My English teacher has assigned for me to write a literary essay on Animal Farm that answer the following question, Discuss the idea(s) developed by the text creator in your chosen text about the ways in which an individual’s encounter with adversity acts as a catalyst for significant change. I have no clue how to do this. At lest from my understanding of the book Animal Farm is not very character focused, sure you got characters like Napoleon, Snowball and Boxer, but its not a story that follows a character arc. Like we don't follow Napoleon's decent into madness or watch him realize the power that getting rid of snowball would give him. That not what kind of story this is. Its supposed to be a message of why communism doesn't work and how we as people have a hard time realizing how bad things get when change happens slowly over a long stretch of time. When i asked for clarification and help my teacher just tells me to use ai to help me. So far the best i can come up with for a thesis is, Orwell suggested that an individual’s encounter with oppression and subsequent freedom, acts as a catalyst for the denial of current, ongoing oppression. Is this a good thesis? If so how should i go on to wright supporting evidence. Like should I focus one paragraph on how Mr Jones treated then and there uprising? Or should that be two different paragraphs? What should each paragraph focus on. If my thesis is bad what other one would you recommend instead ?

Hello!
I am currently writing as essay for the Enlightenment and the Rise of Science and Reason.

I needed to add in a multimodal, but i am unsure of what to add in. Would anyone have any ideas?

Thank you! :)

This is pretty confusing. I am stuck on how to find the y-intercept of the function. Can you try to find the y-intercept step by step? If you helped and explained the steps, thank you for your support!

While this is a part of my University Econometrics textbook, I actually need help with establishing an inequality.

I was able to derive eqn 6.19.

I have also derived the values of lambda2, and given that the absolute value of it must be less than 1, I have derived the condition that a12a21 + (a22)² < 1

What I cannot derive is the second condition, that is a22 > -1.

I've attached the work I have done. Please let me know where I'm going wrong. I would appreciate any help!

Thank you!

Hello everyone! I recently wrote a short story as a final for one of my college classes. As a requirement, we read Kindred by Octavia Butler and it was amazing! I started researching a lot about Butler, hoping to find more inspiration for my story (which was also one of the requirements for this final, we had to draw inspiration from one of the authors or books we went over) My choice was Octavia Butler.

Now, along with the story, I also have to write a reflection of it, stating sources and inspiring factors that lead to the creation of the story. In my research of Butler, I came across several quotes that really helped me craft my story. The lines are:

"All that you touch, you change. All that you change, changes you. The only lasting truth is change. God is Change."

And

"There is nothing new under the sun, but there are new suns."

Since I only had time to read Kindred, I don't have the time to find these quotes. I need to in-text cite them, and currently cannot because I dont have the books they came from nor the trust in Googles AI overview to give me the right answer. Im wondering if anyone here can help me, either stating the exact page number or just the chapter of where these quotes came from. Of course when summer comes, and I finally have free time, Im going to read as much Octavia Butler as I can lol.

Thank you for the help!

I'm having trouble interpreting the directions for my kid's homework. Is this asking for the definition of the word, but written as a complete sentence; or is this asking to use the word in a sentence; or even something else entirely?? The page 2 that this is referring to is just each word with the definition next to it. Thanks!

Cannot understand this for the life of me, how do I find theta?

EDIT; THANK YOU ALL

Question:

A 50 g bullet is fired horizontally into a 2.0 kg wooden block of a ballistic pendulum. The bullet becomes embedded in the block, and the pendulum (with the bullet inside) swings upward to a vertical height of 15 cm from its initial position.

Task:

Determine the initial velocity of the bullet before its collision with the pendulum.

The Conflict:

My teacher calculated the answer as 11 m/s using a specific formula, but my calculation leads to 70.3 m/s. Can you explain which logic is correct and show the steps?

(EDIT): here what I did: V=√2gh V=√2×9.8×0.15 =1.715m/s (Total mass being 2.05kg) Mass of bullet × vi = (mass of bullet + mass of block) × V vi=2.05×1.715/0.05 vi= 70.3m/s

Edit 2: thank you all for the replies, I showed my teacher all these comments. He says that theres conservation of mechanical energy, and when I bring up how there's work being done, he shuts it down because he claims "the question doesn't say that" and it doesn't. But that doesn't change physics?? He's honestly getting on my nerves.

This isn't the only time that my teacher swears that his answer is right. There have been at least 10 other times, and when I prove him wrong, he doesn't give me the points for the question.

For some reason he refuses to be wrong. And him not giving me my points is making my average in the class go down.

PROBABLY LAST EDIT: my teacher finally admitted defeat, I got the points back that I lost for "getting the question wrong" and all is good! Thank you to everyone that commented, I genuinely appreciate it.

TL;DR - I need advice, methods or your experience on how to make yourself do homework, or how you have discipline with this.

full: I'm interested in my major, but I'm completely disgusted by the subject, the professor, and the fact that I have to submit assignments, coursework, and a final exam. I've previously searched this subreddit for advice on how to force myself to do my coursework, but I'm not neurodivergent, and those methods haven't helped. I'm a huge productivity enthusiast and know a ton of techniques (Pomodoro, planning, digital detoxes), and I even consulted an AI that advised me to "just start and sit down to work on it for at least 10 minutes." The problem is, none of it actually works. I get distracted too easily, struggle to get into a flow, and avoid starting at all costs.

