Answer:
Just read the passage!
Explanation:
Lucas is given the paragraph below to read and paraphrase.
Achilles, a powerful Greek warrior, was thought to be immortal because he had been submerged in the River Styx during infancy. However, because his mother dipped him into the water while holding his heel, he was left vulnerable in that small spot. Today “Achilles’ heel” refers to a weakness that can lead to downfall.
Which is the best paraphrase of the paragraph?
A - Because he was dipped in the River Styx, Achilles was thought to be immortal. Unfortunately his mother held him by the heel, and he was weak in that area. An “Achilles’ heel” is a weakness that can lead to downfall.
B - “Achilles’ heel” is a term used to describe a weak spot. The phrase comes from the story of a Greek soldier who was thought to be unbeatable—but was actually vulnerable.
C - Today the phrase “Achilles’ heel” refers to a weakness that can lead to downfall. This refers to the story of a powerful Greek warrior who had been submerged in the River Styx during childhood.
D - The article says, “Achilles, a powerful Greek warrior, was thought to be immortal because he had been submerged in the River Styx during infancy.” It explains the meaning of “Achilles’ heel.”
Answer:
B - “Achilles’ heel” is a term used to describe a weak spot. The phrase comes from the story of a Greek soldier who was thought to be unbeatable—but was actually vulnerable.

The importance of this Bridge in its far-reaching effects at once entices and baffles the imagination. At either end of the Bridge lies a great city – cities full of vigorous life. The activities and the energies of each flow over into the other. The electric current has conveyed unchecked between the two the interchanging thoughts, but the rapid river has ever bidden halt to the foot of man. It is as though the population of these cities had been brought down to the river-side, year after year, there to be taught patience; and as though, in this Bridge, after these many years, patience had had her perfect work. The ardent merchant, the busy lawyer, the impatient traveler – all, without distinction and without exception – at the river have been told to wait. No one can compute the loss of time ensuing daily from delays at the ferries to the multitudes crossing the stream. And time is not only money – it is opportunity. Brooklyn becomes available, henceforth, as a place of residence to thousands, to whom the ability to reach their places of business without interruption from fog and ice is of paramount importance. To all Brooklyn's present citizens a distinct boon is given.

Writing an Informative Essay about the Immigrant Experience with sources and paragraph
Answer: Have you ever wondered what difficulties immigrant children have faced? Whether forced to make such decisions or doing so by their own desires, all immigrants have had to survive the physical and psychological challenges encountered along the way. The most effected people are immigrant children.
Countless children and teens are being seperated from their family, or moving without a choice. Today's immigrant children face grueling challenges that might effect their life. Immigrant children might be traveling alone, which is very dangerous. Even if the children are immigrating with their family, the language barrier will still be a problem. In addition, they might not have studied english are any other language before moving. As a result, this causes massive trouble and they will not be able to do things like attending school, finding jobs, or interviews. Therefore, immigrating now is very challening and difficult.
Another challenge that immigrant kids face is that they had to ride boats for days or weeks sometimes even months. Kids today still take boats but most take planes or cars. Following, they had to go through many medical tests, as well as filling out things like insurance and medical care. Furthermore, the reason they had to do this was to make sure that did not have any diseases. Getting tested for diseases is still around today. Also, when you have arrived to where your destination, you had to stand in long lines to be processed in with passports and IDs.
To sum it up, immigrating for children is very hard and you can encounter difficult situations that you might not know how to fix.

essay on what a life is to you
Answer:
What life is to me?
Explanation:
It’s one thing to be alive, but it’s another to actually be living. As humans, we have the choice to go through the motions, watching the days go by, or we can really embrace the life around us. It’s easier than you think to fall into the routine of the first option.
I’m not going to lie, I’ve lived a majority of my life that way. However recently I’ve been making a conscious effort to wake up each morning with a new goal: to actually live my life. I want to experience it all. I want to experience happiness from everything around me, big and small. However, with this mindset, I have to expect to have my share of misfortune-- that is part of living. Something I’ve come to realize is that I cannot have the mindset that life is only full of happy things. The reality is, it isn’t. But this doesn’t mean I can’t live a happy life. It’s completely possible to live a happy life while dealing with problems. That’s one huge lesson I’ve learned.
Life is the little things. There are so many things that we all experience. We all turn 18, we all go to college, we all get married, etc. These are big things. They don’t differentiate us, though. Some people, including myself once, mistakenly defined life by milestones. Granted, these milestones are very important. But what often gets forgotten are those little things. The things that make us who we are, the things that make those milestones all the more special.

