Answer:
Simon awakens and finds the air dark and humid with an approaching storm. His nose is bleeding, and he staggers toward the mountain in a daze. He crawls up the hill and, in the failing light, sees the dead pilot with his flapping parachute. Watching the parachute rise and fall with the wind, Simon realizes that the boys have mistaken this harmless object for the deadly beast that has plunged their entire group into chaos. When Simon sees the corpse of the parachutist, he begins to vomit. When he is finished, he untangles the parachute lines, freeing the parachute from the rocks. Anxious to prove to the group that the beast is not real after all, Simon stumbles toward the distant light of the fire at Jack’s feast to tell the other boys what he has seen.
Piggy and Ralph go to the feast with the hopes that they will be able to keep some control over events. At the feast, the boys are laughing and eating the roasted pig. Jack sits like a king on a throne, his face painted like a savage, languidly issuing commands, and waited on by boys acting as his servants. After the large meal, Jack extends an invitation to all of Ralph’s followers to join his tribe. Most of them accept, despite Ralph’s attempts to dissuade them. As it starts to rain, Ralph asks Jack how he plans to weather the storm considering he has not built any shelters. In response, Jack orders his tribe to do its wild hunting dance.
Chanting and dancing in several separate circles along the beach, the boys are caught up in a kind of frenzy. Even Ralph and Piggy, swept away by the excitement, dance on the fringes of the group. The boys again reenact the hunting of the pig and reach a high pitch of frenzied energy as they chant and dance. Suddenly, the boys see a shadowy figure creep out of the forest—it is Simon. In their wild state, however, the boys do not recognize him. Shouting that he is the beast, the boys descend upon Simon and start to tear him apart with their bare hands and teeth. Simon tries desperately to explain what has happened and to remind them of who he is, but he trips and plunges over the rocks onto the beach. The boys fall on him violently and kill him.
The storm explodes over the island. In the whipping rain, the boys run for shelter. Howling wind and waves wash Simon’s mangled corpse into the ocean, where it drifts away, surrounded by glowing fish. At the same time, the wind blows the body of the parachutist off the side of the mountain and onto the beach, sending the boys screaming into the darkness.
Analysis
With the brutal, animalistic murder of Simon, the last vestige of civilized order on the island is stripped away, and brutality and chaos take over. By this point, the boys in Jack’s camp are all but inhuman savages, and Ralph’s few remaining allies suffer dwindling spirits and consider joining Jack. Even Ralph and Piggy themselves get swept up in the ritual dance around Jack’s banquet fire. The storm that batters the island after Simon’s death pounds home the catastrophe of the murder and physically embodies the chaos and anarchy that have overtaken the island. Significantly, the storm also washes away the bodies of Simon and the parachutist, eradicating proof that the beast does not exist.
Jack makes the beast into a godlike figure, a kind of totem he uses to rule and manipulate the members of his tribe. He attributes to the beast both immortality and the power to change form, making it an enemy to be feared and an idol to be worshiped. The importance of the figure of the beast in the novel cannot be overstated, for it gives Jack’s tribe a common enemy (the beast), a common system of belief (their conviction that the mythical beast exists), a reason to obey Jack (protection from the beast), and even a developing system of primitive symbolism and iconography (face paint and the Lord of the Flies).

