Answer:
B. setting
Explanation:
"A Big Mistake" is a short story written by Stephen Crane.
An Italian vendor holds a fruit stand on the corner of the street. This stand with all its goods draws the attention of an unexpected spectator, a baby, who seems enchanted by all the delicious fruits placed on the stand. But, at the same time, the baby is afraid of the Italian, and finds itself torn between this fear and the attraction to the fruits.
The sentence from the story describes the Italian's fruit-stand, or at least, the baby's depiction of it. Since the stand is the where the story, the plot and the climax of the story take place, it's description represents the setting of the story.
Read the excerpt from Thomas Paine’s work “The Crisis” No. 1. Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but “to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER,” and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. . . .
. . . Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils; and as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds the king of Britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house-breaker, has as good a pretence as he.
The words “slavery,” “devils,” and “murderer” evoke a sense of
anger and injustice.
fear and anxiety.
confusion and chaos.
guilt and shame.
Answer:
A. anger and injustice
Explanation:
The main purpose of Thomas Paine's "The American Crisis", or, to be more precise, its Pamplet No 1 was to list all the reasons that justify the fight against the tyrant Britain.
Written in the period of American War for Independence, it was well recieved among people and encouraged them to take actions.
Dealing with Britain's injustice treatment of America, this pamphlet compares their relation to the one of slaveholder and slave and using those specific words it enhances the feeling of anger directed to denying rights, mistreatment, exploitation of resources, paying high taxes and limiting people's freedom.
Answer:
(A) anger and injustice.
Explanation:
and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. . . .
. . . Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils; and as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds the king of Britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house-breaker, has as good a pretence as he.

Climate change in South Florida essay.
Answer:
Climate change has become one of the most severe threats to our environment. This is not an exception for Florida, where the sea level is rising at least one inch a decade. Needless to say, there are heavy rainstorms, and the temperatures are rising.
In South Florida, the land surface is continuously sinking and there is a huge risk of coastal flooding. In order to prevent it from happening, cities such as West Palm Beach, located on the coast, need to build seawalls and elevate their structure.
Moreover, climate change in Florida greatly influences its agriculture. Extremely high temperatures negatively influence the yields of sugar, peanuts, corn and other food items. On the other hand, hotter temperatures are favorable for citrus trees growth during winter.
Last but not least, high temperatures negatively affect people's health. People with health issues, the elderly, and even children have no benefit from this kind of weather. According to the estimates, there has been an increase in cardiovascular diseases in Florida due to humidity and dehydration.
In conclusion, climate change is a very serious problem in South Florida and should be addressed as such. People need to raise their awareness of this issue, so as to protect themselves and their environment from the floods and health issues that come with such climate.

The Ramayana, like Homer's Odyssey, is an epic poem that recounts the adventures of a hero who goes into exile and eventually returns home to regain his rightful throne. While away from the place of the familiar, Rama and Odysseus meet strangers who help or threaten them, who endow them with powers or test their strength and virtue. Consider the many similarities between Rama and Odysseus. What makes them both epic heroes? How do their encounters with the unfamiliar or their wanderings test and help to form their characters? Do they display love in similar or different ways?
Answer:
There are lots of similarities between the two characters, but also so many differences
Explanation:
First of all we can mention that both stories The Odissey and The Ramayan are stories that come after a war story such as The Iliad and The Mahabharata.
Both stories are focused on the main character's journeys. Both stories mention and represent, nor only their journeys but also their relationship with their wives.
Both characters show duty and honor, they show courage.
Both wives, Penelope and Sita are the image of a perfect and loyal wife, who always waits for her husband and respects her relationship.
However, they have some differences, because Ramma can be seen as an exceptional husband, he respects his wife and never cheats on her, on the other hand, Odysseus is not like that, he cheated on his wife with Calypso. We can say that Rama is the ideal man, but Odysseum is more realistic.

