You have asked a lot of questions in your post. I will answer the first question you asked.


The Cold War was a period of confrontations and competitions between the United States and the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union wanted to spread the system of communism, and we wanted to prevent it from spreading.


We worked to stop the spread of communism in many places. We developed the European Recovery Program to provide aid to countries that were trying to prevent communism from spreading. For example, we gave aid to Greece and Turkey, and neither country became communist. We helped the people of West Berlin when the Soviet Union established the Berlin Blockade. We developed the Berlin Airlift to fly supplies into West Berlin until the blockade was lifted. We went to the United Nations to help South Korea fight the invasion by North Korea in June 1950. With the United States in the lead, South Korea remained noncommunist.


Another area of competition between the United States and the Soviet Union was to be the first country to accomplish certain things with their space program. The Soviet Union was the first to launch a satellite into space. They also were the first country to get an astronaut in orbit around the earth. The United States was the first country to land an astronaut on the moon.


From the end of World War II until 1991, the United States and the Soviet Union were involved in the Cold War.

What is the meaning of "juggling fiends" in Macbeth?

Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a...

This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a sense of guilt, and that man tells him: Despair thy charm. And let the angel whom thou still hast serve...

Discuss movements that were inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and list one success for each group.

African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield. After the war, African-Americans properly felt it was time for them to achieve equality with white Americans. During the 1950's, the modern Civil Rights Movement was born and it had a number of successes (integration of the military and Brown vs. Board of Education as examples.) This success inspired other activists to demand change... African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield.

In Martel's Life of Pi, how does writing a diary help Pi Patel build on his leadership skills?

At the end of chapter 73, Pi first divulges the fact that he had started a diary after about a week alone at sea. Pi claims that he wrote about "practical stuff" (208) such as what he caught for food, foreseeable problems and solutions, Richard Parker, and reflections about specific events that occurred. In a sense, Pi is the captain of his ship; therefore, he must take responsibility for himself and his crew. He can...

In a sense, Pi is the captain of his ship; therefore, he must take responsibility for himself and his crew. He can do this by writing down events, problems and solutions, and reflections to look back on when confronted with repeated problems. It can ...
