The Tortoise and the Eagle
A Tortoise, lazily basking in the sun, complained to the sea-birds of her hard fate, that no one would teach her to fly. An Eagle, hovering near, heard her lamentation and asked what reward she would give him if he would take her aloft and float her in the air. “I will give you,” the Tortoise said, “all the riches of the Red Sea.” “I will teach you to fly then,” said the Eagle; and taking her up in his talons he carried the Tortoise almost to the clouds. Suddenly the Eagle let the Tortoise go, and she fell on a lofty mountain, dashing her shell to pieces. The Tortoise exclaimed just before she died: “I have deserved my present fate; why did I think I was meant for wings and clouds, when I have such difficulty moving about on the earth?’

Which strategy is most helpful during the revision stage of the writing process—rather than the editing stage?

creating an outline based on what you know about a topic
Answer:

Explanation:
using a dictionary and spell-check to correct mistakes
looking for words and phrases that sound informal

Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics.
He also believes that employees further up the corporate ladder cheat more than those down below. He got this idea after delivering for years to one company spread out over three floors—an executive floor on top and two lower floors with sales, service, and administrative employees (Feldman wondered if perhaps the executives cheated out of an overdeveloped sense of entitlement. What he didn’t consider is that perhaps cheating was how they got to be executives.)
Which best describes the type of reasoning the excerpt uses?
Feldman uses deductive reasoning because he works from a generalization to arrive at specific examples.
Feldman uses deductive reasoning because he arrives at a broad generalization based on another generalization.
Feldman uses inductive reasoning because he formulates a generalization based on specific examples.
Feldman uses inductive reasoning because he formulates a generalization based mostly on experience.

Answer:
We were still grappling with our emotions after the announcement that the trip was canceled when our teacher told us it was back on.
Explanation:
The sentence that employs the word 'grappling' correctly would be:
C). We were still grappling with our emotions after the announcement that the trip was canceled when our teacher told us it was back on.
What is a sentence?A sentence is defined as the amalgamation of words arranged in a grammatical manner to offer a complete thought.
The word 'grappling' stands for 'carrying or holding something quite resistantly or to struggle to tackle something."
The third sentence i.e. "We were...back on" most adequately communicates the latter meaning of the word 'grappling' and suggests that they were having a difficult time dealing with their emotions.
Thus, option C is the correct answer.

You have been transferred to a new school and have spent a term in your new school. Write a letter to your friend in your former school discussing at least three reasons you prefer your new school to your former school
Beloit College
I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
1. My school is incredibly unique.
There are so many different kinds of people that each bring something really special to contribute to the school which makes it so unique.
2. I am not just a number at my school.
I am a student that my professors know about and I like knowing that my professors can watch my progress.
3. I feel like I am contributing something to the community.
I like feeling like I can make a difference on my campus.
4. I really do feel like it is my home away from home.
It isn't just my school. It is absolutely my home away from home. I feel so comfortable there and it was as hard of an adjustment as I had thought it would be.
5. My professors know me and I feel that I can easily communicate with them.
I feel like they will do anything to help students succeed. I can always go to my professors. I like knowing that I have someone looking out for me.
6. The incredible people i've met
The people I have met at my school, even after my first year, have made such a huge impact on me. I know that these are people that I will stay friends with long after college is done.
7. Opportunities
My school offers so many different opportunities to get involved in things around campus. Even writing for the Odyssey was an opportunity offered to me by my school and I decided to challenge myself by writing an article. Turns out, I really enjoy writing. I might not have had this opportunity at a bigger school.
8. Students want to learn
I feel as though I am not just learning inside the classroom at my school. I am learning outside the classroom to from my fellow classmates who want to engage about the things we have learned.
9. Ability to join a sorority and have a house full of people I know I can talk to anytime I need to
I wasn't sure if being in a sorority was something I was interested in but when I met the amazing people in the sorority and how inclusive it was, I knew that it was going to be a good thing for me. The people I've met in my sorority have been so amazing.
10. I have figured out how I learn best because my school offers so many different ways of learning.
Because of the smaller class sizes, there is more flexibility in the way the class is taught. This was helpful because I was able to try out different ways of learning and figure out which way I learn best.

Answer:
I would love to go to Greece. The sounds of the waves crashing when I wake up in the morning and the sun beaming on my skin when i step out to soak up pure relaxation is something I dream of day to day. I want nothing more than to walk up to the clear, blue water of my dreams and to lay on the golden sand. I would spend my days on the beach, watching the horizon and listening to the calmness that surrounded me. I would try different foods to experience the culture around me and try to learn some Greek! Ever since I was a kid, Greece was the place I wanted to go. I had heard stories of Greek gods and goddesses that derived from this beautiful place and I wanted to experience it for myself. Especially after watching Mamma-Mia, who wouldn’t want to visit this magnificent land. I for one would love to break out into song whilst running across the heavenly beaches that would lay before me. I would love to experience the people and their way of life. Just sitting here thinking about the ancient architect and the plush green valleys make me sigh in wonder. Especially the Greek nightlife. The stories I've heard of the wild parties and the wild raves that take place over in Greece make me want to visit immediately! They live freely over there. Beautiful weather, great food, astonishing views, wild nightlife and pure tranquility. That is what I long for in life and now that I see it and know that it exists, I would be at a loss of words if I were ever to see this heavenly destination.
