"One Today"—excerpt
by Richard Blanco

One sun rose on us today, kindled over our shores,
peeking over the Smokies, greeting the faces
of the Great Lakes, spreading a simple truth
across the Great Plains, then charging across the Rockies.
One light, waking up rooftops, under each one, a story
told by our silent gestures moving across windows.

Blanco creates a sense of common experience using which of the following elements in the first stanza? (4 points)

Creating interest in the oppression of people's day
Emphasizing the active and lively movement of the sun
Suggesting each household has a story
Stating the sun belongs exclusively to this continent

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Suggesting each household has a story.

Explanation:

The poem "One Today" by Richard Blanco was the inaugural poem at the time of the second inauguration of President Barack Obama in 2013. The poem is a celebration of the shared American experience of diverse people from different cultures and backgrounds.

In the poem, Blanco unifies everyone under "one sun", "one light". He went on to create a sense of common experience by suggesting that each household, under "one light" has a story to tell. This common quality of different families telling our stories through "our silent gestures moving across windows" is what makes America great too.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

Answers

Answer: To not show bias or favoritism on both sides of the issue, the student must make sure to treat each side equally--to an equal or uniform degree. Being bias means being one-sided and only inclined to one side. Therefore, in order to avoid biases, the student must be objective enough when considering both sides of the issue.

Laurel woke up to the sound of her banging alarm. She was startled, but excited to start her first day of middle school. Her outfit was ready, and her lunch was packed. She even bought new pens and notebooks for the new school year.


As she sat on the bus in her new clothes, she started to feel nervous. What if she didn’t like her teachers? What if middle school was too hard? What if she didn’t have anyone to sit with at lunch? Laurel could feel her stomach churning with fear. Then at the next stop, her best friend, Norma, got on the bus. As Norma sat right next to her, Laurel knew everything would be okay as long as she had her best friend.

Answers

Explanation:

The resolution of this story is; Laurel calming down due to her friends appearance.

The story begins with Laurel getting ready and prepared for school. (Sort of like a prologue) A prologue explains the setting and idea of the story, it could also introduce the main character who is Laurel. Then comes the "climax". The climax is the highest point in the story, it mainly leads to the resolution. Laurel sat on the bus and began worrying, would her teachers like her? Who would she sit with at lunch? Then we revisit the resolution, "As Norma sat right next to her, Laurel knew everything would be okay".

Answers

Hey love! <3

Answer:

A prepositional phrase that would work for your statement is In the United States, Halloween candy sales are around $2 billion.

Explanation:

Prepositional phrases are sentences beginning with a 'preposition' (In, before, after, at, etc.)

Once we state where the scenario is occurring, or what the subject of the statement is, we can pull the sentence together with ease. The subject of this sentence is the united states.

Thus, In the United States, Halloween candy sales are around $2 billion.

In = Preposition

United States = Subject

Answers

Answer:

The rhetorical appeal found in the excerpt is:

C. pathos, because it appeal to audience's feelings of unity and patriotism.

Explanation:

What Churchill is basically saying in the passage is that England will not surrender. That the English people will keep on fighting, even if other countries are being defeated. He does not talk of himself and his qualifications as a leader. He does not explain military tactics or preparations. In this passage, he does not present an argument against Germany. All he does is appeal to his audience's emotions. He makes use of repetition quite efficiently to do so: "We shall". He does not say "I", or "you", it's always "we", helping create a sense of unity. He speaks of strength, of confidence, of endurance and resilience. Having that in mind, the best option is letter C. pathos, because it appeal to audience's feelings of unity and patriotism.
