Based on this passage from The Scarlett Ibis,


That summer, the summer of 1918, was blighted. In May and June there was no rain and the crops withered, curled up, then died under the thirsty sun. One morning in July a hurricane came out of the east, tipping over the oaks in the yard and splitting the limbs of the elm trees. That afternoon it roared back out of the west, blew the fallen oaks around, snapping their roots and tearing them out of the earth like a hawk at the entrails of a chicken. Cotton bolls were wrenched from the stalks and lay like green walnuts in the valleys between the rows, while the cornfield leaned over uniformly so that the tassels touched the ground. Doodle and I followed Daddy out into the cotton field, where he stood, shoulders sagging, surveying the ruin. When his chin sank down onto his chest, we were frightened, and Doodle slipped his hand into mine. Suddenly Daddy straightened his shoulders, raised his giant knuckly fist, and with a voice that seemed to rumble out of the earth itself began cursing heaven, hell, the weather, and the Republican Party. Doodle and I, prodding each other and giggling, went back to the house, knowing that everything would be all right.



Which phrase is not an example of sensory imagery that make the details of the setting more vivid?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B. One morning in July a hurricane came out of the east...

Explanation:

Imagery is a tool many writers use to help their readers visualize what is going on in the story. Using figurative and descriptive language, they describe things in a way that appeals to our five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. This makes the story more vivid, making it feel more real.

The phrase that is not an example of sensory imagery is phrase B. It simply tells us about an occurrence. It doesn't contain any details that could appeal to our senses, unlike other phrases. The first phrase helps us imagine withered crops dying because of the heat; the second describes how the narrator's father cursed, and the third makes us picture two young boys teasing each other and giggling on their way back home.

This is why option B is the correct one.

In the opening pages of Ender's Game, Ender observes that "Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth? What does he mean by that? In the opening pages of Ender's Game, Ender observes that "Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth. Do you think his observation is correct or incorrect?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1. Ender meant that many times the lie shows us a reality that is less painful and easier to accept and although this reality does not exist, it is accepted by our spirits and comforts us, because the verse about reality is very hard and difficult to to deal. In this case, the lie is easier to believe, because it brings a comfort that the truth does not.

2. His observation is correct, because the lie is often more comforting and credible, but it is important that whenever possible the truth is prioritized so that people do not experience an illusion.

Today was an experience I’m supper glad I could have. It started out with my family and I waking up at five in the morning to get to the airport. I hardly slept the night before because I was excited to be going in an airplane the first time. Once we got to the airport, I could see how big the planes were but once inside they don’t look too big. The flight had a lot of turbulence and my mom was getting nervous. Although I really enjoyed it, I just imagined it as a roller-coaster. Once we were about to land, I look out the window and I could see all the clouds it was amazing I could imagine touching them and seeing how soft they were. After that We went inside the clouds it was super foggy but cool. Once we got out of the clouds, I could see the city it was big! And seeing it from above it was pretty

Answers

Answer:

Today was quite the experience. I'm feel very euphoric about having to go through with it. My family and I woke up at five in the morning to leave for the airport, the start to my great adventure! I had hardly slept the night before due to all the excitement I was feeling about flying in an airplane for the first time. Once we had got to the airport, I could see all the big airplanes and how amazing they looked up close. But the excitement of the big planes had died down when we got into the actual thing, to put it bluntly, it wasn't as cool as I had hoped. On the ride to our destination, there was a lot of turbulence and my mother had begun to grow nervous. I wasn't very aware of this thought because I was enjoying the roller-coaster of a ride. As the plane was getting closer to landing, I looked out the window to see all the majestic clouds rolling by below us, I thought it was amazing! I imagined reaching out to touch them, feeling how soft they were. When the plane had flown into the clouds, it was all foggy, a interesting experience. As we exited the cloudy part of the ride, I could see the huge city! It was an impowering feeling and so beautiful to see it from above. I'm extremely happy to have gone on this tip and hope to feel this way again fairly soon!

The opening lines of the Mayflower Compact read: "Having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith and honor of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia, do by these presents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God, and one of another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic…"

Answers

Answer:

a. A social contract.

Explanation:

The Mayflower Compact signed on Nov 21, 1620, was the first government framework that was signed and documented aboard the Mayflower before landing at Plymouth. This document gave the 'pilgrims' aboard the ship a certain level of 'immunity' from the American government.

This declaration was a result of the change in the destination after the Mayflower was unable to dock at its intended destination. By pledging with each other, the pilgrims inside the ship were given a promise by the Pilgrim leaders for safety and liberty in the new settlements. And this pledge begins with the lines "Having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith and honor of our King and Country, . . . combine ourselves together into a civil body politic…" follows or seems to allude to the social contract theory. This means that the people will live in accordance with the 'pledge' signed that ensures adherence to a certain form of authority and social law.

Thus, the correct answer is option a.

For me the answer is

B. to show that they will follow the colony’s rule

E. internet blogs

Answers

Explanation:

Music will not help her unless it's an opera singing about World War II.

Nature is a great source of inspiration, but it is not a source.

Magazines are a secondary source, and unless the magazine quotes directly from a primary source, they are of no help to her.

Memoirs are a more primary source than magazines. They are often times written by the person the book is about and usually has more trustworthy sources compared to magazines which often have propaganda, biased opinions, etc.

Internet blogs are nice, but like magazines are not a primary source and often have propaganda, and biased opinions.

Should graffiti be considered art? 175 words please. your own words please

Answers

Answer:

yes i should

Explanation:

Answer:

Graffiti has loomed between the borders of true art, mindless trash and a way of solely getting your name around. Is Graffiti the everyday scrawlings of misdirected teenagers or the well-laced masterpiece by a keen eye? For years the opinions have changed and shifted. Currently there is not a consensus about whether graffiti can yet be classed as art.

Graffiti has loomed between the borders of true art, mindless trash and a way of solely getting your name around. Is Graffiti the everyday scrawlings of misdirected teenagers or the well-laced masterpiece by a keen eye? For years the opinions have changed and shifted. Currently there is not a consensus about whether graffiti can yet be classed as art.

For me, graffiti is interesting and eye-catching. The blank wall of a building or an untouched alleyway becomes something brand new with the addition of graffiti. It becomes the expression of an individual’s artistic vision.

According to the Mural Arts Philadelphia website, the city’s first legitimate effort to eradicate graffiti began with the formation of the Anti-Graffiti Network in the 1980s. In response, artist Jane Golden launched the Mural Arts Program, which encourages graffiti artists to use their talents for “constructive public art projects.” Golden is now the executive director of the program.

I’m a strong advocate for any visual and artistic display of character, and I think graffiti is a perfect example of this. The world is a canvas, and strokes and sprays of paint make any city more stimulating and colorful.

Graffiti is no less artistic than the murals in Center City or the painted trash cans down South Street. It should be embraced and encouraged, not denounced

needs to be specific and declarative.
True
False

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

An argumentative thesis must assert the writer's viewpoint.

The answer is TRUE.

Why should your thesis statement be specific?

A thesis statement should show exactly what your paper will be about, and will help you keep your paper to a manageable topic.

Should a thesis be declarative?

A thesis statement is a declarative sentence that asserts the position a paper will be taking. This statement should be both specific and arguable. Generally, the thesis statement will be placed at the end of the first paragraph of your paper. The remainder of your paper will support this thesis

How do you write an argumentative thesis?

Your thesis statement should be one to two sentences. Your thesis statement should clearly present the main idea of your essay and make some kind of assertion (even if that assertion is about bringing two sides together). Your thesis should not make an “announcement” about what your essay will cover.
