State one misconception the author presents about reading science fiction. How does the author refute the misconception? Use at least two examples from the text to support your response.
Answer:
The author affirms that it is common for many people to believe that reading science fiction is not a worthy practice, it is not something literary and that it has the capacity of not being able to add anything in the life and reasoning of those who are reading it. The author states that this is a mistake and that it must be combated.
Explanation:
The author shows that there is a misunderstanding regarding science fiction reading by young people, since many people believe that this type of book is irrelevant, empty and expendable. The author refutes this by showing that he is a researcher in the field of social, ethical and political messages that science fiction has to offer and that through his research he was able to conclude that science fiction is capable of making young people understand human differences and ethical thinking .
In addition, he claims that all fiction has the ability to develop critical thinking and emotional intelligence.

20. What does hypocritical mean in this passage: "I could bear those
hypocritical smiles no longer! I felt that I must scream or die!"
attentive
confused
sensitive
deceptive
Answer:
Deceptive
Explanation:
Since the word hypocritical means acting one way when you mean another, deceptive works in this sentence, since deceptive means something looks one way when it is actually not that way.
An example of hypocrisy is saying bullying is bad and then bullying someone yourself. That's acting one way when you mean another, going back on your word and being deceptive, because everyone thinks you're nice but in fact you are not.
Hopefully that helps :)

Answer:
D. A student assures his teacher several times that he'll turn in the homework
Explanation:
The term reaffirmation is used to describe when someone reconfirms or reassures someone, a group of people, etc. of a belief.
In this specific question, answers A, B, and C do not demonstrate someone reassuring or reconfirming anything. B may look like a possible answer, but it is incorrect since the student is only telling his teacher a belief one time. The prefix "re--" means "again," so the correct answer will demonstrate an affirmation performed at least twice.
In D, the student is assuring his teacher several times that he will turn in his homework, properly demonstrating reassurance or a reaffirmation.
Hi there~
Write a poem based on 2020.
Explanation:
Coronavirus, the worst disease,
Hide in your homes, if you please.
Coronavirus, the worst disease,
Hide in your homes, if you please.
A disease killing lives,
And spreading negative vibes,
Symptoms like fever making us weak,
Doctor’s help, we need to seek.
Started in China, now, the world if sick,
Let us unite and find a cure, quick.
You will have fever as I told,
You will get headache and a cold.
Following up, then comes cough,
Getting rid of, is now quite tough.
You will get problems of respiration,
Now, we all need prevention.
Muscle pain can come too.
Let us build immunity, me and you.
Wash your hands with some soap,
We’ll fight the virus, that’s the hope.
Sneeze and cough into a tissue,
Let’s take some steps to tackle this issue.
Don’t go to crowded places,
Don’t be one of those thousand cases,
Visit a doctor if you need care,
Now, just make others, all aware
Answer:
What if 2020 isn’t cancelled? What if 2020 is the year we’ve been waiting for? A year so uncomfortable, so painful, so scary, so raw — that it finally forces us to grow A year that screams so loud, finally awakening us from our ignorant slumber. A year we finally accept the need for change, Declare change. Work for change. Become the change. A year we finally band together, instead of pushing each other further apart. I think that people are feeling that lack of hope, but they need to remember it is still there.

Using your understanding of plot, setting, and characters, make a plan for an original novel. Use Freytag’s Pyramid to outline your novel and show how you will explain the premise, introduce conflict, reach a climax point in the action, and then neatly resolve your piece.
Answer:
In this Chapter we are going to make a plot ladder. It is an idea developed from the exercise in the previous chapter and we are going to make a plot ladder in exactly the same way, by drawing at random a character and a series of actions. For continuity we will keep the same set of instructions and the same collection of jobs and professions from the previous chapter, but we will use a different job/profession. At the end of the exercise we will have written from the same material but with a change of character. The change of character and start point will yield a fresh, new interpretation of the same material.
Key idea: Even if you start in the same place, different characters, coming from various backgrounds, with their own individual wants and needs and attitudes, will not view the same action the same way and so your story will be different.

