A short story with Snowman, haunted house and beach ball...please help

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

One morning, a 7 year old boy named Trey looks outside of his house. He sees that it's snowing. His face brightens, His heart races, and his hands fumbling to put on his snow gear. Before his hand reaches for the handle of the door, his mother intervenes between both Trey and the door. She says: "Trey I told you to go throw that beach ball away! It's been sitting there since spring! And it's all deflated now." Trey, still happy that he gets to go outside anyway, says: "Yes Ma'm" he goes through the back door into the backyard. He sees the deflated beach ball, but instead decides to make snow man. As his back yard piles up with snow, Trey slowly gets tired and bored. He decides to visit his friend Henry's house to invite him over to play. Trey exits his backyard and onto the sidewalk next to the street. He walks pass several houses before he reaches the end of his neighborhood. As Trey walks up to Henry's house, Trey wonders why Henry would live in such a beat down, dark, old, and scary house. It was 2 stories tall, had 4 windows, 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom, and it was wearing down due to old age. The house looked abandoned. Before Trey could walk in, an old man yells from across the next house: "I wouldn't go in there if I was you! People say it's a haunted house!" Trey walks in anyway.

Excerpt from Her Reply
Sir Walter Raleigh

A Reply To Christopher Marlowe`s "The Passionate Shepherd To His Love".

If all the world and love were young,
And truth in every shepherd`s tongue,
These pretty pleasures might me move
To live with thee and be thy Love.

But Time drives flocks from field to fold;5
When rivers rage and rocks grow cold;
And Philomel becometh dumb;
The rest complains of cares to come.

The flowers do fade, and wanton fields
To wayward Winter reckoning yields:10
A honey tongue, a heart of gall,
Is fancy`s spring, but sorrow`s fall.

Thy gowns, thy shoes, thy beds of roses,
Thy cap, thy kirtle, and thy posies,
Soon break, soon wither - soon forgotten,15
In folly ripe, in reason rotten.

Thy belt of straw and ivy - buds,
Thy coral clasps and amber studs, -
All these in me no means can move
To come to thee and be thy Love.20

But could youth last, and love still breed,
Had joys no date, nor age no need,
Then these delights my mind might move
To live with thee and be thy Love.


A) Life is better when you are old.
Eliminate
B) The shepherd is nice to his love.
C) Life is better when you are young.
D) People often lie to get what they want.

Question 2 (5 points)
Which choice should be placed in the blank to create the most positive connotation?
The aye-aye is one of the most
looking creatures on earth. (5 points)
a
extraordinary
outlandish
b
ОООО
strange
unusual

Answers

Answer:

The aye-aye is one of the most  extraordinary-looking creatures on earth.

Explanation:

Every word has two kinds of meaning:

Denotation - what the word literally means;Connotation - the emotional or cultural association the word carries.

The word that would create the most positive connotation is extraordinary. When we say that something is extraordinary, we think that it's very unusual (in a positive way) or remarkable.

When something is outlandish, it is freakishly strange or odd. The connotation of this word is somewhat negative. When something is strange, it's unusual or difficult to explain, and when something is unusual, it's something that doesn't commonly occur. The words strange and unusual have a relatively neutral connotation.

Thus, the correct option is extraordinary.

“Ich bin ein Berliner”

by John F. Kennedy

Schöneberger Rathaus, West Berlin, July 1963

Two thousand years ago, two thousand years ago, the proudest boast was "civis Romanus sum." Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is "Ich bin ein Berliner." (I appreciate my interpreter translating my German.)

There are many people in the world who really don't understand, or say they don't, what is the great issue between the free world and the Communist world.

Let them come to Berlin.

There are some who say that communism is the wave of the future.

Let them come to Berlin.

And there are some who say, in Europe and elsewhere, we can work with the Communists.

Let them come to Berlin.

And there are even a few who say that it is true that communism is an evil system, but it permits us to make economic progress.

Lass' sie nach Berlin kommen. Let them come to Berlin.

