Answer:
Why should there be less gun control? Well, statistically speaking, states with less gun control have a lower gun voilence rate. Two of the state with the highest amount of gun voilence are California and New York, which have some of the strictest gun policies in the United States. States like Arizona and Texas however, two of the least strict gun control states have some of the lowest numbers in the US. The reason for this being, making something illegal for citizens to own serves almost no purpose because criminals will end up getting their guns illegally. All it does is take away a citizen's defense against criminals who ignore the gun control laws. Another example of this is Mexico. Mexico is almost tied with New York and California in gun related deaths per 100,000 people and they too, have outlawed guns. This is why we must respect the second amendment and allow citizens the ability to protect themselves against non-law obeying criminals.

How did Percy get away from Grover at the bus station?
Answer:
Percy got away from Grover when Grover had to go to the bathroom.
Explanation:
In the book it says,
"Confession time: I ditched Grover as soon as we got to the bus terminal.
I know, I know. It was rude. But Grover was freaking me out, looking at me like I was a dead man, muttering "Why does this always happen?" and "Why does it always have to he sixth grade?"
Whenever he got upset, Grover's bladder acted up, so I wasn't surprised when, as soon as we got off the bus, he made me promise to wait for him, then made a beeline for the restroom. Instead of waiting, I got my suitcase, slipped outside, and caught the first taxi uptown."

Someone Might Be Watching — An Introduction to Dystopian Fiction summary
Please hurry it's due in 10 mins and has to be a more than half a page!!!!!!!!!!
Answer:
A dystopia is exactly the opposite of a utopia, basically, utopia means a perfect place. Dystopian fiction is about the future vision. The future will look like a devastating failure in societies, the environmental destruction, technological control, and government cruelty. A dystopia is a fantasy community or society that is desensitizing and terrifying. This novel diverts the readers to think in a different way about current social and political climates, and in some examples can even inspire action. Utopian is about utopia, an imaginary society, it has some qualities for its people these characteristics are considered perfect or almost perfect. A utopia focuses on equality in government, economics, and justice. Whereas dystopian is totally opposite to it. If the text is realistic, it means that it can happen or that it takes elements from reality. Dystopia is a state where everything is made perfect with the use of force and oppression

Unfortunately, you did not attach the texts or excerpts for reference.
However, trying to help you, we can comment based on our knowledge of the topic.
Konnikova and Nisbet's opinions toward the news media are that often journalists not always are responsible when writing or reporting the news.
Journalist Matthew C. Nisbet wrote the article "Why Partisans View Mainstream Media as Biased and Ideological Media as Objective," in July 2011. In the article, he questions the way some journalists try to bias information by the way they write and use certain terms in order to get the reader to think in a determined way.
On the other hand, journalist Maria Konnikova wrote an article titled "How Headlines Change the Way We Think," in December 2014. In the article, she questions the way some journalists try to influence the reader's mind catching its attention through the use of sensationalism or biased headlines that are not completely true or cause confusion.
Answer:
5. Nisbet does not blame journalists responsible for bias in the news. He mentions the many factors of determination of of bias and the main point that stood out is the “ hostile media effect .” On the other hand, Konnikova blame editors and their headlines. She discusses in her article how headlines can easily mislead audiences.

What word does "nomadic" modify if it is being used as an adjective in this epigram?
"Old longings nomadic leap,
Chafing at custom's chain
Again from its brumal sleep
Wakens the ferine strain."
Answer:
As used in this epigram, "nomadic" is modifying the noun "longings".
Explanation:
This question is tricky because the word order in the poem is inverted. In English, the adjective is placed before the noun it modifies: beautiful girl, blue sky, bright eyes, etc. But here, the author has chosen to place the adjective "nomadic" after the noun it refers to, which would be "longings". What the epigraph means is that our old nomadic longings, that is, that desire we have to move from one place to another, which we inherited from our ancestors, will burst out if we stay in one place for too long.
The poem by John Meyers O'Hara is used as an epigraph (short quotation) at the beginning of "The Call of the Wild", a novel by Jack London.

He cites the fact that the slaves were secured body to body on an international journey and were given little to no food, while being exposed to a plethura of disease each day.
