Answer:
Dear Mr Welsh,
We were only out here a matter of a few hours before we went into the trenches; we were there for eight days and then came on to what is called a Rest Camp. I suppose it is called that to distinguish it from the trenches because the men are at work all day road and trench making and it comes under both rifle and artillery fire. We got here at 7 o’clock yesterday morning and were shelled at 9 o’clock.
The country is really quite pretty and just like the hills and valleys of South Wales, but there are no brooks or rivers. It rains hard for a month each year usually about this time and then there is no more until the next rainy season. But although it is so gloriously sunny something is wrong with the place and it really isn’t as healthy as it looks. I think the flies have something to do with it as well as the heat and the still unburied dead bodies about. There are millions and millions of flies here and they are all over everything. Put a cup of tea down without a cover and it is immediately covered with dead ones, they are all round your mouth and directly you open it to speak or to eat in they pop. It is a game. We have all got nets of course, we should have been worried, no medicine by now if we hadn’t.
We live in dugouts built up the reverse sides of the hills. They are just holes really, but all the same they can be made very comfortable with a bit of digging and a few waterproof sheets. They are not shell proof by any means and the one I slept in during my first night here was knocked in completely by a shell pitching right into it. Fortunately I was not at home at the time. We have another now and I must try and get a photo of it and let you see what it is like. I must send you one of our
Mess dugout too.
Everything here is named after the Regiment responsible for the making or taking. For instance the road we made from our trenches to this camp is called “New Bedford Rd” and the ridge we took and now occupy is called on the army maps, Bedford Ridge. I have just been filling in and colouring my map and find it is one of the most, if not the most, advanced line of the lot. Standing on that ridge it is possible to see what a lot of country we have taken and now hold, but there is nothing to get wildly excited about. Each position is strengthened as much as possible before another attempt is made to push on and the whole thing is just steady progress. Something might happen suddenly, I only hope it does.
We have had some very big ships out here and they have been bombarding the forts heavily now for some few days, and there are cruisers, monitors etc. standing in the bay helping the land batteries to shell the trenches. You see a flash and then wait a long time before hearing the boom and the shriek of the shell passing over our heads, almost together, then look round quickly and see the burst of the shell in or over the trenches sometimes before hearing the explosion. The first we know of shells aimed at us is the bang of the explosion, and it is too late to get out of the way. Three officers were laid flat on their backs the other day without any hurt except to their dignity and farther on six men were buried without one being injured. It isn’t always like that though.
There is quite good bathing here when we can find time to go. As the beach is in full view of the enemy, and comes under their shell fire, it would not appeal to the nervous. We never keep closer together than ten yards when we are undressing and swimming in hopes that the Turk will not consider one man worth the price of a shell. We have had some casualties through the men keeping too close together, but after washing out of a teacup for a week or more it is worth a bit of risk to get rid of some of the trench dust and smell and feel and look clean again. And really is the best bathing I’ve ever had. The water is quite warm and clear.
All the hospital work is done on board a ship that stands in the bay. If the cases are serious or lengthy they are transferred to one of the hospital ships that calls daily and then go to either one of the bases or back to England. We land troops night or day in spite of the fact that they come under fire so it is possible for a man to be on his way back wounded, by the same ship that bought him from the base, without ever having landed.
We had a grand voyage out. All the officers had either staterooms or 1st Class cabins and the food mostly was just the same as we should have had on an ordinary cruise to India or Australia, wherever it is that the Cruise Line calls. The usual cabin stewards and waiters were in attendance and it was difficult to remember that we were not exactly on a pleasure trip. We did enjoy those two weeks…
Kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
H.W. Cronin, Lieutenant.

Fall of the House of Usher, excerpt
By Edgar Allan Poe
Upon my entrance, Usher rose from a sofa on which he had been lying at full length, and greeted me with a vivacious warmth which had much in it, I at first thought, of an overdone cordiality—of the constrained effort of the ennuyé1 man of the world. A glance, however, at his countenance convinced me of his perfect sincerity. We sat down; and for some moments, while he spoke not, I gazed upon him with a feeling half of pity, half of awe. Surely, man had never before so terribly altered, in so brief a period, as had Roderick Usher! It was with difficulty that I could bring myself to admit the identity of the wan being before me with the companion of my early boyhood. Yet the character of his face had been at all times remarkable. A cadaverousness of complexion; an eye large, liquid, and luminous beyond comparison; lips somewhat thin and very pallid, but of a surpassingly beautiful curve; a nose of a delicate Hebrew model, but with a breadth of nostril unusual in similar formations; a finely moulded chin, speaking, in its want of prominence, of a want of moral energy; hair of a more than web-like softness and tenuity;—these features, with an inordinate expansion above the regions of the temple, made up altogether a countenance not easily to be forgotten. And now in the mere exaggeration of the prevailing character of these features, and of the expression they were wont to convey, lay so much of change that I doubted to whom I spoke. The now ghastly pallor of the skin, and the now miraculous lustre of the eye, above all things startled and even awed me. The silken hair, too, had been suffered to grow all unheeded, and as, in its wild gossamer texture, it floated rather than fell about the face, I could not, even with effort, connect its Arabesque expression with any idea of simple humanity.
In the manner of my friend I was at once struck with an incoherence—an inconsistency; and I soon found this to arise from a series of feeble and futile struggles to overcome an habitual trepidancy—an excessive nervous agitation. For something of this nature I had indeed been prepared, no less by his letter, than by reminiscences of certain boyish traits, and by conclusions deduced from his peculiar physical conformation and temperament. His action was alternately vivacious and sullen. His voice varied rapidly from a tremulous indecision to that species of energetic concision—that abrupt, weighty, unhurried, and hollow-sounding enunciation—that leaden, self-balanced and perfectly modulated guttural utterance.

