Answer:
No, the author does not really think that the Occupy Wall Street protesters are 'losers.'
Explanation:
'Who Speaks For The 1%?' is an article written by Joel Stein. The article is a satire and author takes a satirical stab at speaking for 1%.
In line 19, when the author refers to the Occupy Wall Street protesters aas 'losers', he did not literally mean to call them losers. The article is a satirical dig at 1%, whom the author considers, in some way, responsible for economic crisis in the country.
The next line furthers the satire when the author states that the 1%-ers are not able to take stand for themselves.
'...the 1% are available for some serious networking. But when I started talking to them, I learned that for all their supposed power, they are now too afraid to stand up for themselves.'

Explain the aphorism "envy is ignorance", from “Self-Reliance” by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Answer:
The meaning of "envy is ignorance", from “Self-Reliance” by Ralph Waldo Emerson means that an individual who is envious prevents his own personal development. Due to envying others, the person becomes ignorant of his own potentials and wishes to be like the other person he is envying. So, this means that the individual that is envious of another person is ignorant of his own potentials. Emerson rebuked and refuted the idea that man wanted to conform to his envy as he repeated the phrase, "trust thyself,".
Explanation:
In "Self-Reliance", Emerson reveals that what is genius is to believe what is actually true for you in your heart is actually true for all men. Emerson posits that every individual is made by God is unique with his/her own work to perform. So, trusting one's self is genius and is like fulfilling God's wishes.
For Emerson, he believes that the importance an individual attach to himself is paramount. What actually matters is the integrity of one's mind and not imitation or not envy.

Explanation:
I. First response. How does your response to Nea develop over the course of the story? Is she a dynamic or a static character? 2. Explain how Nea and Sourdi serve as character foils to one another. 3. Discuss whether you think Duke is a flat or a round character. 4. What is the effect of the story's being told from Nea's perspective? How might the story be different if it were told from the mother's point of view? 5. Do you think Mr. Chhay is a good or bad husband? 6. How does the information about Nea and Sourdi's trip through the mine- field affect your understanding of Nea's relationship with her sister? 7. Comment on the title. Why wouldn't an alternative like "Nea the Troublemaker" be appropriate?
Answer and Explanation:
1. Nea is the younger sister and lives in the shadow of her older sister's growth. While the older sister progresses socially, Nea remains childish and naive, but she also exhibits aggressive, anxious, uncontrolled and often overly emotional behaviors. This affects Nea strongly, causing many things in her life to be harmed. However, Nea is a character full of layers, extremely complex which makes her a dynamic character.
2. Nea has a strong mental imbalance, but positions herself as a very protective person of her sister Sourdi, who is a beautiful and delicate person, making Nea see her as a treasure that must be protected. However, even though sourdi is portrayed as very delicate, she is a much stronger and more balanced character than her sister.
3. Duke is a flat character. Although he is very important to the story, we don't see many nuances in him, other than that he loves Sourdi and that he helps her.
4. If the mother told the story, the view we have of the characters, America and what it is like to be an immigrant would be greatly modified. The hand does not have the same vision of each daughter that Nea has. In addition, the mother has memories of her homeland, being able to create a more nostalgic narrative. Nea however, presents a view of current events within a country that is not hers, but where it was created and culturalized, which makes the story richer and more identifiable.
5. Mr. Chhay seems to be a good husband in general, although he and Sordi have some arguments, sometimes they manage to get along and live the best way possible.
6. The information about the trip in the minefield stimulates the understanding of the affection and care among the sisters, who, even in a difficult situation, do not abandon themselves, even if one does not know the other so deeply.
7. Because the title "Nea, the troublemaker" represents a prejudice against Nea, since she is a person who is much more than that and who seeks to do good, even if it seems that she is not.
