Literacy

Lakshadweep

If children were writing to their father, Dear Sir or Honored Sir would most likely be important to start the letter. the letter closing was probably closed "With great respect,"

Or "Dutiful father".

After writing the letter they would sprinkle sand to dry the wet ink. But they would also put wax on the folded letter since there were no envelopes and there was no other way to secure the letter.

Poll taxes and Literacy laws were two of the primary ways that some states kept minorities from voting. Poll taxes were set to a point that would not be difficult for White people to afford, but Very difficult for Minorities. White voters would be given something simple to read, and minorities would be given bits of Shakespeare.

Many states removed them voluntarily as they saw the way the mood of the country was moving, and as State Legislatures became more enlightened. However, for those states that did not, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ended the practices everywhere for good.

The Twenty Fourth Amendment, ratified in 1964, outlawed poll taxes. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was the law that outlawed literacy tests.

Robert's rules of Parliament

Education is empowerment. A slave who could read, might not only question the right of his owners to consider him property, but he might use those existing laws against that owner. And what about the declaration that "All men are created equal" An educated slave would have been far too much trouble in those days.

Literacy in the United States is about 85% of the population.

The statue was created in the time Octavian Augustus was emperor. A primary source is direct evidence from people who lived in that time period. In this case the direct evidence is a statue and it is the history of a person. The statue is direct evidence so it is a primary source.

The correct answer is: Phonetic

Phonetics is part of the science of vocal sounds, and explains the correspondence of sounds with symbols. A Phonetic word is one that sounds like it is spelled, such as: bed, pent.

There is an international phonetic alphabet that standardises certain symbols used to describe the sounds of words and letters.

Onomatopoeia is merely a word that describes a sound, such as: woof, purr, bark (as in dog), 'cough'.

The City of Wasilla derives its name from Chief Wasilla, a respected local Dena'ina Athabascan Indian Chief. There is some debate about the meaning of the Chief's name. One source claims it means "breath of air" in the Dena'ina Athabascan Indian dialect. Other sources assert the name descended as a variation of the Russian name "Vasili" meaning "William". Before Anchorage was established, the settlement of Knik had served as the transport and supply hub for the region since the 1880's. With the founding of Anchorage in 1915 and the concurrent building of the Alaska Railroad as an overland supply link to Fairbanks and interior Alaska, the end was in sight for Knik. By 1917 Knik was eclipsed by the new town of Wasilla which sprang up that year after a government land auction at the point where the Alaska Railroad crossed the main supply route (the Carl Wagon Trail) for the mines in the Willow Creek Mining District now the intersection of the George Parks Highway and Main Street. The location of Wasilla also provided a better supply staging point for the Kantishna Gold Mining area near Mount McKinley and mines in the Talkeetna area. While placer (hydraulic) and hard rock gold mining had been underway in the Willow Creek Mining District since 1907, Wasilla prospered from its founding the 1917 until 1940 as the self proclaimed, "Gateway to the Willow Creek Mining District". With the exception of the latter part of WWII this was a very active mining area between 1909 and 1950. Incomplete records indicate at least 623,874 ounces of gold worth nearly $18 million dollars were produced at a time when gold was valued between 20-35 dollars an ounce. Over the years at least 50 mines and prospects have operated in this area and at the current time there are still a few active. During the Great Depression of the 1930s the federal government formed the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corporation to set up the Matanuska Colony for the agricultural development of Alaska. This influx of 200 farming families and supporting services meant that from 1935 until the 1960s, instead of Wasilla, the town of Palmer gradually became the primary supply and service center for this region. Palmer remained the regional commercial center until a new Glenn Highway bypassed Palmer allowing more direct travel from Wasilla to Anchorage. The subsequent development of the new George Parks Highway to Fairbanks (through Wasilla) in the early 1970s opened opportunities for the first wave of "suburbanite" settlement. This meant that with ever improving roads and business opportunities Wasilla shifted from a small town and weekend destination for people from Anchorage to a hometown for workers in Anchorage and Wasilla. Wasilla was incorporated in 1973. The current city resident population is 7,028 with a conservatively estimated population of more than 80,000 adjacent Borough residents who patronize the Wasilla business and commercial center. In Wasilla, major growth resulted from the 1970s and 80s Alaska oil boom and pipeline development and by 1984 Wasilla had again become the commercial heart of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough and for a time was the fastest growing city of its size in the United States. By the end of 2007, the City of Wasilla had 1,818 businesses registered with the Department of Finance, Sales Tax Division.

The study of Science is the urge to know the reason, why we are all here, how the the world works, basically the answer to the word "why" , whereas the study of literature is the beautiful application of words in a sentence, prose or poetry and their interpretation as according to the author, basically it is the study of the use of words and their meaning or the art that deals with their use!
