Read the paragraph. Then answer the question that follows. Perhaps you wanted pizza for dinner, but were out voted by the rest of the family who wanted chili. This is similar to what happens in a community. One person has to give up a right for the good of the group. Sometimes citizens' duties and rights conflict with each other. A good example is a public protest. People have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe. Therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. Government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people. What type of connection is used in the paragraph? (5 points) a Simile b Contrast c Category d Analogy

Vera is the first character who speaks in the story. Keeping direct characterization techniques in mind, write a 75- to 100-word description of Vera. Use details from the story to support your answer.

Answers

This question is related to the short story "The Open Window"

Answer:

Vera is a country girl, but instead of showing country and naive traits, Vera shows herself to be a very polite, controlled and centered girl. This can be seen right when she meets Mr. Frampton Nuttel, at the beginning of the story. However, despite these positive qualities, in the course of the plot, Vera shows herself to be an astute, malicious and very intelligent girl.

Vera is not really a villain, but she is quite manipulative and manages to hit Mr. Frampton Nuttel squarely with his subterfuge. We can understand that she does this to have a distraction from the monotonous life of the countryside and to rule her control and intelligence in someone weaker.

Answer:

Vera is a 15-year-old girl who has an overactive imagination and is a good actress. She keeps acting even when her uncle and his companions return from hunting. The narrator describes Vera’s reaction:

Framton shivered slightly and turned towards the niece with a look intended to convey sympathetic comprehension. The child was staring out through the open window with a dazed horror in her eyes.

Vera is able to fool her own family as well as Framton. She explains Framton’s sudden departure:

"I expect it was the spaniel," said the niece calmly; "he told me he had a horror of dogs.”

Read the passage below. Then explain how the setting helps to develop the following theme: No matter how much we want to deny it, people change over time. Use specific examples from the text in supporting your response. Passage When I went back to Eastborough for my 20th high school reunion, I didn't know what to expect. I was excited to see the old gang: Squid, Tony, and Mikey were all going to be there. I hadn't been back since graduation, but when I stepped into the old gym it felt like coming home. There was the stage where I starred in Hamlet, and the hoop where I hit the game-winning shot. I felt like a king again, like nothing had changed. I saw the guys and ran over. "Squid!" I yelled and punched him in the arm, just like the four of us used to do. He seemed a little taken aback. "Actually, I go by my real name now: Harold." "Hey, sorry Squid. No offense. How are you doing, Mikey? Tony? "Good," Mikey said. "Enjoying this get-together, though I'll have to get the kids home soon." "Me, too," said Tony. "Soon?" I said, "I just got here! Why don't we sneak into the science lab and race some of the frogs, like old times?" It went on like that for a few more minutes: me trying to get those guys to lighten up and them making excuses until they finally left. Standing alone after the guys left, I looked around again. The paint was chipped on the ceiling, and cobwebs laced across every corner. The banners on the wall were faded. Suddenly, I didn't feel like a king anymore. Nothing was the same, was it?

   The setting helps develop the theme by showing that even though they are in the same setting, many things werent the same. For example, in the text it shows how many thing have changed between the main characters friends.  How are you doing, Mikey? Tony? "Good," Mikey said. "Enjoying this get-together, though I'll have to get the kids home soon." "Me, too," said Tony. "Soon?" I said, "I just got here!

Read the excerpt from "The Seven Voyages of Sindbad the Sailor." "Oh!" replied Sindbad, "do not imagine that I am so unjust as to blame you. On the contrary, I understand your situation and can pity you. Only you appear to be mistaken about me, and I wish to set you right. You doubtless imagine that I have acquired all the wealth and luxury that you see me enjoy without difficulty or danger, but this is far indeed from being the case. I have only reached this happy state after having for years suffered every possible kind of toil and danger.Which details from the text best support the central idea? Select two options.

Answers

Answer:

You appear to be mistaken about me

I wish to set you right.

Explanation:

Based on the given passage, Sinbad finds out that his situation has been misunderstood by the reader because the reader erroneously thinks that everything Sinbad acquired was without stress or hardwork.

As a result of this, Sinbad wants to explain himself so he won't be misunderstood.

The sentences "You appear to be mistaken about me" and "I wish to set you right." most clearly support the central idea.

