at least two paragraphs, compare the process for electing the state governor with electing the U.S. president. Explain which process you think is more democratic with at least three reasons to justify your position.
Answer:
The debate over the continued use of the Electoral College resurfaced during the 2016 presidential election, when Donald Trump lost the general election to Hillary Clinton by over 2.8 million votes and won the Electoral College by 74 votes. The official general election results indicate that Trump received 304 Electoral College votes and 46.09% of the popular vote (62,984,825 votes), and Hillary Clinton received 227 Electoral College votes and 48.18% of the popular vote (65,853,516 votes). [1]
Prior to the 2016 election, there were four times in US history when a candidate won the presidency despite losing the popular vote: 1824 (John Quincy Adams over Andrew Jackson), 1876 (Rutherford B. Hayes over Samuel Tilden), 1888 (Benjamin Harrison over Grover Cleveland), and 2000 (George W. Bush over Al Gore). [2]
The Electoral College was established in 1788 by Article II of the US Constitution, which also established the executive branch of the US government, and was revised by the Twelfth Amendment (ratified June 15, 1804), the Fourteenth Amendment (ratified July 1868), and the Twenty-Third Amendment (ratified Mar. 29, 1961). Because the procedure for electing the president is part of the Constitution, a Constitutional Amendment (which requires two-thirds approval in both houses of Congress plus approval by 38 states) would be required to abolish the Electoral College. [3] [4] [5] [6]
The Founding Fathers created the Electoral College as a compromise between electing the president via a vote in Congress only or via a popular vote only. The Electoral College comprises 538 electors; each state is allowed one elector for each Representative and Senator (DC is allowed 3 electors as established by the Twenty-Third Amendment). [3] [4] [5] [6]
In each state, a group of electors is chosen by each political party. On election day, voters choosing a presidential candidate are actually casting a vote for an elector. Most states use the “winner-take-all” method, in which all electoral votes are awarded to the winner of the popular vote in that state. In Nebraska and Maine, the candidate that wins the state’s overall popular vote receives two electors, and one elector from each congressional district is apportioned to the popular vote winner in that district. For a candidate to win the presidency, he or she must win at least 270 Electoral College votes. [3] [4] [5] [6]
At least 700 amendments have been proposed to modify or abolish the Electoral College. [25]
On Monday Dec. 19, 2016, the electors in each state met to vote for President and Vice President of the United States. Of the 538 Electoral College votes available, Donald J. Trump received 304 votes, Hillary Clinton received 227 votes, and seven votes went to others: three for Colin Powell, one for Faith Spotted Eagle, one for John Kasich, one for Ron Paul, and one for Bernie Sanders). On Dec. 22, 2016, the results were certified in all 50 states. On Jan. 6, 2017, a joint session of the US Congress met to certify the election results and Vice President Joe Biden, presiding as President of the Senate, read the certified vote tally. [21] [22]
For the 2020 election, electors are scheduled to meet and vote on Dec. 14, and deliver the results on Dec. 23. [23] A Sep. 2020 Gallup poll found 61% of Americans were in favor of abolishing the Electoral College, up 12 points from 2016. [24]

How, does the proverbial Russian definition of a hero, "He who hangs on for one minute more," apply to flawed heroes like Indiana Jones, Iron Man, and Batman? Include examples from the reading to support your conclusion. Your response must cite the articles you read in the lesson.
Imperfect heroes are those who present a history where good and evil are not simple, well-defined and well-defined concepts, but which mix, as in the real way. These heroes have problems defining what is right and what is wrong, in many moments, they have several traumas and problems, but they are able to endure their limitations and imperfections to promote what they believe is right. In other words, these characters believe that if they succeeded, in the midst of the imperfections they have to get where they are, it means that they can take it a little longer. In this sense, we can associate the Russian proverbial about the hero being "the one who can take another minute," with these characters, because they do not give up on good beings, even when it is difficult.
Answer: I couldn't find anything on this either so I hope this helps!
Flawed hero's are a more interesting take on heroic archetypes. Flawed hero's deal with the same internal challenges that we do, often in the works of bettering themselves and overcoming their human issues. This makes them relatable and more inspiring in a sense, because it's instead of seeing something that seems completely out of this world and impossible, you're seeing someone you look up to never give up on being good, even when its hard. With that, we can connect the proverbial Russian definition of. a hero, "He who hangs on for one minute more" to flawed hero's because flawed hero's represent relatability, humility, humanism, but also the strength of never giving up.
How does the description of Madame Carambeau’s house in paragraphs 1-2 contribute to the meaning of the passage?
This question is about "A Matter of Prejudice".
Answer:
The description of the house shows how old and outdated it was, just like its owner Madame Carambeau.
Explanation:
Madame Carambeau is a woman full of prejudices, old-fashioned, snobbish and intolerant. She lives within old concepts that no longer fit within today's society and this causes her to stop enjoying many good and happy things that life can offer, such as keeping a family together, having friends and keeping in touch with her own son. .
The old-fashioned way that Madame Carambeau lives can be seen even in her home, which has an outdated and somewhat old model by the standards where the story takes place.

