Im running out of time read the two passages from a raisin in the sun.
passage 1:
ruth: you know what i'm going to do soon as i get in that
new house?
beneatha: what?
ruth: honey-i'm going to run me a tub of water up to
(with her fingers practically up to her nostrils.) and
i'm going to get in it-and i am going to sit and
and sit in that hot water and the first person who knocks to
tell me to hurry up and come out-
beneatha: gets shot at sunrise.
ruth (laughing happily): you said it, sister!
passage 2:
mama (еying the box, which is obviously a gift): what is that? walter (taking it from ruth and putting it on the table in front of mama) : well - what you all think? should we give it to her? ruth: oh- she was pretty good today. mama: i’ll good you - she turns her eyes to the box again. which statement best compares the two passages? the first passage hints that the family members
misunderstand one another, and the second passage
confirms it.
o the first passage hints that the family members are
easily distracted in conversations, and the second
passage confirms it.
o both passages show that the family members enjoy
celebrating life's simple pleasures.
o both passages show that the family members are poor
but are generous with one another.

What happens in puerto rico in 2012 to celebrate the anniversary of clemente’s 3000th hit?

Read the passage, then answer the question that follows. no one could have seen it at the time, but the invention of beet sugar was not just a challenge to cane. it was a hint—just a glimpse, like a twist that comes about two thirds of the way through a movie—that the end of the age of sugar was in sight. for beet sugar showed that in order to create that perfect sweetness you did not need slaves, you did not need plantations, in fact you did not even need cane. beet sugar was a foreshadowing of what we have today: the age of science, in which sweetness is a product of chemistry, not whips. in 1854 only 11 percent of world sugar production came from beets. by 1899 the percentage had risen to about 65 percent. and beet sugar was just the first challenge to cane. by 1879 chemists discovered saccharine—a laboratory-created substance that is several hundred times sweeter than natural sugar. today the sweeteners used in the foods you eat may come from corn (high-fructose corn syrup), from fruit (fructose), or directly from the lab (for example, aspartame, invented in 1965, or sucralose—splenda—created in 1976). brazil is the land that imported more africans than any other to work on sugar plantations, and in brazil the soil is still perfect for sugar. cane grows in brazil today, but not always for sugar. instead, cane is often used to create ethanol, much as corn farmers in america now convert their harvest into fuel. –sugar changed the world, marc aronson and marina budhos how does this passage support the claim that sugar was tied to the struggle for freedom? it shows that the invention of beet sugar created competition for cane sugar. it shows that technology had a role in changing how we sweeten our foods. it shows that the beet sugar trade provided jobs for formerly enslaved workers. it shows that sweeteners did not need to be the product of sugar plantations and slavery.
