Explanation:

In this sentence, Carl Sandburg demonstrates the theme of having a sense of pride in where one lives. Sandburg tells us that his hometown is Chicago. He tells us of Chicago's problems. The city is "crooked" because of its criminality and its justice system. He also tells us that it is brutal, as inequality is rampant. However, he tells us that despite these problems, people from Chicago are extremely resilient and strong, and this fills him with a sense of pride.

hey there!

the reasoning behind university’s having students create prompts is to mainly get to know the person better. they want to know their interests, goals, personality,

it’s also a good way for the university to see the persons focuses in life. for example, if someone’s room is very organized and clean, usually all aspects of their life are the same.

so really, having people prompting to apply to a university is so the college can get more information about that person.

hope this you! if you need any more details, i’d be happy to
