donald trump<\/strong>‘s campaign for president and the first month of his presidency have exposed<\/strong><\/em> (shown), exploited<\/strong><\/em> (taken advantage of ) and emboldened<\/em> <\/strong>(stimulated, strengthened) some of the horrible, xenophobic attitudes that still exist in the united states.<\/p>\n

does this willy wonka quote from the \u00a0movie charlie and the chocolate factory<\/strong> apply to what amanda moore did? (weary means really tired)<\/em><\/h6>\n

so it was reassuring<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(providing hope) to read this article<\/a>\u00a0by anabel mu\u00f1oz<\/strong> from earlier this academic year about amanda moore<\/strong>, a school\u00a0girl trying to make a new kid in her classroom feel comfortable despite a language barrier<\/strong><\/em> (obstacle).<\/p>\n

rocky iv might be the hokiest<\/u>\u00a0of all the rocky movies.<\/em><\/h6>\n

granted<\/a>, the coverage\u00a0by the local abc news affiliate in temecula, california was hokey<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0as hell (excessively sentimental). it made\u00a0me wonder\u00a0if this spontaneous act of kindness was orchestrated– a\u00a0fake<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>(invented).\u00a0u can judge for yourself how authentic\/cheesy<\/a>\u00a0this\u00a0feel good<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(tries to make everybody happy) story is.<\/p>\n

diana ross performing reach out<\/u> and touch somebody’s hand<\/strong> in central park in new york city is not only a musical example of reach out, it’s another perfect\u00a0example\u00a0of hokey<\/u><\/strong>.<\/em><\/h6>\n

mu\u00f1oz\u00a0explains<\/p>\n

amanda moore does not speak spanish but she didn’t let that stop her from reaching out<\/em> to a new classmate at paloma elementary who doesn’t speak english.<\/h4>\n

reach out<\/strong><\/em><\/a> means she made an effort to communicate<\/em> with her classmate. why did amanda reach out<\/em>?<\/p>\n

the 10-year-old<\/em> girl noticed her new classmate seemed to be lonely<\/em><\/strong> and sitting by himself.<\/h4>\n

amanda moore is 10 years<\/u> old<\/em>. \u00a0when presenting a quantity, the measure<\/a> (years<\/u>\u00a0in this case) is plural. \u00a0but when the quantity becomes an adjective phrase, (10-year<\/u>-old<\/em>)<\/strong> the measure is singular. \u00a0lonely<\/strong> <\/em>means without anyone<\/em> and sad<\/em>. \u00a0this new track by martin garrix<\/strong> and dua lipa<\/strong> portrays a relationship that continues because the couple are afraid to be lonely.<\/em><\/p>\n
