44. During World War II, as many as 7,000 detainees and "internees" were held at the Island.
45. Under the Geneva Conventions, war prisoners were permitted to have an advocate speak for them.
46. Once registered, immigrants were free to enter the New World and start their new lives. But if they were sick, they spent days, weeks, months even, in a warren of rooms. Some, like the tuberculosis ward, were open to the sea, where a gentle New York harbor breeze cleansed their lungs, improving their chances. Other rooms were solitary, forlorn places where the illness itself decided when to leave or stay. Most patients in the hospital or Contagious Disease Ward recovered, but some were not so lucky. More than 120,000 immigrants were sent back to their countries of origin, and during the island's half-century of operation more than 3,500 immigrants died there.
47. 350
48. 3,500
49. In 1954, after 62 years of operation, Ellis Island was closed by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. For ten years, the Main Building stood vacant. Vandals made off with anything they could carry, from doorknobs to filing cabinets. Snow swirled through broken windows, roofs leaked, weeds sprang up in corridors, and interior walls soaked up harbor moisture like sponges. In 1965, Ellis Island became part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument, overseen by the National Park Service. Nearly thirty years later, in 1990, the Main Building was fully restored and opened as the Immigration Museum.

What is a counterclaim to video games improve coordination?
Answer:
Although it may help in certain areas of the mind and body it is also harming the vision of the person. Being in front of a screen for long periods of time can easily damage your eye-sight. As stated in East West Eye Institution, "...excessive video game use can cause eye discomfort, focusing problems, blurry vision and headaches." Which in the long run will not be very favorable. Although it is nice to take a break from the real world many people today have a "addiction" to video games. This may lead to poor social skills, unrealistic expectations, poor sleep schedule, and aggression to name a few. The list just goes on... yes video games improve coordination but is it really worth all the risks?
Explanation:
(I got u <3)
Answer:
A counterclaim to the claim that video games improve coordination is that video games can actually worsen coordination. This is because video games can be very sedentary, and they can lead to people becoming less active in general. Additionally, some video games require players to use very repetitive movements, which can actually make it more difficult for them to perform more complex tasks that require a variety of movements.
Here are some specific examples of how video games can worsen coordination:
Sedentary lifestyle: Video games can be very sedentary, and they can lead to people becoming less active in general. This is because video games require people to sit or stand in one place for long periods of time. This lack of physical activity can lead to a decrease in muscle mass and strength, which can make it more difficult for people to perform coordinated movements.
Repetitive movements: Some video games require players to use very repetitive movements. This can actually make it more difficult for them to perform more complex tasks that require a variety of movements. For example, a video game that requires players to constantly click the mouse can make it more difficult for them to perform tasks that require them to use their hands in a variety of ways, such as playing a musical instrument or writing.
It is important to note that not all video games are created equal. Some video games, such as those that involve sports or physical activity, can actually improve coordination. However, it is important to choose video games that are appropriate for your age and fitness level, and to make sure that you are not spending too much time playing video games.