Story of an hour story of an hour Which of the following best describes the ending of the story

Answers

What's Up With the Ending?
The ending of "The Story of an Hour" is a classic fake-out. The event that starts the story off – Mr. Mallard's death – is completely undone in the conclusion. It's the opposite of a linear life story because he starts out dying and ends up alive. Meanwhile, Mrs. Mallard's life, which her friends and family tried so hard to protect at the beginning, is lost at the end.
So, the story ends with an event the characters tried to avoid at the beginning. That's ironic. And, on a second look, pretty brutal. Let's look again at that last line: "When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease – of joy that kills" (23). Readers can take away one thing for certain from this: Mrs. Mallard has died.
The doctors referenced say it was because of the "joy" that Mrs. Mallard felt upon realizing her husband hadn't died. If that were all, it would be a cruel twist of fate. Her happiness killed her. That would prove just how much she loved her husband. But what if she didn't die of joy? What kind of shock does she really feel upon seeing her husband alive again?

Lines 178–185: What theme does the author want to convey? How does the abandoned
corn relate to God's "providence"?

Answers

Answer:

In lines 178-185 the author transmits the theme of with the movement that originated the separatists of Inglaterro was something beneficial and that would have good results.

According to the author abandoned corn, it may seem like an adverse condition, but it is a providence from God, so it is something that will bring good results.

Explanation:

This question is about "History of Plymouth Plantation", written by William Bradford which is a real and faithful account of the experiences lived by the members of the first English colony in North America, as well as reports the reasons, the difficulties and the improvements that these members found on the new continent.

In lines 178-185 we learn that for the author the separatist movement that allowed this colony to be created was something good, beneficial and constructive and it was God's permission for his people to grow, even in the midst of difficulties. Alluding to this, he shows how an abandoned corn may look weak and in a bad condition, but this "abandonment" is God's provision to make the strongest mildew, turned out to be, after all, a good thing. .

Because Josh gets lost in the desert, he learns that

Answers

I know what you're thinking. No way, right? English class is the most boring class of the day, right? I mean, why do I need to take English class when I already speak English? Right? Yeah, well I felt that way, too, until last summer when English class literally saved my life.
Let me explain.
My foster family, the Jamesons, decided to take a vacation. Sounds great, huh? Maybe Disneyland or a week on the beach? No way. They wanted to go to the desert. Long story short, we drove half way across the country to camp out in the Great Basin Desert.
"Josh, be sure to pack your warmest clothing," Mrs. Jameson yelled up the stairs. "The desert is cold at night, but don't worry. It won't leave you cold. Just wait until you see the stars."
We finally arrived at the Great Basin National Park, and I have to admit it was different than I imagined.
"Amazing, isn't it?" Mr. Jameson asked me as we looked out over the desert's vast, silent valleys. I just grunted back at him and put my earphones back in. No matter what changed in my life, no matter how many times I failed, my music was always there.
Later that night, I sat inside my tent and listened to the Jamesons telling stories around the fire they made. They thought it was so easy. Telling stories. Reading stories. I couldn't even pass English class. I couldn't understand those stupid stories. Suddenly angry, I left the tent. They didn't even notice.
The air was colder, but the stars were amazing. I had to admit it. I turned off my music as I walked and listened to the desert. Coyotes howling. Owls hooting. Clawing. Scurrying. Something wet hit my face. I looked up and realized it was snowing! In the desert in July! And I was lost.
I wandered for hours but couldn't find our camp. The temperature continued to drop. I found a tree with deep crevices in the trunk and took shelter. My hands were getting numb, and I knew I was in trouble. Then I remembered Jack London and his story that we read in English class, "To Build a Fire." I knew I needed to keep warm, so I gathered up the branches around the base of the tree, piled up some dry grasses for kindling, and used the matches in my pocket to get the fire going. Just like in Jack's story. It worked!
I spent the night keeping that fire going and listening to the sounds of the desert. In the morning, the Jamesons found me. I was only about a half-mile away.
"Look at you," Mrs. Jameson said, when I told her how I'd remembered that story from English class, "making use of those 'stupid' stories from English class. Now all you have to do is write your own because your friends aren't going to believe how English class saved your life!"

He really does understand the stories he reads in English.
