Inside the hogan, Grandmother, Mother, and Father were preparing a Blessing Way ceremony in anticipation of Nantai’s arrival. His brother was coming home, back to the sacred land of his people, the Diné.

Although the Navajos had agreed to have their children attend school as part of a decades-old treaty with the United States government, many Navajo families, like Atsidi’s, were not willing to send their children away from their sacred homeland.

To see great Pompey pass the streets of Rome.
And when you saw his chariot but appear,
Have you not made an universal shout,
That Tiber trembled underneath her banks45
To hear the replication of your sounds
Made in her concave shores?
And do you now put on your best attire?
And do you now cull out a holiday?
And do you now strew flowers in his way,50
That comes in triumph over Pompey’s blood? Be gone!
Run to your houses, fall upon your knees,
Pray to the gods to intermit the plague
That needs must light on this ingratitude.

Do kiss the most exalted shores of all.

What should happen next in my story after this?
Seth’s POV:
I’m really not sure why I invited her here. Was it because of the bet or did I actually what to hang out with her? Was it just because my parents were arguing again and I needed to get out? What the heck.. of course it’s because of the bet and maybe because I wanted to get away from my parents. She is not fun and super rude. I’d never want to hang out with her on my own. This is definitely for the bet. All that laughter and ‘fun’ was totally fake. She’s still an annoying spoiled brat.. right? I really don’t know how to see her anymore because right now she looks really adorable feeding the ducks. She has a big smile on her face and she generally looks really happy. Happy suits her. What am I even saying? This is kinda bad, I’m actually having... fun. I even almost told her about my parents fighting.. she definitely can not know about that. She wouldn’t understand. While I’m deep in thought, I notice her dump the rest of the bag of bread crumbs in the pond and giggle. I like when she laughs. Wait, no I don’t. “Pretty boy! Dump the rest of your crumbs to the ducks!” I smile and do as she says. “My name is Seth. You can stop calling me pretty boy.” She looks at me with a grin and says, “You know, I think I like pretty boy better.” She laughs and I glare at her. That’s what I said to her earlier when Ava told me her name. “Well, I guess I am pretty.” I say in a confident tone. She looks at me and responds, “Not even close.” I glare at her some more. She’s definitely still mean and bratty. “Aww, did I make you mad?” She asks in a mocking tone. Of course she did but I’m not admitting that to her. I walk towards her and she stops laughing and asks, “What are you doing?” I grin at her secretly knowing that she’s going to hate me even more after I do this. I walk even closer and push her into the pond. She screams and she hits the water and is completely soaked. “Oh my gosh! What is wrong with you?! I hate you!” She screams at me but I’m too busy laughing to pay attention. The next thing I know, I’m in the pond too. She grabbed my leg and pulled me in. I should have seen that coming. Now she’s dying of laughter. “I can’t believe you just did that!” I say to her. She starts laughing again and through her laughter says, “Oh come on! You totally deserved that!” I smile and say, “I guess I did.” She giggles. That annoyingly adorable laugh she has is driving me crazy. “We should go, it’s getting late.” I say to her. “Yeah, probably.” She replies. We crawl out of the pond and we are drenched. “We are really wet, won’t your parents get mad if you ruin the car?” How does she know my parents still come to my place? Does she know about my family issues? Did she hear them fighting through the phone call? “Why are you talking about my parents? That’s none of your business and if you must know, the car is mine.” I snap at her. I hear her mumble, “And you call me a brat.” “Whatever, get in the car sunflower.” The wetness won’t bother my car, after all, it’s just water. It will dry. The whole way back to sunflower’s place is pretty quiet. None of us say a word. Finally, I pull up to her house and park the car. She gets out and I say, “I guess I’ll see you tomorrow sunflower.” “Yeah, see ya pretty boy.” She closes the car door and I watch her as she walks into her apartment.

c. George believes the dream of the farm is destroyed because he realizes he will always be a powerless person in society.
d. George does not know where Lennie went and is leaving to find him before the mob does.
e. The mob believes that Lennie took Carson's gun with him when he left.
a. George tells Candy that they will still be able to get the farm together. - False
b. George believes that the mob won't kill Lennie; they will just put him in jail. - False
c. George believes the dream of the farm is destroyed because he realizes he will always be a powerless person in society. - True
d. George does not know where Lennie went and is leaving to find him before the mob does. - False
e. The mob believes that Lennie took Carson's gun with him when he left. - True
In John Steinbeck's novella "Of Mice and Men," the correct statements are as follows:
c. George believes the dream of the farm is destroyed because he realizes he will always be a powerless person in society. After the tragic events surrounding Lennie, George understands that their shared dream of owning a farm and achieving independence is shattered.
e. The mob believes that Lennie took Carson's gun with him when he left. The mob, seeking revenge for the death of Curley's wife, assumes that Lennie has taken the gun with him, which adds urgency to their pursuit.
The other statements are false. George does not tell Candy that they can still achieve the farm together; instead, he confides in him about the impossibility of their dream. Additionally, George knows exactly where Lennie went and makes a difficult decision related to Lennie's fate, not merely to find him before the mob. Lastly, George does not believe that the mob will put Lennie in jail; he knows they intend to kill him.

Why does Senator Obama mention and express gratitude for his diverse, cultural heritage? Use textual evidence to support your response.
Senator Obama mentioned and expressed gratitude for his diverse, cultural heritage in order to emphasize his own unique perspective, to reach out to people of all races and backgrounds, and to celebrate America's diversity as a strength.
In his speech "A More Perfect Union," Senator Barack Obama discussed the problem of race in America. He mentioned and expressed gratitude for his diverse, cultural heritage for a number of reasons. The following are some of the reasons he did so:
First and foremost, he talked about his diverse cultural heritage to identify himself as a product of many different influences.
He acknowledges that he is black and that he is white. He talked about his parents' roots, his mother's upbringing in Kansas, his father's in Kenya, and his own birth and upbringing in Hawaii and Indonesia.
By doing this, he was able to tell the audience that he has a broad perspective on life because of the different cultures he has experienced.
He also claimed that his varied background helped him form his own identity, one that wasn't limited to one culture or identity.
He discussed his diverse cultural heritage as a way of reaching out to people of all races and backgrounds. Obama believed that America is a "patchwork quilt" of people from various cultural backgrounds, and he wanted to include everyone in his campaign for change.
He emphasized that each person's culture should be recognized and valued, rather than ignored or suppressed. In fact, he believes that America's diversity is one of its greatest strengths.
He wants everyone to work together as Americans, regardless of their cultural heritage, to make America a better place.

Why are the Putnams so eager to assume that the children are ill because they are bewitched?
Answer:
The number of children who have diedThe need to blame something for their deathsExplanation:
In The Crucible, the Putnams have lost seven children with an eight, Ruth, very sick. They think this to be very unusual because it is just too many children to have died from the same illness.
Mr. Putnam rules genetics out as a factor by referring to the large family he came from where he had ten brothers which meant to him that his genes were strong enough for his children to stay alive.
Another reason was the need to blame the deaths of the kids on something especially for Mrs. Putnam who kept seeing her children die. She needed to blame something to feel better and witchcraft was an easy factor.