BTW THIS IS ABOUT EDGAR ALLEN POE
ALSO, I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO THE BEST ANSWER!
Answer:
Edgar Allen Poe causes a sense of fear and horror with his wording.
Explanation:
Edgar Allen Poe uses repetition, he uses it wisely causing a sense of suspense. For example he repeats "quote the raven Nevermore" after most of the stanzas he uses it as a way to show us his loss of sanity. In the story "The Tell-Tale Heart" he uses the phrase "a watch when it's developed in cotton" he uses it when he even mentions a heartbeat. Edgar Allen Poe uses repetition to cause a sense of horror to shiver the reader and drag them to the story and cause them to feel the speakers feelings.
STORIES OF USEFUL INVENTIONS, excerpt
By S. E. Forman
1911
THE MATCH
There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.
Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.
In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.

Please Help!!! In Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery," how does the contrast between the characters’ view of the lottery and that of readers' impact the story?
- Tessie's obviously negative view of the lottery after she wins conflicts with the readers' previous view of the lottery as rather mundane to create suspense about why Tessie gets so upset.
- The way the women of the village celebrate and take pride in the lottery goes against the readers' view of it as a shameful event and gives the text its wacky tone.
- The way the children of the town innocently approve of the lottery makes the readers' view of the lottery as foolish seem misguided and gives the story its conflict.
- The Hutchinsons' positive view of the lottery throughout the story differs from the readers' view of the lottery as suspicious from the very start to create humor as the story progresses.
Answer: A
Explanation: its most likely
Answer:A
Explanation:
This would make the most sense since in today’s society we view the lottery as a fun thing that you want to win. Seeing Tessie get upset and nervous about winning is confusing to the reader.

Read Robert Frost's poem, "The Birthplace." Then, identify and describe the main kind of figurative language that's used in the poem. Finally, discuss how this use of figurative language contributes to the poem's meaning.
Here further up the mountain slope
Than there was ever any hope,
My father built, enclosed a spring,
Strung chains of wall round everything,
Subdued the growth of earth to grass
And brought our various lives to pass.
A dozen girls and boys we were.
The mountain seemed to like the stir,
And made of us a little while–
With always something in her smile.
Today she wouldn't know our name.
(No girl's, of course, has stayed the same.)
The mountain pushed us off her knees.
And now her lap is full of trees.
Explanation:
The main kind of figurative language used in the poem "The Birthplace" is personification.
The contribution of the use of personification in the poem serves to emphasize the author's nostalgic feeling about nature.
The Birthplace is a poem by Robert Frost the main theme of which is nature and how people change with it.
Frost uses personification in trying to show the transient relationship between man and nature, how nature is so changed and man so out of touch with it that she wouldn't even remember their name.

Author two is going out and hunting them in the wild, which is a respected thing to do. It takes a strong and smart person to hunt.

Is experiencing colors, joy, and love worth also experiencing pain, war, and hate? Why or why not?
Answer:
Yes, experiencing colours, joy and love are worth experiencing pain, war and hate, because life is all about love, happiness and pain as well. Pain and hatred teach us to get stronger and move on. If we only experienced happiness then it wouldn't have taught us to move on with things. At the end of the day, everything is worth it.
Explanation:
Answer:
Yes, it is.
Explanation:
Without experiencing pain, war, or hate you wouldn't be able to see how sweet joy, love, and color is. You really can't get rid of one without getting rid of the other...at least that's what I think.

Here grew bright, pinky sea-weeds, mosses of all hues and shades, and tall grasses, which, growing upwards, formed emerald caves and grottoes such as the Nereides love, whilst fish of various kinds playfully darted in and out, in the full enjoyment of their native element. Nor was illumination wanting in this fairy-like region, which at night was lit up by the glowworms of the deep.