Read the following line from the text:
The now ghastly pallor of the skin, and the now miraculous lustre of the eye, above all things startled and even awed me.
What does the author mean by startled and even awed in this sentence? (5 points)
Surprised and distressed
Angered and enraged
Offended and insulted
Pleased and comforted
Answer:
Surprised and distressed
Explanation:
The excerpt shown above shows the reaction of the narrator to seeing the state in which Usher was in, which was completely different from what the narrator remembered and in addition, it was an ugly, uncomfortable appearance that left the narrator startled and awed, that is, he left him with a sense of anguish and surprise to see Usher in that state.
"Fall of the House of Usher" is a short story written by Edgar Alan Poe. In this short story we get to know the moment when the narrator decides to visit his friend, Usher, and when he arrives at the house he finds himself in a dark, mysterious and terrifying place that emits an evil and frightening atmosphere, just like Usher himself.

Write an Informational paragraph explaining the consequences of global warming on polar bears. Be sure to try and persuade the American people of ways the polar bear population can be saved. This paragraph needs to include 2 cited facts. This must be a minimum of 8 sentences long. I need the recourses too
Answer:
Global warming is affecting many species on our planet, including polar bears .
Some species can respond to the changing global climate by changing their distribution — the area that a species lives and moves within. For example, many species of birds in North America are moving their distributions northward as the climate changes.
Other species are unable to adjust to changing conditions and therefore become extinct . For example, the golden toad used to be found in the tropical cloud forests of Costa Rica, but are now thought to be extinct. Scientists have collected evidence which shows that the golden toad was probably driven to extinction by climate change , because the forests became too dry for them to survive.
golden toads
The golden toad probably went extinct when the forests became too dry for this species.
As for the polar bears, they spend most of their time on floating sheets of sea ice hunting for their favorite food, seals. But as the Arctic has warmed in recent years, the ice is melting earlier. This gives the bears less time to hunt. So some bears might not be able to build up the fat they need to survive the rest of the year.
We can all contribute to reducing climate change, and therefore help polar bears and other endangered species. A significant cause of climate change is the emission of polluting gases from burning fossil fuels, such as coal and oil. Fossil fuels are burned when we use electricity or drive our cars, among other things.
polar bear on ice floe
The number of polar bears is dropping. Further global warming could threaten the entire species.
Here are just a few important things we can do to help reduce global warming:
Use our cars less (walk or take public transport whenever possible)
Use energy efficient light bulbs (these are available in most household stores — encourage your parents and teachers to buy them!)
Recycle more and avoid products that have lots of packaging.
Turn off electric devices when you're not using them.
All these actions will help reduce the amount of pollution we create. And don't forget, when you get older you will have the opportunity to vote for politicians that support taking action to reduce global warming.

what do you imagine latina food to be like without knowing what it actually tastes like?
Answer:
A burrito with spicy Taco Bell sauce
Explanation:
Answer: I’d imagine it just by looking at it probably. Like, a taco. You could look at what’s in it (peppers, beef, etc.) Then imagine what they taste like. Or, If you haven’t eaten a pepper/beef/cheese before, you could think about where it came from. Like, southern food is kind more cajun, meaning it’s cooked a little longer. Think about how latina food is made. Is it cooked a little shorter? Is it charred a bit?

Does experience define maturity? why or why not?
Answer:
I would personally say no.
Explanation:
I would say that it does not define it because maturity is a stage. It is not something you can have happen otherwise it would be forcing and not actual maturity. Hope this helped <3
Answer:
in my opinion, no because just because you have experience on something doesn't suddenly mean that they are mature. I think its someones personal experiences that make them mature.

What effect does the structure of events have on the reader? How would the effect change if the negative outcomes had been avoided?
Answer:
It effects the reader because the tone in the story can effect their emotions and certain words can have a different effect. The reader becomes more upset and negative when reading about negative things. The reader would feel more positive if the book talked about more positive things because of the same reasons it would effect someone in a negative way; certain tones and words

Which of these statements from the article provides the STRONGEST support for the idea that segregated schools are unfair for poor minority students?
A
The proportion of such schools — where more than 75 percent of children receive free or reduced-price lunches and more than 75 percent are black or Hispanic — climbed from 9 percent to 16 percent during the same period.
B
High-poverty, majority-black and Hispanic schools were less likely to offer a full range of math and science courses than other schools, for example, and more likely to use expulsion and suspension as disciplinary tools, according to the GAO.
C
"Segregation in public K-12 schools isn't getting better; it's getting worse, and getting worse quickly, with more than 20 million students of color now attending racially and socioeconomically isolated public schools," he said in a statement Tuesday.
D
The persistence of racial divisions in the nation's public schools was underscored Friday when a federal judge ordered a Mississippi district to integrate its middle and high schools, capping a legal battle that had dragged on for five decades.
I think it might be B because it's the only one that mentions how these specific schools suffer, but I could be off

