- Why does the speaker name so many kinds of workers?

- What is the effect of these references?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Why does the speaker name so many kinds of workers?

In his poem "I Hear America Singing", Walt Whitman mentions several kinds of workers:  the mason, the carpenter, the seamstress, the shoemaker, and so on. The reason behind this is that the author is trying to make sure he is representing America's working class and its beautiful variety of professions in this poem. Of course, he cannot mention each and every profession there is, but he does speak of so many in an attempt to make workers feel represented, seen.

What is the effect of these references?

Those references value each individual's hard work. This poem is, after all, a celebration of each person's uniqueness, a homage to their building America with their own hands. Whitman wants to convey the message that it is the working class that makes this country a wonderful place to live in. It is their hard work that makes America such a beautiful nation.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Now, something had been happening there a little before, which I did not know anything about until a good many days afterwards, but I will tell you about it now. Those two old brothers had been having a pretty hot argument a couple of days before, and had ended by agreeing to decide it by a bet, which is the English way of settling everything.

Explanation:

Satire is the use of humor or irony in one's figure of speech in order to criticize the characteristics or to ridicule or expose a person's actions especially in political scenes. Mark Twain, in his "The The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" tells of an occurrence-

Those two old brothers had been having a pretty hot argument a couple of days before, and had ended by agreeing to decide it by a bet, which is the English way of settling everything.

This is a satire in that it criticizes and ridicules the efforts of the two brothers in settling their "hot argument' by betting, which according to him, "is the English way of settling everything".

Explanation:

After watching "The Lost Boys of Sudan" Feature Film and reading the article on "The Lost Boys of Sudan", provide an argument explaining the effectiveness of one of the sources over the other. Provide at least two pieces of evidence from EACH source to support your responses.

Answers

Answer:

The feature film is a more efficient source.

Explanation:

While both sources are effective in portraying the suffering and dangerous life that the lost boys in Sudan have had to endure, the feature film does this more efficiently. This is because, the feature film presents itself as a less tiring source to be absorbed, since watching can be more attractive and less tiring than reading, at certain times. In addition, the article encourages reasoning and the creation of mental images through the words and facts presented in the text. However, in the feature film the images are already created and presented to the viewer who does not need to reason, because the information has already been delivered ready.

In this case, the feature film is more efficient because it promotes practicality of thought, in addition to providing mental images.

1. What is an editor-in-chief? What does this person do for a news source?
2. What is a copy editor? What does this person do for a news source?
3. What is plagiarism? How can journalists avoid plagiarism?
4. What is a style guide?
5. What is fabrication? Why should journalists avoid this?

Answers

Answer:

1)An editor-in-chief is the manager of any print or digital publication, from physical newspapers to online magazines. The editor-in-chief determines the look and feel of the publication, has the final say in what is published and what isn't, and leads the publication's team of editors, copyeditors, and writers.

2)Editors strive to make the text of newspaper articles, magazine features, and books error free. Copy editors edit for mistakes in spelling, punctuation, and grammar. They also check a manuscript for form, length, and completeness.

3)Do Your Own Reporting: The easiest way to avoid plagiarism is by doing your own reporting. That way you avoid the temptation to steal information from another reporter's story, and you'll have the satisfaction of producing work that is entirely your own

4)A style guide is a document that provides guidelines for the way your brand should be presented from both a graphic and language perspective. The purpose of a style guide is to make sure that multiple contributors create in a clear and cohesive way that reflects the corporate style and ensures brand consistency with everything from design to writing.

5)Fabrication in news publishing can take many forms, from creating sources and embellishing stories to making quotes sound different from what was actually said. Here are some best practices to avoid fabrication from Geanne Belton, Ruth Hochberger and Jane Kirtley, journalists and educators who are the authors of the Poynter course on avoiding plagiarism and fabrication.

Be a stickler for accuracy. Develop and maintain guidelines and high standards for accuracy in the facts you report.

Explanation:

Answer:

Editor - in - cheif is someone that gets the sources for the news.

Copy editor is someone who plagorises.

