Voting rights in the United States: Do potential voter ID laws improve voting fairness or restrict the right to vote?

Gun rights in the United States: Does abiding by the Second Amendment mean gun restrictions are illegal, or should the government limit civilian ownership of modern weapons that the founding fathers couldn’t imagine over 200 years ago?

Public education in the United States: Does the current system of funding public education primarily through local property taxes enhance community ownership of education or cause a tiered system of successful and failing schools based on the value of local property?

Immigration in the United States: Should the US federal government allow amnesty for illegal immigrants in the country, provide a system for earning citizenship (such as US military service or being in a provisionary time period that allows immigrants to earn citizenship), or deport all the immigrants currently here? Why?

in the short story the slip-over sweater by jesse stuart, the main character and narrator shan is friends with grace, an intelligent girl he has known since childhood and with whom he used to be in love.

at the beginning of the story, shan believes he’s no longer in love with grace, but loves jo-anne instead. in order to buy a slip-over sweater and have jo-anne wear it so that the other students would know she loved him too, shan takes a loan at the bank.

while jo-anne is wearing shan’s sweater, his friend grace starts to wear another popular boy’s one, roy’s sweater. because of that, the other students begin to pay attention to grace and compliment her perseverance and effort. they admire her for walking 5 miles to school every day, despite the weather, and still getting the best grades. shan, who knows all of that for a fact, says, as the narrator, ‘and i knew she had the durability and the toughness of a storm-battered mountain oak.’ he compares his friend’s strength – not only physical, but also of character – to an oak tree, whose wood is known for being sturdy.

as the story goes on, shan changes his behavior out of concern for the debt he has to pay at the bank. his new girlfriend jo-anne never asks him what is wrong nor offers any sort of . instead, she breaks up with shan for not being as fun as she thought he was supposed to be. grace, however, not only asks about shan’s problem, but him make the money he needs. shan can’t but notice how different the girls are and what a wonderful person grace is.   even though he used to find jo-anne prettier at the beginning of the story, he now says, ‘grace was as beautiful as our mountain was in april, prettier than a blossom of wild phlox or a mountain daisy.’ his comparing grace to a mountain or something that exists on a mountain (such as a mountain oak or daisy) certainly has important meaning since shan loves the mountain and everything about it and he knows the mountain thoroughly. shan also loves and knows grace as completely as he does the mountain.

because people think they know everything well here is the truth they don't so yeah they try with what they have and they don't care if it's wrong or not some people do care but others don't hope this plz make me brainliest