Sweet land conformity according to a 1991 Issa survey how do Americans feel about putting individual happinesses above the institution of marriage?
Summary:
The lifestyle radicals of the '60s saw themselves as heirs to this American tradition of self-expression; today, it energizes the Tea Party movement, marching to defend individual liberty from the smothering grasp of European-style collectivism. And when it comes to questions about how much the respondents value the individual against the collective that is, how much they give priority to individual interest over the demand of groups, or personal conscience over the orders of authority Americans consistently answer in a way that favors the group over the individual. In fact, we are more likely to favor the group than Europeans are. Surprising as it may sound, Americans are much more likely than Europeans to say that employees should follow a boss's orders even if the boss is wrong; to say that children "must" love their parents; and to believe that parents have a duty to sacrifice themselves for their children. Though Americans do score high on a couple of aspects of individualism, especially where it concerns government intervening in the market, in general, we are likelier than Europeans to believe that individuals should go along and get along.
What is the correct way to write sentence 10? Answer choices for the above question As of today television is immediately off-limits for a week—in fact, consider yourself "unplugged" from ALL electronics, which should help you focus on your homework." As of today, television is immediately off-limits for a week—in fact, consider yourself "unplugged" from ALL electronics which should help you focus on your homework." As of today, television is immediately off-limits, for a week—in fact, consider yourself "unplugged" from ALL electronics, which should help you focus on your homework." As of today, television is immediately off-limits for a week, in fact, consider yourself "unplugged" from ALL electronics, which should help you focus on your homework."
Answer:
" As of today, television is immediately off-limits, for a week—in fact, consider yourself "unplugged" from ALL electronics, which should help you focus on your homework."
Explanation:
The above chosen answer is more correctly punctuated than any other sentence from the options.
There should be a comma after "As of today" and also after "off-limits"(since the person adds "for a week" as additional information)
"in fact" should have a hyphen before it as it shows continuation of thought which is still part of the sentence. Notice that "ALL" is capitalized to indicate emphasis

Class conflict is the political tension and economic antagonism between two or more different social classes usually as a result of socio-economic competition.
One of the best examples would be France in the late 1700's, where the difference between the socio-economic status of the king, nobles and clergy created a conflict that would end up with the lower classes rising up and starting a revolution.

What is ironic about the pigs' activities in this excerpt? They fail to notice that other animals are watching them. They had previously planted barley in order to make beer. They changed the rules to allow drinking in a limited quantity. They prohibited alcohol when they took control of the farm.
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
The pigs appeared completely at ease in their chairs. The company had been enjoying a game of cards but had broken off for the moment, evidently in order to drink a toast. A large jug was circulating, and the mugs were being refilled with beer. No one noticed the wondering faces of the animals that gazed in at the window.
What is ironic about the pigs' activities in this excerpt? They fail to notice that other animals are watching them. They had previously planted barley in order to make beer. They changed the rules to allow drinking in a limited quantity. They prohibited alcohol when they took control of the farm.
Answer:
They prohibited alcohol when they took control of the farm.
Explanation:
When the pigs took control of the making they stipulated rules, which, according to them, allowed the welfare of the animals. Among these rules was the prohibition of alcoholic beverages by animals, since this type of drink was human behavior and animals repudiated anything that came from human beings. However, even forbidding alcohol, the pigs drank it because they did what they wanted, besides being as tyrannical as humans.

The first option is also incorrect. It separates the subject but not the two ideas of the sentence.
The second sentence is the correct option it separates the subject, adverbial phrase and the predicate in the given sentence.
Eliana Rodriguez, ( subject)
who teaches biology, ( adverbial phrase teaches biology)

Hunger Games question 4:
focus on the first 3 paragraphs of this extract, from "sixty seconds" to "meant for me".
a student said, the writer manages to convey a sense of urgency in this extract.
To what extent do you agree (20 marks)
in your response you could:
- write about your impressions of this moments
- evaluate how the writer creates a sense of drama
- support your opinions with reference to the text
Answer:
In this extract, the writer definitely manages to convey a sense of urgency.
Explanation:
This moment in the book puts too much tension on us readers, as well as on the main character, Katniss.
Sixty seconds is all the time she has to plan how to get weapons, food, and at the same time watch that no one kills her in the attempt. Time is so little, and it is so incredible that it even repeats it more than once to give emphasis.
The drama is present since the protagonist could die at that exact moment, and also because she really needs that bow and arrow with which she is so good. They are weapons she needs to avoid dying later.
In this way, we can agree with the student's statement that "the writer manages to convey a sense of urgency in this extract."

This shows how all men are not the same, people with different skin color, religion, beliefs, ect. are still fighting for their rights to this day. This is upsetting because I believe that everyone is supposed to be equal.
There are many ways people have been fighting for freedom. There is TV, music, the news, and even social media. Social media is the most effective way for people to get their word out because there are a lot of people on different media platforms. But there are not always going to be people who believe in what you are trying to say and can be very hurtful.
The fight for freedom is never going to stop because not everyone is going to have the same beliefs. This shows that stuff from the past is always going to be recurring into the future.
