Should the government be allowed to restrict what people can say? If yes, give examples of when it is okay. If no, explain why not. PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Answer:
No.
Explanation:
Living in America, we have the freedom of speech. In no way should the government be able to restrict what someone wants to say. The first amendment states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Any person of power within the government who restricts freedom of speech is going against the first amendment and taking away someones voice and rights.

JEANNETTE
KENNETH
DAD
MOM
(Setting: The Washington family’s kitchen)
JEANNETTE: I’ve perused this bevy of travel pamphlets and I have no inkling of where I want to go on vacation. I thought about attending a performance at the city’s amphitheater; however, the city will be in bedlam with the performance and the sporting event occurring simultaneously.
MOM: I didn’t find a worthwhile destination either.
KENNETH: I’ve concluded that we should embark on an exhilarating and exciting trip this year—something we’ve never done before.
MOM: I don’t want to dismiss your idea, Kenneth, but where can find such an awe-inspiring experience?
KENNETH: I thought we could hike up Mount Whitney—it’s the highest peak in California. Because it’s located on the border of Inyo and Tulare counties, it’s also relatively close to home. Since we’re all strong athletes, I think that making the ascent is feasible.
JEANNETTE: (to Kenneth) That sounds like an awesome and memorable trip; however, there’s one problem with your plan—I suffer from acrophobia.
KENNETH: (with a look of befuddlement) Acro- what?
MOM: Acrophobia—it means that Jeannette suffers from a fear of heights. The root word phobia, meaning “fear of,” comes from the Greek word –phobos, which means “fearing.” Acrophobia is one of the most prevalent phobias in the country.
KENNETH: (to Jeannette) I recall a few years ago when we traveled on an airplane to Aunt Janice’s house—you were enthralled, peering out the window at the scene below.
JEANNETTE: I did have a tremendous time on the airplane; however, after that trip, my phobia gradually progressed, and now merely thinking about flying evokes terror and makes me squeamish. For me, riding the elevator to the top floor of a tall building is much like trekking up Mount Everest—it’s a gigantic feat of willpower.
MOM: Sometimes the best way to get over a fear is to face it. Perhaps we should try to climb the mountain so that Jeannette can tackle her fear. Do you think it would intolerable for you, Jeannette?
JEANNETTE: (with a look of trepidation) I don’t believe I would be very excited during the ascent, and I may not reach the apex; yet, I would savor the astonishing panoramic views. But what if I lost my composure and chose not to climb with you? I would be loath to jeopardize your trip.
DAD: Jeannette, we’re a family; we must always support each other. I believe that if you’re brave enough to attempt the climb, we should be more than willing to stop if you feel overwhelmed or extremely uneasy.
MOM: Just trying is an immeasurable accomplishment!
KENNETH: I’ll have a wonderful vacation as long as I get to view the noteworthy peak; everything else is secondary to me. What’s your verdict, Jeannette?
JEANNETTE: The thought of scaling a gigantic mountain is both scary and exhilarating. I must admit, the allure of Mount Whitney seems to trump my trepidation, and it would be incredible to overcome my fear. So, I suppose there is only one thing left to do—pack!

Which is the main theme of the passage?
EXIT TICKET for "Two kinds" — Short Response
In "Two kinds," how do June's feelings about her mother change from
the beginning to the end of the story? How do the interactions
between June and her mother illustrate this change?
Use evidence from the text to support your response. Be sure to
explain how each piece of evidence supports your analysis.
Answer:
June's feelings about her mother change from the beginning to the end of the story because when she is young, she doesn't understand why her mother makes her "try" to discover her talent (she ends up taking piano lessons) and she denies to take her piano lessons seriously since she thinks that's not her life and her mother is forcing her to take them. At the end of the story, June explains that after her mother died she went back to her house and looked at the piano that was still there. When she starts playing, she realizes that the two different songs that she used to play when she was young were actually the same song (right hand and left hand). Her mother always told her that she wasn't "talented" at playing the piano just because she wasn't trying enough, she didn't put effort, she didn't pay attention. I believe at this moment June realizes her mother was right, although it's true that her mother was extremely severe.
Every time June and her mother interacted in the short story, it was a conversation where June's mother told her that she needed to be "talented" and June told her that she didn't want to. For example, in this case her mother is telling her that it's time for her piano lessons after the TV talented show where June didn't play so well:
"Four clock," she reminded me, as if it were any other day. I was stunned, as though she were asking me to go through the talent-show torture again. I planted myself more squarely in front of the TV.
"Turn off TV," she called from the kitchen five minutes later. I didn't budge. And then I decided, I didn't have to do what mother said anymore.
After that situation, June told her mother a very hurtful phrase about how she wished she was dead like the other kids her mother hadn't had. This phrase changed the relationship between them. Then, the years that followed are described and we can read about a conversation between them when June is thirty:
A few years ago she offered to give me the piano, for my thirtieth birthday. I had not played in all those years. I saw the offer as a sign of forgiveness, a tremendous burden removed. "Are you sure?" I asked shyly. "I mean, won't you and Dad miss it?" "No, this your piano," she said firmly. "Always your piano. You only one can play."
"Well, I probably can't play anymore," I said. "It's been years." "You pick up fast," my mother said, as if she knew this was certain. “You have natural talent. You could be a genius if you want to." "No, I couldn't." "You just not trying," my mother said. And she was neither angry nor sad. She said it as if announcing a fact that could never be disproved. "Take it," she said.
Her mother's posture is still the same but their feelings have change. The next thing that happens is what has already been described, June finds herself playing the piano after her mother dies.
Explanation:
To complete this exercise, you have to read the short story "Two kinds" written by Amy Tan and then answer the questions using examples from the story.
"Two kinds" is a short story about the relationship between June and her mother. June's mother comes from China and she thinks everyone can be talented and famous in the US and June doesn't feel the same as her mother because she has been born and rise in the US.

Which word or phrase should Yasmin revise to eliminate informal and subjective language?
"believes"
"come to"
"the dangers of migration"
"which bring tears to my eyes"
Answer:
"which bring tears to my eyes"
Explanation:
Took the test :)
Yasmin should revise "which bring tears to my eyes" to eliminate informal and subjective language; that is the last option, as the phrase contains an emotional response that is subjective and may not be appropriate for a formal or academic context.
What is formal language?Formal language is typically characterized by its objectivity and lack of emotional or subjective language. In academic or professional writing, it is important to present information in an unbiased and impartial manner, using language that is clear, concise, and neutral. This helps to establish credibility and authority in the writing, and ensures that the focus remains on the content rather than the author's personal opinions or emotions.
Hence, Yasmin should revise "which bring tears to my eyes" to eliminate informal and subjective language; that is the last option.
