What are three things you can infer about the type of person Anna is from what she does in the story “The Leap”? How can you tell that she has each of these characteristics?
Answer:
is this the ballerina movie? but i think there's no anna in the movie
As we read from “The Leap” we can say that Anna is a very brave and loving woman.
We can reach this answer because:
Anna is brave and loving. This is presented in the story as an indirect feature, but very important for the plot as a whole.We can see this because Anna was a trapeze artist, which already shows that she is a brave woman.However, Anna's courage is seen when we know that she faced a huge fire and the chances of dying and losing the man she loved to save the baby that was in her belly.This situation left Anna very hurt, but she was glad the baby was safe, at least for the time being.This courage shows how Anna is a dedicated and loving mother who sacrifices herself for her children.It is important to point out that indirect characterization occurs when the characteristics of a character are not shown directly in the story, but can be seen in the way the characters act.

Marketing to youth
Under-aged marketing is a cheap tactic to get kids to ask their parents either for money or for products regarding the advertisement they previously saw.
For the rest of these paragraphs let me get something clear when I use the words "kid" or "children," I am referring to any individual under the age of thirteen. I recognize this may be prejudice but it is generally considered that after the age of thirteen you are no longer a child; instead, a youth or a teenager.
The reasons I have boldly claimed that "under-aged marketing is a cheap tactic," is quite apparent and obvious when you put this under the imaginary common-sense microscope; let me elaborate. I will state the main points and then we can more closely examine them under this microscope
My statements:
"Kids don't have enough life experience to determine whether an ad or promotion is misleading."
"Kids generally do not have much disposable income, or income to speak of"
"Kids are used as a middle ground between marketing teams and their parent's money"
So, let's break this down; the first statement, what this is trying to mean is that kids have, unlike adults, not had enough life experience to determine whether a product is trustworthy. From prior experience most adults should be able to tell if a product is trustworthy, if the product is of enough quality, and even chose between products; consider diminishing returns (the concept that after a certain price products do not get better.) Kids lack this skill because they have simply not had enough life experience. Obviously, there can be exceptions to this, kids can have had enough experience, and there are adults that may not have enough experience to decern with this judgment; but to make it simple it is more or less universally accepted that people over the age of thirteen may already possess most or at least a bit of this judgment.
The second statement, this statement refers to how for many reasons, child labor laws included, children even over the age of thirteen may not be able to have a job. What this means is that children do not have a steady income of their own.
The second statement and the third statement fall under the same category and have the same finality; getting to the parents' wallet. This is usually the most controversial part of a subject like this, in the end, all that the marketing teams want is their money, they don't care how they get. If kids don't have money where can they get it from, the answer to that question is their parents.
So, in all this what the marketing teams are doing is getting to the parent's wallets. In doing so they are using their kids as a medium, if you will get to whom the ads were initially intended to get money from the parents.
All of this happens because children cannot differentiate between products. Saving the explanation from paragraph four, children do not have sufficient life experience for this, making them rely on their parents or other people, and use their parent’s money to buy them the product.
Some people might argue that all this just gives children more say in everything and allows them to see more of their choices. While to a certain extent this may be correct, yet again, children cannot properly and sufficiently decide for themselves what is best. Let me give a simple unconventional example. Little jimmy is innocently on the computer, watching his toy unboxing videos; when suddenly a mid-roll ad (advertisement in the middle of a video) starts to play. Jimmy is four years old and knows how to press the skip ad button but is suddenly entranced by an ad about cereal. This cereal claims to be the best serial in town, and that it tastes amazing. Little Jimmy had never heard about this brand but because the brand spent millions of dollars promoting it on various sites, it got to little jimmy who wanted nothing to do with cereal, to begin with. Little Jimmy thinks nothing of it, but it has not been forgotten. Next time little Jimmy goes to the supermarket with his dad, Big jimmy, for comedic effect. Big Jimmy and little Jimmy finally arrive at the cereal aisle, and little Jimmy recalls to his dad the ad he saw, claiming, “I WANT THAT CEREAL;” at this point, the ad has done its job. It got big Jimmy to buy his son the box of cereal that cost ten times as much just because it had a mascot and a catchy name; the cereal didn’t even taste that good, but they bought it. That my friend is how advertisements work, kids do not ponder upon such egregious things.
So, after this long-winded real-world example, it just goes to show you that people that think advertisements will broaden children’s spectrum and opinions on various products, it does not; whatsoever. It just makes the company more money; because more people buy.
In conclusion, children do not have enough real-world prowess to adequately choose for themselves (with some exceptions) what product is better, they will go directly to the one most advertised.

- Why does the speaker name so many kinds of workers?
- What is the effect of these references?
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.
Decide whether each sentence is simple, compound, or complex. I took the dog for a long walk. The dog ran happily through the park because he had been stuck in the house all day. He stopped to smell several flowers, and he chased a rabbit.
Answer:
I took the dog for a long walk. - simple
The dog ran happily through the park because he had been stuck in the house all day. - complex
He stopped to smell several flowers, and he chased a rabbit. - compound
Explanation:
A simple sentence is constituted of a only one independent clause. It has a subject and a predicate, and it expresses a complete thought. That is what we have in "I took the dog for a long walk."
A complex sentence is formed by joining two clauses, one independent and the other dependent/subordinate. The dependent clause needs the independent one to make sense, since it does not express a complete thought on its own. That is what we have in "The dog ran happily through the park because he had been stuck in the house all day." The subordinating conjunction "because" introduces the dependent clause.
A compound sentence is formed by joining two independent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction - for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. That is what happens in "He stopped to smell several flowers, and he chased a rabbit." In this case, the conjunction is "and".
Answer:

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.
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.
