And when they thought of how they had laboured, what discouragements they had overcome, and the enormous difference that would be made in their lives when the sails were turning and the dynamos running—when they thought of all this, their tiredness forsook them and they gambolled round and round the windmill, uttering cries of triumph. Napoleon himself, attended by his dogs and his cockerel, came down to inspect the completed work; he personally congratulated the animals on their achievement, and announced that the mill would be named Napoleon Mill.

A rectangular flower garden in Samantha's backyard has 260 feet around its edge. The width of the garden is 60 feet. What is the length of the garden? The length of the garden is feet.

Answers

Answer:

length of the garden = 65 ft

Explanation:

The rectangular flower garden has 260 ft around it edges . The width of this rectangular garden is 60 ft . The length of the garden in ft is unknown.

The 260 ft around the edges of the garden is the perimeter of the garden. The perimeter of a rectangular shape is expressed as follows.

perimeter = 2L + 2W

perimeter = 2(L + W)

where

L = length

W = width

perimeter = 2(L + W)

perimeter = 260 ft

length = ?

width = 60 ft

260 = 2(L + 60)

260 = 2L + 130

260 - 130 = 2L

2L = 130

divide both sides by 2

L = 130/2

L = 65 ft

length of the garden  = 65 ft

The author of "a parent's role in the path to adulthood" says people are "taking longer to recognize themselves as adults." What trend does she note to support this claim

Answers

Answer:

The trends are;

1. Delay in the time of first marriage and first child birth of young people emerging into adulthood.

2. Lengthy years spent in schooling which leaves the emerging adults financially dependent on their parents for a long period of time.

3. Less autonomy caused by constant communication with parents on several platforms like the social media. This prolongs the number of years spent by parents in micromanaging their children's lives.

Explanation:

The author of 'A parent's role in the path of Adulthood', Barbara Hofer, notes that the transition into adulthood in many countries is quite blurry as some states do not have a clear logic that explains rules stipulating transition. A case in point is The United States of America where the age of people who wish to serve in the military comes before the age in which an adult is considered responsible enough to start consuming alcohol.

Barbara also notes that people are taking longer to recognize themselves as adults because of some changes happening in the society.

One of these is the prolonged period of time spent before adults consider getting married and birthing their first child. Some no longer consider marriage as a choice. Second is the long number of years spent in schooling at the college level. While on this, parents still remain responsible for the financial welfare of the adults. Third is the less autonomy enjoyed by adults as parents continue controlling their lives even when they are not on sight with the help of social media.

One of the themes in the poem "To a Skylark" by William Wordsworth is that we should chase our dreams, but we must not forget where we started. Which line in the poem reflects this theme?

Answers

Answer:

"True to the kindred points of Heaven and Home"!

Explanation:

"To a Skylark", is a poem written by William Woodsworth in recognition and praise of a bird known for its exceptional ability to connect two worlds. The Skylark has the ability to fly to the high heavens or sky carrying with it, its melodious singing. It also returns to its home, the nest, after its flight. This illustrates the ability to not forget ones root no matter the height attained in life. Compared to the Nightingale which only remains in its nest, the Skylark had a more noble attitude or approach to life.

So, William Woodsworth, through this poem is trying to teach us that even while we chase our dreams, or eventually attain them, we must not forget where we started.

1) The colonists who survived on their journey to to Jamestown made a lot of mistakes that killed off over half of their remaining which could have been prevented. First, they landed too late to plant crops, so they would have to wait until the following spring. Also, the marshes in their environment carried and bred mosquitos carrying deadly diseases. Many of the men had never learned the value and necessity of hard work, and did not take well to the prospect of labor.

2) John Smith took initiative during this hard time, and told anyone who did not work for their food could not take it from those who had. He also reformed helpless, dying men into able citizens who were able to provide their own food. He also managed to set up trade with nearby natives, who also taught them valuable skills.

3) Learning from these mistakes, I would have made sure there was time to plant crops, which we could have stored for winter as well, and I would have set up a form of government before arrival. Also, I probably would have sent a scout ship to look at the land and brief settlers before deciding we were ready.

4) A lot of times, I will decide I cannot perform a task, or would rather not do the work. However, the most important step to getting anything done is actually starting, because without that one crucial step, nothing will ever get accomplished.

In your report, say what you and your classmates learned during the day, and
suggest how the experience could be improved if it is repeated next year.

Answers

This is a personal assignment that only you can complete. However, we can still provide an example that might help guide your work:

"Last Monday, my classmates and I participated in what is called a "work experience day." This is a day in which students pretend to be workers in order to learn more about what this entails. We went to the shopping mall, and we were assigned different tasks at different shops. I was a cashier at a fast food restaurant, while my friends worked in clothes shop or in the parking lot.

The experience was very rewarding. I learned to be on time, and to follow instructions. I also learned that it is very important to listen to your customers in order to do a good job. More importantly, the experience taught me the value of money, and that allowed me to understand how hard my parents work to provide for me. The only thing I would suggest for next year is that, instead of the experience lasting a day, it should last a whole week."

Answer:

The Antifederalists were worried about ratifying the Constitution because they believed that if it were to occur, the government would hold too much power over everyone, and as a result may take the people's rightful freedoms away from them, and no one would be able to stop them from doing so. The Antifederalists wanted a bill of rights in the Constitution to prevent the government from taking away their freedoms, so the Federalists promised them they would add one, if they supported them in the ratification of the Constitution. In the end, the Antifederalists agreed with the Federalists, and with the newly ratified Constitution, there was an added bill of rights.

First of all, racism is the act of executing any type of violence against someone due to racial factors. It has been a problem of humanity since the beginning of record times.

what statement describes the structural characteristic of the poems?

Answers

Answer:

There’s a saying in brain science based on the work of Donald Hebb: neurons that fire together, wire together. The more they fire together, the more they wire together. In essence, you develop psychological resources by having sustained and repeated experiences of them that are turned into durable changes in your brain. You become more grateful, confident, or determined by repeatedly installing experiences of gratitude, confidence, or determination. Similarly, you center yourself increasingly in the Responsive, green zone – with an underlying sense of peace, contentment, and love – by having and internalizing many experiences of safety, satisfaction, and connection.

Explanation:

It is not a man’s duty, as a matter of course, to devote himself to the eradication of any, even the most enormous, wrong; he may still properly have other concerns to engage him; but it is his duty, at least, to wash his hands of it, and, if he gives it no thought longer, not to give it practically his support. If I devote myself to other pursuits and contemplations, I must first see, at least, that I do not pursue them sitting upon another man’s shoulders. I must get off him first, that he may pursue his contemplations too. See what gross inconsistency is tolerated. I have heard some of my townsmen say, “I should like to have them order me out to help put down an insurrection of the slaves, or to march to Mexico; — see if I would go”; and yet these very men have each, directly by their allegiance, and so indirectly, at least, by their money, furnished1 a substitute.