Freedom has many difficulties and democracy is not perfect. But we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in—to prevent them from leaving us….While the wall is the most obvious and vivid demonstration of the failures of the Communist system—for all the world to see—we take no satisfaction in it; for it is, as your Mayor has said, an offense not only against history but an offense against humanity, separating families, dividing husbands and wives and brothers and sisters, and dividing a people who wish to be joined together.

What is true of this city is true of Germany: real, lasting peace in Europe can never be assured as long as one German out of four is denied the elementary right of free men, and that is to make a free choice. In 18 years of peace and good faith, this generation of Germans has earned the right to be free, including the right to unite their families and their nation in lasting peace, with good will to all people….

Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free. When all are free, then we can look forward to that day when this city will be joined as one and this country and this great Continent of Europe in a peaceful and hopeful globe. When that day finally comes, as it will, the people of West Berlin can take sober satisfaction in the fact that they were in the front lines for almost two decades.

All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin.

And, therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words "Ich bin ein Berliner."
Question 1
Part A

What argument does Kennedy make in his “Ich bin ein Berliner” speech?


The oppression that exists under communism is a threat to everyone.

Only those who do not understand communism are forced to live under it.

Communism has many weaknesses that are also present in democracy.

Communism arose in Germany due to the failures of democracy.
Question 2
Part B

Which answer choice presents the most logical reasoning in support of the argument identified in Part A?


"There are some who say that communism is the wave of the future.

Let them come to Berlin."


"...real, lasting peace in Europe can never be assured as long as one German out of four is denied the elementary right of free men..."

"...the people of West Berlin can take sober satisfaction in the fact that they were in the front lines for almost two decades."

"Freedom has many difficulties and democracy is not perfect. But we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in..."

Answers

Answer:

Part A:  C - Comunism has many weaknesses that are also prestnt in democracy.

Part B: D - "Freedom has many difficulties and democracy is not perfect.  But we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in..."

Which statement expresses two themes evident in The Church at Stratford-On-Avon?

Answers

Answer:

A. Death is inescapable; great artistic achievement may persevere and enrich humanity throughout time.  

Explanation:

The poem "The Church at Stratford-On-Avon" by Horatio Alger, Jr. is a short poem about the speaker's time during his visit to the Church at Stratford-On-Avon. This place is famous for it houses the tomb of the great poet William Shakespeare.

In his poem, Horatio declares how "Time but confirms his empire o'er mankind." And in the limited time that we all have, the works of great poets like Shakespeare lives on through their works. "[. . . ] the bones of those that once were kings; Their power has passed, and what remains but clay? While in his grave our Shakespeare lives and sings", reminding everyone how influential the great poet and writer was to humanity, touching the lives of generations even today. On the other hand, kings die and kingdoms crumble, and they become dust, becoming one with the land.

Alger tries to express the themes that while death is an inescapable fact, great artistic achievements do persevere and continue to enrich humanity even for generations to come. Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Answers

Answer: The correct sentence is;

''Before 8 a.m., traffic is light; however, at 5 p.m., Fred always wishes that he drove a bulldozer to push other cars out of his way.''

Explanation:

There should be a semicolon after the word light because this joins the two contrasting clauses (one where traffic is light and the other inferring heavy traffic).

The conjunctive adverb, ''however'' is properly used in the sentence to link the two independent clauses.

How does Gersão plant seeds from the very beginning of the story to indicate
that the bank clerk is destined to return to her “foxy” self?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

In the short story "The Red Fox Fur Coat", author Teolinda Gersão plants seeds from the very beginning indicating that the main character, a humble bank clerk, will return to her "foxy" self.

The bank clerk has awakened her primal self, which is represented by a fox. The narrator first indicates that in the very first paragraph of the story, when the clerk sees the fur coat for sale. She is obsessed with it, thinking "[t]here wasn't another one like it." From this point on, the narrator often describes the bank clerk's appearance, thoughts, feelings, and behavior, all of which are becoming more and more wild. Her senses are sharp; her instincts are vivid. She feels powerful, more energetic. She runs, smells, laughs, eats, enjoys life - everything she does is intense, driven. Bit by bit, the narrator reveals the woman's "foxy" self until she is "reincarnating her body, rediscovering her animal body." There is no way to tell her skin from the skin of the coat; no way to tell the woman from the animal anymore.
