Tue, 02 Mar 2021 11:27:57 -0500 Because students of color live in poorer neighborhoods, they automatically get a poorer education system. https://nowcomment.com/documents/261819?scroll_to=2361978 https://nowcomment.com/documents/261819?scroll_to=2361978 White kids are eligible to receive more supplies than other students, which can put them ahead of others. Tue, 02 Mar 2021 11:24:55 -0500 Homes in poorer neighborhoods are easier to receive for black people. https://nowcomment.com/documents/261819?scroll_to=2361968 https://nowcomment.com/documents/261819?scroll_to=2361968 Since white households see an increase in the prices of their homes it gets harder and harder for black people to make it to those neighborhoods.

In imperialism, the people look to military enforcement to better a situation, I believe that Orwell included this sentence to show that even though they hold power they still aren't prepared to deal with every situation. Tue, 01 Dec 2020 11:14:51 -0500 Intentional DIction Choice https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220358 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243929?scroll_to=2220358 When Orwell uses these hyphens, he is trying to join the idea of doing something secretly and theoretically.

If teachers were trained for situations like this Muslim students wouldn't have to endure so much pain.