Anne of Green Gables
by Lucy Maud Montgomery
Matthew Cuthbert and his sister Marilla had decided to adopt a boy to help on their farm called Green Gables. When a girl, Anne, arrives, they are surprised. In this excerpt, Anne has just awoken after her first night at Green Gables.
Anne could evidently be smart to some purpose for she was down-stairs in ten minutes’ time, with her clothes neatly on, her hair brushed and braided, her face washed, and a comfortable consciousness pervading her soul that she had fulfilled all Marilla’s requirements. As a matter of fact, however, she had forgotten to turn back the bedclothes.
“I’m pretty hungry this morning,” she announced as she slipped into the chair Marilla placed for her. “The world doesn’t seem such a howling wilderness as it did last night. I’m so glad it’s a sunshiny morning. But I like rainy mornings real well, too. All sorts of mornings are interesting, don’t you think? You don’t know what’s going to happen through the day, and there’s so much scope for imagination. But I’m glad it’s not rainy today because it’s easier to be cheerful and bear up under affliction on a sunshiny day. I feel that I have a good deal to bear up under. It’s all very well to read about sorrows and imagine yourself living through them heroically, but it’s not so nice when you really come to have them, is it?”
“For pity’s sake hold your tongue,” said Marilla. “You talk entirely too much for a little girl.”
Thereupon Anne held her tongue so obediently and thoroughly that her continued silence made Marilla rather nervous, as if in the presence of something not exactly natural. Matthew also held his tongue,—but this was natural,—so that the meal was a very silent one.
As it progressed Anne became more and more abstracted, eating mechanically, with her big eyes fixed unswervingly and unseeingly on the sky outside the window. This made Marilla more nervous than ever; she had an uncomfortable feeling that while this odd child’s body might be there at the table her spirit was far away in some remote airy cloudland, borne aloft on the wings of imagination. Who would want such a child about the place?
Yet Matthew wished to keep her, of all unaccountable things! Marilla felt that he wanted it just as much this morning as he had the night before, and that he would go on wanting it. That was Matthew’s way—take a whim into his head and cling to it with the most amazing silent persistency—a persistency ten times more potent and effectual in its very silence than if he had talked it out.
When the meal was ended Anne came out of her reverie and offered to wash the dishes.
“Can you wash dishes right?” asked Marilla distrustfully.
“Pretty well. I’m better at looking after children, though. I’ve had so much experience at that. It’s such a pity you haven’t any here for me to look after.”
“I don’t feel as if I wanted any more children to look after than I’ve got at present. You’re problem enough in all conscience. What’s to be done with you I don’t know. Matthew is a most ridiculous man.”
“I think he’s lovely,” said Anne reproachfully. “He is so very sympathetic. He didn’t mind how much I talked—he seemed to like it. I felt that he was a kindred spirit as soon as ever I saw him.”
“You’re both queer enough, if that’s what you mean by kindred spirits,” said Marilla with a sniff. “Yes, you may wash the dishes. Take plenty of hot water, and be sure you dry them well. I’ve got enough to attend to this morning for I’ll have to drive over to White Sands in the afternoon and see Mrs. Spencer. You’ll come with me and we’ll settle what’s to be done with you. After you’ve finished the dishes go up-stairs and make your bed.”
Anne washed the dishes deftly enough, as Marilla who kept a sharp eye on the process, discerned. Later on she made her bed less successfully, for she had never learned the art of wrestling with a feather tick. But it was done somehow and smoothed down; and then Marilla, to get rid of her, told her she might go out-of-doors and amuse herself until dinner time.

What is a theme of Anne of Green Gables?
Some people can find ways to stay positive under any circumstances.
It's easy to adhere to a decision once one has committed to it.
It's difficult to imagine possibilities when life has been hard.
Children should be given the opportunity to express themselves.

“‘I’m pretty hungry this morning,’ she announced as she slipped into the chair Marilla placed for her.”
“Yet Matthew wished to keep her, of all unaccountable things!”
“‘But I'm glad it’s not rainy today because it’s easier to be cheerful and bear up under affliction on a sunshiny day.’”
“Who would want such a child about the place?”

Answer: Question 1 ) Some people can find ways to stay positive under any circumstances
Question 2) “‘But I'm glad it’s not rainy today because it’s easier to be cheerful and bear up under affliction on a sunshiny day.’”
Explanation: Anne, is in indeed a kindred spirit. She's delightful and outgoing. Her loving nature and bold attitude makes her the light of the room. despite the odds she finds happiness and joy in most anything.
For question 2, Anne expresses her points of view on the mornings weather. Her babbling is actually just her being herself and voicing her own thoughts. This point of view shows, even on a rainy morning she can still find the joy others may lack in seeing.
Hope this is helpful :)
