Answer:
Quote 1: Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies I saw turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky.
Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever.
Never shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never.
Quote 2
“Where is God? Where is He?” someone behind me asked. ..
For more than half an hour [the child in the noose] stayed there, struggling between life and death, dying in slow agony under our eyes. And we had to look him full in the face. He was still alive when I passed in front of him. His tongue was still red, his eyes were not yet glazed.
Behind me, I heard the same man asking:
“Where is God now?”
And I heard a voice within me answer him:
“Where is He? Here He is—He is hanging here on this gallows. . . .”

HELP WILL GIVE BRAINIEST AND 20 POINTS!!! EXPLAIN THORUGHLY AND GIVE ABOUT 5-6 SENTENCES. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE SKELETAL SYSTEM? WHY DO WE NEED IT?
Answer:
Explanation:
The purpose of the skeletal system is to give structure to your body. It also keeps some of your organs safe from things hitting it. It also helps you to walk . It also helps you to keep your balance and to stand up. We need it to do our everyday things and activities.
Answer:
Offers support
Development,
Assurance
Mineral and Fat Storage,
Platelet Formation
Explanation:
A few elements of the skeletal framework are more promptly discernible than others. At the point when you move you can feel how your bones uphold you, encourage your development, and ensure the delicate organs of your body. Similarly as the steel light emissions building give a platform to help its weight, the bones and ligaments of your skeletal framework create the framework that underpins the remainder of your body. Without the skeletal framework, you would be a limp mass of organs, muscle, and skin. Bones encourage development by filling in as purposes of connection for your muscles. Bones additionally shield inward organs from injury by covering or encompassing them. For instance, your ribs ensure your lungs and heart, the bones of your vertebral segment (spine) secure your spinal line, and the bones of your noggin (skull) secure your mind.
On a metabolic level, bone tissue plays out a few basic capacities. For one, the bone tissue goes about as a supply for various minerals critical to the working of the body, particularly calcium, and phosphorus. These minerals, fused into bone tissue, can be delivered once more into the circulation system to keep up levels expected to help physiological cycles. Calcium particles, for instance, are basic for muscle withdrawals and are involved in the transmission of nerve driving forces.
Bones likewise fill in as a site for fat stockpiling and platelet creation. The special connective tissue that fills the inside of most bones is alluded to as bone marrow. There are two sorts of bone marrow: yellow bone marrow and red bone marrow. Yellow bone marrow contains fat tissue, and the fatty substances put away in the adipocytes of this tissue can be delivered to fill in as a wellspring of energy for different tissues of the body. Red bone marrow is the place where the creation of platelets (named hematopoiesis, hemato-= "blood", - poiesis = "to make") happens. Red platelets, white platelets, and platelets are completely delivered in the red bone marrow.

Bright star! would I were steadfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night,
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like Nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priest-like task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,[xxii]
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon to death.

plz... need help guys.
Answer:
Time is potent, we all heard since our childhood. Time, like a grain of sand, slips out of our hands and we only keep gazing at it hunting for the tactics to combat the glissading precious moments of ours. The moments and opportunities we hold most dear, with time, just like the sand in the hourglass, skid away. We only are, then, left with the regrets of not grasping the opportunities, despondently craving for the one single chance to swish back in time and fix the deeds for our deepest regrets.

Question 4
"When, early in the war, General Fremont attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not then think it an indispensable necessity. When, a little later, General Cameron, then Secretary of War, suggested the arming of the blacks, I objected, because I did not yet think it an indispensable necessity. When, still later, General Hunter attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not yet think the indispensable necessity had come. When, in March and May and July, 1862, I made earnest and successive appeals to the Border States to favor compensated emancipation, I believed the indispensable necessity for military emancipation and arming the blacks would come, unless averted by that measure. They declined the proposition; and I was, in my best judgment, driven to the alternative of either surrendering the Union, and with it the Constitution, or of laying strong hand upon the colored element. I chose the latter. In choosing it, I hoped for greater gain than loss; but of this I was not entirely confident..."
What does Lincoln mean by compensated emancipation?
a) Slaves are paid to leave slave-holding states.
b) Slave-holders are compensated for freeing slaves.
c) States are paid to increase slave-holding.
Question 5
"By general law, life and limb must be protected; →yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life,← but a life is never wisely given to save a limb. I felt that measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the Constitution through the preservation of the nation. Right or wrong, I assumed this ground, and now avow it. I could not feel that to the best of my ability I had even tried to preserve the Constitution, if, to save slavery, or any minor matter, I should permit the wreck of government, country, and Constitution altogether."
What lesson does President Lincoln express in the bold line?
a) Arms and legs are necessary in battle.
b) Many people have suffered unfairly.
c) It is essential to have a medical degree.
d) Sometimes sacrifices are necessary.
Answer:
Answer to 4 is B Answer to 5 is D
Explanation:
Compensate is to pay for something, and emancipate is free. The answer is therefore b, in which slave-holders are payed to release their slaves. For answer 5, Lincoln doesn't literally mean people need to lose limbs to save others lives, it is an expression and the only answer with a similar meaning is D

