C. I had so many customers nagging me at work today, I almost had
to scream with joy.

What are allusions?
This literary technique is used, particularly in literature, to indicate an indirect allusion. A passing allusion is a reference that does not explicitly identify a person, place, or thing from literature, history, or any other literary work. Alluding to something is the act of referring to something in a vague or oblique manner. For example, Thomas Nashe in his poem, 'Litany in Times of Plague', gives an allusion to Helen of Troy in the lines, "Queens have died young and fair; Dust hath closed Helen's eye". Thus, in Option B, we can see the speaker alluding Merlin to as a friend who has completed homework immediately.

why is ela an important subject?
Answer:
(Answer below) do you have to right an argumentative essay? I’ll give you the first paragraph
Explanation:
I strongly believe to ELA is an important subject because if you think about it, we use it everyday. Theres never a time we wouldn't have to use it. We use ELA when we speak because as we have been taught to speak, we had to learn from reading and writing and listening to others who spoke our same language. ELA helps all of us when it comes to making smart decisions. If we didn’t have anyone to teach us how to speak, write and read, how would we be able to apply for jobs? How would we be able to communicate what we want and what we need?

The Story of the Shepherd’s Visit
Kids Version from Luke 2:8-20 NIrV
There were shepherds living out in the fields nearby. It was night, and they were looking after their sheep.
An angel of the Lord appeared to them. And the glory of the Lord shone around them. They were terrified.
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy. It is for all the people.
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you.”
He is Christ the Lord. Here is how you will know I am telling you the truth.
You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger.”
Suddenly a large group of angels from heaven also appeared. They were praising God. They said,
“May glory be given to God in the highest heaven! And may peace be given to those he is pleased with on
earth!”
The angels left and went into heaven. Then the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem. Let’s see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and the baby. The baby was lying in the manger.

The Starry Night
by A. Gautam
CHARACTERS:
SAMUEL, A middle-aged professor who looks like he has been teaching for centuries
NAGEN, A well-dressed boy who looks nervous and lost
VENUS, An antsy-looking girl dressed in a baseball cap and a torn shirt that looks new
RITCHIE, A dreamy looking young boy with ruffled hair
Stage Set: The outside of a museum. Samuel is leaning on a tree. The students are seated on the grass.
SAMUEL: Well, what was Van Gogh trying to say, really?
VENUS: I thought this was supposed to be a fun trip. You are—like—teaching us outside of class. What's up with that?
NAGEN: If I may, which painting were you referring to, sir?
SAMUEL: Starry Night. The waves in the sky. Imagination and reality. Darn, I am tired as the starry night.
VENUS: There he goes again, into his own little world. Do any of you know when the bus is supposed to pick us up?
NAGEN: I believe it is supposed to come at five. May I ask you a question, miss?
VENUS: Call me Ven. Waiting for the bus will be as fun as the dentist pulling my teeth out.
NAGEN: Ok, Ven. Why didn't the other students come with us?
VENUS: It was optional, dude!
RITCHIE: Nobody cares about art anymore. (to Nagen) Why did you come?
NAGEN: I need to keep busy after school. That is when, Richard, I get the most homesick.
RITCHIE: Call me Ritchie. Where is home for you?
SAMUEL: Who knows really what home is? Why can't people feel at home in art? Why the rush to belong? It does not make a difference if it is a stroke on the canvas or the work of clouds in the sky. To imagine is more important. To imagine the possibilities of the meaning is more beautiful. To find a home in the whole world is possible.
VENUS: Here comes the bus!
NAGEN: It's ————
(All rush to the bus.)
VENUS: Call me Ven. Waiting for the bus will be as fun as the dentist pulling my teeth out.
