Minutes that Matter and Defeating Dragons are working for the same common goal: helping others. Both articles describe groups helping people constantly, consistently, and not asking for money in return, selflessly. Both groups also sacrifice their time and energy towards helping people, because they value everyone's life and happiness.

After the 9/11 tragedy, the US government became extremely wary with respect to any suspected terrorist activities. Multiple measures were and continue to be taken to protect citizens from the threat of terrorism. Though the measures taken by the government were effective, they also resulted in the violation of several constitutional rights of many US citizens. Let’s look at some examples.
Increased surveillance: In order to control terrorist activities, the US government increased surveillance in various public places, such as airports, courthouses, and malls. This surveillance was effective against tracking illegal activities, but was also ignoring citizens privacy. Security checks at many public places were made mandatory as a precautionary measure. The searches of citizens’ persons and property were thorough and detailed, and practically violated the Fourth Amendment, which states that a search cannot be carried out in the absence of probable cause.
Racial profiling: Although security checks were for all citizens, certain sections were examined more closely and regarded with general suspicion in post-9/11 security measures. For instance, people of Arabic descent were more thoroughly searched, interrogated, and sometimes detained at airports, only on the basis of their ethnicity. Race and religion were the only reasons for such strict investigations. Such bias directly violated the First Amendment rights, which give citizens the freedom of speech and religion.
Coercive interrogation: Based on race, suspects were interrogated in unreasonable ways. Many citizens went to court or to the press to complain about the unnecessary force that law enforcement authorities used to try to get information from them or try to get them to admit to something with which they were not involved, even when there was no evidence against these so-called suspects. This rigorous interrogation is also a violation of citizens’ Fifth Amendment rights, which protects them from self-incrimination.
Detention and torture: While most people were detained for a few hours or days, there have been cases where people were detained for several months even if there was the slightest hint of suspicion regarding them. Such detainees were not just kept in custody, not allowed to contact their families and friends, and questioned, but also tortured in various unconstitutional ways, such as with waterboarding, which is a technique in which the detainee goes through a simulated drowning experience. These measures were a direct violation of the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and also the Eighth Amendment right, which prohibits cruelty against citizens at the hands of law enforcement authorities.
Habeas corpus refers to the legal tenet that all individuals who are imprisoned need to be brought to court so that they can be judged by the criminal justice system (a jury of their peers), and then declared as innocent or guilty based on the evidence presented. Although habeas corpus is not a part of the Bill of Rights, it is an integral part of the US criminal justice system and the basis on which the Bill of Rights operates. Similar to the civil rights guaranteed to citizens from the Bill of Rights, the tenet of habeas corpus was also violated post 9/11 because many individuals were detained unlawfully for days and even months. These individuals were not given a chance at a fair trial before being detained, which gravely violated their Sixth Amendment right

Excerpt from Run with the Horseman Ferrol Sams The family was poor. It was "poor but proud." The confused boy grew up thinking one should be proud of being poor. One of the in-laws slipped around occasionally and made liquor. He had plenty of cash, did not read books, and was tolerated but not admired. A cousin had surrendered to the boll weevil, moved out of the county, and bought Coca-Cola stock. He was rich, but there was unspoken disdain for him because he had left the land. The grandparents told horror stories of having to boil dirt from under the smokehouse to retrieve salt after the Yankees had been on the land. They had learned to eat a weed called poke salad as a means of survival in those days, a custom that they passed on as a springtime ritual of communion to their descendants. Things apparently got a little better for awhile, but then the Great Depression hit the South like aftershock from the earthquake of Reconstruction, and the children knew poverty firsthand. They also, however, knew pride. No one in the county had any money to spend, and there was a security of blood that transcended the possession of material things. When one is convinced that one is to the manor born, the actual physical condition of the manor itself is of negligible importance.
Which best expresses the irony present in this passage?
A) It is ironic that the family is poor, yet still is proud.
B) It is ironic that one of the in-laws in the family slipped around occasionally and made liquor.
C) It is ironic that one of the boy's relatives had moved out of the county, bought Coca-Cola stock, and become rich.
D) It is ironic that they boy's family had learned to eat a weed called poke salad as a means of survival after the Civil War

