Answer:

Sometimes people use violent means to resolve issues.
Poverty can lead people to do desperate things

Explanation:

THis excerpt refers to The Man Who was Almost a Man :

In this short story Dave Saunders is caught in a world that strips him of his own and financial power. Dave sees his life as a progression of maltreatment and embarrassments: he's compelled to comply with his folks, fill in as a field hand for pay he never gets, and continue ribbing from the other field laborers. His developing feeling of debasement gets from the social and financial powers that shield him from accomplishing his potential and seeking after his fantasies. Owning a weapon along these lines turns into Dave's outlet, an approach to rapidly turn out to be amazing and masculine. He trusts that a gun in his grasp will give him more command over others; notwithstanding, Jenny's demise just restricts his future by constraining him to reimburse Mr. Hawkins the cost of the donkey. Albeit inadvertent, Jenny's passing could be translated as Dave's oblivious want to strike out against Mr. Hawkins. By wrecking an image of Hawkins' success and power as a landowner, Dave might lash out at a financial framework and social request that he will dependably be rejected from just in light of his skin shading.

Where is the colosseum?

Alchen [17]

Italian name: Colosseo

The Roman Colosseum or Coliseum, originally known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, was commisioned in AD 72 by Emperor Vespasian. It was completed by his son, Titus, in 80, with later improvements by Domitian.
The Colosseum is located just east of the Roman Forum and was built to a practical design, with its 80 arched entrances allowing easy access to 55,000 spectators, who were seated according to rank. The Coliseum is huge, an ellipse 188m long and 156 wide. Originally 240 masts were attached to stone corbels on the 4th level.

Just outside the Coliseum is theArch of Constantine (Arco di Costantino), a 25m high monument built in AD315 to mark the victory of Constantine over Maxentius at Pons Milvius.

Vespesian ordered the Colosseum to be build on the site of Nero's palace, the Domus Aurea, to dissociate himself from the hated tyrant.
His aim was to gain popularity by staging deadly combats of gladiators and wild animal fights for public viewing. Massacre was on a huge scale: at inaugural games in AD 80, over 9,000 wild animals were killed.

As far as i understand it can be any random person. At least explain what each question is asking for or what it means

nasty-shy [4]

For question 1 they are just asking to describe how the person looks. For example if I were describe Elsa I would say: She has bleach blonde hair that is in a French braid. She wears a elegant light blue dress that flows each step she takes. They want you to also underline the details.

For question 2 they want you to describe the person using the five senses. For example: Her skin is cold like winter but smooth. Her hair is soft and is has waves like the ocean. They want you to underline one sense and bold the other.

For question 3 they want you to use a metaphor to describe the person and/or compare them to something. For example: She is like a storm in the winter, cold, reckless, and never gives up. They want you to also underline the comparison.

For question 4 they want you to write an alliteration for this person. For example: She sings, the sound of her voice spreads, so soft, so sweet, oh so lovely. Also underline the letter that form the alliterative.

For question 5 they want you to write a three-sentence paragraph, so a paragraph with three sentences describing the person. You do have to make sure it has a little rhythm to it, like a poem. For example: Blonde hair, blue eyes, recklessness seems to live inside. Sweet voice spreads wild, confidence she wears like a dress. Cold skin but soft to the touch, her love is oh so much.

There you go! I really hope this helps! ;)))