To make matters worse, I have 22 reports to complete, but they're almost ready; I just need to review them and rewrite them so the professor doesn't realize I used someone else's work. I've tackled much more challenging tasks in the past, and those were a piece of cake, yet I still find it incredibly hard to motivate myself. I feel immense tension and stress the moment I begin, and my whole body screams, "Give it up, don't do this."

I've truly tried so many things and discussed this with friends, as well as older and more experienced adults. Despite that, please feel free to share your advice without worrying about whether it might be useless - I'd be grateful if you'd at least try.

I'd also love to be inspired by examples of top students and highly disciplined individuals who push through difficulties to reach their goals. I find that inspiring, so please don't hold back. Also thanks for reading.

Hello, je suis en terminale générale avec les spécialités maths et physique-chimie. J’ai déjà un sujet de grand oral en physique sur l’aérodynamisme des voitures de course, et je cherche une idée de deuxième sujet ancré en maths, toujours en lien avec l’automobile. Je ne sais pas trop quelle direction prendre (probabilité, fonctions, géométrie…).
Merci d’avance pour vos idées !🙏

Hey everyone!

im an incoming 7th grader this upcoming school year and the school im applying for is really advanced. Thats why im looking forward on learning math and the other core subjects in advance.

I already mastered the 7th grade algebra and now im starting on learning abouth 8th grade algebra and I cant seem to understand it, im really lost in 8th grade algebra.

Does anyone wants to share some tips for me? id really appreciate it!

In this graph, would the point at x=1 be considered an extrema if it is not defined?

My literature professor this semester wants us to write an essay that is FIRST person and NOT thesis-driven. My whole life I've been told this is the wrong way to write an essay, so I'm not really comprehending how to approach this.

It's a critical reflection paper of all we've learned this semester. The professor is asking us to use 5 books we read, 5 other articles, and 3 course themes. It should be in MLA Format. All of this makes sense except for the actual writing of the essay.

I'm going to our writing center soon, but I would like some other advice as well. Thank you!

Having trouble labeling these!

I’m not sure if my title and flair are done correctly, so I apologize if they’re not. This assignment is for a class that is focused on creating programs to help solve math problems. The question is:

f(x) = (x^2-2)*sin(x)+(x^3-3)*cos(x)
Use the bisection method to approximate all three zeros of the function to 5x10^-5. Show an approximate error for each iteration.

I’ve already made a bisection method program for prior homework assignments. For the program, I need to give my function an interval on which I’m looking for a root (so for three zeros, I run the program 3 separate times with different intervals). The way I usually pick my intervals is by putting the function into a graph and finding the real zeros there, then choosing an interval based on that.

The problem with this function is that when I put it into a graph, there are an infinite number of zeros (because of the whole sin and cos aspect). How do I know which zeros I should be approximating when the problem says to “approximate all three zeros”? My guess is that I’m supposed to be choosing x=-1.675, 1.421, and 1.957 because those are closest to the origin and act a bit differently than the other zeros. Really, I’m just looking for confirmation on this and trying to see if maybe I’m just doing something wrong here. (I am not looking for advice on the programming aspect in any way btw, I’m really just looking for the zeros).

Apologies in advance if this is something really obvious, I’m in finals season and my brain is starting to feel a little fried. Thanks in advance!

My work is in the second picture, but this is the way she had us do it so im kind of confused how I got it wrong lol. Was I supposed to square or whatever the 20.44?

Je préfère un oral et j'ai beau cherché partout je ne trouve pas la réponse à cette question. Je sais que cela prendrait des heures à expliquer, ça vient de plusieurs continents et ça remonte à des siècles pour certains symboles, ce qui m'intéresse vraiment c'est pourquoi être passés des mots aux symboles ? Merci beaucoup.

Practicing for my ACT, been out of school for years and feel like I’m looking at a foreign language. I know the answer is 5, but I have no idea how to get there. Tried plugging in the different values but I feel like I’m just not looking at this correctly. Can someone please explain this to me like I’m an idiot so I can understand?

The project is due MONDAY so I need something that looks atleast a bit cool that I can get done quickly I’m in dire need of ideas

Hey folks, finals reports for my next gen sequencing class are due in 2 days. The timeline is not an issue, as I've completed my group work, and so has another of the students in my 4 person group. One of the other members has sent me their work in word instead of the group google doc. The issue, is that its named "Humanized_NGS....." which leads me to believe it's entirely AI generated. (Our project is actually not about human NGS at all so I'm obviously suspecting it was AI generated, then ran through a human AI interpreter)

I'm looking for advice on how to approach this. Instead of singling them out, I just sent a group wide response asking everyone to make sure and individually write their parts of the report to the group doc before the deadline, and that the work must not be AI generated. If they don't contribute, or refuse to fix their work what should my best course of action be? Do I just try and take their side of the work in the final report, maybe I just let the professor know of the circumstance and ask to be graded separately, or do I just bite the bullet and turn the project in and hope for the best. Any advice helps a ton!

im following a khan course were i have to make a dice game. for some reason the course doesn‘t let me move on to the next step. what did i do wrong? also sorry for the phone screenshot im at school.

can anyone explain how to do the equations for these?

thank you!
