
about the bad effects of video games. For example, some blame video games for making
children more violent. Others blame them for causing children to sit in front of the
television instead of get exercise. While such claims may hold some truth, not all video
games are bad. In fact, some actually have great benefits
What is the MOST LIKELY purpose of the first paragraph of the Felton passage?
es -)
A)
to downplay common arguments against video games
B)
to describe some of the most popular video games
to explain the link between violence and video games
D)
to introduce the main benefits of playing video games

Answers

Answer:

the answer is A)

Explanation:

because if you read it again it gives some key points of what option A stats so it is obviously A

Players of video games are drawn into worlds they could never have imagined. In these universes, gamers can transform into professional sportsmen, animated characters, extraterrestrial commanders, etc.

What is the disdvantage of  Video Games ?

So why do people despise video games if they utilize so much imagination? Today's news media frequently discuss the negative impacts of video gaming. For instance, some claim that children are becoming more violent due to computer games.

Others accuse them of encouraging kids to watch television rather than exercise. While some of these assertions may be true, not all video games are negative. Some are actually very advantageous.

Children who play video games for long periods of time run the risk of becoming violent, reclusive, and uninterested in their surroundings. This will result in a personality that is underdeveloped becauseThe person dislikes socializing and conversing with others.

Although playing video games is also a pleasure, spending too much time on them prevents one from expanding their knowledge and engaging in outdoor activities.

An addict will constantly be thinking about gaming, forgoing other activities that are occasionally more important than gaming, such as studying, participating in sports, socializing, etc.

Hence option A is correct.

PLEASE What is a similarity between The Medicine Bag and Apache Girl's Rite of Passage?

Answers

Answer:

Like many other pieces of writing and videos, The Medicine Bag written by Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve and National Geographic's video The Apache Girl Rite of Passage have some similarities.

Both of them show us a rite of passage - a ceremony that marks a major milestone or change in a person's life. The main characters are going through an important time in their life. Martin from The Medicine Bag is ready to receive the medicine bag, an important part of his Sioux heritage. Dachina from The Apache Girl Rite of Passage is going through a ceremony of becoming a woman.

These events are a part of these people's traditions. The person who receives the medicine bag is supposed to give it to the next son in line, and every girl in Dachina’s Apache tribe has to go through this rite of passage to become a woman.

Besides, both the Sioux and the Apache are groups of Native American tribes, making the Native American traditions another similarity between these stories.

Why did President Roosevelt believe it was necessary for the U.S. to be involved in
WWII?

Answers

Answer:Isolationists believed that World War II was ultimately a dispute between foreign nations and that the United States had no good reason to get involved. The best policy, they claimed, was for the United States to build up its own defenses and avoid antagonizing either side.

Explanation:

Roosevelt framed the war as a struggle for four universal human freedoms, including the right to free speech, the right to practice one's religion, the ability to live without hunger, and the ability to live without fear, in his State of the Union Address from January 1941, also known as the "Four Freedoms Speech."

Why was Franklin D Roosevelt important in World War 2?

He helped lay the foundation for the post-war peace organization that would become the United Nations by leading the successful wartime alliance between Britain, the Soviet Union, and the United States. Roosevelt passed away in office in April 1945, making history's only four-time winner of the presidency an American.

Isolationists believed that World War II was ultimately a conflict between foreign countries and that the United States had no legitimate reason to get involved. They argued that strengthening domestic defenses and avoiding hostilities with either side was the best course of action for the United States.

Read this excerpt from "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson.
People began to look around to see the Hutchinsons. Bill Hutchinson was standing quiet, staring down at the paper in his hand. Suddenly, Tessie Hutchinson shouted to Mr. Summers, “You didn’t give him time enough to take any paper he wanted. I saw you. It wasn’t fair!”
“Be a good sport, Tessie,” Mrs. Delacroix called, and Mrs. Graves said, “All of us took the same chance.”
“Shut up, Tessie,” Bill Hutchinson said.
“Well, everyone,” Mr. Summers said, “that was done pretty fast, and now we’ve got to be hurrying a little more to get done in time.” He consulted his next list. “Bill,” he said, “you draw for the Hutchinson family. You got any other households in the Hutchinsons?”
“There are Don and Eva,” Mrs. Hutchinson yelled. “Make them take their chance!”
“Daughters draw with their husbands’ families, Tessie,” Mr. Summers said gently. “You know that as well as anyone else.”
“It wasn’t fair,” Tessie said.
In Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery," how does the contrast between the characters’ view of the lottery and that of readers' impact the story?



The way the children of the town innocently approve of the lottery makes the readers' view of the lottery as foolish seem misguided and gives the story its conflict.

The way the women of the village celebrate and take pride in the lottery goes against the readers' view of it as a shameful event and gives the text its wacky tone.

The Hutchinsons' positive view of the lottery throughout the story differs from the readers' view of the lottery as suspicious from the very start to create humor as the story progresses.
