Overdevelopment has become a serious problem for many suburban communities. In order to respond to the crisis, many local municipalities have begun to purchase open space (undeveloped land) in order to protect the character of the landscape and prevent overdevelopment.

A friend of yours who has been living in Europe for some years has written to invite you to join him. Write a reply to his letter giving, at least, three reasons why you would rather remain in your country

Answers

as I love my country
would not leave my school and colony friends
would not leave my responsibilities that I pledged towards my country

Answer:

Hi,

It's wonderful of you to extend an invitation to reside in Europe to me. With the complexities of their regulations, I believe that residing in Europe would be quite difficult for me without much research. Another significant point of contention would be the disparate cultures and languages. Thirdly, I feel safe and comfortable in my nation, where I have a large number of relatives and friends. I'm certain I'd want to visit you there and would also welcome your visit to my nation. I miss you tremendously and hope we can devise a strategy as soon as it is safe to do so.

Looking forward,

Your dear friend

The Reefs

By Marcella Morris

She clutched her lab work to her side and walked briskly towards school. The snow fell in typical New York flurries, and the ground was still icy from last night’s freeze. Careful not to slip, she climbed the steps and crossed the campus toward the science building.

"What am I doing?" she murmured. Sophie’s worst habit was talking to herself in public. "I have been warned."

"You are just a high-school kid, Sophie," they warned. "What makes you think you are capable of solving this crucial environmental issue? Stop wasting your time." The professors would not give her laboratory time to complete research nor would they share their expertise with her.

But, she could not stop.

After a snorkeling trip she took with her aunt to the coral reefs, she felt that something had shifted inside her. The snorkeling guide made one fact very clear: these colonies of tiny organisms would not last. In fact, we’d be lucky if they lasted five more years. She cared about the safety of these coral reefs more than she has cared about anything for a long, long time. She had to do something for the fragile, endangered habitat with its fish, mollusks, worms, crustaceans, and many more.

She used her money to create a lab at her aunt’s house. She worked tirelessly--endlessly--sleeping only when she had to.

"It’s what Mom and Dad would have done," she thought.

Sophie's best friend, Sam, would hang out with her every day--eating pizza, fries, and whatever else he could get his hands on, keeping her company with his humor while she worked on her experiments. And now, she has a biological solution in her hands.

She hesitated at the door to the labs. Nervously, she shifted her lab report from one hand to the other.

"I know that I have an innovative approach to solving the coral reef issue and I know I can help," she said to no one.

The image of being ridiculed by these professors delayed her entry. She stood outside the door, wanting to run back--wanting to hide--glued to the icy spot.

"Hey, Sophie!" She turned at the unexpected sound of Sam’s voice.

"I’ve been…trying to catch up with you," he panted, out of breath. "Let’s go in and…show them…what you’ve got."

Sophie tilted her head, smiled at Sam, and opened the door. She walked confidently to the front, laid out her research on the podium, and began her presentation. When her presentation ended, it was to the enthusiastic sound of the scientists’ applause.

Part 1–Graphic Organizer How does the theme develop?

Write a one paragraph analysis of the story that explains how theme develops in, "The Reefs."

Answers

Answer:

The Reefs by Marcella Morris

1. The theme develops from the conflict or the central problem that is being confronted.   It can also develop from the character, especially the character's qualities, actions, responses, and changes which the character makes in the situation.

2. Sophie was confronted with the problem of solving a crucial environmental issue.  The coral reefs were facing possible extinction.  She could not receive some support from her college professors, as they refused to provide their expertise, withheld their moral support, and did not supply her with the resources that she required (e.g. laboratory time).  But, Sophie did not give up.  She singularly decided to do something and was able to follow through despite the discouraging challenges.  At last, she came up with the solution because of her indomitable spirit.  

Explanation:

What is a theme?  A theme of a story or an event is the lesson that can be derived from the story or event.  It is not the sequence of events that make up a story, which is known as the plot, but the message or the bone of the story.  The theme develops from the conflict or the central problem that is being tackled.  The lessons that are learned in tackling the conflict or problem are the themes.

Read the passage below. Those who argue for the continuation of space exploration say that the benefits outweigh the great financial costs. One such argument is that many scientific advancements, such as the artificial heart, were partially a result of space exploration. Another benefit mentioned by those in favor is that the insulation used to keep homes warm is now more efficient because of what was learned from insulating space shuttles that were sent into space. Many advancements in technology have been linked to space travel. Based on the phrase "another benefit mentioned,” how is home insulation connected to space exploration? Innovations in space exploration showed that it was necessary to insulate homes. Innovations in space exploration contributed to the efficiency of insulating people's homes.

Who do you think had more control over Booker T. Washington's fate in the story? Booker or the headmaster? Why? Answers should be at least 8
sentences (but no more than 15 sentences).

Answers

Answer:

Not sure what "Book" you read but this may help.

Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) was born into slavery and rose to become a leading African American intellectual of the 19 century, founding Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in 1881 and the National Negro Business League two decades later. Washington advised Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. His infamous conflicts with black leaders like W. E. B. Du Bois over segregation caused a stir, but today, he is remembered as the most influential African American speaker of his time.

------

Booker Taliaferro Washington was born on April 5, 1856, in a slave hut in Franklin County, Virginia. His mother was a cook for the plantation’s owner. His father, a white man, was unknown to Washington. At the close of the Civil War, all the slaves owned by James and Elizabeth Burroughs—including 9-year-old Booker, his siblings, and his mother—were freed. Jane moved her family to Malden, West Virginia. Soon after, she married Washington Ferguson, a free black man.

2.06 Discussion: How Have Voices Changed? What values and ideas did the writers of the Revolutionary period have in common with their Puritan forebears? What values and ideas did they leave behind? ​

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The Puritans believed that God had formed a unique understanding or agreement with them. They believed that God expected them to live according to the Scriptures. They were of the view that God expected from them to set a good example that would cause those who had remained in England to change their sinful ways. Most early migrants to the Massachusetts Bay Colony were full-grown members of the Puritan faith.

Although Revolutionary thinkers' ideas and values were entirely different, the way they had represented their ideas and values was common. Because they wanted to get the true meaning of life, their purpose was to live according to the rules of God. Moreover, they want their religion to be the core part of everything. However, the enlightenment period drove them apart as they started considering the knowledge and experience as a crucial part of their lives. They bend to more scientific knowledge rather than religious talks.

The values and ideas the revolutionaries left behind that everything should be research-based. Knowledge and experience are a more important way to get the answer.
