Plot Summary
The nameless protagonist/narrator begins his story by letting the readers know that he was once a nice, average man. He had a pleasant home, was married to a pleasant wife, and had an abiding love for animals. All that was to change, however, when he fell under the influence of demon alcohol. The first symptom of his descent into addiction and eventual madness manifests with his escalating maltreatment of the family pets. The only creature to escape the man's initial wrath is a beloved black cat named Pluto, but one night after a serious bout of heavy drinking, Pluto angers him for some minor infraction, and in a drunken fury, the man seizes the cat, which promptly bites him. The narrator retaliates by cutting out one of the Pluto's eyes.
While the cat's wound eventually heals, the relationship between the man and his pet has been destroyed. Eventually, the narrator, filled with self-loathing, comes to detest the cat as a symbol of his own weakness, and in a moment of further insanity, hangs the poor creature by the neck from a tree beside the house where it's left to perish. Shortly thereafter, the house burns down. While the narrator, his wife, and a servant escape, the only thing left standing is a single blackened interior wall—on which, to his horror, the man sees the image of a cat hanging by a noose around its neck. Thinking to assuage his guilt, the protagonist begins searching out a second black cat to replace Pluto. One night, in a tavern, he eventually finds just such a cat, which accompanies him to the house he now shares with his wife, albeit under greatly reduced circumstances.
Soon enough, the madness—abetted by gin—returns. The narrator begins not only to detest the new cat—which is always underfoot—but to fear it. What remains of his reason keeps him from harming the animal, until the day the man's wife asks him to accompany her on an errand to the cellar. The cat runs ahead, nearly tripping his master on the stairs. The man becomes enraged. He picks up an ax, meaning to murder the animal, but when his wife grabs the handle to stop him, he pivots, killing her with a blow to the head.
Rather than break down with remorse, the man hastily hides his wife's body by walling it up with bricks behind a false facade in the cellar. The cat that's been tormenting him seems to have disappeared. Relieved, he begins to think he's gotten away with his crime and all will finally be well–until the police eventually show up to search the house. They find nothing but as they're headed up the cellar stairs preparing to leave, the narrator stops them, and with false bravado, he boasts how well the house is built, tapping on the wall that's hiding the body of his dead wife. From within comes a sound of unmistakable anguish. Upon hearing the cries, the authorities demolish the false wall, only to find the wife's corpse, and on top of it, the missing cat. "I had walled the monster up within the tomb!" he wails—not realizing that in fact, he and not the cat, is the actual villain of the story.

In the text "Glenn miller" How do you know the author's intent?
Answer:
to inform the reader about jazz musician Glenn Miller
Explanation:
One of the most recognizable forms of jazz music is swing. Trombonist and band leader Glenn Miller helped it become one of America’s favorite types of music. It was different from other types of jazz. Miller did not like a lot of improvisation. His music was well planned, including the solos. Some critics said anyway. Miller’s music wasn’t true jazz because of this. People loved the sound of the big bands anyway.
Miller was a member of several bands until he started the Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1938. His band became very popular and recorded several hit songs. Live broadcasts of the orchestra’s music played over dancing. the radio three times a week. Miller’s music was lively and fun to dance to. It gave birth to swing dancing.
In 1942, Miller broke up his band to join the United States Army Air Force during World War II. He was made a captain and had permission to create a band. Their job was to boost the mood of troops in Europe. The Army Air Force band performed for troops live and over the radio. Unfortunately, Miller was on a plane that disappeared over the English Channel in 1944. The Army Air Force Band continued playing in his honor until the end of the war.

(i think there is a possibility they're real)
No. Aliens are something people have created and made up using their own wild imaginations throughout many centuries. Plus no life beyond Earth has ever been found; there is no evidence that alien life has ever visited our planet. It's all a story. Therefore, I believe that Aliens aren't real.

No

No, I do not think aliens are real. I dont think they are because how would they survive in space with no oxygen? We have never found anything stating that their is life on different planets. Don't you think that we would have found something by now showing that their is life on other planets?