After learning about active listening in Unit 3, it is time to put your active listening skills to the test and try them out! For this lab, you will be exploring two different pieces of music using the listening checklist described in the unit—and your active listening skills, of course!
Start by finding and selecting two pieces of music online. You are free to choose whatever type of music you like: pop, rock, rap, classical, instrumental, etc. Do your best to select something that is as appropriate as possible (i.e., as free as possible from curse words and inappropriate content) as your teacher will be listening to your selections too.
Create a word processing document and copy/paste a link for each musical selection in it. Below each music selection, copy/paste or recreate this chart (seen below).
Listen carefully to your first musical selection at least twice. Then, fill out the chart based on your listening. Repeat the process for the second musical selection.
Download this chart to analyze each piece of music:
RTF (Edit) PDF (Print)
After you have listened to each music selection and filled out the listening chart for each, it’s time to do some comparing and contrasting.
Write a one- to three-paragraph essay that compares and contrasts the two pieces of music that you listened to. If you need some help with what specific things to compare/contrast, refer to the listening charts that you filled out or the questions below:
How do the two musical pieces differ?
How are the two musical pieces similar?
Were the instruments featured in the two pieces different from each other?
What differences or similarities were there in tempo, or speed, of the music?
Were there any differences in what you were imagining as you listened to each piece? Did you hear a story in either piece? What emotions were evoked from listening to each song?
For information on how you will be graded, please refer to the rubric below.
Answer:
Have you ever wondered how Country and Rap music differ? Music genres include pop, rock, jazz, rap, and country. But most of them have some commons, which confuses many. I compare rap to country music in this essay. After reading this article, you should realize how much country and rap music share and how little they vary. There are many features that individual might compare. Most people assume Rap and Country music are quite different, although they have many commonalities, such strong female performers, and meaningful lyrics. Despite their differences, rap and country have a lot in common.
Rap and country lyrics are opposite. Despite their musical differences, the performers' performances and presentations have certain parallels. Before a country performance, folks tailgate and grill in the parking lot. Most rap fans come a few minutes early and take their seats. For example, most country performers are white, whereas most rap artists are black. While many white individuals attend rap concerts, few black people attend country concerts. The crowds at each concert are also different ages. Rap performances attract teenagers whereas country concerts draw all ages. These musicians can perform everywhere. Most rap concerts tend to be staged in indoor settings like basketball stadiums, theaters, or hockey rinks. Some country concerts are hosted inside, but most are staged outside in amphitheaters. Also, many county performers play during summer fairs and festivals.
The music is clearly the largest difference between the two events. The musical instruments vary greatly. A rap concert usually simply has a DJ playing tracks on stage. A country performance features a wide range of musical instruments. Some performers play their own instruments, but most have backing bands. These ensembles include a drummer, guitarist, bassist, and keyboardist. There is even a violin, banjo, or harmonica.
Lyrics are as vital as a singer's voice. A vocalist typically picks or creates a song that has a deeper significance to them. A song's lyrics may convey a wide range of emotions. They prefer to sing about love and sex. However, rappers are more candid than country performers. People like to country and rap music because they can connect to the lyrics. A song that is not relatable will not sell as well. When you listen to a music, you want the lyrics to signify something to you. When life becomes tough, some individuals resort to song lyrics. It makes you feel better knowing someone else has been through it and won.
Famous rappers include Eminem. He wrote a lot of songs about his life, kids, troubles, and feelings. His song "Mockingbird" is typical of his music. "Hayleigh, I know you miss your mom, and I know you miss your dad, while I'm gone, but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had." (“Eminem - Mockingbird Lyrics | AZ Lyrics”) During a difficult period, he penned this song for Haleigh. The music of country performers is not used to describe their life narrative. They sing about love, loss, or fun. Instead of delivering a tale, country performers utilize song to communicate sentiments. A superb musician, Clint Black. He created "When I Said I Do" for his wife. Here is the chorus: "When I said I do, I meant that I will 'til the end of all time be faithful and true, devoted to you. (“Kenny Lattimore - When I Said I Do Lyrics | AZ Lyrics”) That's what I had in mind when I said I do.”
In conclusion, music is like most things in life. Overall, both country and rap music contain essential and personal lyrics. Rap artists use their music to convey a tale, while country musicians use their music to express sentiments rather than tell a story.

