Answer:
It is important to work hard at something in order to improve.
Explanation:
Both texts explain the importance of hardwork to improve at something and become successful at it later.

He admits that hardwork was required to get better at the language and that sometimes he failed but had to continue believing in himself.
President Obama also encouraged the school children to work hard in their studies.

Splintered whole (this is an example of an oxymoron - 2 words that seem to be antonyms but are used together) How does this oxymoron further Quindlen's purpose? (4)
Answer:
Explanation:
An oxymoron is a figure of speech containing words that seem to contradict each other. It's often referred to as a contradiction in terms. As with other rhetorical devices, oxymorons are used for a variety of purposes. Sometimes they're used to create a little bit of drama for the reader; sometimes they're used to make a person stop and think, whether that's to laugh or to wonder.
A common oxymoron is the phrase "the same difference." This phrase qualifies as an oxymoron because the words "same" and "difference" have opposite meanings. Bringing them together into one phrase produces a verbally puzzling, yet engaging, effect.

Answer:
Juliet would like to please her mother by considering marrying Paris, suggesting she is obedient and trustful of her parents' judgments. Romeo, by contrast, is wildly romantic in his despair over Rosaline which immediately dissipates when he lays eyes on Juliet. Juliet, transformed by the love she feels from their first meeting, becomes more like Romeo: passionate and willing to do anything to be with the person she loves.

In at least 250 words, choose two literary devices used in "Rip Van Winkle," and describe how they're both used to develop one of the themes in the short story.
Answer:
Rip Van Winkle’s timely twenty-year sleep resulted in his missing the American Revolution altogether. Rip stands as a relic of the past. He is an example of the simple, idle, and gentle villager. The village moves on to become bustling, crowded, and disputatious during his absence. There is a large contrast between the village Rip leaves and the village he returns to twenty years later. This contrast suggests how Irving views the clash between the traditional and the modern. The village and its villagers are portrayed as markedly altered after Rip’s twenty year departure. To Rip’s mind, some of those alterations are for the worse.
