This proves that he chosed his cousin to be the leader. "Eventually the Sunni majority (named for sunna, or tradition) won out, and chose Muhammad's close friend Abu Bakr to become the first caliph, or leader of the Islamic community." This proves how it chosed the close friend to be leader. Thu, 10 Dec 2020 12:57:08 -0500 The main idea is that the Shia picked a leader from family members or friends. https://nowcomment.com/documents/244782?scroll_to=2237439 https://nowcomment.com/documents/244782?scroll_to=2237439 Thu, 10 Dec 2020 12:47:36 -0500 The main idea of the two highlighted supporting details is https://nowcomment.com/documents/243539?scroll_to=2219266 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243539?scroll_to=2219266 For a couple of years,the civil war between north and south Sudan made millions of people from their houses. Mon, 30 Nov 2020 21:14:50 -0500 May refugees come from places like Afghanistan, South Sudan, and the Syrian Arab Republic because the wars and oppression in each of the regions force refugees to run away from their homes. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243539?scroll_to=2219172 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243539?scroll_to=2219172 I think other countries should give refugees a house or just give them jobs so they can earn their money. Mon, 30 Nov 2020 19:33:02 -0500 "The end of the war didn't end the suffering of millions of people whose homes were destroyed, who were released from prison camps or who had been expelled from their home countries." https://nowcomment.com/documents/243539?scroll_to=2219111 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243539?scroll_to=2219111 I chose this piece of evidence because it talks about how people's houses were destroyed that were coming out of prison or had been expelled from their home countries. "Jews who had survived Nazi concentration camps throughout Europe often returned home to find that their property and businesses had been taken down by other people." I chose this other piece of evidence because it proves how peoples houses were being destroyed or other people owned the house. Mon, 30 Nov 2020 18:19:56 -0500 The main idea of the section is people were forced to leave their homes. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243539?scroll_to=2219104 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243539?scroll_to=2219104 Mon, 30 Nov 2020 18:14:25 -0500 The lesson Trevor learns once he gets fluffy back is that you don't own a thing that you love. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2135806 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2135806 That's a good conclusion for the chapter because a lot of people think that way and that's bad because that's what happened to Trevor with fufi and he ended up sufferring when they were taking the dog away which technically wasn't his dog. Thu, 15 Oct 2020 02:47:54 -0400 The highlighted dialogue enhance Trevor's story because it's showing how much he cares about the dog. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2135805 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2135805 Trevor includes it there because so the reader can imagine better the scene. The emotion he's trying to evoke the reader is imagining the scene and ind of sadness because he's fighting for his dog and they're taking his dog away. Thu, 15 Oct 2020 02:41:03 -0400 Fufi was such a significant part of Trevor's life because fufi gave him love and nobody gave him love besides fufi. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2135804 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2135804 fufi brought love to Trevor that many people didn't. Thu, 15 Oct 2020 02:38:56 -0400 This flashback enhance Trevor's stroy because it talks about how people thought about black cats like what different people thought of cats. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2135803 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2135803 Trevor includes it there because people treat the cats bad because he said their heads get chopped off. Thu, 15 Oct 2020 02:37:50 -0400 This line is powerful because it's talking about how when white people do something nobody speaks up but when a colored person does something everybody starts to make a big deal about it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2135802 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2135802 This outrage over this cat made the black people in South Africa feel confused because they're making a big deal about a cat like a colored person kicking a cat but when a white person was beating a colored person til death people people don't say anything. Thu, 15 Oct 2020 02:35:42 -0400 The lesson Trevor learns once he gets fluffy back is that you don't own a thing that you love. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233920?scroll_to=2131949 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233920?scroll_to=2131949 This is a good conclusion for the chapter because he was talking about how Fluffy made him feel, and the love that he got for Fluffy. Mostly because a lot of people now think that way. Tue, 13 Oct 2020 17:34:09 -0400 The highlighted line enchance Trevor's story by saying that the dog is his. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233920?scroll_to=2131948 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233920?scroll_to=2131948 The emotions are like anger because people are taking his dog away, and he wants the reader to know that. Tue, 13 Oct 2020 17:32:08 -0400 Fufi was such a significant part of Trevor's life because the dog was like there for him and they spent time together he felt loved. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233920?scroll_to=2131947 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233920?scroll_to=2131947 Something that Fufi brought Trevor that many other people didn't is love. Tue, 13 Oct 2020 17:30:13 -0400 This flashblack enhace Trevor's story because on the last paragraph it was taling about the black man kicking the cat. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233920?scroll_to=2131932 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233920?scroll_to=2131932 I think he includes it there so that we can know more about like what was it having cats at that time. And what people thought. Tue, 13 Oct 2020 17:28:47 -0400 This line is powerful because it talks abut times where white people did bad stuff. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233920?scroll_to=2131928 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233920?scroll_to=2131928 but when the black man was kicking the cat they were tripping about it. It's saying that white people were beating black people until death and nobody did anything but when the black guy was kicking the cat everybody was tripping about it, and the black people were confused .I think it made the people in south africa feel scared or confused, dissapointed because nobody said anything when the white people were beating black people until death. Tue, 13 Oct 2020 17:17:51 -0400 In her town, people were motivated by showing how hard they work. https://nowcomment.com/documents/232680?scroll_to=2120334 https://nowcomment.com/documents/232680?scroll_to=2120334 Because whatever you work on and whatever your life, you're the reason you are you and where you do is the existence of the gold mines. Wed, 07 Oct 2020 12:54:34 -0400 Some words that stand out to me are "vicarious" and she was using some other words too that sound interesting. https://nowcomment.com/documents/232680?scroll_to=2120321 https://nowcomment.com/documents/232680?scroll_to=2120321 I think she used these words to describe the scene so that the reader can imagine the scene and how things were back then. Wed, 07 Oct 2020 12:50:44 -0400 What happened was that the yellowish-white pattern of the cyanide dumps was broken by a black hill rising out of the veld. https://nowcomment.com/documents/232680?scroll_to=2120310 https://nowcomment.com/documents/232680?scroll_to=2120310 The hills were man-made, too, but they didn't have the geometrical, pyramidal rigidity of the cyanide dumps, they were old also. I don't think that sounds like a nice place to live in because there's a lot of bad things happening and the things there. Wed, 07 Oct 2020 12:45:51 -0400 Her town had many distinctions, distinctions were measured in that part of the world. It was the one of the oldest towns https://nowcomment.com/documents/232680?scroll_to=2120302 https://nowcomment.com/documents/232680?scroll_to=2120302 having got itself a gold strike, a general store, a few tents, and a name before 1890.