Using this text, and this text only, you are going to make a claim about what you THINK the author’s purpose is. Then, once you make that claim, you are going to support it with at least two specific examples from the text.
Write out your paragraph(s) and submit them to your instructor.
1 SENTENCE IS NOT A PARAGRAPH
Example:
Adam Alter’s primary goal is to get teachers to stop using red pens when they grade assignments. We can see this through his evidence he presents in several ways. One appeal he makes is to the teacher’s desire to inspire or motivate their students. One specific example of how red pen might hurt students is when he explains that “the color red activates the right hemisphere of the frontal cortex, a pattern of brain activity that typically indicates ‘avoidance motivation.’”(172). This quote would appeal to teachers because most teachers are hoping to inspire their students to try new things, not crush them.
Another reason that goes along with the belief that Alter’s purpose is to get teachers to stop using red pens is when he explains how many more errors people find when using a red pen. That by itself isn’t necessarily enough, but he does go on to state, “unfortunately, red ink is a double-edged sword, also causing students to perform more poorly in the first place”(172). This word choice is something that teachers would not want to associate with their grading necessarily, so they might be inclined to put the red pen down.
The author's purpose who is Adam Alter is to attempt to get teachers to stop using red pens to grade their students work. I believe he wants this is because the color red shows that the students have been assessed harshly when their work is covered in red ink. To me this isn't really important as it most likely only affects people in elementary school as they are more likely to express their feelings then people in secondary school. When speaking to my siblings on the topic to them the color red when grading work influences the mind that they made to many errors which resulted in their bad performances, as this may not make the most sense if you think about it in some religions the color red represents death and evil.

Answer and Explanation:
Martin’s bedroom. Martin is lying on the bed, his right arm covering his eyes. Colt is walking back and forth.
COLT: Just don’t do it, man.
MARTIN: (sighs) I haven’t made up my mind yet.
COLT: Then listen to me. This will only bring you trouble.
Colt sits at the food of the bed. Martin uncovers his eyes.
MARTIN: Isn’t it the right thing to do?
COLT: In theory, yeah. But I can assure you he will find out it was you who snitched.
Martin sits up. Stares at Colt.
MARTIN: How? Wait, first of all, let’s not call it “snitch”. I signed an Honor Code. We all did. He knows he is not supposed to cheat.
COLT: True. Listen, you don’t have to discuss this with me. I get what you’re saying. What he did was wrong, unethical. What you are about to do is your moral obligation. It is all logical and beautiful until it isn’t. I’m sure he knows someone who knows someone else who can ask the principal who it was that told him. He’ll know it was you. You’ll be making an enemy for life.
MARTIN: (after a pause) So this is what life is all about? Being afraid of doing the right thing? This is not how I want to live.
COLT: No one does. But – and this is my opinion - unless it is a matter of saving someone’s life, you shouldn’t go around being the almighty moral upholder.
MARTIN: (laughs quietly) That is not a thing.
COLT: (laughs) It sounds like a good definition for the kind of person you are. Quit being so uptight, man. So he cheated on the test. So what? Let it go this time.
MARTIN: I wish they wouldn’t do that…
COLT: What do you mean? Who? Do what?
MARTIN: I wish they – everyone, society, adults… - wouldn’t come up with all these rules just to make our lives miserable.
Describe JFK's pledge to struggling people. According to JFK, why is it important for America to help the poor?
"If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich." Just hours later, in his first official act, he issued an Executive Order to provide more food aid for needy families in response to the poverty he witnessed as he campaigned across the country. So, too, at the end of his Presidency, the poor were again on his mind and at the forefront of many discussions with his advisors as they prepared new initiatives that under President Johnson's leadership would become known as the War on Poverty.
