was becoming too ‘rich' for the kids from the neighborhood and too ‘poor' for the kids at school …thinking way too much in each situation and getting tangled in the contradiction between my two worlds (pp. 53-54)." How did his mother's decision to send him to a prep school affect the narrator?

Hi. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, through the context of your question, we can assume that you are referring to "The Other Wes Moore" a book that features two boys named Wes Moore who live in violent and socially difficult environments, but who have had completely different fates.

One of the two Wes Moore was completely influenced by the environment in which he lived and ended up becoming involved in crimes and violent activities, being sentenced to life imprisonment. The other Wes, on the other hand, had a completely different life, even working in the White House.

The second Wes had a very successful life, but that only happened because his mother sent him to prep school. This school completely changed Wes' view of who he is and the environment in which he lived. He began to realize that he should be a better person, honor the sacrifices his mother made and be a successful role model for young people in the community. The preparatory school gave him the foundation to go to college, become a good professional, help the community and be a completely different person.

the correct answer is option d. the nature of democracy. on november 19, 1863, president abraham lincoln delivered his famous gettysburg address in gettysburg, pennsylvania. in his speech, rather than focusing on details of the war (soldiers, casualties, aftermath of battle), lincoln invoked the very nature of democracy, that power ultimately comes from the people, when stating, “government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish”. these words mean that democracy is a government by the people (citizens) in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by the people or by their elected representatives for the benefit of all citizens. the survival of democracy in the united states is one of the reasons why this speech so significant today.
