Giddy-up, cowboys and girls! In the Southwest during early half of the 1800s, cows were only worth 2 or 3 dollars apiece. They roamed wild, grazed off the open range, and were abundant. Midway through the century though, railroads were built, and the nation was connected. People in the Southwest could suddenly ship cows in freight trains to the Northeast. The Yankees there had a growing taste for beef and were willing to pay for it. Out of the blue, the same cows that were once worth a couple of bucks were now worth between twenty and forty dollars each. The only problem was that they had to get these cows to the train station. A new profession emerged from this. It became lucrative to wrangle up a drove of cattle and herd them to the nearest train town. Of course, it was dangerous too. Cowboys were threatened at every turn. They faced cattle rustlers, stampedes and extreme weather. But they kept pushing those steers to the train station. By the turn of the century, barbed wire killed the open range. Some may say the cowboy, too, was killed by barbed wire. Maybe, but it was the train that birthed them. Can someone help me get the main idea?

analyze tone and syntax "With flying fingers, he wove a rough carpet of weeds and branches, and with it, he covered the mouth of the pit. Then, wet with sweat and aching with tiredness, he crouched behind the stump of a lightning-charred tree. He knew his pursuer was coming; he heard the padding sound of feet on the soft earth, and the night breeze brought him the perfume of the general’s cigarette. It seemed to Rainsford that the general was coming with unusual swiftness; he was not feeling his way along, foot by foot. Rainsford, crouching there, could not see the general, nor could he see the pit. He lived a year in a minute." Pg. 72
Answer and Explanation:
The text shown above presents a suspense tone, as it narrates a moment of learning where Rainford could be found and killed by the general at any time. This suspense is evidenced by the syntactic structure that the author decided to present in the text.
This is because the syntax refers to the construction of sentences with the correct use of words that are positioned in a logical way to represent a feeling for the reader.
The syntax of the text above, can convey fear and apprehension, because it uses words that make the reader perceive the general approaching his prey more and more, making the text totally unpredictable and exciting.

Choose one of the elements of literature, listed below. In the space below, write an essay of at least 500 words comparing and contrasting a literary element in "Sixteen" by Maureen Daly and "Through the Tunnel" by Doris Lessing. Elements of Literature tone theme setting character plot point of View conflict When you have finished proofreading your essay, submit it to one of your peers for peer review. Make sure you use the rubric in order to complete your evaluation.
Answer:
Throughout each story, the characters try to prove something to themselves or other people. In Maureen Daly's short story "Sixteen" the narrator is clearly trying to prove to the reader that she is smart and popular. A very clear example of this occurs at the beginning of the story when the narrator is describing herself. Daly writes, "I mean, I want you to understand from the beginning that I'm not really so dumb. I know what a girl should do and what she shouldn't. I get around." When she says, "I want you to understand," she is clearly directing the statement at us, the reader. As she goes on to say that she is not really that dumb, her message clearly becomes an attempt to convince us that she is smart. Finally, when she says, "I get around," it appears as though she is trying to tell the reader that she is popular. Combining what has just been learned from the narrator's statements, She is trying to prove to someone her ethos: that she is smart enough and popular enough to be telling us a story about a boy.

In at least one hundred words, discuss Orwell’s use of foreshadowing in Animal Farm. Use instances from the text to support your answer.
Answer:
Animal Farm makes heavy use of foreshadowing. Most of the plot’s main events are foreshadowed in the opening chapter. This foreshadowing emphasizes the inevitability of what happens, suggesting that violent revolution is doomed to fail, and that power always corrupts. Animal Farm’s foreshadowing also serves to place particular emphasis on the events Orwell saw as central to the failure of the Russian Revolution, and revolutions generally. The events most heavily foreshadowed are the different stages of the farm’s collapse into violence. Boxer’s death is foreshadowed in Chapter 7, when Napoleon’s dogs “go quite mad” and attack Boxer. Although Boxer is unharmed, this incident foreshadows Napoleon’s decision to have Boxer killed. Boxer’s death is also foreshadowed by the novella’s many references to the pasture that will be set apart for retired animals. As the pigs’ treachery unfolds, it becomes clear to the reader that the retirement pasture will never exist. As a result, every reference to Boxer’s retirement becomes an ironic foreshadowing of his betrayal and death. When Boxer himself looks forward to retiring, he is unwittingly foreshadowing that Napoleon will betray him, which emphasizes the cruelty of Napoleon’s deception.
