In town, they would not sell to japs. Why did Mirikitani choose to use the word “japs” in the third line of this excerpt from “A

ttack the Water”? That is how she and her family referred to themselves. She needed fewer syllables to fit the rhythm of the poem. That was the derogatory term that others called her family. She wanted the poem to be an accurate portrayal of her family.

The right answer would be the third one: That was the derogatory term that others called her family.

The poem speaks about the reality of prisoners of war, and in this specific context, the japanese people in Vietnam, after the strategic destruction of dams around a local river.

The reason why they would not sell anything to them at the town, was because of the conflict that arose, which led them to be seen as enemies.

Which of these statements about the Prohibition Era are true? Check all of the boxes that apply.
lord [1]
The goal of Prohibition was to get rid of the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcohol in the US. Even though this was a federal law, thousands of American citizens all over the country broke this law. One way they broke this law was by going to speakeasies. Speakeasies were secret bars that people could go to in order to obtain alcohol. Even though this went against the 18th amendment (the law that made alcohol illegal), thousands of Americans opened these speakeasies due to the fact that Americans were willing to pay a large amount of money for alcohol.

Along with the speakeasies, people found other ways to obtain alcohol. Bootleggers, people who illegally transported alcohol, helped to begin organized crime rings all over the country. This increase in crime rates also lead to increased violence (like a higher homicide rate), as gangs competed for business. Overall, Prohibition failed to reduce crime and reduce alcohol consumption rates.

what effect would you expect the 1964 Supreme court case, Wesberry v. sanders, to have on the likelihood of a group of small rur
Rudiy27
The likelihood would be lower because the supreme court decision effectively reduced the impact that smaller rural communities had on representation in the house of representatives in the national level. This is because the districts had to be drawn according to the population in order to make all districts equal in population size which resulted in smaller rural areas getting swept away by larger communities since they would become parts of their districts.
