Based on this detail, Piggy can be described as whiny.
His whininess is just one of the reasons that the boys neither respect nor listen to Piggy. HE complains the boys are acting like children, which, of course, they are. His whininess contributes to Piggy being an outsider, along with his glasses, weight, and asthma.

Question
Please Help! Read this sentence that appears in the first half of the article “5 Held in a Plot to Bug Democrats’ Office Here”: In Court yesterday, one suspect said the men were "anti-Communists" and the others nodded agreement. How does this sentence help develop the main idea of this article?
A. It reinforces the burglars’ connections to Cuba, a Communist country.
B. It proves that the burglars were crazy.
C. It supports the idea that the burglary was related to politics.
D. It demonstrates that the burglars were all working together as a team.
Solution 1
The correct answer is C. It supports the idea that the burglary was related to politics.
Indeed, the article is about the crime of breaking and entering into the Democratic Party’s offices located in the Watergate Building, by five individuals hired by important members of the Nixon administration and the Republican Party. This context helps interpret their motives and prosecutors surely knew the crime was politically motivated. However, this particular piece of testimony from one of the defendants proves the political motivations of the crime. Nixon pretended initially that this was a common burglary, this statement proves him wrong.
Republican have always been staunch anti-communists/leftists and they have always accused Democrats of being “commie sympathizers”. This type of discourse proves the political affiliation of the burglars.
Solution 2
C) The burglars were politics related. I didn't read the article, but this is probably most related to Nixon's Watergate scandal.
A is incorrect because they are anti-communist, so wouldn't support Cuba.
B is a logical fallacy and completely unrelated to the article.
D is wrong for obvious reasons: teamwork isn't the main idea of the article.
A is incorrect because they are anti-communist, so wouldn't support Cuba.

Question
Does LeGuin draw any explicit contrasts between Omelas and any other place?
Solution 1
Yes, LeGuin does make explicit contrasts between Omelas and other places.
While she does not explicitly name another place, she does compare the people of Omelas to "us." In this way, she contrasts Omelas with the rest of the world.
She says that they were happy, but not simple. She says that we have a "bad habit" of equating happiness and stupidity. For these people, however, they were both happy and intelligent.
Furthermore, LeGuin explains that unlike other nations, the people of Omelas do not have a monarchy, slavery, a stock exchange, etc. Here, she compares their society to much of our world.

Question
What is the likely purpose of the following paragraphs from a speech? We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too. It is for these reasons that I regard the decision last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important decisions that will be made during my incumbency in the office of the Presidency. (from the speech "We Choose to Go to the Moon" by John F. Kennedy) to inspire the audience to overcome challenges
to explain the purpose of a space program
to explain the speaker's plans as the president
to retaliate against claims of overspending
Solution 1

Solution 1
When Jack, Maurice, and Roger raid the shelter at night, Ralph and Eric end up fighting in the dark.
In the morning, Ralph and Eric see they were actually fighting each other. This of course symbolizes the conflict as a whole -- throughout the novel, the boys fight each other and make their situation even worse.

Question
. . . I was so determined not to try, not to be anybody different that I learned to play only the most ear-splitting preludes, the most discordant hymns. . . . For the talent show, I was to play a piece called "Pleading Child" from Schumann's Scenes from Childhood. It was a simple, moody piece that sounded more difficult than it was. I was supposed to memorize the whole thing, playing the repeat parts twice to make the piece sound longer. But I dawdled over it, playing a few bars and then cheating, looking up to see what notes followed. I never really listened to what I was playing. I daydreamed about being somewhere else, about being someone else. What does the narration in the excerpts reveal about Jing-mei's character? The song is much too difficult for Jing-mei, so she cannot concentrate no matter what she does. She thinks the talent show is a big joke and is not willing to work for it. She is trying her best, but she keeps getting distracted by her own imagination. She believes she cannot succeed even if she tries, so she doesn't bother to try.
Solution 1
She believes she cannot succeed even if she tries, so she doesn't bother to try.
She doesn't want to stand out, to be different or a prodigy, so she just doesn't practice at all. She daydreams and cheats instead of actually learning how to read the music and play the right notes.
