What do you think is meant by the phrase “quiet isn’t always peace”? If you had to restate this idea in your own words, how would you say this? Can you think of a time when things have been quiet but not peaceful? Please answer all questions.

Gorman writes that “the norms and notions of what just is, isn’t always justice.” What do you think this line means? Do you agree? Why or Why not?

Look for the moment where Gorman describes herself in the poem. How does she describe herself? Which of her own identities does she name? Why do you think she chooses to name these identities in this poem about American democracy?

How does Gorman describe what “being American” is or isn’t? Why do you think she describes it in this way? What, if anything, might you change or add to her description?

You have read the poems “Harlem” and “I, Too” by Langston Hughes. Think about any similarities to Amanda Gorman’s poem. Do any common themes arise?

quiet is not always peace because you can still be quiet, and violent at the same time, it just means you are not being verbally violent. An example is a robbery. No one could call a robbery peaceful, but it is still (usually) reasoably quiet.

idk i just need the points

explanatithe story "two kinds" , revolves around a strict relationship between a mother and daughter. the mother tries very hard to make sure her daughter jing mei , is successful in life and lives up to her full potential. the story explores alot of different themes. though , there is one theme that really stands out. you cant force someone to be something that their not.

jing mei's mother was an immagrant from china. she moved to the united states to give her daughter , jing mei , a better and successful life for her. and being raised in china with their strict rules and striving to be perfect took a toll on her and her daughters relationship. she pressures her daughter to be great and perfect all the time but it gets really hard for her to live up to her mothers standards. her mother believes that jing mei can be a child prodigy and prepares her to be and act like one. furthermore , the story ends with jing mei getting everything off her chest and seeing the dissappointment in her mothers eyes as she finds out her daughter has not lived up to her full potential. and her mother has finally gained an understanding of her daughter.

tbh ur lucky i answered because you only gave 5 points. it should have been like 50.
