All white people are rich, all black people are poor, all men are strong, all women are weak. we are all lazy, we are all stubborn, age is just a number, at least that’s what they say. when people don’t understand the types of people, we describe them as what they are not. people judge us by what we say, wear, do, or where we’re from. just because they’re smiling doesn’t mean they’re happy. just because they wear glasses doesn’t mean they’re smart. they are ugly so they must be poor, they are pretty so she must be foolish. i’m a woman so i’m gentle, i’m a man so i have to be tough. we learn stereotypes from the world all around us. don’t you feel pain from being judged, by being yourself? we all scream, we all cry, our bones are all white and we all bleed red. so now we can’t be ourselves because we would get judged, or we can’t be ourselves because people would hate us. these stereotypes are changing our minds into thinking differently about ourselves, in a bad way. this isn’t just an opinion of people’s mind, it is what society sees from us. everyone has gone through the pain and shame of stereotypes. we don’t express ourselves enough to speak out the truth. we must look up way past these stereotypes, to who we really are. these people don’t know what we are really capable of. in society, equality is fading away and becoming a joke. we should all have the minds of children. children’s minds haven’t recognized stereotypes, but we the people teach them that. this is how stereotypes keep on getting passed on and passed on and passed on. getting stereotyped can lead to problems, such as anxiety or depression. why should we be categorized into groups? why do we have labels, when on the inside, we are all exactly the same? not all whites are rich, not all blacks are poor. not all skinny people are anorexic, not all fat people are obese. the entire world must bring an end to stereotyping. can someone me come up with metaphors to add to this slam poem? !

Which two lines in this excerpt from elizabeth bishops the fish suggests that the speaker respects the fish

Industrialization in europe changed the way people lived. the urban working class came into being, and with it came the drudgery of work. which two parts of this excerpt from franz kafka's the metamorphosis most closely reflect this impact of industrialization on people's lives? "what's happened to me? " he thought. it wasn't a dream. his room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. a collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table—samsa was a travelling salesman—and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. it showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer. gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. "how about if i sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense," he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn't get into that position. however hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. he must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn't have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before. "oh, no", he thought, "what a strenuous career it is that i've chosen! travelling day in and day out. doing business like this takes much more effort than doing your own business at home, and on top of that there's the curse of travelling, worries about making train connections, bad and irregular food, contact with different people all the time so that you can never get to know anyone or become friendly with them. they can all go away! " he felt a slight itch up on his belly; pushed himself slowly up on his back towards the headboard so that he could lift his head better; found where the itch was, and saw that it was covered with lots of little white spots which he didn't know what to make of; and when he tried to feel the place with one of his legs he drew it quickly back because as soon as he touched it he was overcome by a cold shudder. he slid back into his former position. "getting up early all the time", he thought, "it makes you stupid. you've got to get enough sleep. other travelling salesmen live a life of luxury. for instance, whenever i go back to the guest house during the morning to copy out the contract, these gentlemen are always still sitting there eating their breakfasts. i ought to just try that with my boss; i'd get kicked out on the spot. but who knows, maybe that would be the best thing for me. if i didn't have my parents to think about i'd have given in my notice a long time ago, i'd have gone up to the boss and told him just what i think, tell him everything i would, let him know just what i feel."

Which line in the passage can be used as textual evidence to support the following claim? many people suffer from depression. depression is a serious mental illness that affects a person physically and mentally. it interferes with a person's ability to function normally and enjoy pleasurable activities. some types of depression include major depressive disorder, seasonal affective disorder, and postpartum depression. many people confuse depression with general sadness, though people are becoming increasingly aware that it is indeed a serious illness. often people suffering from depression think that it is an incurable condition. they don’t seek any treatment because they are afraid of how others will judge them. based on data from the national institute of medical health, depressive disorders are common and affect 9.5 percent of adults in the united states, or about 19 million people every year. more than 80 percent of people with depressive disorders improve when they receive appropriate treatment.
