Benjamin is giving a presentation about World War I. He wants to use a movie clip of a war scene and interview his neighbor whose great uncle fought in World War I. Write a paragraph explaining why Benjamin should rethink using these sources, and what he should use to replace them.(4 points)
Answer:
Answer below
Explanation:
Benjamin should rethink his sources because they are secondary sources. His neighbors' great uncle was in WWI, not his neighbor and information can change from source to source. Instead, Benjamin should ask someone who has been in WWI, notebooks from soilders, published books, or photographs. These are primary sources. These will help give Benjamin an accurate answer.
Benjamin should rethink the use of these sources because they do not offer a first-hand account of the war, that is, they are not primary sources.
What are primary sources?Reports from people who witnessed a particular event.Documents showing the event that was happening.Primary sources tell stories lived by their interlocutors and for this reason, they are more reliable and relevant sources. For Benjamin to access a primary source, he would have to interview someone who participated in the first world war.
However, Benjamin is interviewing someone who knows a person who participated in the war. This is an example of a secondary source, which shows an adapted account that may have been modified, so it is less reliable.

The Beggar and the King
by Winthrop Parkhurst
[A chamber in the palace overlooks a courtyard. The season is midsummer. The windows of the palace are open, and from a distance there comes the sound of a man's voice crying for bread.]
[THE KING sits in a golden chair. A golden crown is on his head, and he holds in his hand a sceptre which is also of gold. A SERVANT stands by his side, fanning him with an enormous fan of peacock feathers.]
THE BEGGAR: (outside) Bread. Bread. Bread. Give me some bread.
THE KING: (languidly) Who is that crying in the street for bread?
THE SERVANT: (fanning) O king, it is a beggar.
THE KING: Why does he cry for bread?
THE SERVANT: O king, he cries for bread in order that he may fill his belly.
THE KING: I do not like the sound of his voice. It annoys me very much. Send him away.
THE SERVANT: (bowing) O king, he has been sent away.
THE KING: If that is so, then why do I hear his voice?
THE SERVANT: O king, he has been sent away many times, yet each time that he is sent away he returns again, crying louder than he did before.
THE KING: He is very unwise to annoy me on such a warm day. He must be punished for his impudence. Use the lash on him.
THE SERVANT: O king, it has been done.
THE KING: Then bring out the spears.
THE SERVANT: O king, the guards have already bloodied their swords many times driving him away from the palace gates. But it is of no avail.
THE KING: Then bind him and gag him if necessary. If need be cut out his tongue. I do not like the sound of the fellow's voice. It annoys me very much.
THE SERVANT: O king, thy orders were obeyed even yesterday.
THE KING: (frowning) No. That cannot be. A beggar cannot cry for bread who has no tongue.
THE SERVANT: Behold he can—if he has grown another.
THE KING: What! Why, men are not given more than one tongue in a lifetime. To have more than one tongue is treason.
THE SERVANT: If it is treason to have more than one tongue, O king, then is this beggar surely guilty of treason?
THE KING: (pompously) The punishment for treason is death. See to it that the fellow is slain. And do not fan me so languidly. I am very warm.
THE SERVANT: (fanning more rapidly) Behold, O great and illustrious king, all thy commands were obeyed even yesterday.
THE KING: How! Do not jest with thy king.
THE SERVANT: If I jest, then there is truth in a jest. Even yesterday, O king, as I have told thee, the beggar which thou now hearest crying aloud in the street was slain by thy soldiers with a sword.
THE KING: Do ghosts eat bread? Forsooth, men who have been slain with a sword do not go about in the streets crying for a piece of bread.
THE SERVANT: Forsooth, they do if they are fashioned as this beggar.
THE KING: Why, he is but a man. Surely he cannot have more than one life in a lifetime.
THE SERVANT: Listen to a tale, O king, which happened yesterday.
THE KING: I am listening.
THE SERVANT: Thy soldiers smote this beggar for crying aloud in the streets for bread, but his wounds are already healed. They cut out his tongue, but he immediately grew another. They slew him, yet he is now alive.
THE KING: Ah! That is a tale which I cannot understand at all.

BRAINLIEST FOR WHOEVER GETS IT !!! Looking over the excerpts shown below, which of the following best compares the themes of the passages?
[Mama] would quickly subordinate her own desires to those of the family or the community, because she knew cooperation was the only way to survive. At the same time she placed a high premium on personal privacy, respected it in others and insisted upon it for herself. ...Almost everyone at Manzanar had inherited this pair of traits from the generations before them who had learned to live in a small, crowded country like Japan."
Greedy for stories, I devoured books in the children's section of the library. In those days, it was easy to conclude that any tale worth publishing originated in the so-called West, was written in English, and featured North American or European characters.
Slowly, insidiously, I began to judge my heritage through colonial eyes. I asked my mother not to wear a sari, her traditional dress, when she visited me at school.
I avoided the sun so that the chocolate hue of my skin couldn't darken. The nuances and cadences of my father’s Bangla began to grate on my ears. "Not THAT story again, Dad," I'd say. "I'm reading right now."
1. Both passages deal with strong individuals that hold onto what makes them strong and powerful.
2. Both passages deal with ignoring one's heritage and beiefs in order to adopt an American way of life.
3. Both passages deal with a younger generation shunning the older generation.
4. Both passages deal with the treatment of groups during war time and what a country will do to win the war.
Both passages deal with a younger generation shunning the older generation. Thus, option 3 is the correct option.
What Is a Literary Theme?The fundamental concept or underlying meaning that a writer explores in a book, short tale, or other literary work is known as a literary theme. Characters, environment, dialogue, storyline, or a mix of these aspects can all be used to express a story's theme. A theme is a key, overarching concept. As the characters work toward their objectives, the broader problem becomes apparent.
It has more to do with the deeper issues and conflicts about identity, philosophy, or morality that emerge during their endeavours and less to do with whether they will succeed in finishing the race, getting the date, or discovering the treasure. On the other hand, morality is a message that offers advice on how to live. These can be helpful for kids who require direction.

. Which selection from the section "Slowing the Spread" BEST explains what epidemiologists mean by "flattening the curve"? *
2 points
A. All these decisions by public officials and businesses are aimed at one goal: slowing down the spread of the virus to avoid overburdening a health care system that doesn't have the infrastructure to handle a sudden surge of tens of thousands of cases at once.
B. Epidemiologists study diseases and how they spread. They can somewhat predict how many cases of a disease are going to occur based on how the disease is behaving.
C. The only reason total U.S. cases aren't already skyrocketing is that coronavirus testing has been such a mess that too few people — just 77 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the whole week of March 8 — are being tested. You can't count cases you haven't identified yet.
