Louisa May Alcott, Author and Activist
The novel Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott, is a classic beloved by many. In part an autobiographical account of Alcott’s life, the book illustrates women’s roles during the mid-nineteenth century. One might think after reading the book that Alcott was a firm supporter of the traditional roles for women, which included getting married and raising a family.
However, Alcott was not a typical woman.
For one thing, she was raised in an unconventional family. Her father, a teacher, writer, and philosopher, held views that did not conform to most of American society. For example, he used the Alcott home as a station on the Underground Railroad for enslaved people who had run away. He also believed that his daughters should pursue their passions and develop their intelligence. Most Americans believed that a woman’s place was to be a wife and mother.
Alcott was greatly influenced by her father. As she became older, she embraced the idea of equality for women. Where women were expected to be good housewives and depend on their husbands, Alcott believed that women were independent thinkers and could be self-supporting. She also refused to marry.
Before the publication of Little Women, Alcott was already a published author, having written short stories and thrillers, which she called “blood and thunder tales.” These were all written under a different name, or pseudonym, to disguise the fact that she was a woman. She had also documented her experiences as a nurse during the Civil War in a fictional account called Hospital Sketches, published in 1863. This book was Alcott’s first successful work.
By 1867, Alcott had established herself as an author who could write on a variety of subjects. So her publisher, Thomas Niles, suggested that she write a girl’s book. At this time, there was not a lot of literature published for children. But Alcott was not interested, stating in her journal that she “never liked girls or knew many, except my sisters....” Alcott also feared that writing a girls’ novel would be boring, especially in comparison to her earlier works.
In the end, it was her father who decided the matter for her. When he approached Thomas Niles about publishing a book he had written, Niles consented, but only if Louisa would write the girls’ book. Louisa agreed and set to work. She sat at her writing desk, built by her father, and proceeded to complete the book in two and a half months.
Alcott decided to write a story about the March family, to be based on her own family. The March sisters Jo, Beth, Meg, and Amy were modeled on Alcott’s sisters, with Jo being most like Alcott herself. In the book, Jo is a talented, headstrong, aspiring writer, reluctant to commit to the idea of marriage or dependence on a man. Alcott used her journals to recall some of the family’s experiences.
Even after working on the first twelve chapters, she and Niles both thought that the novel was “dull.” Once the book was fully written, Alcott was nervous about whether readers would embrace this new work. However, much to her surprise, the book was a smashing success, selling thousands of copies. Alcott began receiving letters from a great number of fans. She was asked to speak throughout the country.
All the attention made Alcott feel uncomfortable. She also did not like the way her readers, mostly young girls, demanded to know who the March sisters were going to marry. She wrote, “Girls write to ask who the little women marry, as if that was the only end and aim of a woman’s life.” Nevertheless, she responded to public demand and eventually wrote more about the March sisters in the novels Little Men and Jo’s Boys.
The success of Little Women and other stories earned Alcott the financial independence she desired. But she was never as engaged in writing for young readers as she was in her thrillers from years before. Nine years after the publication of Little Women, she went back to writing the tales of “blood and thunder” that she truly enjoyed. While Alcott was familiar with the traditional roles of women and could write at length about them, she rejected them for herself.
In "Louisa May Alcott, Author and Activist," what is the author's viewpoint with regard to Alcott as a person and literary figure?
The author is ambivalent toward Alcott and feels her fame is overblown.
The author is biased against Alcott and sees her as a bad influence.
The author is surprised by Alcott and curious as to her motivations.
The author is biased toward Alcott and admires her.

Urgent If a coworker consistently questions Darias ability to do her job he is: -threatening her competence face -threatening her autonomy face -threatening her fellowship face -None of the above
Answer:
A. threatening her competence
Explanation:
Competence refers to a person's ability to discharge his duties well because he is skilled at his job. A competent person discharges his duties well and is excellent at his job. When a person is consistently accused at work for not discharging his duties properly, the accuser is pointing fingers at his competence.
So, when a coworker questions Darias' ability to do her job, he is threatening her competence.

