Answer:
The Outsiders is a coming of age novel that depicts the difficulties of growing up. To be sure it is tragic with the death of two character (Bob and Johnny), but it is a far cry from real gangs in many American cities. Moreover, there is a basic goodness to the novel, which real gangs lack.
Explanation:
For example the wars between gangs like the Bloods and Crips is far worse with hundreds killed. Moreover, the collateral damage is far greater as many innocent people get killed as well. According to estimates there are over 30,000 member in the Crips.These gangs are also organized in their crime with the selling of drugs and other illegal activities.
The newer gangs also have systematic ways to exhort money and they traffic people - a modern form of slave trade. Modern day gangs, in a word, are far worse.

Think about the problem Elijah described at the beginning of the lesson. He needs to take steps to analyze the problem more deeply and to try to solve it. Have you ever had a problem that you needed to analyze in order to solve it? Describe the problem. Then explain the steps you took to solve it. Were you satisfied with the solution? Write your response in about 100 to 150 words.
Answer and Explanation:
1. I already had a problem that I had to analyze many things to solve it. This problem happened when my parents separated and I had to choose whether to live with my mom or dad. This decision seemed to be a problem for me because it had many elements at stake and my decision, whatever it was, could promote advantages and disadvantages for me.
2. To solve this problem, I had to first talk to each of my parents, to make sure they wanted me to live with them. In addition, I needed to talk to them so that each one would not be upset by my decision. Then I analyzed every advantage and disadvantage that each decision would impose on my life. After that, I assessed which decision had the most advantage and whether those advantages outweighed the disadvantages. After that I made my decision.
3. I decided to live with my mother and I did not regret it, although I see my father often. Despite a few disadvantages living with my mother is satisfactory, which shows that I made the right decision, thanks to the steps I took to make the decision.

How are they alike?
Hi there, I am looking for information about how to use Up,Off,Out,Down,and away and phrase verbs please like Call up or even Cleaning up like those verbs please help to explain how can i use and where I need to use please.
Answer:
This is actually quite tricky.
In the simplest form, they are most commonly used with verbs of motion. An example would be "Climbing down" or "Putting away". Usually, many of these would be able to connect with said verb (Climbing Up/Down/Off).
Granted, while some can be used after a verb with no problem, other combinations need further additions to the idea, otherwise they become ungrammatical.
For example:
While some may need additions (Usually by adding nouns after the preposition):
"I walked up" -Ungrammatical
"I walked up the staircase. -Grammatical
Others will do fine without any, as they express a complete idea:
"I cleaned up" -Grammatical
"I cleaned up the house" -Grammatical
There are even irregulars. These ones modify the meaning in slightly different ways.
"Cool off/down"
"warm up"
Then the weirder ones that may be rephrased and would still be grammatical such as:
"I ran up the stairs"
"I ran the stairs up"
You may even want to play with prepositions vs. phrasal verbs such as:
"He ran up a hill" (up is a preposition)
"He ran up a big bill" (ran up is a phrasal verb)
Granted, while these may not have been possible before, the rule of language is that its interpretation is based on what the vast majority view it as.
While there are some rules you might be able to follow, some of it just depends on semantics.
Arrange the events of the big bang in sequential order.
Answer: 1. The universe comes into existence as a single point.
It is considered that the universe was created as a very hot and dense and as a single point in space.
2. The universe begins expanding, and nuclear forces develop.
The four fundamental forces: electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, strong nuclear force and gravity were formed.
3. Atomic nuclei form.
Universe started to expand, became cooler and less dense. Protons and neutrons collided to make deuterium - an isotope of hydrogen
4. Hydrogen fuses into helium.
Formed deuterium atoms combined to form helium.
5. The first neutral atoms form
When matter in the universe cooled enough, electrons combined with nuclei to form neutral atoms
6. The universe is transparent.
In the phase "recombination," the absorption of free electrons caused the universe to become transparent.
7. Gases form that will later go on to shape the stars and galaxies.
This is the phase of reionization, where gases collapsed enough to form the very first stars and galaxies.