Read the excerpt from White Fang. "Kiche!" the man cried again, this time with sharpness and authority. And then the cub saw his mother, the she-wolf, the fearless one, crouching down till her belly touched the ground, whimpering, wagging her tail, making peace signs. The cub could not understand. He was appalled. The awe of man rushed over him again. His instinct had been true. His mother verified it. She, too, rendered submission to the man-animals. Which best states the perspective of White Fang in the excerpt? A: She is preparing to attack the man to show her authority
This question is missing the options. I've found them online. Since the excerpt is the same, I will omit it:
Which best states the perspective of White Fang's mother in the excerpt?
A. She is preparing to attack the man to show her authority.
B. She is puzzled by her cub's actions in front of the man.
C. She is confused about how she should act in front of the man.
D. She is hoping to please the man by showing her obedience.
Answer:
The option which best states the perspective of White Fang's mother in this excerpt is:
C. She is confused about how she should act in front of the man.
Explanation:
"White Fang" is a novel by author Jack London.
This is a tricky question, especially if we do not know what happens previously in the story. If we only read this particular excerpt and try to answer based on it, we will most likely choose letter D. However, that should not be the case. Take a look at how White Fang's mother acts in the previous paragraph:
She bounded in amongst them, her anxious and militant motherhood making her anything but a pretty sight. But to the cub the spectacle of her protective rage was pleasing. He uttered a glad little cry and bounded to meet her, while the man-animals went back hastily several steps. The she-wolf stood over against her cub, facing the men, with bristling hair, a snarl rumbling deep in her throat. Her face was distorted and malignant with menace, even the bridge of the nose wrinkling from tip to eyes so prodigious was her snarl.
White Fang's mother is confused and unsure about how to act. At first, she seems vicious, ready to attack the men to protect her cub. However, once a man yells "Kiche" with an imperative tone of voice, she changes her mind and acts submissively, which confuses White Fang. She is not necessarily trying to please the man. She is merely responding to his authority. She went from being enraged to being afraid, since the man's actions confused her. Therefore, the best option is letter C. She is confused about how she should act in front of the man.

Part A What can best be inferred about Rachel when she sees the Chihuahua running through her yard in "The Runaway"? She is filled with worry for the safety of the animal. She feels irritated by the owner's carelessness. She is relieved to see that the dog is safe. She is shocked to find a loose dog in the yard. Question 2 Part B Which evidence from the text best supports the answer to Part A? "As she stepped out onto the back porch and into the yard, the little dog came running toward her." "Rachel couldn’t understand it. How hard is it to keep a dog in a yard or the house?" "Her own dog, Gus, had escaped from them once as a puppy."
10 POINTS AND FAST
Answer: Hi there, so for part A it would be b, and for part B it would be C. I'm not 100% sure but good luck on your test!
Explanation:
The central idea of the story "The Runaway" which is written by Martina Cole explores the fear that is not known.
It states about the trust that everything will be okay for individuals who are going through new and frightening situations. In addition to those who have gone through comparable circumstances, a soothing gesture might be useful.
When Rachel watches at the Chihuahua roaming across her yard in "The Runaway," it's clear that the owner's carelessness upsets her. "Her own dog, Gus, had escaped from them once as a puppy," according to the text supporting the above choice.
Therefore, it can be concluded that option second and third are correct for part A and B.

How do outside forces (society, biology, privilege, school, etc) influence your belief on fate vs free will
please someone help urgently NOTE YOUR RESPONSE MUST BE AT LEAST ONE PARAGRAPH
Answer:
There are two main positions in the world regarding spirituality and the existence of higher entities: the one that establishes that faith in a divinity is a way to achieve objectives with the help of that higher being, which guides individuals on the path of the religions; and the one that maintains that free will is ultimately what regulates the results of men's actions, as only these can determine their destiny through their actions.
Today, society, educational and religious institutions, science and even the socioeconomic conditions of each person determine the way in which they think about the issue, and what position they take on it. Thus, for example, education in science, biology, physics and other branches of the natural sciences advocates the path of free will, seeking rational explanations for natural phenomena, with which the individual immersed in this environment is most likely not religious; while those people raised in more conservative environments, with a more humanistic approach or focused on the social sciences will most likely defend the path of faith as the one through which greater personal development is achieved.

Hamlet character is complex in the excerpt because his loyalty to his ally endures hardship
Answer:
His erratic behavior confuses his friend.
Explanation:
The following passage is the one you were given. It's a part of Act III of Hamlet, a tragedy written by William Shakespeare:
Rosencrantz: My lord, you once did love me.
Hamlet: So I do still, by these pickers and stealers.
Rosencrantz: Good my lord, what is your cause of distemper? You do surely bar the door upon your own liberty, if you deny your griefs to your friend.
Hamlet: Sir, I lack advancement.
Rosencrantz: How can that be when you have the voice of the king himself for your succession in Denmark?
Hamlet: Ay, sir, but 'While the grass grows,'—the proverb is something musty.
The options you were given are the following:
His loyalty to his ally endures hardship. His erratic behavior confuses his friend. His desire for revenge defines him. His quest for political power is unwavering.The given dialogue takes place between Hamlet and his childhood friend, Rosencrantz, who was summoned along with Guildenstern by King Claudius to distract Hamlet from his apparent madness and if possible to discover the cause of it. We can see that Hamlet's behavior has become erratic (Good my lord, what is your cause of distemper?) and that Rosencrantz is confused by it. He asks many questions, wanting to see what is on Hamlet's mind. This is why the second option is the correct one.
Answer:
B. his erratic behavior confuses his friend.

Answer: The Tricky Fox
A greedy fox stealthily entered a garden to eat the grapes. But its tail was cut down by a trap when it tried to escape from the trap.
It worried because all other foxes would mock at its lost tall. Hence it planned a trick.
When all foxes ridiculed it and said, "I have cut down the tail myself because it is a great hindrance. Now I am free and happy without my tail. So you too cut down your tails. It will be very convenient to all of you."
An old wise fox laughed at the tricky fox and said, "I will also join you after losing my tail when I try to steal the grapes. It looks very nice to be with a tail and I am proud of it."
Now all other faxes understood the trick of the fox and mocked at it. The ashamed fox ran away into the forest.