Answer:
Topic: Komodo Dragons.
Cause - invention on invention (when, why, who,etc): “The Komodo dragon was first documented in 1910 by Lieutenant van Steyn van Hensbroek who went to Komodo Island after hearing stories about giant lizards. He killed a dragon and sent the skin and several photographs to Peter A. Ouwens, director of the Zoological Museum and Botanical Garden at Bogor, Java, who eventually determined that the dragon was a monitor lizard. Several expeditions followed including an expedition led by W. Douglas Burden which captured 27 specimens and examined at least 70 individuals in 1926.
Positive Effect 1 + Support Details: Although dangerous, the Komodo dragon is considered to have a positive impact in increasing the income of the community within Komodo Village (100%) through tourism sector, while only 23% of the Rinca people felt the positive impact of the Komodo dragon's presence.
Positive Effect 2 + The residents of Komodo Village were dominated by natives (90%) with a very small population of immigrants, while those of Rinca Village, were dominated by migrants from Flores-Bajo. The majority of Rinca villagers are currently engaging in fisheries as fisherman and dry fish traders, in contrast to Komodo villagers who are mostly engaged in the tourism sector. The perceptions of the Komodo Village community towards their interactions with Komodo were categorised as good (60.6), while the perceptions of the Rinca Village Community were in the moderate category (47.6).
Negative Effort 1 + Support Details: The team found that the dragon's venom rapidly decreases blood pressure, expedites blood loss, and sends a victim into shock, rendering it too weak to fight. In the venom, some compounds that reduce blood pressure are as potent as those found in the world's most venomous snake, western Australia's inland Taipan.
Negative Effects 2 + Komodo dragons have shark-like teeth and poisonous venom that can kill a person within hours of a bite. Yet villagers who have lived for generations alongside the world's largest lizard were not afraid — until the dragons started to attack.
The information about the Komodo dragons is given below in a detailed form. Kindly follow them closely to know the details better.
What is the information gathered about the Komodo dragon?The reason for the cause:
(When, Why, Who, etc.) Cause of innovation on invention After hearing tales of enormous reptiles, Lieutenant van Steyn van Hensbroek traveled to Komodo Island in 1910 and became the first person to describe the Komodo dragon.
Peter A. Ouwens, director of the Botanical Garden and Zoological Museum in Bogor, Java, received the skin of a dragon that he had killed along with a number of images and was able to identify as a monitor lizard.
There were several more excursions, including one conducted by W. Douglas Burden in 1926 that collected 27 specimens and looked at at least 70 people.
Advantages:
1) Despite being dangerous, the Komodo dragon is thought to have a positive impact on raising the community's income within Komodo Village (100%) through the tourism sector, while only 23% of the Rinca people felt the presence of the Komodo dragon had a positive impact on them.
2) In contrast to Rinca Village, where Flores-Bajo migrants predominated, Komodo Village occupants were predominately locals (90 percent), with a very tiny population of immigrants.
In contrast to Komodo villagers, who are mostly involved in the tourism industry, the majority of Rinca villagers are today employed in the fishing industry as fisherman and traders of dry fish.
The perceptions of the residents of Komodo Village concerning their interactions with Komodo were rated as positive (60.6), whereas those of the residents of Rinca Village were rated as moderate (47.6).
Limitations:
The crew discovered that the dragon's venom rapidly lowers blood pressure, speeds up blood loss, and throws a victim into shock, leaving it unable to defend itself.
Some of the blood pressure-lowering substances in the venom are just as strong as those discovered in the inland Taipan snake from western Australia, which is the most deadly snake in the world.
With their shark-like teeth and lethal venom, komodo dragons may kill a victim within hours of biting them. However, until the dragons started attacking, the villagers who have spent millennia coexisting with the largest reptile in the world showed no signs of fear.

How can saying no to phrases such as “boys will
be boys” and “ he does that because he likes
you" disrupt sexism
Answer:
First of all, what is sexism?
This is a prejudice or stereotype on women based on their gender. Sexism has to do with mentioning some type of work or chore as being "for a woman" and mentioning another job as being "for a man". Sometimes, these prejudices or stereotypes are done in a demeaning way that can be found offensive.
Therefore, saying no to sexist phrases such as "boys will be boys" and "he does that because he likes you" would help change the narrative and help the male gender become more responsible and 4espectful towards the females.

Boo!” my friend Emilie yelled. “AHHH” I screamed. “Stop it’s Halloween night. That is so not funny. You know what this day does to me.” I said. “I know I just wanted to get you in the spook mood.” She said. “I know but, you know how I get super scared over the tiny things.” I said. “I know.” She said. “Ugh where is he!? He is always so late and tonight the day we got together!.” Emilie said. “Hey I’m here!” Luke said. “Babe you’re late.” Emilie said. “I know but, I will make it up tonight;)” He said. “EWWWW! Get a room.” I rolled my eyes. “Speaking of guys where is your boy toy. You have been together for 2 years, he shouldn’t be late, Arizona.” Emilie said. “I know but, he is so caught up in football and grades and- “I got cut off. “You miss me?” My boyfriend showed himself. “No, we didn’t” Emilie said. “Come on guys let’s get going into the scariest haunted house of all time.” I said. “Y’all first” I said. We went in. Then it was over. “That was terrifying” I said. “Yeah” they all agreed. “Let’s go walk around babe.” I said. “Ok” he said. “Bye!” I said. “Bye bestie!” My best friend said. It was a normal and fun as a festival until we got into my car. He got cut in the throat. I ran out of that car and started running somewhere. We were the only ones really there because it was 1 am. I somehow found Emilie and Luke. I told them. They didn’t belive but then, we saw a person but, they had a mask on. The mask looked like pig skin and he or she was wearing a yellow jumpsuit. We ran for our lives. We stopped and hid. I hid in the bushes, Emilie hid with jake behind a clown poster. We heard footsteps. Then a scream. I looked over and saw Luke with a spear going through his stomach. The killer must have hit from the back. Me and Emilie ran and got in her car. We went to the police office. The next day (We got no sleep that night) the police went and saw the bodies. Our parents were horrified.
Fast forward two months later
We were the funeral. Then boom the dad during the speech just stabbed. Everyone ran and went and called the police but, now there was 4 pigs. Emilie got stabbed and I had to run. That is my biggest regret because she passed away. That day 18 people died. I was the only survivor. I haven’t been the same because when the police caught them. They disappeared out of thin air, then came behind them and possed them. Still to this day no one has found them. I was 16 when that happened, I just turned 21. I may or may not have done all that but, I will never tell that seceret. Sleep with one eye open!

However, the act was helpful for offering quality education and academic content to the underprivileged yet the key problem associated with NCLB is the entire focus being devoted to the test scores instead of instilling learning and this has eventually led to the lowering of the graduation rate and lowering of the number of students going to college. The tests conducted on the basis of insufficient material leading to this failure of the act.