Answer:
Explanation:
Grandparents have always played an important role in family life, but over the last twenty years, many have had increased responsibility for their grandchildren due to changes and issues in families and society. The first major change is the provision of child care. Grandparents, mostly grandmothers, are the major providers of child care for preschool children, particularly for babies and toddlers, when both their parents are in the workforce. Grandparents also help parents with school-age children by picking them up from school, and by caring for them during school vacations. The second change for grandparents, and the one which is associated with more difficult issues in their own lives, is when they have to take over full responsibility for bringing up grandchildren because their parents are unable to do so, often because of drug or alcohol abuse. The relationship that grandparents have with their grandchildren can also be affected by the divorce and sometimes re-partnering of the parent generation. This paper discusses the issues involved in grandparent roles in the above circumstances and suggests ways in which service providers can support grandparents.
Most grandparents look forward to the birth of a grandchild, especially the first grandchild, and the pleasure of getting to know the child without the responsibility that being a parent involves. Grandparents often have fulfilling relationships with their grandchildren, watching them learn and grow and being part of their lives, while others find that they are expected to do too much. Some have to bring up their grandchildren when the parents cannot and some do more childminding than they had expected. Some grandparents have less contact than they would like, due to separation or divorce of parents.
In developed countries like Australia, grandparents live longer, are generally better educated and healthier than previous generations. Some become grandparents when they are relatively young and in the workforce, while others, because of the later age of parents at the birth of their first child, may be retired or approaching retirement. The grandparent role changes over time as grandchildren grow, other grandchildren are born, as family members marry, separate, remarry and move away and grandparents grow old and sometimes frail.
When the first child is born, the parents have to adjust to their new roles as parents, to a changed relationship with each other, and to meeting the needs of the new baby. Grandparents, on the other hand, appear to have less adjustment to make, because it is of a different nature and less dramatic. Being both a parent and grandparent can lead to some ambiguity at times. In the beginning the parent role may be the dominant one as they watch the inexperienced parents (their child and partner) trying to cope. Nevertheless, the feelings that grandparents have for their own child and those, however loving, that they have for a grandchild are usually appreciably different (Kornhaber, 1996). Grandparents often worry more about their own child than their grandchildren for whom they generally feel less responsible.
Secure attachment to parents is seen as vital for children's emotional development but less attention is given to attachment relationships with other significant family members. However, there are advantages for children in having attachments to a number of significant adults and especially to grandparents (Silverstein, 1991; Tizard, 1986). Contact with grandparents can be mutually satisfying for both generations. Grandparents are usually not so caught up with the daily routines and issues of living with the grandchildren and have more time to listen, observe and attend to small things than busy parents. Grandparents can reflect and pass on to their grandchildren cultural knowledge as well family and community traditions (Hillman, 1999; Kornhaber, 1996). Positive relationships with grandchildren are not only satisfying for the grandparents but also offer opportunities for emotional integration rather than self-absorption in their later life development.
Grandparents have always been significant members of the family, but over the past 20 years, many have taken on more responsibility for raising their grandchildren as a result of social and familial change.
What do you mean social change?Social change, according to sociologists, is the transformation of cultural and social institutions as a result of changes in human interactions and relationships. These alterations take place gradually and frequently have significant long-term effects on society.
Sociologists have utilized social change models from different academic disciplines throughout the historical evolution of their study. Though various models have refined contemporary views of social development, evolution endures as an underlying principle.
In the late 19th century, when evolution became the dominant paradigm for understanding biological change, ideas of social change took on an evolutionary cast.
Other sociological models compared social transformation to the development of Western technology. In the middle of the 20th century, anthropologists developed an approach to social development known as structural functionalism by drawing on the language theory of structuralism.
This theory put out the idea that there are certain fundamental institutions that govern social behavior. A change in one institution will have an impact on other institutions because of their interdependence.

The quote from the text that best supports the answer to Part A is "When you're behind bars, you believe that no one even knows that you exist anymore" (Chapter 13). So the correct option is D.
This quotation supports the response to Part A, which requests proof of the ways in which the experience of being imprisoned might impact one's sense of identity and worth. Wes Moore discusses in the text how feeling forgotten and invisible while incarcerated affected him.
He thought no one even knew he existed or gave a da'mn about him. This demonstrates how being imprisoned can negatively affect a person's sense of identity and self-worth. It bolsters the notion that incarceration can cause a person to feel alone and cut off from the outside world.
Overall, this quotation is a good illustration of how being imprisoned may change how someone sees themselves and their place in society. It serves to underline the notion that incarceration can significantly alter a person's identity. So the correct option is D.
