Read the passage below. First, identify Pepper's motivation in this passage and explain how his motivation causes conflict for Iggy. Then, explain how Iggy's response to the conflict helps to move the story forward.


Every year, each class at Davis Middle School elects a class representative to participate in important school events. Iggy has been his class rep for the last two years. He takes the responsibility seriously and wants to keep the job, but he also feels guilty no one else has had a chance, so he's pretty sure he won't run again. Then it is announced that the class rep will get to meet action star Bud Delum, and Pepper, the meanest kid in school, suddenly becomes interested in the job. Pepper knows he'd be a terrible representative, but Bud Delum is his hero. And with Iggy stepping down, he'll cruise to victory. Iggy can't stand for a bad representative to take office, so he pushes his guilt aside and reenters the election, winning by a landslide. As his first act as representative, Iggy asks Pepper to take his place at the event with Bud Delum, helping Pepper understand what it means to be kind to others.

PLEASE BE SERIOUS I REALLY NEED HELP WITH THIS I'll mark as brainlyiest if you help with a good answer just please, please, pleaseee help me here The Tell-Tale Heart By Edgar Allen Poe Claim: The storyteller believes that he is not crazy although he is. From the beginning, the narrator was attempting to convince the reader that he was not crazy although he was bothered over his neighbor's eye. The pace of the story-line began from the narrator admitting how he had a bad feeling whenever the old man's vulture eye looked at the narrator but didn't think that the narrator was crazy over it. Soon enough throughout the story, the narrator was driven crazy over the vulture looking eye from the old man and decided to kill the old man. Although from the reader's perspective it seems to look like the narrator was crazy, the narrator did not think so. The narrator had planned very meticulously over the thought of killing the old man and acted out on it. Once the deed was done, the police came by to check because a neighbor reported suspicious activity by the old man's home. The narrator let the police in the house search it and the narrator had explained how the old man was gone to visit a friend out in the country and the police believed him. But the narrator's guilt got to him and put him on edge. He behaved more and more suspicious and finally let a cry out of admitting to killing the man because the narrator thought the policemen were on to him. The way that the mood affected me was that the narrator had begun to admit that he was a normal person, perfectly fine. But once the narrator put out the exposition it started to give out the expression that he was crazy and him denying that he wasn't crazy made the narrator even more suspicious. To conclude my claim, I see that narrator is genuinely crazy and that even though he convinced his self and attempted to prove the reader he wasn't crazy, in the end, he was.

20 point!!! Muhammad Ali: Agent for Social Change

A modern painting of Muhammad Ali in boxing gloves in front of an American flag.
“I done wrestled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale, handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail; only last week I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick. I’m so mean I make medicine sick.” —Muhammad Ali
Muhammad Ali was an all-time great boxer and entertainer. He was a three-time world heavyweight champion, an Olympic gold medallist, and as masterful approaching a microphone as he was in the ring. Later in life, he was made a United Nations Messenger of Peace, and awarded the United States Presidential Medal of Freedom.
He’s widely celebrated today, but that wasn’t always true during his boxing career. Ali was a confident, capable, Black Muslim athlete who was unafraid to speak his mind and stand up for his ideals. That made him very unpopular with a lot of people in 1960s America.
Ali once said, “I am America. I am the part you won’t recognize. But get used to me. Black; confident; cocky; my name, not yours. My religion, not yours; my goals, my own. Get used to me.”
Born Cassius Clay in Louisville, Kentucky in 1942, he changed his name when he became a Muslim. He explained that “Cassius Clay is a slave name. I didn't choose it and I don't want it. I am Muhammad Ali, a free name—it means beloved of God, and I insist people use it when people speak to me and of me.”
In 1966, Ali was at the height of his success as a boxer. At the same time, the US was fighting a war in Vietnam. The government was drafting young men to fight, which meant they had to join the Armed Forces when called. Refusing without an officially allowed reason was illegal. Ali was drafted, but refused anyway. He said he wouldn’t fight in Vietnam because it was against his religion and because Black people in America were still "treated like dogs and denied simple human rights”.
Most Americans supported the Vietnam war at that time, and some thought Ali was a traitor. TV host David Susskind called him “a disgrace to his country, his race, and what he laughingly describes as his profession”. Ali was stripped of his heavyweight title, disqualified from fighting, and given a $10,000 fine and a prison sentence. But to many, he was a hero. Civil rights leader Reverend Al Sharpton said, “he knew he was going to jail and did it anyway. That's another level of leadership and sacrifice”.
By resisting injustice and inequality, and by never apologizing for who he was, Muhammad Ali inspired countless people—especially Black Americans and athletes. Basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said, “Ali's impact on young people was very formidable . . . The fact that he was proud to be a Black man, and that he had so much talent . . . made certain people love him and made other people think that he was dangerous. But, for those very reasons, that's why I enjoyed him.”
Ali returned to boxing in 1971 and won back his heavyweight title in 1974. After retiring in 1981, he invested much of his time into supporting different causes. In 1984, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, and raised money for research into the disease. He traveled the world bringing food and medicine to poor countries. He also contributed his energies to many different charities, including the Special Olympics, and the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
Throughout his life, Ali set the standard for being true to yourself and fighting for what you believe is right. Or, in his own words, “I know where I’m going and I know the truth, and I don’t have to be what you want me to be. I’m free to be what I want.”
