Answer:
Nothing. It says literally nothing. It's not so much about the morality of the participants but the situation in which they were placed.
Explanation:
Whilst one might look at this question and come to the immediate conclusion that the participant's guilt of cheating is immoral. First, we must define what immorality is. Immorality is "the state or quality of being immoral; wickedness", Immoral is "not conforming to accepted standards of morality", Morality is "principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior". When we think of being moral, we think of people doing genuinely good things out of the purity of their hearts; however, let's say that a single mother who works two part-time jobs for her toddler also attends a local college to be able to get better job opportunities and whilst her professor has acknowledged they understand her situation, they have no sympathy and continuously make life hard for the woman. The woman has nearly no choice but to cheat on her next exam; however, not because she has malicious intent or because she wants a better grade. She cheats because it's a necessity if she wants to be able to provide a roof, water, food, and comfort to her child and get a job to support them better. This does not come from a place of malice, it comes from a place of desperation that she was driven into by an ignorant professor. Her morals were in the right place but due to the unfortunate circumstance she was in, she felt forced into the bad decision. That being said, one bad decision does not mean immorality.
by George Gordon Byron An excerpt from "To Helen"
by Edgar Allan Poe
She walks in Beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o'er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet
express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!
Helen, thy beauty is to me Like those Nicean barks of yore, That gently, o'er a perfumed sea, The weary, wayworn wanderer bore To his own native shore.
On desperate seas long wont to roam, Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face, Thy Naiad airs have brought me home To the glory that was Greece And the grandeur that was Rome.
Lo! in yon brilliant window-niche How statue-like I see thee stand, The agate lamp within thy hand! Ah, Psyche, from the regions which Are Holy Land!
How is Poe’s word choice different than Byron’s?
A. Poe’s description is more grand and worldly than Byron’s.
B. Poe’s description is more calm and soothing than Byron’s.
C. Poe includes more physical description than Byron.
D. Poe confesses more about shortcomings than Byron.
Answer:
The answer to the question is:
A. Poe’s description is more grand and worldly than Byron’s.
This is because Poe uses words and phrases that evoke a sense of grandeur and worldliness, such as “Nicean barks of yore”, “the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome”, and “Psyche, from the regions which are Holy Land”. These references suggest that Poe’s speaker admires Helen’s beauty as something that transcends time and space, and connects him to the ancient civilizations and myths.
By contrast, Byron uses words and phrases that evoke a sense of calmness and simplicity, such as “cloudless climes and starry skies”, “mellowed to that tender light”, and “a mind at peace with all below”. These references suggest that Byron’s speaker appreciates the woman’s beauty as something that harmonizes with nature and reflects her inner goodness.

Answer:Being an American means living in America and having the rights of an American citizen. When Rashad's dad was a cop he assumed the black guy was in the wrong. The kid was innocent and wasn't doing anything wrong at all. All he was doing was reaching in his bag for his inhaler.
This story relates to what happened to Rashad because when he was at Jerry's he kneeled down to unzip his bag and get his phone out. The workers of Jerry's thought he was accused of stealing the chips. Just because you aren't white shouldn't mean you are treated differently because of the color of your skin.
