How does the sentence contribute to the main idea of paragraph one? (4 points)

Answer:The topic sentence is normally the first sentence in a paragraph. This sentence gives the reader an idea of what is coming up in the paragraph, and it is normally the most general of the paragraph’s sentences. There won’t be a whole lot of detail in this sentence, but it is there to introduce the main idea.The body sentences (or supporting sentences) reinforce the topic sentence by fleshing out the details. If something in the body sentences does not support your paragraph, it needs to go somewhere else in the article probably in a new paragraph. If your topic sentence is the “what” of your paragraph, the body sentences are the “whys.”The concluding sentence is not always necessary, but if you have a longer paragraph, it is something that should be included. The concluding sentence will summarize your topic sentence and reinforce it.

When authors write, why do they consider the connotation of words?

Based on details in the poem, what can the reader infer about life in New Orleans immediately following Hurricane Katrina?

The poem: At first, there was nothing to do but watch.
For days, before the trucks arrived, before the work
of cleanup, my brother sat on the stoop and watched.
He watched the ambulances speed by, the police cars;
watched for the looters who’d come each day
to siphon gas from the car, take away the generator,the air conditioner, whatever there was to be had.
He watched his phone for a signal, watched the sky
for signs of a storm, for rain so he could wash.
10 At the church, handing out diapers and water,
he watched the people line up, watched their faces
as they watched his. And when at last there was work,
he got a job, on the beach, as a watcher.
Behind safety goggles, he watched the sand for bones,
searched for debris that clogged the great machines.
Riding the prow of the cleaners, or walking ahead,
he watched for carcasses—chickens mostly, maybe
some cats or dogs. No one said remains. No one
had to. It was a kind of faith, that watching:
my brother trained his eyes to bear
the sharp erasure of sand and glass, prayed
there’d be nothing more to see.

Annotations for “the fifth story”

An author claims that "Athletes caught using performance-enhancing drugs should be sentenced to prison." The author provides the following reason as support:

Last year, 709 citizens were caught using steroids. 403 were put in jail. In the same period of time, 120 professional athletes were caught using steroids. None of them was sent to prison. There is no reason why athletes should not be punished just like everyone else.

How did the Greasers react to the beatings Johnny received from his father? What evidence is there in paragraphs 1-5 that the Greasers were more deeply affected by Johnny’s beating at the hands of the Socs? Why do you think this was the case? Cite specific evidence from the text to support your response?

PARAGRAPHS HERE:

We were used to seeing Johnny banged up—his father clobbered him around a lot, and although it made us madder than heck, we couldn't do anything about it. But those beatings had been nothing like this. Johnny’s face was cut up and bruised and swollen, and there was a wide gash from his temple to his cheekbone. He would carry that scar all his life. His white T-shirt was splattered with blood. I just stood there, trembling with sudden cold. I thought he might be dead; surely no one could be beaten like that and live. Steve closed his eyes for a second and muffled a groan as he dropped on his knees beside Soda.


Start of paragraph 2 of 16Somehow the gang sensed what had happened. Two-Bit was suddenly there beside me, and for once his comical grin was gone and his dancing gray eyes were stormy. Darry had seen us from our porch and ran toward us, suddenly skidding to a halt. Dally was there, too, swearing under his breath, and turning away with a sick expression on his face. I wondered about it vaguely. Dally had seen people killed on the streets of New York’s West Side. Why did he look sick now?


Start of paragraph 3 of 16“Johnny?” Soda lifted him up and held him against his shoulder. He gave the limp body a slight shake. “Hey, Johnnycake.”


Start of paragraph 4 of 16Johnny didn’t open his eyes, but there came a soft question. “Soda?”


Start of paragraph 5 of 16“Yeah, it’s me,” Sodapop said. “Don’t talk. You’re gonna be okay.”

Martin Luther King dreams that the people of this world will not judge others by “the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” He claims that the world will not be able to shatter the “Shackles of prejudice, half-truths, and downright ignorance” while judging others by their skin color or culture, therefore we should let go of this rotten habit and view others through a clean sheet. The best way to assure we don't fall into this habit is by believing that “Culture does not make people, people make culture”, Chimamanda Adichie explains during her TED talk. She claims that this is also how a single story gets created. “Show people as one thing, as only one thing, over and over again, and that is what they become.” In Adichie’s TED talk, she explains how the news and storys force a single story. The story of Adichie and her roommate proves this claim. Adichie described how her roommate had felt sorry for her even before she met her. Her roommate has been shown the single story of catastrophe and pity and not the happy sides of Africa. She had seen the news and war photos of Africa, thinking that that's all that ever took place in Africa. Adichie explains how you can prevent this by simply asking questions. “If you don't understand, ask questions. If you're uncomfortable about asking questions, say you are uncomfortable about asking questions and then ask anyway.”, Adichie says. By asking questions you can get around both prejudice and single stories, so ask away!
