Answer:
I once dreamed of becoming a screenwriter. It took writing four screenplays before I realized that unless a script becomes a movie or TV show it's hard to share it with others. That's why screenplay number five, Wild Animal School, about a sixteen-year-old girl who spends a magical summer at an exotic animal ranch, became a young-adult novel instead.
Wild Animal School was the product of a lifetime of research. As a child, I was surrounded by not-so-exotic animals, like dogs, cats, and a guinea pig. When I grew older, I had the privilege of spending time with tigers, lions, leopards, grizzly bears, monkeys, and elephants. Although Wild Animal School was set at a fictional ranch, where exotic animals are trained for movies and TV shows, the interactions between the main character and the animals were drawn from my own personal experiences. After months of writing, rewriting, and editing Wild Animal School, the book was published. And people started reading it! People all over the world!
And so I wrote another novel. This one was based on one of my already-written screenplays, Kid Docs, which imagines a world where children are trained to be doctors. The screenplay, and the book, were inspired by my experiences as a medical student, resident, and doctor. Readers of Kid Docs were intrigued. They described the novel as: "Ender's Game, only they're training the kids to be doctors instead of soldiers" and "Doogie Howser, M.D., but with multiple Doogies" and "Grey's Anatomy, but with kids."
My next novel was set in the city I call home: Los Angeles. Lost in Los Angeles tells the story of two emotionally wounded people who help heal each other; it's a love story, but with a shocking twist. Readers of Lost in Los Angeles said things like, "I have read many books and I don't think one has moved me as much as this one did ... My eyes are welling up and my heart aches. I absolutely love this book." (Elizabeth, The Bookish Way). I decided to continue the adventures of Lost in Los Angeles' protagonist, Erin, in a sequel to Lost in Los Angeles. In Lost in Tokyo, Erin travels to Japan with her best friend, Adam, and their experience changes Erin and Adam's friendship forever. I used my experiences during a recent trip to Japan with one of my best friends to shape Erin and Adam's adventures.
For my next novel, I wanted to try something different. I'd been reading a bunch of dystopian novels, including Divergent (by Veronica Roth), The Hunger Games (by Suzanne Collins), and The Giver (by Lois Lowry) and had an idea for a new take on the genre, so I wrote Above the Sky, a story of forbidden romance set in a dystopian future society founded on lies. Unlike my previous books, Above the Sky was based on my imagination rather than personal experiences. (Although, in addition to putting my medical knowledge to use, I consulted experts in a variety of fields, including a former Navy SEAL, an engineer, and a pilot.) When I started to hear back from those who read Above the Sky, it was clear that this book sparked people's imaginations the way writing the book sparked mine. And so I continued the story. Eventually, Above the Sky became a four-book series!
My newest book, The Unknown, is inspired by my love of dystopian novels, loosely combined with my obsession with the Netflix hit show Stranger Things.
I hope you enjoy reading the Above the Sky series, The Unknown, Lost in Los Angeles, Lost in Tokyo, Kid Docs, and Wild Animal School! I'd love to hear your questions or comments! You can contact me here.

Explanation:
Read the following passage:
The thermometer had been in the back of the bathroom drawer for as long as I could remember. I brushed off the
dust and stuck it under my tongue even though I was unsure of its veracity.
What does "veracity" mean as it is used in this reading? Use this dictionary entry to answer the question:
ver- (prefix) truth
scale
accuracy
cleanliness
safety
Answer:
accuracy
Explanation:
According to the passage, the thermometer has not been used in a long while and had been abandoned, so the narrator picked it up from the drawer and proceeded to put it under his tongue even though he was not sure of its veracity.
The word veracity as used in this passage means accuracy because the thermometer had not been in use for a long while so he tried using it even though he wasn't sure of its accuracy.

The poet is curious as he imagines the different fates that a deferred dream could have. The Weary Blues is a longer poem that describes a black man who plays piano with a depressing tune.
So, while Harlem is short and curious, The Weary Blues is longer and unhappy.

