How does the structure of "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” affect readers' understanding of the story?
Answer:
Bierce used the literary technique of flashback in his stories. When authors use flashbacks in their works, it can be difficult to keep track of the chronological order of the story's events. Ambrose Bierce uses flashbacks and flash-forwards in "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.” In section 1 of the story, the reader sees a man on a bridge with a noose around his neck and surrounded by soldiers. It’s apparent that the soldiers aim to execute the man, but the reason for his execution is unknown, so some readers might sympathize with the man at this point. Section 2 uses a flashback and shows the circumstances leading to the man being on the verge of execution on the bridge. Readers now learn the man’s history and realize that it’s the man’s foolhardiness that got him into trouble. In section 3, the author uses a flash-forward but tricks the reader into believing that the events taking place are in the present. It's only at the end of the story that readers realize that the man on the bridge never escaped the noose around his neck.Why do you think Janie listens to Joe?

The speaker wore chevrons on his arm, his companion red stripes on his shoulders.
"Whose place is this, old woman? Of course it's not empty. How about the light and that child there? Look here, confound it, we want to eat, and
quick too. We're coming in."

The two words that best reveal the setting of the story are ranch and limon.
What do you mean by setting of the story?The setting of a story refers to the period and location the author choose. A setting might be a true time and place, or it can be a fictional universe and an unknown time.
The story is set at a ranch which is named as Limon. A ranch is a plot of land with a variety of buildings that is used mostly for ranching, which is the activity of rearing grazing animals like sheep and cattle.

America’s space program does not get the attention it once did. It certainly doesn’t generate the same excitement. From the 1950s through the 1970s, astronauts were national heroes. Children dreamed of traveling through space. Adults looked to the moon with the sense of national pride. Those days could—and should—return again.
If average Americans search their brain, it is not hard to find arguments against space travel. It costs money. It’s dangerous. We have enough problems on our own planet. If the same Americans search their hearts, however, the results are different. Deep within us, we all have similar desires. Space exploration fulfills all these desires.
Let’s begin with curiosity. We all have it. From the time we are small children we long to know what is in the next room, down the street, or in the next town. We are nomads, wanting to explore. We are detectives, trying to solve a mystery. We are students of life, seeking answers. The space program gives us a chance to be all those things and more. Even if we don’t travel ourselves, the excitement of new discoveries would again feed our thirst for something new.
Another benefit of returning to space is the inspiration it provides. In the early days of space travel, America had a goal. We wanted to reach space safely and quickly. The country responded spectacularly. Teamwork and creativity reached all-time highs. Students delved deeper into science and math hoping to contribute. Heroes stepped up to bravely accept challenges. We were attempting the impossible and determined to succeed. Think of the amazing things Americans would accomplish if that inspiration returned.
Perhaps the largest thing lost with a shrinking space program is perspective. Exploring space reminds us how small and fragile our planet truly is. It encourages collaboration with other countries which helps cultural differences disappear. It can reveal the effects of abusing natural resources. Looking at our Earth from a great distance gives us a unique view of our world and the effect we have upon it.
Plans for America’s space program should clearly be revisited. Exploration of our solar system should continue not for science or power or money, but for the benefit of mankind. It gives us an outlet for our curiosity. It provides inspiration for our souls. It offers a perspective to help understand our place in the universe. The benefits are as vast as space itself.

Write a paragraph about Oline Learning Is Not Effective.
Answer:
Online learning is not effective because many kids take it for advantage not attending class and most children cannot keep up with it like they do in a classroom. Classrooms have quick access to your teacher and allow privacy for the student to ask help and most students learn and need to recive help visually and sometimes videos dont cut out. Most students get distracted and most need face to face and often feel isolated making their response to work very negative making many students fail and get low grades.
Answer: there is no face to face communication and we don’t really get to spend a lot of time with our friends or gossip about each other’s crush and it sometimes get boring just sitting in front of the computer for an hour.

Why do you think the police continued to harass Martin Luther King?
Answer: Martin Luther King Jr. stood for righteous equality. His hopes and his "I have a dream" speech, aroused countless lives both American and African American. His goals went against the way America had been raised, for she was a mighty country, but it was not yet seen as unjust, until King took a stand. The police no doubt felt his teachings and his wishes were wrong, and felt they should end this. They wanted to "restore order" to their homes and lives. However, i beg to differ, that the so called "order" was but chaos cloaked in silence. The police failed to witness the truth King had given to the people of the nation, and the world.

50 PTS. Read the following narrative dialogue. What is the message the author is trying to convey? What are the differences that can be drawn between the two characters? What do you think of the story?
Answer:
1. The author is trying to convey that we all have problems that are of equal relevance because they all cause us misery.
2a. While Arthur believes that both the rich and poor have problems that cause them the same amount of misery, Marcus believes that some problems are much weightier than the others.
b. Also, it seems that Marcus is more sympathetic to the plight of the poor compared to Arthur.
c. Arthur seems more of a logical thinker than Marcus who infuses his emotions in his reasoning of matters.
3. I think the story exposes two lines of subjective reasoning on issues bordering on life's challenges. Personally, I side with Marcus who believes that some problems are much weightier than others. The problems faced by a student struggling with his grades pales in comparison to a homeless person with no shelter nor food.
Explanation:
In the story, the author presents two lines of arguments from two friends. While one thinks that all of our problems are of equal relevance because they all make us miserable, the other thinks that some problems are more serious than the others. Personally, I think that while all problems make us miserable, there are degrees to the misery experienced.
The problems of a man facing charges that could result in life imprisonment is of a higher degree when compared to those of a poor family with little food to eat.