Jem matures into a young man who cares about other people and no longer fears neighborhood monsters.
At the beginning of the book, Jem is still very much a child. He enjoys playing make-believe games with his Scout and Dill. He fears Boo Radley. He is a sensitive and intelligent boy, but, at age ten, he is still a boy.
Like Scout, Jem has to grow up during the Tom Robinson trial. He struggles to find himself and his place in the world. For example, when Jem runs away from the Radley house and loses his pants, he does not want to tell Atticus where they are. He is not afraid of being punished, worrying instead that Atticus will think badly of him.
Jem develops empathy for Boo Radley before Scout does. He realizes Boo put the blanket on Scout’s shoulders during the fire and mended his pants for him. Jem pleads with Atticus not to tell anyone, as he does not want Boo to get in trouble, as evident in this quote from Chpater 8:
Mr. Nathan put cement in that tree, Atticus, an‘ he did it to stop us findin’ things—he’s crazy, I reckon, like they say, but Atticus, I swear to God he ain’t ever harmed us, he ain’t ever hurt us, he coulda cut my throat from ear to ear that night but he tried to mend my pants instead… he ain’t ever hurt us, Atticus.
During the trial, Jem feels very involved in the process. He is old enough to follow the proceedings, but still naïve enough to think Tom Robinson will be acquitted. Jem follows the evidence, not the way people actually think. He feels cheated when Robinson is convicted. This is the first time he really understands racism.
Scout and Jem begin to grow apart as Jem enters junior high. He eats a lot, is moody, and shows her new places on his body where hair is growing. He also tries to make Scout mind him, and Atticus says she has to when he can make her.
When Jem is attacked by Bob Ewell and breaks his arm at the end of the book, all Jem cares about is that he can still play football. Jem wanted Atticus to stand up to Bob Ewell, and did not understand why he would not carry a gun. That was just Atticus’s way. At the end of the novel, Jem is twelve-years-old, almost a teenager.
In at least 150 words, tell how the daughter changes over the course of the story
WRITER
I've found online that this question refers to Amy Tan's short story "Two Kinds".
Answer and explanation:
In "Two Kinds", Jing-Mei changes from a child who wants to obey and please her mother to a young woman who is not willing to be controlled.
At the beginning, Suyuan, Jing-Mei's mother, wishes her daughter would become a child prodigy. Jing-Mei goes along with it since she thinks she would enjoy being the center of attention. That is also a way to make her mother happy and proud of her. They try Americanize Jing-Mei's looks and find a talent for her. In the end, piano is chosen.
Jing-Mei, however, lacks the perseverance to become a prodigy. She is overcome by laziness when she realizes hard work is necessary to learn to play. She performs terribly at a piano recital, to everyone's embarrassment. Yet, her mother does not give up, very much to Jing-Mei's surprise. That is the moment when their individualities clash. Jing-Mei finally realizes she no longer wishes to please Suyuan by becoming whatever is expected of her. She is her own independent self. To make sure she is never again controlled by her mother, she chooses to remain average for the rest of her life.
Answer:
From the onset, the daughter had desired to grow up to her mother's anticipation. She, at all times kept doing her best and after she did win her mother wasn't well pleased. She came to the reality that it is impossible to satisfy her mother and make up to her anticipation to grow into the Chinese Shirley Temple. It lead her to get out of the line and take her own decisions and course in life. Rather than doing her best to please her mother she decided to make please herself! She got out of the line in opposing her mother's desires since she it would be difficult to please her mother. She had wished to be happy in life and enjoy freedom, it came to her mind that it is not possible to attain happiness if she was always working on pleasing her mother. In summary, from the onset of the story, all she had desired was to satsisfy her mother, but as time goes on, at the last phase, she opted to going against the line and making her own course in life.
Can someone help me write sentences for these patterns? Pattern A: Subject + comma + nonessential clause + comma + verb + object
Pattern B: Subject + essential clause + verb + object
Pattern C: Introductory phrase + comma + nonessential word + comma + subject + verb + object
Pattern D: Subject + verb + object + comma + nonessential phrase
Explanation:
First, a quick recap:
Nonessential elements of a sentence are words, set of words (phrases) or clauses that can be left out of the sentence without altering its meaning, unlike the essential elements which have opposite feature.
Introductory phrase is a set of words that provides setting for a sentence.
So, for example, we could say:
A: William Shakespeare, famous writter, wrote many plays.
B: The dog that I found by the river hates swimming.
C: On monday morning, luckily, I found my keys.
D: I visited Paris, the capital of France.
Note that nonessential elements are always separated by commas.

Identify two rhetorical devices Lincoln used in his "Gettsburg Address." Include examples from the speech of each device.
Answer:
Explanation:
An allusion is a reference to an event, a person, or literature that the speaker finds relevant to the issues he explores. Lincoln begins his address with a double allusion: “Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that ‘all men are created equal.’” The speaker frequently uses contrasts in his address, also known as antithesis. Contrasts are known to attract audiences and to make them pay more attention to what speakers are saying as they move back and forth between opposing ideas. One example of antithesis is: “as a final resting place for those who died here, that the nation might live.” Hope that helps!!!
Paraphrase the following lines from Dunbar's "We Wear the Mask": "With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, / And mouth with myriad subtleties."
Explanation:
"We Wear a Mask" is famous Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem.
It deals with the status of African-American community in the late 1800s. Using "we" in the title of the poem, he gives it a personal note emphasizing that he is tha part of the community too.
Mask suggests hiding their real feelings, just like the mask hides the face. These lines suggest pretending to be happy in order to fit in, because showing real emotions falls on deaf ears and brings about lack of understanding. More precisely, these lines show that this methaphoric mask hides their pain and sadness ("torn and bleeding hearts") and hides the words they would express this with, replacing it with things other want to hear ("myriad subtleties").

What is a common theme of the Theater of the Absurd? A. Purposelessness
B. Hope
C. Injustice
D. Love
Answer:
A. Purposelessness.
Explanation:
The genre of literary writing that emerged from after the Second World War, in which a group of absurdist writers began to write about the absurdity of human situation. Primarily beginning among the European and American dramatists, these drama writers seem to agree with Albert Camus' "The Myth of Sisyphus", which mostly stressed about the uselessness of human life.
Famous writes of this genre include Samuel Beckett (Waiting for Godot), Eugene Ionesco (Rhino), Jean Genet (The Balcony) etc. All of these plays for the "Theatre of the Absurd" genre deals or lays emphasis on the purposelessness of a man's life and life in general. The major elements that are deployed or used in this type of genre are the anti-character, anti- plot etc, while all trying to present a serious issue in a comic tone. This theatrical movement was unusual, quite different from the regular "normal" forms of stories or plays ion it's depiction of what life is really like- a purposeless, useless, meaningless world.
Answer:
A. Purposelessness