Use the passage to complete the activity.
Claim: Wolves no longer need protection.
Tension exists between the ranchers who feel threatened by wolves and the conservationists who want to see wolves protected. Many ranchers want to remove federal protections for the gray wolves. They want to allow hunting again. They point to increased wolf populations in several states. Numbers have grown from under 1,000 to more than 5,000. The increase has led to more wolf attacks on sheep and cattle. Conservationists say that current wolf packs and populations are not at all stable. They point to the fact that wolves neared extinction before laws protecting them were enacted. Allowing hunting could eliminate the gains.
In 3 to 5 sentences, explain whether the author's evidence is relevant and sufficient to support the claim. Explain how the author could make the paragraph stronger.

Read the lyrics from Natalie Merchant's song "Wonder."
with love, with patience and with faith
she'll make her way
How might these words have inspired the author of the novel Wonder?
They may have made the author decide that August's mother should have only two children, because raising a lot of children is hard work.
They may have inspired the author to make August's character have to be homeschooled and his sister's character be able to go to a regular school.
They may have made the author decide that August's character should be a boy to avoid any confusion between the novel and the song.
They may have inspired the author to make August's character strong enough to face the challenges of a new school with the loving support of his family.
Answer:
They may have inspired the author to make August's character strong enough to face the challenges of a new school with the loving support of his family
Explanation:
it seems most accurate
Answer:
In Natalie Merchant's song Wonder, she sings about a girl who will make her way "with love, with patience, and with faith". These very words may have inspired the author to make the young boy Auggie's character strong enough to be able to overcome the challenges that he will face in the new school. Added to that, the support of his loving family members, even his own sister Olivia will also help him face the challenges. So yes it may have influenced the author to make August's personality strong enough to face challenges

How did most Roman plebeians make a living?
1. as slaves and servants
2. as soldiers and generals
3. as farmers and traders
4. as senators and priests
Answer:
answer: 2 farmers and generals or soldiers and generals
Explanation:
Plebeians were average working citizens of Rome – farmers, bakers, builders or craftsmen – who worked hard to support their families and pay their taxes.
Some plebeians, who were doing reasonably well, might try to save enough money to join the equestrian class. For many, however, life was a daily struggle.
Although patricians are often represented as rich and powerful families who managed to secure power over the less-fortunate plebeian families, plebeians and patricians among the senatorial class were often equally wealthy.
All the other citizens of Rome were Plebeians. Plebeians were the farmers, craftsmen, laborers, and soldiers of Rome. In the early stages of Rome, the plebeians had few rights. All of the government and religious positions were held by patricians.
Answer:
3. As farmers and traders.
Explanation:
According to pbs.org, "Plebeians were average working citizens of Rome – farmers, bakers, builders or craftsmen – who worked hard to support their families and pay their taxes."

What do you mean by Citizen?A citizen is a person who legitimately resides in a nation and is accorded that nation's privileges and protections
Women should be regarded as having the same value as males. We should provide young females with the same possibilities for school and other pursuits that we do for boys. Men and women would have healthier relationships if women's rights were improved, and society as a whole would be better.
Men are more analytical, intellectual, and logical. Women are more comprehensive, integrative, intuitive, and creative. The expressing of feelings in their presence might make men feel quite threatened since they have a much harder time connecting with their own feelings.

How do we know that some pattern, rhythm, or meter was present in some of the Psalms?
Many psalms were sung.
The first line of the Psalm states the pattern.
Many musical words and notes are used in the psalms.
Rhythm is detected when a psalm is read aloud.
Answer:
Many musical words and notes are used in the psalms.
Many psalms were sung.
Explanation:
"Psalms" is one of the 66 books in the Bible of the Christian faith. They contain songs or praise and worship which are mostly written by David, the then king of Israel.
The name "Psalm' is derived from a Greek translation, "psalmoi" meaning "instrumental music, or words accompanying the music". The psalms of the Bible are also lyrical songs of praise that can be sung or recited as verses. The presence of musical words, notes and the very nature of the lyrics shows that there are some patterns, rhythm or even meter in the Psalms.
