Can someone help me make a summary of the Nights and Dragons story? Pls and thank you!
Answer:
Nights and Dragons, by Abigail Prynne talks about a pre-teen who as a little girl, was obsessed with dragons, and at the age of 13, wanted to find out if dragons are, or were actually real? As she started researching the topic, she found that many scientists gave many reasons why dragons couldn’t exist. Remembering encouraging words from her grandmother, she kept researching dragons and found some interesting facts. With seeing that many cutlers wrote or talked about dragons, and included them with other “real” animals, she started to have hope that dragons might be real. With newfound hope, she started looking for new theories, and found many people that had the belief that dragons were real! They have many theories, that if dragons existed they could produce gas to fly; however, many disagreed with these theories. We might not know if dragons were ever real, but there might always be people disagreeing over the subject, but I will still smile at the idea of dragons being real.
What can you conclude about Barton from the excerpt?
Read the excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by
Dean Kamen.
When I was twelve years old and Barton, my older
brother, was around fifteen, we took over the family
basſement. At first, I made a darkroom for developing
pictures, and Bart was using it as his lab where he was
raising about one hundred white rats, removing their
thymus glands, and trying to figure out the glands'
dysfunction. He wanted pictures taken of his
experiment, doing the surgery on rats, and since !
already had a darkroom, I took the pictures, though
He was interested in solving medical mysteries at a
rather early age.
He did not understand why Dean would be
squeamish about the blood.
He went on to become a very famous and
successful doctor.
He had a severe dislike for rats and all other kinds of
rodents.

Which is an example of paraphrasing the excerpt?
Immigrants usually crossed the Atlantic as steerage

occupied by passengers paying the lowest fare.
Men, women, and children were packed into dark, foul-
smelling compartments. They slept in narrow punks
stacked three high. They had no showers, no lounges,
and no dining rooms. Food served from huge kettles
was dished into dinner pails provided by the steamship

and uncomfortable, passengers spent as much time as
possible up on deck.
The voyage was an ordeal, but it was worth it. They

The direct object follows the verb. It is the noun or pronoun that receives (is affected by) the action expressed by the verb.
The indirect object follows the verb but precedes the direct object. When the verb expresses an action of giving and receiving, the indirect object is the noun that is the recipient of the direct object. Usually the indirect object is a person or a group of people.

A counterclaim simply means an opposing argument. A counterclaim is used by an individual to reject something that was said earlier.A counterclaim is used when one doesn't support a particular thing and then says something that is different. In this case, the Greek writer named Horapollo said that the picture of a goose stood for the word son but then explained that it was because geese took special care of their young, and this was inaccurate.In conclusion, the above analysis illustrates a counterclaim.
