Question 1-4 Mary Edwards Walker, one of the nation's 1.8 million women veterans, was the only one to earn the 1 Congressional Medal of Honor for her service during the Civil War. She, along with thousands of other women, was honored in the newly-dedicated Women in Military Service for America Memorial in October 1997. Controversy surrounded Walker throughout her life. She was born on November 26, 1832, in the town of Oswego, New York, into an abolitionist family. Her birthplace on the Bunker Hill Road is marked with a historical marker. Her father, a country doctor, was a free thinking participant in many of the reform 2 movements that thrived in upstate New York in the mid-1800s. He believed strongly in education and equality for his five daughters: Mary, Aurora, Luna, Vesta, and Cynthia (there was one son, Alvah). He also believed they were hampered by the tight-fitting women's clothing of the day. Walker became an early enthusiast for Women's Rights, and passionately espoused the issue of dress 3 reform. She discarded the unusual restrictive women's clothing of the day. Later in her life she donned full men's evening dress to lecture on Women's Rights. 4 In June 1855 Walker, the only woman in her class, joined the tiny number of women doctors in the nation when she graduated from the eclectic Syracuse Medical College, the nation's first medical school and ope which accepted women and men on an equal basis. She graduated at age 21 after three 13-week semesters of medical training for which she paid $55 each. In 1856 she married another physician, Albert Miller. At their wedding, Walker wore trousers and a man's 5 coat, and later decided to keep her own name. Together they set up a medical practice in Rome, N.Y., but the public was not ready to accept a woman physician, and their practice floundered. When war broke out, Walker came to Washington and tried to join the Union Army. Denied a commission as a medical officer, she volunteered anyway, serving as an acting assistant surgeon - the first female This passage can best be classified as an essay.

Question 1-3 Brenda's Claim 1 "You don't have to keep repeating it. I hear what you're saying, and I'm telling you, it cannot be done. It's a physical impossibility." That was Gerald, making another in a series of pronouncements on the absolutes of the universe, physical and otherwise. Merely saying something was never dramatic enough for him. Gerald declared things, He asserted them. He presented them to the world, or whoever in the world happened to be listening at the time. On that particular Friday night, only Chris and Brenda had heard the latest announcement, as the three of them worked the night shift stocking shelves at Sunrise Market. "Not only can it be done, but I can do it," Brenda said plainly. Then she returned to arranging bottles of salad dressing on the shelves of aisle nine. Chris looked at his friend, wondering what she was up to. Everyone liked to burst Gerald's ,bubble in a good-natured way. Gerald was almost twenty and had graduated two years before. He was studying engineering at college, but he'd had this job at Sunrise since he was sixteen. He'd gotten used to the ribbing about being the resident science geek. They stayed quiet for a while. There were no customers in the store at this hour. It was obvious that Gerald was thinking hard about what Brenda had claimed she could do. Chris had known Brenda his whole life. They grew up three houses apart and had gone from kindergarten all the way through high school together. If there was one thing he learned about her in all those years, it was that she wasn't the everyday girl she appeared to be. She always had a lot more going on in her head than she let on. She had the appearance of any average eighteen year old, but Chris knew that behind her semi-bored expression, her mental gears were always turning. She noticed every detail, and always had thoughts that never would have occurred to Chris. After 3 movies, they'd go to Stallie's Pizza and he'd be amazed at all the things she had to say about the film they just watched. Chris would have a few opinions about which parts were funny, or exciting, or not very believable. But it was like Brenda had seen a different movie. She noticed every detail and remembered the dialogue. She didn't think just about what she saw on the screen, but she had tons of interesting ideas and viewpoints about what it all meant. And she didn't think just about movies that way. She seemed to notice more than most people in every situation. Chris MILA M This passage is most like a O comedy. O fable. O mystery. o myth.
Question 1-2 Alaskan Boundary Settlement by Joseph Horatio Chant, When the United States purchased Alaska from Russia in 1867, it bought an unclear boundary line. The line between the Alaskan panhandle and the Canadian Yukon had been badly described in an 1825 treaty between Russia and Great Britain. No one was concerned until gold was discovered in the Yukon. Then the line quickly took on importance. The most accessible route to the gold fields in Canada was via the Alaskan panhandle coastline.-from The Progressive Era (2005) My neighbor's farm and mine lie side by side, And nothing should our mutual trust divide; But they who made th' original survey 5 Were guided by the stars, the records say.

I need to write a review about the version of Much Ado About Nothing in The Globe Theatre and it is due on Tuesday, Can someone help? I have written this so far (writting attached below of what i have done so far) I am Year 10 GCSE student The Globe Theatre’s stage production of “Much Ado About Nothing” was very engaging and entertaining to watch. There were many dramatic scenes and moments in the play, as well as lots of comedic relief from the characters, and even some interactions with the audience. Even before the performance started, the actors on stage were still in character, and not standing there like puppets without strings. It was quite interesting to watch these little on-the-spot scenes (without dialogue), as it shows how the characters are, even before they are introduced. One part that I recall quite clearly is when the actress of Beatrice (Lucy Phelps) keeps teasing Hero, played by Nadi Kemp-Sayfi, by persistently blowing the smoke of a cigarette in her face. It was very funny to see, and it also kept be occupied instead of having nothing to do. When the play eventually began, the Italian soldiers marched into the theatre while singing ‘Bella Ciao,’ a traditional Italian folk song, which makes sense because it is set in Messina, Italy, and this version is also set in April 1945. This is a ‘welcome back’ gesture from Leonata and her family to Don Pedro, Claudio, Benedick, and all others who fought with them in the war.