Which quotation from this passage supports the
viewpoint that adolescents are not getting enough
exercise?
"we are now eating 31 percent more calories than
we were forty years ago"
"the average American now eats fifteen more
pounds of sugar a year than in 1970"
"entertainment media, including TV, computers,
video games, cell phones and movies”
"only one-third of high school students get the
recommended levels of physical activity
acts,"
Answer:
D. "Only one third of high school students get the recommended levels of physical activity."
Explanation:
Let's evaluate each answer choice.
"We are now eating 31 percent more calories than we were forty years ago."
This choice discusses calories, not exercise. Therefore, this cannot be the correct choice.
"The average American now eats fifteen more pounds of sugar a year than in 1970."
This choice pertains to sugar intake, not physical activity. This isn't the right choice.
"Entertainment media, including TV, computers, video games, cell phones, and movies."
This answer choice talks about screens and media, with no mention of exercise. Again, this cannot be correct.
"Only one third of high school students get the recommended levels of physical activity."
This choice must be correct. It mentions that teens, or high school students are not active enough.
So, choice D. "Only one third of high school students get the recommended levels of physical activity," is correct.
"My fellow-citizens, no people on earth have more cause to be thankful than ours, and this is sald reverently, in no spirit of boastfulness in our own strength, but with gratitude to the Glver of Good who has
blessed us with the conditions which have enabled us to achieve so large a measure of well-being and of happiness. To us as a people It has been granted to lay the foundations of our national life in a new
continent. We are the heirs of the ages, and yet we have had to pay few of the penalties which in old countries are exacted by the dead hand of a bygone civilization. We have not been obliged to fight for
our existence against any alien race; and yet our life has called for the vigor and effort without which the manlier and hardier virtues wither away. Under such conditions It would be our own fault if we
failed; and the success which we have had in the past, the success which we confidently believe the future will bring, should cause in us no feeling of [vanity], but rather a deep and abiding realization of all
which life has offered us; a full acknowledgment of the responsibility which is ours; and a fixed determination to show that under a free government a mighty people can thrive best, alike as regards the
things of the body and the things of the soul.
Much has been given us, and much will rightfully be expected from us. We have duties to others and duties to ourselves; and we can shirk neither. We have become a great nation, forced by the fact of its
greatness into relations with the other nations of the earth, and we must behave as beseems a people with such responsibilities. Toward all other nations, large and small, our attitude must be one of
cordial and sincere friendship. We must show not only in our words, but in our deeds, that we are earnestly desirous of securing their good will by acting toward them in a spirit of just and generous
recognition of all their rights. But justice and generosity in a nation, as in an individual, count most when shown not by the weak but by the strong. While ever careful to refrain from wrongdoing others, we
must be no less insistent that we are not wronged ourselves. We wish peace, but we wish the peace of justice, the peace of righteousness. We wish it because we think it is right and not because we are
afrald. No weak nation that acts manfully and justly should ever have cause to fear us, and no strong power should ever be able to single us out as a subject for Insolent aggression."
Roosevelt states that "Much has been given us, and much will rightfully be expected from us." What is one example from the text of something that is expected from us?
A. To achieve so large a measure of well-being and of happiness
B. To pay few of the penalties which in old countries are exacted by the dead hand
C. To show that under a free government a mighty people can thrive best
D. To single us out as a subject for Insolent aggression
I think it might be A.

Read the paragraph. I have been a nurse for twenty years. In that time, I have seen a great number of patients suffer because they did not have health insurance. One of the worst cases was a young mother of two who was diagnosed with early stage skin cancer. Because she could not afford treatment, the cancer spread from her skin to other parts of her body. By the time I saw her for the first time, the cancer had reached her brain and she could no longer be helped. This sort of thing should not happen to anyone. A strong universal health care system could prevent instances like this from occurring. What makes this appeal from the paragraph convincing? I have been a nurse for twenty years. It uses proven data as evidence. It appeals to the reader’s emotions. It shows the writer’s credibility. It reveals important statistics.
Answer:It doesn’t
Explanation: You shall use more detail and more expression for example how you felt when you had seen your patient getting worst. Explain why was it the worst to you as the worst or compare it to other patients whom wasn’t so bad.
The appeal in the paragraph is convincing because it appeals to the reader's emotions. The writer presents a powerful anecdote about a young mother of two who suffered due to a lack of access to health insurance that is in the third option.
What is health care insurance?The paragraph is effective because it uses a personal anecdote to evoke an emotional response from the reader. The story of the young mother of two who was diagnosed with early-stage skin cancer but couldn't afford treatment is a powerful example of how a lack of access to health care can have devastating consequences. By sharing this story, the writer makes a compelling case for the importance of universal health care. The emotional appeal is particularly effective because it engages the reader's empathy and encourages them to imagine themselves or their loved ones in a similar situation. This helps to create a sense of urgency around the need for universal health care and can motivate readers to take action to support this cause.
Hence, the appeal in the paragraph is convincing because it appeals to the reader's emotions, which is the third option.

Read the excerpt from Spencer’s narrative. I could not have been more stunned. "He” was a "she”! Our new football coach was a female. My mind drifted to that day last week. We had all been waiting in the locker room to meet our new coach, secretly wondering what he would be like. Would he be tough but fair? Would he be demanding but understanding? Would he motivate us before each game with a rousing speech the way Coach Jackson always had? These thoughts were abruptly interrupted when our new coach entered the locker room, stood before us, and commanded our attention. Spencer decided to structure his narrative to start at the end. How did this affect his arrangement of the plot? Spencer had to include the most exciting and engaging parts of the narrative. Spencer had to include a conclusion since the reader already knew what happened. Spencer had to provide detailed background information about his new football coach.