Use the text of the opinion piece, "What's for Lunch," and your completed graphic organizer to answer the question below. Include evidence from the article to support your answer. Do you think this author has an agenda? If so, what is it? If not, what is the purpose of her article? Does she achieve her purpose?
What’s for Lunch?
Marcia Amidon Lusted
Zachary Maxwell was tired of trying to explain to his parents why he wanted to bring lunch to school instead of eating hot lunch. They couldn’t understand why he didn’t want to eat the gourmet food described on the school’s online menu, which sounded both nutritious and interesting. Zachary just couldn’t convince them that the food wasn’t as great as it sounded. So in the fall of 2011, he began sneaking a small video camera into the cafeteria at his school, to show his parents what the lunches were really like. Six months and 75 school lunches later, Zachary made a documentary film about his lunch called Yuck: A 4th Grader’s Short Documentary About School Lunch.
Truth in Advertising?
"The city’s Department of Education says that it’s committed to providing ‘delicious and nutritious meals’ through their food service program. But the lunch being served at my school was nothing like what they were advertising on their web site," Zachary, now 11, says in the documentary’s trailer. "I told [my parents] that’s not what they were actually serving me," he said. "But I don’t think they believed me." For example, an "oven-baked pizza bagel with tricolor salad" was really nothing more than a slice of pizza and a wisp of lettuce. Sometimes there was no connection between the menu and what Zachary actually got. "Cheesy lasagna rolls with tomato basil sauce, roasted spinach with garlic and herbs" was, in reality, just a plastic-wrapped grilled cheese sandwich, all alone on a foam plate.
"When I came back home and showed them the footage, they were like, ugh!" Zachary said. His dad, an amateur filmmaker, started helping Zachary transform his video footage into a film. It won several awards, and Zachary also made appearances on television shows like Good Morning America.
Not Perfect, But Better
Let’s face it: many times school lunches just aren’t going to taste as good as they sound. Students also complain that with lunches that follow the new school lunch guidelines, there just isn’t enough food. Smaller portions, more fruits and veggies, and fewer calories leave some kids, especially teenagers, still hungry after eating their lunch. A group of students in Kansas even wrote a music video called "We Are Hungry," where they sing about their stomachs growling after lunch and how they’re collapsing on the sports field because they haven’t eaten enough.
However, the new federal lunch guidelines do mandate meals that are better for students, with less sodium, more whole grains, fewer calories, and more fruits and vegetables, as well as skim or 1 percent milk. These are a definite improvement over school lunches of not that many years ago, which once stuck with fare like burgers, French fries, and chicken nuggets. Some schools even allowed fast food outlets like McDonald’s and Pizza Hut to operate mini-restaurants in their cafeterias, or supply their products for students. Many schools have also reconsidered vending machines filled with sugary sodas, candy, and chips, replacing them with water and healthy snacks.
Answer:
Yes, the author of this article has an agenda. Her goal is to raise awareness of the unhealthy and unsatisfactory food that is served in school cafeterias and encourage parents and schools to make a change. She provides evidence to back up her claims, such as Zachary's story and the Kansas student's music video. She also acknowledges the improvements that have been made, such as the new federal lunch guidelines and the replacement of unhealthy snacks with healthier options. By citing examples and providing evidence, she successfully demonstrates that better food options are needed in school cafeterias.

King: (Hard, cruel) So, Pythias! They tell me you do not approve of the laws I make.
Pythias: I am not alone, your majesty, in thinking your laws are cruel. But you rule the people with such an iron hand that they dare not complain.
King: (Angry) But you have the daring to complain for them! Have they appointed you their champion?
Pythias: No, your majesty. I speak for myself alone. I have no wish to make trouble for anyone. But I am not afraid to tell you that the people are suffering under your rule. They want to have a voice in making the laws for themselves. You do not allow them to speak up for themselves.
King: In other words, you are calling me a tyrant! Well, you shall learn for yourself how a tyrant treats a rebel! Soldier! Throw this man into prison!

A. "In other words, you are calling me a tyrant!"

'Tis darkest when the night is furthest worn.
Look up, and out, beyond, surrounding clouds,
And do not in thine own gross darkness grope,
Rise up, and casting off thy hind'ring shrouds,
Cling thou to this, and ever inspiring hope:
Tho' thick the battle and tho' fierce the fight,

Brian did not have problems fitting in his first year he was back in civilization. Why did his problems
start happening later on? Use an example from the text in your answer.
Book is "Brian's Return"
In the book "Brian's Return," Brian begins to experience difficulty in assimilation due to his lack of enthusiasm for the activities which, at one point in time, he previously found joy and meaning in.
How to explain the informationAs the novel progresses, it is evident that many of his past interests no longer inspire the same level of joy and admiration as before.
For instance, when his friend Derek invites him on a hunting excursion, an activity which would usually have filled him with enthusiasm, Brian instead reflects a sense of detachment from the event. His words portray this notion as he states, "I just couldn't get excited about it. It was similar to watching a film or reading a book, but without feeling as though I was actually a part of it." This occasion gives light to a notable disconnect between himself and things that previously held tremendous significance and, consequently, contributes to his struggles to adjust later on.
