Write a 3 minute speech about urban legend

Answer:

there is a local monument in Iowa named the ¨Black Angel¨ this statue was built in 1913 by the artist Mario Korbel. It was used as a memorial for Edward Dolezal. The story of the eerie ¨Black Angel¨ dates all the way back to the late 19th century. This is when tourist Teresa Feldevert traveled to Iowa City. She was married at the time and had a son named ,Edward Dolezal  who later  died in Iowa City in 1891. She had requested for an angel statue to be looking down upon her sons grave. it is still to this day in the local  Iowa City cemetery. Many students and surrounding residents of Iowa City visit the statue. The biggest night of attraction is Halloween where students and residents gather around the statue, some test their luck by touching or kissing the statue. It is said that if one touches or kisses the statue they will be struck dead unless that person is a virgin. It is also rumored that if a pregnant woman walks beneath the statue’s stretched wings that she will miscarry.

Answer:

An example of an urban legend includes Mythology. My example of Mythology is about the Greek Gods. Zeus, the ruler of the universe,  is one of the most important characters. Hades, the oldest, is the ruler of the UnderWorld, where all the mortals go to when they die. I find this interesting because why is Hades the oldest child, not the ruler of the universe?

I read a book about it, and it was Hades' point of view. So apparently, the Gods played cards to see who would win, and Zeus cheated, but no one could do anything about it.  Hades didn't even want to rule, so everyone was content about it. I still find it unfair that Zeus is the ruler of the universe instead of Hades.  Shouldn't the oldest get the privileges? Also, Hades couldn't do anything because he swore on River Styx that he would protect his brothers from harm.

The story of Hades and Persephone was also wrong. P-phone wanted to run away to Hades, but Hades didn't know that. She sat on the end of his carriage without his knowledge and ended up in the Underworld. Hades never stole Persephone away. That's just some Myth-O-maniacs, just like Hades said. You should read those books.

Which form of narrative is mostly dialogue?

1. A biography

2. A play

3. A poem

4. A short story

PLZ can someone tell me what is the theme in this story??? I just need the theme if you can thank u <333

SHARKS' TEETH
Langston Carter

The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.

We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.

She seems to be fine if she is coming over tomorrow hopefully. Sara has been very helpful and I think the neighbors might give her a job helping in their farm! She is just the sweetest girl ever, I remember finding her in that little basket wrapped in that blue blanket on that snowy winter day. I will continue to write about every day until Sarah is old enough to continue on for me.

My mother is soon to be here, Sarah is very excited! She has been sitting outside since this morning, she tried to go outside in her night clothes but after a bit of bickering she finally put on her dress.She is very energetic this morning, i’m a bit concerned about her though,she still has no friends and prefers to help me and play with the hound, I hope that when mother comes she can help Sarah make new friends. A rich man has come to the village to look for a poor maiden to make his wife, I am quite confused on why a rich man would want a poor maiden. All the poor maidens in this village are lovely but none are very rich, I'm afraid that he might try to harm them.There is knocking at my door. I must hurry and get it, once I see who is at my door I'll let them in.

THE VOYAGES OF DOCTOR DOLITTLE
By Hugh Lofting

Chapter 1: The Cobbler's Son


My name was Tommy Stubbins, son of Jacob Stubbins, the cobbler of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh; and I was nine and a half years old. At that time Puddleby was only quite a small town. A river ran through the middle of it; and over this river there was a very old stone bridge, called Kingsbridge, which led you from the market-place on one side to the churchyard on the other.

Sailing-ships came up this river from the sea and anchored near the bridge. I used to go down and watch the sailors unloading the ships upon the river-wall. The sailors sang strange songs as they pulled upon the ropes; and I learned these songs by heart. And I would sit on the river-wall with my feet dangling over the water and sing with the men, pretending to myself that I too was a sailor.

For I longed always to sail away with those brave ships when they turned their backs on Puddleby Church and went creeping down the river again, across the wide lonely marshes to the sea. I longed to go with them out into the world to seek my fortune in foreign lands—Africa, India, China and Peru! When they got round the bend in the river and the water was hidden from view, you could still see their huge brown sails towering over the roofs of the town, moving onward slowly—like some gentle giants that walked among the houses without noise. What strange things would they have seen, I wondered, when next they came back to anchor at Kingsbridge! And, dreaming of the lands I had never seen, I'd sit on there, watching till they were out of sight.

Which of the following best states a key theme of the excerpt "The cobbler's son"? (6 points)

Commitment is a great quality in the young.
Home is always a place of comfort.
Imagination can take you very far.
Planning for your future is very important.

Write a two- to three-sentence objective summary based on the information in the passage below.
Passage
Students twirling in synchronized rhythm on the dance floor. Multicolored paints splattered on a canvas. Aside from allowing students to express their creativity, arts education is beneficial for them. Studying music, dance, or painting in school can increase learning in other core subjects and can improve math and reading skills. Arts education also allows students to practice working together, which raises their self-esteem and helps develop critical thinking and leadership skills. Whether it's learning to play the jazz trombone or painting the next Mona Lisa, the benefits extend far beyond the world of art.

Define the following words using your memory:

What inferences can be made about Galveston, Texas?

Advances in technology and meteorology have led to more accurate forecasting of hurricanes days in advance of landfall. Those forecasts have likely saved countless lives, as people are able to prepare or evacuate. Unfortunately, those forecasts were not available to the victims of the 1900 Galveston Hurricane. Four days before the storm hit Galveston, Texas, the National Weather Service sent
out an alert that a tropical storm had hit Cuba, but there were no real concerns about it making landfall in Galveston. There were isolated warnings that the hurricane was headed for Texas, but the warnings were ignored because of the calm weather at the time. The storm made landfall on September 8, and in
addition to strong winds, a high storm surge covered the island in seawater, which destroyed thousands of buildings and caused many deaths.

Galveston was an important city in the 1800s.

Galveston is many miles away from the coast.

The elevation of Galveston is not far above sea level.
