"so there's more than just playing," he said. "i wish it meant only hits, runs, and errors – only the things they put in the box score. because you know – yes, you would know, robinson, that a baseball box score is a democratic thing. it doesn't tell how big you are, what church you attend, what color you are, or how your father voted in the last election. it just tells what kind of baseball player you were on that particular day."
i interrupted. "but it's the box score that really counts – that and that alone, isn't it? "
"it's all that ought to count," he replied. "but it isn't. maybe one of these days it will be all that counts. that is one of the reasons i've got you here, robinson. if you're a good enough man, we can make this a start in the right direction. but let me tell you, it's going to take an awful lot of courage."
based on the passage, write one or two sentences explaining jackie robinson’s main purpose for writing i never had it made.

Why it's time to lay the stereotype of the 'teen brain’ to rest 2. part b: which detail from the text best supports the answer to part a? a “brain deficits don’t make teens do risky things; lack of experience and a drive to explore the world are the real factors.” (paragraph 1) b “according to this theory, the prefrontal cortex, the center of the brain’s cognitive-control system, matures more slowly than the limbic system, which governs desires and appetites including drives for food and sex.” (paragraph 5) c “in experiments that mimic the well-known marshmallow test, in which waiting for a bigger reward is a sign of self-control, adolescents are less impulsive than children and only slightly more so than adults.” (paragraph 12) d “the majority of adolescents do not die in car crashes, become victims of homicide or suicide, experience major depression, become addicted to drugs or contract sexually transmitted infections.” (paragraph 14)