Plagiarism is someone that gives false information

Step 2: Those slow down parts are syllables. (Re...mem...ber...ance)

Step 3: As you find those words make sure you don't over-say them. For example: Wheel. You don't say Wheel with more than one syllable because it sounds weird and is not grammatically correct.

Read the paragraph. Then answer the question that follows.

Perhaps you wanted pizza for dinner, but were out voted by the rest of the family who wanted chili. This is similar to what happens in a community. One person has to give up a right for the good of the group. Sometimes citizens' duties and rights conflict with each other. A good example is a public protest. People have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe. Therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. Government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people.

Which of the following statements best describes this paragraph? (5 points)

The paragraph describes the purpose of laws in a community but lacks the use of any text connections.
The paragraph describes a simple comparison between a family protest and a community protest.
The paragraph uses categories of comparison to judge whether individual or group rights are most important.
The paragraph uses the analogy of a family is to choosing dinner as a community is to balancing rights and safety.

• What do you treasure about your own culture?
• How has your culture shaped your values?
• Write a brief description of your culture as if you were explaining it to someone from a different background. Be as creative as you like.

Answers

Answer:

One thing that I treasure in my culture is all the talent that we have. My culture shaped me to be my best." From the earliest days of American slavery in the 17th century, slave owners sought to exercise control over their slaves by attempting to strip them of their African culture. The physical isolation and societal marginalization of African slaves and, later, of their free progeny, however, facilitated the retention of significant elements of traditional culture among Africans in the New World generally, and in the United States in particular. Slave owners deliberately tried to repress independent political or cultural organization in order to deal with the many slave rebellions or acts of resistance that took place in the United States, Brazil, Haiti, and the Dutch Guyanas."

Explanation:

The elements of the person's culture include the language, location, food and traditions modes of transportation, and clothing.

These elements combine to form treated of one's culture. As the culture is represented by the beliefs, values, and ideologies. The culture shapes these values by how we tend to work and this makes a difference in how we review ourselves. How the society in which we live influences our choices. Culture is thus a set of shared values belief systems and moral duties that one has towards the society and community.

Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Animal Farm.

Afterwards Squealer made a round of the farm and set the animals’ minds at rest. He assured them that the resolution against engaging in trade and using money had never been passed, or even suggested. It was pure imagination, probably traceable in the beginning to lies circulated by Snowball. A few animals still felt faintly doubtful, but Squealer asked them shrewdly, "Are you certain that this is not something that you have dreamed, comrades? Have you any record of such a resolution? Is it written down anywhere?”

Which statement best explains how the pacing in this passage helps reveal Squealer’s character?
A) The quickening pace builds suspense about Squealer’s next course of action.
B) The quickening pace shows how Squealer is similar to Snowball.
C) The foreshadowing shows that Snowball and Squealer are actually very different.
D) The slowing pace shows how Squealer controls the animals with propaganda.

Answers

Answer:

D. The slowing pace shows how Squealer controls the animals with propaganda.

Explanation:

A is false because if you use that prompt as context, as it has no suspense over the next action

B is false because the paragraph does not even hint at it

C is false under the same reasons as B

D is True because the prompt includes tactics that propaganda uses

The slowing pace shows how Squealer controls the animals with propaganda is the statement best explains how the pacing in this passage helps reveal Squealer’s character. Hence, option D is correct.

What is the character of Squealer?

A fictitious pig named Squealer appears in George Orwell's 1945 book Animal Farm. He is the farm's minister of propaganda and Napoleon's second-in-command. He is referred to in the book as a fat porker and an effective and very persuasive orator.

One day, Squealer reveals that Snowball has joined Mr. Frederick's farm, Pinchfield, and that the cunning pig has been working with Mr. Jones from the beginning. Squealer also claims that Snowball has sold himself. He remembers Snowball's attempts to beat the animals at the Battle of the Cowshed.

Pigs communicate through squealing, which is the sound that is used to depict this. Squealer, in other terms, was the pigs' representative in communication.

Thus, option D is correct.
