Hi. Ok, so I'm applying to be a Belle (It's a community thing) and I have to write a paragraph about why I'm applying and why I'd like to be selected. For some context, the Belles are an organization that does charity work and like town functions and stuff like that. Anyway, I'm bad at giving reasons why I want to do something, so I'm kinda stuck. How do I appeal to the people reading it and how do I word it without making it sound like I'm listing why I should be accepted? Because that's not technically what they were asking.

Answer:

be really genuine; "I truely feel that this is the right time for me to be accepted." I understand the requirements, commitment, and dedication and dedication is necessary, and I am more than willing to apply it. I am also willing to learn how to work hard, and really live deep in with the beautiful morals that come with this responcibiliy. (or whatever it is your doing) It would mean so much to me if I could try being the belle. (list reasons why in commas like this) It would help me with (blank) and I would really do (blank)

Explanation:

Hope this helps, and good luck on this, wish you the best

In many fictional stories, characters must overcome a difficult journey to accomplish a specific goal. Think about the main character in a novel you recently read (The Hobbit, A Wrinkle in Time, or The Old Man and the Sea). Consider the journey the main character participated in and how the character dealt with that journey. Next, think about whether the character learned more from participating in the journey or from achieving his or her goal. You will explain your thoughts about the main character in a group discussion.


Now that you have considered the discussion topic, write a one paragraph summary of the journey the main character completes in the novel you selected. Make sure your summary includes the name of the novel and the main character you are discussing.

Read the passage from The American Plague.

Adding to his frustration was the fact that very few official papers had made their way to him at Mount Vernon. Washington was a stickler for orderly files that he could search at a moment's notice. This was the most important way he kept himself informed about the hundreds of things happening in the fledgling nation. Unfortunately, when the government clerks had panicked and dashed from Philadelphia, they had abandoned all papers and records in boarded-up houses. No one knew where these documents were; and no one was willing to risk his or her life wandering, through the infected city in search of them.

What conclusion does the cause-and-reflect relationship in this passage support?

Washington lacked the information he needed to govern effectively.
Washington got information in other ways so he could govern effectively.
Washington was so angry at the clerks that he did not govern effectively.
Washington was too frustrated by his missing papers to govern effectively.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

But is the trend great for consumers? Perhaps not—some influencers have deceived their followers and made it impossible to escape advertising. Furthermore, influencers have caused our social media to become overrun with advertisements in a way that may frustrate or confuse people. In the past, it was very clear when you were looking at an online advertisement. Advertisements were everywhere, but they were fairly easy to ignore. Now, it is not immediately clear when we are being advertised to. It takes a bit more thinking to identify the advertisement because it blends in with all the other posts you are scrolling through.

Which of these inferences about the author’s point of view is best supported by the excerpt above?

a
The author believes that advertising through Instagram influencers is sometimes deceptive.
b
The author believes that Instagram influencers are irresponsible.
c
The author believes that people put way too much trust in influencers they don't really know.
d
The author believes that influencers are only doing it for the money.

Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman. The writer Angelo Pellegrini has recalled his own family’s detention at Ellis Island: We lived there for three days – Mother and we five children, the youngest of whom was three years old. Because of the rigorous physical examination that we had to submit to, particularly of the eyes, there was this terrible anxiety that one of us might be rejected. And if one of us was, what would the rest of the family do? My sister was indeed momentarily rejected; she had been so ill and had cried so much that her eyes were absolutely bloodshot, and Mother was told, “Well, we can’t let her in.” But fortunately, Mother was an indomitable spirit and finally made them understand that if her child had a few hours’ rest and a little bit to eat she would be all right. In the end we did get through. Most immigrants passed through Ellis Island in about one day. Carrying all their worldly possessions, they left the examination hall and waited on the dock for the ferry that would take them to Manhattan, a mile away. Some of them still faced long journeys overland before they reached their final destination. Others would head directly for the teeming immigrant neighborhoods of New York City. Which line from the excerpt is an example of the author paraphrasing?

We lived there for three days - Mother and we five children . . .

My sister was indeed momentarily rejected . . .

Most immigrants passed through Ellis Island in about one day.

In the end we did get through.

