You are Alice Walker. Explain the quote, No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
a friend stands by you and whats the best for you. and wants you to be the best person you can be. a person who demands your silence isnt a friend at all, that person wants you to fail at something sometimes this is called jealously. and denies your right to grow as a person and succeed in life.
You are Maya Angelou. In a presentation to students, recite your poem, Still I Rise, use anecdotes to explain its meaning.
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own backyard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
you may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise I rise I rise
it means that , never let people bring you down, know matter what culture you are stay strong and dont let others keep you from what you want in life. also how people hate on others achievemnets, its an awsome poem, when you feel worthless or unappreciated you can just think about this poem and it helps you feel better about yourself. she is experiencing pride in herself and not letting people bring her down just because shes a black women. That shes worthy and valuable than people know.

1. You are a gay teenager. Write in your journal a dialogue between you and your parents about your sexual identity.
I have something i need to tell you. Before you say anything I want you to know that this is the most difficult think i have ever had to say to anyone. I know you've always said that you would love me and accept me no matter what i chose to do, but i think this might be different. I want you to think about the fact that im still your child, and im no different then i was before, exept for the fact that im gay. Im still going to play sports, im still going to go to dance class, im still going to have dinner with you every night; there is no reason to see me any differently than you did. Now you know my secret. I hope you understand.
7. You are Alice Walker. Explain the quote, No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
No one can be a true friend to you, and not listen. If you have something important to say to them, and they wont listen to you and tell you to stop, its not being a friend. Not being able to talk to someone is not being able to let out who you are, and what that person is thinking and feeling, instead of what the person everyone else sees. If you are being ordered to stop being yourself because you cant let it out, you cant grow as a person. You get stuck in what everyone else wants you to be, and thats not fair.Other people are 'allowed' to be themselves, why not you?

This poem is about someone who wants to make something of themselves, and isnt afraid to be nothing but themself in the process. They are confident, proud, maybe even arrogant, and not afraid to be something different than what everyone else expected. This person feels as if they have been put here for a reason; as the light at the end of a tunnel for the people before them that went through a lot of pain and hate to pave the way for this person to be so stupendous, and give back the them in the only way they know how-to give respect, and be proud of who they are.

5. You are Betty Freidan. Give a speech to a group of husbands and fathers. Persuade them to encourage & empower women.
Gentlemen. women are human beings right? You are human beings right? Then why are women treated differently by you? They have the same ability as you to work, they have the same brains and can think just the same. There really is no reason for them to be told they cant work at the same places and get the same respect that you men do. If people continue to hold women back, they are going to fight back. They are going to leave you men and start their own lives without you. They need to feel like they are equals. Please. Treat them with the same respect they treat you and you will have a happy life.
4. You are the only female cadet in a military school. Write an editorial describing how equal opportunity benefits the whole. Equal opportunity benefits the whole because they should provide a certain social environment traits. in which people are not excluded from the activities of society, such as the military just because she is the only female cadet in military school, on the basis of immutable.
5.You are Betty Freidan. Give a speech to a group of husbands and fathers. Persuade them to encourage & empower women. I Betty Freidan will persuade you to encourage and empower women, whether you like it or not. Women should be able to do the same if not even more things than man can do and some may or not may not even do a better job at such tasks. We have the ability to strive for excellence and we will and we will come out on top. :)
6.You are a female anthropologist. Write an abstract for your new book on gender differences in rituals of different cultures. I study the behavior, and the physical, social, and cultural development of humans. For my new book on gender differences in rituals of different cultures I will discuss the different ceremonies performed by the women; the dances they go about doing and the hunts that young boys take in order to become men.
7. You are Alice Walker. Explain the quote, No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow. No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow", because if they were your friend, they would let you speak after all the U.S. Constitution gave us freedom of speech who not use it. On top of that they're not really a true friend if they don't let you put your two cents into a conversation regardless of what the conversation is about.
8. You are a soldier in the US Army. In a letter to your superiors, state your position on the dont ask, dont tell policy.
Unless one of the numerous exceptions from 10 U.S.C. 654(b) applies, the policy prohibits anyone who has sexual bodily or romantic contact with a person of the same sex from serving in the armed forces of the United States, and prohibits any homosexual or bisexual from disclosing his or her sexual orientation, or from speaking about any homosexual relationships, including marriages or other familial attributes, while serving in the United States armed forces.
Dear Superiors, My position on the 'dont ask, dont tell policy is that it's not just. Regardless of what sexual orientation someone is you shouldn't hold them from having a position in the armed forces. Although, the policy also requires that as long as gay or bisexual men and women in the military hide their sexual orientation, commanders are not allowed to investigate their sexuality.
9. You are a suffragist in 1919. Predict, in a speech to female college students how gender relations will change in 100 years. In the next century I believe that we will indeed be able to vote; maybe in the next year. I hope that the Constitution of the United States adds a Nineteenth Amendment guaranteeing that no state could deny the right to vote on the basis of sex.

This poem I believe is about, someone who will try at nothing to make something out of themselves and be themselves while they're trying to achieve it. You just have to remain strong while trying to succeed at doing something in life and never give up. You should never lower your standards to someone elses because they think they're better than you and always try your hardest.
7. You are Alice Walker. Explain the quote, No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow means that you shouldnt allow others treat you as if you were unimportant or want you to be something that you are not. If someone is trying to mold you to be what they see is best for you they only doing it for themselves, not you. Dont follow them be who you are and be proud of yourself and find people who are more than happy to accept that.
8. You are a soldier in the US Army. In a letter to your superiors, state your position on the dont ask, dont tell policy.
To whom it may concern, I may writing to you to express my feelings on the current dont ask, dont tell policy. I feel that it is wrong to force someone to lie about who they are if they want to serve and fight for the country they love. What difference does it make if they are gay or straight. They are fighting for America, they risking their lives and the Army wont even allow them to be honest about who they are. The fact that we say we will tolerate gays in the military as long as we dont know who they are is appalling. That leaves these men and women in fear that if it is found out that they are gay or lesbian then they will be discharged and left with nothing. I honestly feel that this policy should be seriously reconsidered because when there is a war and we have people dying, does it truly matter if the men and women on our side, fighting with us, are gay or straight?
9. You are a suffragist in 1919. Predict, in a speech to female college students how gender relations will change in 100 years.
Ladies, today we are fighting for our rights, our right to be true American citizens, our right to vote. Things will change soon, we will get the vote. From there on things will only get better for future gernerations of women, it will take a lot of work but we will prevail. There is no reason why we will not have the rights that every American citizen should enjoy. You yourselves are living examples of how far we have come. Your grandmothers could never have even imagined having the opportunities you have, the opportunity to receive a college education. One hundred years from now the women that follow you will look back and see how far they have come. They will be able to work outside of the home with no question of their place in society. They will earn equal wages to men and they will even be equal citizens. They will run for office, become governors, senators, maybe even president. They will be able to accomplish so much and they will have you to thank for it. Without you who would have paved the way? Once we get the vote and I know we will, they will have us to thank because how else can you run for office without first being able to vote yourself? We have accomplished a lot and there is more to come, someday generations will look back on us and wonder where generations after them will go from where they are.
9. Bush Advisor: President Bush believes that marriage is strictly between a man and woman. He does favor an amendment banning any same sex couple to be wed. He feels that gay rights activists have no right to just now redefine the meaning of marriage,
