PLEASE HELP ME: Story- Adriana Gonzalez is finally turning 15. “I can’t wait to have my quinceañera!” she said as she excitedly told all her friends about the big party she was planning.
Adriana and her mom had already picked out a beautiful, flowing white dress for her quinceañera. It had a full skirt and a train. “I feel like Cinderella in this dress, Mommy,” she had whispered in the store the first time she tried it on.
Adriana’s mother’s eyes had lit up when she saw Adriana in the mirror. “Oh mija, my daughter! You have grown into such a beautiful young woman, right before my very eyes,” she said with tears in her eyes, before turning to the shop keeper. “We’ll take the dress.”
“The best part is, you all get to participate in the party too,” Adriana told her friends. “You ladies get to be on my court. You will wear beautiful dresses, too, and have escorts,” she said. “We’ll all dance a big waltz.”
The girls chattered eagerly about the party the rest of the day. Each already knew who she wanted her escort to be for the quinceañera. When she got home, Adriana found out her parents had invited family members from out of town to come for the occasion. “You can invite people from school too,” her mom said.
When they went to pick up decorations for the party with her padrinos, or god parents, Adriana got to pick out whatever she wanted. “We just want you to be happy and enjoy your special night,” her dad said. Adriana was the happiest she had ever been. Her 15th was going to be the best birthday ever!

In just over one hundred years, between 1701 and 1810, 252,500 enslaved africans were brought to barbados—an island that occupies only 166 square miles (making it, today, one of the smallest countries in the world). the english then set out to conquer more sugar islands, starting with jamaica, which they took from spain in 1655. in the same period that the 252,500 africans were brought to barbados, 662,400 africans were taken to jamaica. thus, sugar drove more than 900,000 people into slavery, across the atlantic, to barbados and jamaica—and these were just two of the sugar islands. the english were eagerly filling antigua, nevis, saint kitts, and montserrat with slaves and sugar mills. they took over much of dutch guiana for the same reason. seeing the fortunes being made in sugar, the french started their own scramble to turn the half of the island of hispaniola that they controlled (which is now haiti), as well as martinique, guadeloupe, and french guiana (along the south american coast near dutch guiana), into their own sugar colonies, which were filled with hundreds of thousands more african slaves. by 1753, british ships were taking average of 34,250 slaves from africa every year, and by 1768, that number had reached 53,100. –sugar changed the world, marc aronson and marina budhos how do the authors use historical evidence to support their claim? x(a) they use secondary sources to show how french and english monarchs were indifferent to enslaved people. x(b)they use secondary sources to show that enslaved people often fought for their freedom after arriving in the caribbean. the answer is: (c)they use facts from primary sources to show how countries increased the number of enslaved people to produce more sugar. x(d)they use primary source interviews to show that countries could make more money in trading sugar without using enslaved people.

Which lines in this excerpt from act ii of william shakespeare’s romeo and juliet reveal that mercutio thinks romeo would be better off if he stopped thinking about love? mercutio: i will bite thee by the ear for that jest. romeo: nay, good goose, bite not. mercutio: thy wit is a very bitter sweeting it is a most sharp sauce. romeo: and is it not well served in to a sweet goose? mercutio: o here's a wit of cheveril, that stretches from an inch narrow to an ell broad! romeo: i stretch it out for that word 'broad; ' which added to the goose, proves thee far and wide a broad goose. mercutio: why, is not this better now than groaning for love? now art thou sociable, now art thou romeo; now art thou what thou art, by art as well as by nature: for this drivelling love is like a great natural, that runs lolling up and down to hide his bauble in a hole. benvolio: stop there, stop there. mercutio: thou desirest me to stop in my tale against the hair. benvolio: thou wouldst else have made thy tale large. mercutio: o, thou art deceived; i would have made it short: for i was come to the whole depth of my tale; and meant, indeed, to occupy the argument no longer.
