Answer:

The answers to each of your questions, and the explanation for them, would be thus:

1. Tony is hoping to be selected for the all-county basketball team. He sets himself the goal of improving his free throw percentage from 70 to 74%, and in that way he hopes to try for the all-county basketball team. The best statement to describe Tony´s goal would be: A: Tony´s goal is effective because it is measurable, attainable, and has a clear deadline. Tony shows in the way that he plans his goal that he knows exactly what would be expected of him to enter the all-county basketball team and his goal of going up four points on his percentage is not really very high, which makes the goal realistic and attainable. He also is clear on the deadline he himself has to reach his goal, which shows that he has his ideas pretty clear and how to get to the. This is why the answer is the first option.

2. In this poem, Mehret Asgedom: Uses a simple rhyme scheme that gives a light quality to painful feelings. The poem "You" by Mehret Asgedom does have a really easy pattern and rhyme, and the concepts, and emotions, displayed in those lines are also pretty clear and straightforward. She does not overexaggerate the feelings, but she makes it pretty clear, in a very concise and simple manner, that she is hurt and that she wants to get rif of her feelings with all her heart.

drek231 [11]

"Yes, all those points are true about Shakespeare, but most of them are true of other authors as well" (B) is the comment that best illustrates the technique of drawing comparisons during a discussion.

In this discussion, people were apparently talking about Shakespeare and his work or his life. The speaker who delivered this comment brought up other authors into the conversation, inviting the other speakers to consider a comparison between Shakespeare and these authors. By doing so, the speaker is also giving his opinion on the comparison: he thinks Shakespeare and the other authors are alike in some aspects.

How do the results of solitary confinement differ from the overarching goals of the American prison system?

vladimir2022 [97]

I actually have two main sources, plus tad bits that I've learned just researching on the internet.

My first source is one of the Adam Ruins Everything episode on the American Jail systems.

Jails aren't run by the government anymore. Jails, or prisons are money making machines. The government gives them OUR tax money, to keep pretty much innocent people in jail. Why do I say innocent? Because the private jail systems have a minimum amount of people that have to be in their jail. Which means once you enter, they'll keep giving you years for "bad behavior", such as not wanting to mow the lawn for 10 cents an hour.

My second source is a documentary called the "Thirteenth".

Jail systems aren't meant to be places of "rehabilitation". Do you know why? Because back in December 1865, when slavery was no longer legal, former slave owners still need workers to keep their plantations going, but didn't have the money to pay... so here comes our wonderful constitution to the rescue!

The Thirteenth amendment states, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

AH HA! See, right there, "EXPECT AS PUNISHMENT FOR A CRIME.". That little loop hole made it so that anything a black, yes a black, person did was a crime. Even accusations that weren't true could land them in jail, and back as a slave.

So if you connect the dots right now, the goal of the overarching prison system is not, and was never about "rehabilitation".

Now, I still have some more to say on this subject. Even if you were to ignore how our wonderful prison system got started, there's solitary confinement to think about.

Solitary Confinement makes people insane. Once one person goes in, and then comes out a completely different person than they were, they're an example to the others.

If our government and our jail systems want to rehabilitate people, and help them enter the work force, and of course, stay out of crime, making people unable to care for themselves is not the way to go.

I hope this helps, and sorry for the long answer.

malfutka [58]

Utilitarian must mean useful and practical.
As you can see in the excerpt above, it says that writers such as Franklin, Paine, Jefferson, and their contemporaries, wrote fiction which served a particular purpose, as opposed to other writers who only wanted to entertain the masses. So, their purpose was not to entertain, therefore <em>fun oriented </em>is wrong here.
