Read the paragraph. Then answer the items. Giraffes’ towering height is the key to their ability to survive in their often-dry habitat. It allows them to reach the tender leaves at the top of acacia trees. Because these leaves are about three-quarters water, they also provide moisture when there are no watering places nearby. Giraffes didn’t just decide to grow longer necks to reach these leaves! Over hundreds of generations, the tallest giraffes, who could reach more leaves, became healthier, lived longer, and had more offspring. Gradually, the average height increased.3. Paraphrase the rst two sentences of the text.4. Summarize the paragraph.
Answers
Answer:
he genus Acacia is well-represented in southern California parks and gardens with dozens of different species. In fact, it is one of the largest genera of trees and shrubs in the world, with nearly 800 species. It is rivaled in size by only a few woody genera, such as Ficus (1,000), Eucalyptus (500) and Cassia (500). Acacias are commonly cultivated throughout temperate, tropical and desert regions, and include numerous distinctive growth forms with a profusion of yellow or white flower clusters. Acacias also provide us with many useful products, from beautiful hardwoods to water-soluble gums used as a thickening agent in your favorite frozen dessert. In the wild, native acacias provide the food and habitats for a variety of animals, from hoofed mammals and birds to countless species of insects. Extensive browsing by giraffes can prune the understory branches of acacia trees. The characteristic flat-topped crowns of some species are genetically determined. For example, the widespread umbrella thorn (Acacia tortilis) on vast African savannahs is adapted to this environment. Apparently the exaggerated umbrella-shaped crown enables the trees to capture the maximum amount of sunlight, with the smallest of leaflets. Swollen thorn acacias of Central America and South Africa form one of nature's most remarkable symbiotic associations with ants.

In the opening chapter of the text "their eyes were watching god" , Hurston sets up a contrast between men and women. She metaphorically says men are impractical because they chase after dreams that are unattainable; however, women are more practical as they make do with what they have. She wrote this in 1937. Do these descriptions apply to men and women in today's world? How do her observations compare and contrast to your observations and experiences?
Respond thoughtfully to this prompt with a claim, examples/observation from experience, and reasoning (CER--minimum of 6 sentences).

Answer:
Even in today's world men and women both have different levels of privilege. In the 1900s women were seen more and housewives and mother's than as people. Now let's go back farther in time when women were not allowed to read, go to school or even think for themselves, men were always able to dream bigger and go after those dreams because they could. While women had to think practical because they know they had way less of a chase of there dreams actually coming true.

If I can't swim, then I wouldn't get into the Olympics for swimming because there's someone out there who has trained and can swim very fast and the Olympics would much rather have them over me. Technically speaking, that's not fair because I should have a chance to race in the Olympics even as someone who can't swim well. But that is the way life works and that's how we're a functioning society; some people are just better at some things than other people are and some people work harder for the things they want, so they excel. Society has never and will never be fair, but that's the way things function.

How does the author develop the idea that it's difficult for her to discuss
her surname with white or non-African American people?
Answers
Answer:
In some ways enslaved African American families very much resembled other families who lived in other times and places and under vastly different circumstances. Some husbands and wives loved each other; some did not get along. Children sometimes abided by parent’s rules; other times they followed their own minds. Most parents loved their children and wanted to protect them. In some critical ways, though, the slavery that marked everything about their lives made these families very different. Belonging to another human being brought unique constrictions, disruptions, frustrations, and pain.
Slavery not only inhibited family formation but made stable, secure family life difficult if not impossible.Enslaved people could not legally marry in any American colony or state. Colonial and state laws considered them property and commodities, not legal persons who could enter into contracts, and marriage was, and is, very much a legal contract. This means that until 1865 when slavery ended in this country, the vast majority of African Americans could not legally marry. In northern states such as New York, Pennsylvania, or Massachusetts, where slavery had ended by 1830, free African Americans could marry, but in the slave states of the South, many enslaved people entered into relationships that they treated like marriage; they considered themselves husbands and wives even though they knew that their unions were not protected by state laws.
A father might have one owner, his "wife" and children another.Some enslaved people lived in nuclear families with a mother, father, and children. In these cases each family member belonged to the same owner. Others lived in near-nuclear families in which the father had a different owner than the mother and children. Both slaves and slaveowners referred to these relationships between men and women as “abroad marriages.” A father might live several miles away on a distant plantation and walk, usually on Wednesday nights and Saturday evenings to see his family as his obligation to provide labor for an owner took precedence over his personal needs.
This use of unpaid labor to produce wealth lay at the heart of slavery in America. Enslaved people usually worked from early in the morning until late at night. Women often returned to work shortly after giving birth, sometimes running from the fields during the day to feed their infants. On large plantations or farms, it was common for children to come under the care of one enslaved woman who was designated to feed and watch over them during the day while their parents worked. By the time most enslaved children reached the age of seven or eight they were also assigned tasks including taking care of owner’s young children, fanning flies from the owner’s table, running errands, taking lunch to owners’ children at school, and eventually, working in the tobacco, cotton, corn, or rice fields along with adults.
Slave quarters. Mulberry Plantation, South Carolina.
Slave quarters.
Mulberry Plantation, South Carolina.
On large plantations, slave cabins and the yards of the slave quarters served as the center of interactions among enslaved family members. Here were spaces primarily occupied by African Americans, somewhat removed from the labor of slavery or the scrutiny of owners, overseers, and patrollers. Many former slaves described their mothers cooking meals in the fireplace and sewing or quilting late into the night. Fathers fished and hunted, sometimes with their sons, to provide food to supplement the rations handed out by owners. Enslaved people held parties and prayer meetings in these cabins or far out in the woods beyond the hearing of whites. In the space of the slave quarters, parents passed on lessons of loyalty; messages about how to treat people; and stories of family genealogy. It was in the quarters that children watched adults create potions for healing, or select plants to produce dye for clothing. It was here too, that adults whispered and cried about their impending sale by owners.
Family separation through sale was a constant threat.Enslaved people lived with the perpetual possibility of separation through the sale of one or more family members. Slaveowners’ wealth lay largely in the people they owned, therefore, they frequently sold and or purchased people as finances warranted. A multitude of scenarios brought about sale. An enslaved person could be sold as part of an estate when his owner died, or because the owner needed to liquidate assets to pay off debts, or because the owner thought the enslave
