Describe some of the tactics used by the military to indoctrinate child soldiers, and their lasting effects on Beah in a long way gone
In order to acclimate children to war and mold them into effective killing machines, Lieutenant Jabati and his men employ several different tactics: drugs, pop culture, and several modes of emotional manipulation transform boys into killers. When Beah is about to go on his first raid, he is handed white pills for "energy". These white pills, plus brown brown and marijuana create a constant haze. Ultimately, there is a disconnect from reality when the addiction takes hold. Without the drugs, as in Benin Home, Beah becomes aggressive and the boys resort to raiding the hospital to quell their hunger. When the drugs begin to wear off, Beah's headaches return - as do images of slaughter.
Violent movies, like the drugs, help to create a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere for the boy soldiers. They would often go on attacks in the middle of films like Rambo or Commando, sometimes acting out techniques seen in the movies on the battlefield, and then pick up where they left off when returning to base. The reality of war bleeds into the fiction of war films, which helps to further disconnect the soldiers from the truth of situation. Beah's almost cinematic nightmares feel like a product of this conditioning and only through rehabilitation is he able to confront and discuss his wartime actions.
When he is being trained, Beah learns to channel his rage and seek vengeance for his family. Though he had spent months suppressing his emotions for the sake of survival, Lieutenant Jabati and his men encourage Beah and the boys to tap into the fear and anguish in order to kill. This gives the boys a personal motivation for each kill; though it is unlikely they are targeting the actual rebels who murdered their families. Jabati also exploits his authority by staging contests where the person who kills a prisoner fastest is the "winner". When Beah wins, there is a sense that Jabati is proud of him. In a way, Jabati becomes a father figure to the boys. When Beah and Alhaji are given up to the UNICEF workers, Beah feels betrayed by Jabati. In creating a power dynamic between them, Beah's trust is shattered. It takes the efforts of nurse Esther and other aid workers to begin rebuilding Beah's trust in adults.

O The large handsome falte of Dr. Jekyll grew pale to the very lips, and there came a blackness about his eyes. "I do
not care to hear more," said he. "This is a matter I thought we had agreed to drop."
O "My good Utterson," said the doctor, "this is very good of you, this is downright good of you, and I cannot find words
to thank you in. I believe you fully; I would trust you before any man alive, ay, before myself."
O But I do sincerely take a great, a very great interest in that young man; and if I am taken away, Utterson, I wish you
to promise me that you will bear with him and get his rights for him."

COMMON LIT (teens using social media for good deeds)
Explain the relationship between social media and positive social change
in the text. Use details from the text to support your answer.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
According to the Common Lit article titled "Teens Using Social Media for Good Deeds," the relationship between social media and positive social change serve to give social media a different and positive meaning, rather than be used to bullying other people or to waste time in entertainment and evasion.
According to the article, some students had the idea to use social media as a positive tool for change and to help other students. That is the case of the blog called "Wondermint Kids," or "Girl Folk," a blog for girls who like art and music.
Other kids like Michael and Mart, have blogs to promote their favorite major league baseball teams, which indicates that instead of wasting time in nonsense-scrolling the social media site or in cyberbullying, teens can use these platforms to write about interesting and constructive things.
The relationship between the social media and positive social change in the text is:
Social media can be used to do good and promote good values instead of bullying.Based on the complete text on CommonLit, we can see that there is the narration about the positive uses of the social media among teens and how they can be used to do good deeds.
With this in mind, we can see that some students decided to make use of social media as a tool for positive change and with this in mind, good values can be promoted.

Based on chapters 6 & 7. describe Frederick Douglass clever learning strategies. How do these strategies help him to achieve his
educational goals?
NO LINKS
Pls be at least 3-5 sentences if possible
Answer: Douglass lives in Hugh Auld’s household for about seven years. During this time, he is able to learn how to read and write, though Mrs. Auld is hardened and no longer tutors him. Slavery hurts Mrs. Auld as much as it hurts Douglass himself. The mentality of slavery strips her of her inherent piety and sympathy for others, making her hardened and cruel.
However, Douglass has already learned the alphabet and is determined to learn how to read. He gives bread to poor local boys in exchange for reading lessons. Douglass writes that he is now tempted to thank these boys by name, but he knows that they would suffer for it, as teaching blacks still constitutes an offense. Douglass recalls the boys sympathetically agreeing that he no more deserved to be a slave than they did themselves.

showing how a flute should be played
Answer:
Showing how a flute should be played.
Explanation:
Video media is the use of a video or film to present or show things. Videos or moving films are used to make the audience better understand and grasp what the speaker wants to say or explain.
The use of a video will be best for explaining or showing how a flute should be played. This is because the act of playing the flute is not something that can be easily explained or told through words or actions. By seeing the way a flute is actually played, and how it is managed, a learner can better grasp the process of learning how to play the flute.
Thus, the correct answer is the fourth or last option.

"You're going to love tonight's dinner," said Dad, placing a steaming dish on the dining room table. "I'm calling it 'Everyone's Favorite Soup."
"I'm sure it's delicious," said Mother brightly. But Matt wasn't so sure. He loved his dad, but when it was Dad's night to cook, you never knew
what you'd get. After his first bite, Matt knew that "Everyone's Favorite Soup" was not his favorite soup.
"Oh, I forgot the salad," said Dad.
"I'll help," said Mother, following him to the kitchen. Matt saw his chance and took it.
"Here, Dusty," he whispered, motioning to his dog.
Why does Matt call his dog?
1. He wants to give his dog a hug.
2. He wants to take his dog for a walk.
3. He wants to give his dinner to the dog.
4. He wants his dog to go into the kitchen.
Answer:
He wants to give his dinner to the dog.
Explanation:
Hope this helps have a great day!!! :)
Answer:
3. He wants to give his dinner to the dog.
Explanation:
Although it isn't stated specifically, we can make an inference that Matt will feed his dinner to the dog.
The phrase, "...Matt knew that "Everyone's Favorite Soup" was not his favorite soup," tells us that Matt does not want to have the soup.
Next, from the sentence, "Matt saw his chance and took it," we can guess that Matt is about to get rid of his soup.
So, from the information given, we can guess that Matt will give Dusty his soup.
The answer, then, is 3. He wants to give his dinner to the dog.
Good luck ^^

how does the dialogue help the reader understand the characters torvalds and nora
Answer:
The indirect characterization used in dialogue between Nora and Torvald helps to understand both characters.
Explanation:
"A Doll's House" is a play written by Henrik Ibsen, based on the real-life events of his friend, Laura Kieler and her marriage.
The dialogues serve a major purpose in the drama to understand the characters of the play. Using the technique of indirect characterization, Ibsen has painted his characters and their characteristics.
The conversation between Nora and Torvald helps us to understand their character. For instance, the way Torvald address Nora, it tells us that he considered her more like a child than an adult, and Nora accepted his remarks with a smile.