Read this passage from Through the Looking-Glass. “I always thought they were fabulous monsters!” said the Unicorn. “Is it alive?” “It can talk,” said Haigha, solemnly. The Unicorn looked dreamily at Alice, and said, “Talk, child.” Alice could not help her lips curling up into a smile as she began: “Do you know, I always thought Unicorns were fabulous monsters, too! I never saw one alive before!” “Well, now that we have seen each other,” said the Unicorn, “if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you. Is that a bargain?” “Yes, if you like,” said Alice.

Once upon a time, a mother duckling sat on her eggs with great impatience. How long would it be before they hatched? Finally, one summer day, the mother duckling watched as the eggs cracked, and her cute, yellow ducklings waddled into the world. She was filled with joy until she noticed that one egg, which was larger than all of the others, remained. After many hours, the egg cracked. A large, gray duckling emerged. The mother duck was horrified at the duckling's appearance. The mother duck's only comfort was that the ugly duckling could swim and dive under the water.

As the ugly duckling grew, many animals in the pond criticized him. His feathers were too dark, his neck was too long, and his body was too big. His fellow ducklings refused to recognize that underneath the feathers, the ugly duckling was kind, good, and gentle. The ugly duckling shed many tears because none of the other animals would play with him.

One day, the ugly duckling decided to run far away and find a place where the animals would look past his appearance and be kind and friendly. He came to a pond and sighted three beautiful swans. Their white feathers, long necks, and kind eyes made them look like royalty. The ugly duckling sighed in disappointment. He believed that the swans would never be his friends and looked down into the pond in despair. Then, his eyes opened wide, for he saw his reflection. To his great astonishment, the ugly duckling discovered that he was a beautiful, royal swan! The swans welcomed their new friend, whose lovely appearance was matched only by his kind heart. He now felt like he belonged.

Read the fairy tale The Princess and the Pea.
Once upon a time, there was a handsome prince. The prince lived with his mother and father in a luxurious castle that overlooked a valley of wildflowers and a distant forest. As the prince grew up, he began to long for a princess. However, the prince wanted to be sure that the princess was a real princess. The queen and king searched far and wide for a real princess, but the prince always found something wrong with the princesses they found.
One evening, there was a terrible storm. The wind howled, thunder shook the stone walls, and lightning filled the dark night sky. Through the pelting of the rain, there came a knock at the door. When the king opened the door, he saw a bedraggled girl, soaked to the skin and covered in mud. He ushered her into the castle so that she could warm herself by the fire.
"Why is a young servant girl like you wandering about on such a ferocious night?" queried the king.
The disheveled maiden looked at the king in disbelief. "I am a princess, come to see the prince," she explained, all the while shivering.
The king summoned his wife, the queen, for advice. The queen looked at the hideous creature in disbelief, thinking that no princess would ever allow herself to be found in such a state. She thought quickly and came up with a clever plan. The queen put a small pea at the bottom of a bed and piled twenty mattresses on top of it. When the girl arrived at the room, she had to climb a ladder to reach the top of the bed, where she collapsed in exhaustion.
Bright and early the next morning, the king and queen arrived at the girl's bedchamber. The queen asked the girl how she had slept the night before.
"Absolutely terribly!" bemoaned the maiden. "I have spent the entire night tossing and turning. I don't know whether there is something hard in the bed, or your mattresses are rocks, but my body is black and blue."
The queen and the king stared at the maiden in astonishment. Only a real princess would have such delicate skin that she could feel a pea under twenty mattresses. The queen and king brought her to the prince, who was thrilled to meet a real princess with such an independent spirit.

Passage- As the editor of the student newspaper, I'm very concerned about our participation levels for the upcoming school year. By my calculations, five of our 12 members have graduated and another two have switched schools. In addition, in a recent student survey, only 15 percent listed "writing" or "photography" as interests, which are our two greatest needs.I do have a solution, though. I think that a representative from our club should go around to each of the junior high classrooms and do a short presentation on why students should join the newspaper. This way, students will have a more personal invitation — studies show that people are twice as likely to take part in something when they know someone involved or have been personally asked. Also, I happen to know that both the astronomy club and jazz band have had great success using this classroom-to-classroom approach. In fact, each group nearly doubled its membership by doing so.
