Read this excerpt from “Poor Harold.”

A room in Washington Square South. By the light of a candle, a young man in tousled hair and dressing gown is writing furiously at a little table. A clock within strikes seven.

A door at the back opens, and a young woman looks in, sleepily. She frowns. The young man looks up guiltily.

SHE. What are you doing?

HE. (innocently) Writing.

SHE. So I see. (She comes in, and sits down. It may be remarked that a woman's morning appearance, in dishabille, is a severe test of both looks and character; she passes that test triumphantly. She looks at the young man, and asks) – Poetry?

HE. (hesitatingly) No. . . .

SHE. (continues to look inquiry).

HE. (finally) A letter. . . .

SHE. (inflexibly) – To whom?

HE. (defiantly) To my wife!

SHE. Oh! That's all right. I thought perhaps you were writing to your father.

HE. (bitterly) My father! Why should I write to my father? Isn't it enough that I have broken his heart and brought disgrace upon him in his old age –

SHE. Disgrace? Nonsense! Anybody might be named as a co-respondent in a divorce case.

HE. Not in Evanston, Illinois. Not when you are the local feature of a notorious Chicago scandal. Not when your letters to the lady are published in the newspapers. – Oh, those letters!

SHE. Were they such incriminating letters, Harold?

HAROLD. Incriminating? How can you ask that, Isabel? They were perfectly innocent letters, such as any gentleman poet might write to any lady poetess. How was I to know that a rather plain-featured woman I sat next to at a Poetry Dinner in Chicago was conducting a dozen love-affairs? How was I to know that my expressions of literary regard would look like love-letters to her long-suffering husband? That's the irony of it: I'm perfectly blameless.

Answer:

Food companies aren't to blame for poor self-image and obesity in young people because there are many different food choice options and tons of representation for every type of person.

Although fast food is very popular and practically everywhere, there are specific stores and resturants (such as Whole Foods) where you can buy healthy food choices. There are even an abundance of great options in grocery stores. It's up to young people to be proactive and choose the right ones, not Food Companies.

Lastly, commercials are very diverse these days. There are different type of people and clothing for everyone to relate to, and as such with food, you have a choice of what to buy and what to see.

THEME: It is better to face your fears than to avoid them.

The author encourages readers to confront their fears rather than avoid them. Martin's fear was able to track him down because he had fled from it.

Evidence:

Martin, a thin 12-year-old (written out and with hyphens). He lives on the 17th floor, is teased at school, and is constantly picked last for teams. He dislikes elevators. Martin's father definitely dislikes him. Martin dreads being alone in an elevator. He also feels nervous in the elevator with others.

The 14th floor elevator introduces the overweight woman. She wears a green blazer and dirty shoes. She fills the elevator entirely. She looks at Martin.

Martin dislikes the overweight woman. And why she's in the building, he wonders. Martin can't decide between the stairs and the elevator. The elevator portrays the big woman, while the stairs reflect his father's frailty. The big woman takes the next train up to the 18th level. Martin is stumped. He fears what will happen if the elevator gets trapped. He wants to go but feels he can't because of her. Martin asks his father about the big woman. His father accuses him of fear.

When Martin sees the overweight woman on his level, he takes the stairs. He trips and falls. He must now take the elevator. Martin takes the elevator with his father to the ninth level. The overweight woman boards the elevator on the tenth level. She calls him out and pushes STOP.

British theater was different from American theater in the colonial era in that: a.) In Great Britain, the theater was enjoyed by all social classes, but it was condemned in some classes in America.

During the 15th and 16th centuries in England, the theatre had become popular among all social classes.

In America, however, this was not the case as the Puritans who were highly religious rejected the theater as they believed that it drew people away from God.

They also believed that the theatre was a distraction that inhibited people's ability to work.

So, option B explains the difference between the theatre in colonial America and Great Britain.

Explanation:

Students should not be permitted to use cell phones in school. Using cell phones during school allows students to cheat. Students will be more distracted by cell phones and pay less attention to the teacher and to the lesson. ... Some students do not use their digital devices for the good that they have, but for the bad.

Answer:

It prevents a student from the proper learning experience.

Explanation:

When students use their cell phones in class to check social media and text their friends, they distract themselves and their peers. The teacher may have to repeatedly tell students to turn off their devices, which can cause disruptions in class. It also can cause students to cheat. Cell phones and other devices are used by one-third of students in high school to cheat. A study found that 41 percent of teens thought storing notes on a cell phone to access them during an exam was a major cheating offense, while 23 percent considered it not to be cheating. Researchers from the London School of Economics found that schools that banned the use of mobile phones saw substantial improvements in test scores, with the researchers concluding that phones “can have a negative impact on productivity through distraction.” They also found that phones disproportionately affected vulnerable students. Richard Murphy, Dr. Richard Murphy is an assistant professor of economics at the University of Texas, and co-author of the study reports: “Allowing phones into schools would be the most damaging to low-achieving and low-income students, exacerbating any existing learning inequality.” Students' ability to learn will be diminished when they use phones during classes. This concludes my briefing.

Answer:

The vertex and focus of parabola lie on its axis.

Points (4,−3) and (4,−1) lie on the line x=4

So, the axis of parabola is the line x=4

Focus of the parabola lies below the vertex. So, the parabola is downwards opening

So, the equation of parabola is (x−4)

=−4a(y+1)

Distance between focus and vertex =−1−(−3)=2

∴a=2

Vertex of parabola is (4,−1)

"For over three centuries a steady stream of men, women and children followed the beacon of liberty which this light symbolizes."

Roosevelt said, "For over three centuries a steady stream of men, women, and children followed the beacon of liberty which this light symbolizes."

From 1933 until his passing in 1945, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, also known by his initials FDR, was a politician and attorney from the United States. He was the 32nd president of the country.

In the first 100 days of the 73rd U.S. Congress, which was in session when the Roosevelt presidency began, there was an unprecedented amount of federal legislative activity. Roosevelt urged the development of initiatives intended to bring about relief, recuperation, and reform.

The majority of the Great Depression was under Roosevelt's leadership as he implemented his New Deal domestic agenda in response to the worst economic catastrophe in American history.

Therefore, Roosevelt said, "For over three centuries a steady stream of men, women, and children followed the beacon of liberty which this light symbolizes."