Please answer quickly!! Read the following lines from "The Human Drift and define the words in bold. Use context clues to determine the meanings
1. These migratory movements of peoples have been called drifts, and the word is apposite
2. Retreating before stronger breeds, hungry and voracious, the Eskimo has drifted to the inhospitable polar regions
3. Perhaps most amazing has been the South Sea Drift Blind, fortuitous, precarious as no other drift has been
Answer:
1. These migratory movements of peoples have been called drifts, and the word is apposite.
Apposite: is an adjective that means suitable or to the point.
2. Retreating before stronger breeds, hungry and voracious, the Eskimo has drifted to the inhospitable polar regions.
Voracious: is an adjective that means insatiable, that the person or animal eats a lot.
3. Perhaps most amazing has been the South Sea Drift Blind, fortuitous, precarious as no other drift has been
Fortuitous: is an adjective that means that something that was not planned happened. It happened by chance.
Explanation:
All the words are adjectives that are modifying a noun.
We can deduce the meaning of the word apposite because it refers to the name that migratory movement has, and if we think about drift, we conclude that apposite means suitable.
We can know the meaning of voracious mainly because it is with hungry, and it is referring to strong breeds, which is a word that can be related to ingesting large quantities of food.
We can know what fortuitous means by analyzing the context where it says that it was amazing and as no other drift has been. It happened by chance, was unpredictable and astonishing.
Answer:
Apposite- relevant, applicable
Voracious- extreme appetite or hunger
Fortuitous- random/by chance,
Precarious- uncertain/dangerous

Read the sentence from “Initiation.”
And from that time on, initiations didn't bother Millicent at all.
Which revision of this sentence best uses direct characterization?
Millicent’s tense posture evaporated, replaced by a genuine smile.
Upon reflection, Millicent realized that initiations didn’t really bother her.
Thereafter, Millicent said yes to each initiation task without question.
Millicent found that handling the tasks was much easier than she’d thought.
Answer:
Millicent’s tense posture evaporated, replaced by a genuine smile.
Explanation:
In literature, the term characterization refers to the process in which a writer creates and describes their characters. There are two main types of characterization:
Direct characterization - the writer explicitly describes the character.Indirect characterization - we find out more about the character through their actions, thoughts, appearance, interaction with other characters.The revision of the given sentence that best uses direct characterization is the first one. The writer directly describes Millicent's posture. In the rest of the options, we can see Millicent's thoughts, words, and actions. This is how indirect characterization works, which is why these options are incorrect.

Dad is as strong as an ox . My brother is a couch potato these days. My best friend holds me up like a rock . She sings like a bird . Metaphors or Similes
Answer:
Metaphors: His voice was a cannon shot in the silence. Dad is as strong as an ox. She sings like a bird .
Similes: My brother is a couch potato these days. My best friend holds me up like a rock .
Explanation:
Both the metaphor and the simile are figures of speech that promote subjective comparisons between two elements in the same sentence, however these comparisons have different relationships. The comparisons formed by the metaphor, relate two terms that have something in common, where one "lends" its meaning to the other term. The simile, however, makes comparisons between two terms that have nothing in common, but that can present a new meaning to this relationship between them.

Unlike independent clauses, dependent clauses can't stand alone because they lack at least one of these elements.
A compound sentence is a sentence that consists of at least two independent clauses connected by a comma, conjunction, or semicolon.
A complex sentence is a sentence that consists of one independent clause and at least one dependent clause.
Based on this information, we can conclude that the given passage contains two compound sentences and one complex sentence. The first two sentences are compound sentences. Each of them consists of two independent clauses. The third one is a complex sentence that consists of one independent and one dependent clause.
write a letter to your class teacher expressing your views about online teaching
Answer:
Dear miss _____, as I learn more and experience online schooling I think it is better. With online schooling you are able to sleep in rather than waking up early to go to school, you don’t have to worry about the weather or what to wear because you are at home, and you also get to eat whenever you want rather than having to wait for lunch to start. So overall I think that online schooling is better than public education.

C. Nicholas was so hungry he would

Answer: B. Nicholas was not happy with his aunt for her treatment of him and did not want to help her out.
Explanation:
In 'The Lumber-Room’ by Saki, we see a mischievous boy named Nicholas as he tries to out-wit his aunt who had refused him going on a trip with other children because he had refused to eat his breakfast which he claimed had a frog in it.
When she was trapped in the rain-water tank, Nicholas refused to help her out and instead toyed with her to the point of exasperation and still does not let her out because he was unhappy with the way she had treated him.