In the song “Mad Woman,” Taylor Swift compares herself to a scorpion by saying they “strike to kill,” suggesting that when she gets provoked, she will fight back (Swift).
Commentary (your thoughts/opinions)-[place brackets around commentary]
Answer:
Using her newfound political voice, Taylor touches on one of the major injustices women face. Women (especially celebrities) are constantly ridiculed by men, society, and, yes, even other women. But when you dare to fight back at your aggressors, you're labelled "emotional" and "crazy." Women are expected to just lay down and take whatever is thrown at them with a smile.

what is the reason for the flood in the epic of gilgamesh?
what does that say about their gods?
how is this story similar to the flood story from the bible?
Answer:
The Epic of Gilgamesh has been of interest to Christians ever since its discovery in the mid-nineteenth century in the ruins of the great library at Nineveh, with its account of a universal flood with significant parallels to the Flood of Noah's day.1, 2 The rest of the Epic, which dates back to possibly third millennium B.C., contains little of value for Christians, since it concerns typical polytheistic myths associated with the pagan peoples of the time. However, some Christians have studied the ideas of creation and the afterlife presented in the Epic. Even secular scholars have recognized the parallels between the Babylonian, Phoenician, and Hebrew accounts, although not all are willing to label the connections as anything more than shared mythology.3

This was proven true almost immediately with the attack at the top of half blood hill with Percy's mom. He was almost killed, and in the process his mom was thought to have been killed. Medusa could have also killed Percy on his quest, and he managed to survive by using the reflection of his sword to look at her and kill her.

Which revisions fix the inappropriate shift in tense in the sentence? Janelle walks into the house and found a package. Select each correct answer. Janelle walks into the house and finds a package. Janelle walked into the house and had found a package. Janelle is walking into the house and found a package. Janelle walked into the house and found a package.
Answer:
The revisions which fix the inappropriate shift in tense in the sentence are:
A. Janelle walks into the house and finds a package.
D. Janelle walked into the house and found a package.
Explanation:
Let's underline the verbs in the original sentence and identify the tenses:
Janelle walks into the house and found a package.
The first verb is "walks", and it is clearly in the simple present tense. Notice the ending -s for the third person singular. The second verb is "found", which is the past form of the verb "find". Therefore, it is in the simple past tense.
To properly revise the sentence, we must choose between one of the two tenses so that the actions described will be in accordance. Thus, we should either use only the simple present or only the simple past for both verbs. That is precisely what we have in options A and D. Option A uses the simple present "walks" and "finds", while option D uses the simple past "walked" and "found". They are, for that reason, the correct options.

How can "The Transplant" in refugees by vetthanh Nguyen be read as a satire on America's obsession with labels, status, and financial wealth? And what consequences does the story seem to suggest these obsessions have on both the individual and American society as a whole?
Answer and Explanation:
"The Refugees" can be read as a satire on America's obsession with labels, status and financial wealth. That's because "The Refugees" tells the story of several families of immigrants who see America as the ideal place to escape their problems related to their home country. This is due to the stereotype created by the Americans themselves that America is the land of prosperity, ignoring the difficulties that a person can go through to prosper.
This stereotype can cause disappointment in foreigners, or even the loss of cultural identity, making them not feel a sense of belonging to something, since they cannot belong to a specific culture. Society can also be affected, as it ends up being composed of individuals who are dissatisfied, but are unable to change.

Read the excerpt from the interview with E.Y. (Yip) Harburg. We thought American business was the Rock of Gibraltar. We were the prosperous nation, and nothing could stop us now. A brownstone house was forever. You gave it to your kids and they put marble fronts on it. There was a feeling of continuity. If you made it, it was there forever. Suddenly the big dream exploded. The impact was unbelievable.
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read the excerpt from the interview with E.Y. (Yip) Harburg.
We thought American business was the Rock of Gibraltar. We were the prosperous nation, and nothing could stop us now. A brownstone house was forever. You gave it to your kids and they put marble fronts on it. There was a feeling of continuity. If you made it, it was there forever. Suddenly the big dream exploded. The impact was unbelievable.
How do Harburg's words reflect the experience of many Americans during the Great Depression?
Like Harburg, many expected that they could maintain their possessions through the Depression.
Like Harburg, many were shocked by stock market collapse and ensuing Depression.
Like Harburg, many were grateful for the lessons they learned from the Depression.
Like Harburg, many made meticulous plans to prepare for the Depression.
Answer:
Like Harburg, many were shocked by stock market collapse and ensuing Depression.
Explanation:
The excerpt shown in the question above shows that Americans saw the United States as a country so prosperous and successful that it was constantly growing and had a path of success that would go on for years. This prosperity caused Americans to be extremely surprised by the arrival of the Great Depression, as they did not believe that an empire like the one the United States had established could be swept up in ashes and reached the brink of misery overnight, as happened with the collapse of the steel market.
The correct and suitable answer from the given passage is like Harburg, many were shocked by stock market collapse and ensuing Depression.
The main vision is to show that the country like America is growing so fast and developing in all the stages due to which the American were growing automatically and the job opportunity were so high and citizen were going too.
The Rock of Gibraltar was located on the sea shore of Great Britain , also consider the Property of United Kingdom and was the major connection between the sea business from other countries.
