Non-standard English: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Getting to grips with unusual English writing
Pretty soon I wanted to smoke, and asked the widow to let me. But she
wouldn’t. She said it was a mean practice and wasn’t clean, and I must try
not to do it any more. That is just the way with some people. They get down
on a thing when they don’t know nothing about it. Here she was a-bothering
about Moses, which was no kin to her, and no use to anybody, being gone,
you see, yet finding a power of fault with me for doing a thing that had
some good in it. And she took snuff, too; of course that was all right,
because she done it herself.
Her sister Miss Watson, a tolerable, slim old maid, with goggles on,
had just come to live with her, and took a set at me now with a spellingbook. She worked me middling hard for about an hour, and then the widow
made her ease up. I couldn’t stood it much longer. Then for an hour it was
deadly dull, and I was fidgety. Miss Watson would say, “Don’t put your feet
up there, Huckleberry;” and “Don’t scrunch up like that, Huckleberry – set
up straight;” and pretty soon she would say, “Don’t gap and stretch like that,
Huckleberry – why don’t you try to behave?” Then she told me all about the
bad place, and I said I wished I was there. She got mad then, but I didn’t
mean no harm. All I wanted was to go somewheres; all I wanted was a
change, I warn’t particular. She said it was wicked to say what I said; said
she wouldn’t say it for the whole world; she was going to live so as to go to
the good place. Well, I couldn’t see no advantage in going where she was
going, so I made up my mind I wouldn’t try for it. But I never said so,
because it would only make trouble, and wouldn’t do no good.

A Speech to the Student Body of Evergreen High

[1] Picture this: It's Spring Break, and you fly off to some country where there's lush rainforests and beautiful, blue coastlines to explore. There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.

[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."

[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.

[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).

[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.

[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.

In a paragraph of 6-8 sentences, identify what each text emphasizes and explain how that emphasis supports the claim of each argument. Be sure to state each argument's claim and include evidence from both texts to support your analysis.

Answers

Answer:

     The speech provides a compelling argument against volunteering abroad due to the often hidden harmful effects it has. There is a particular emphasis on staying within your home-land and volunteering locally so that you are able to form a genuine connection with those you volunteer with or for. Volunteering while on holiday is a temporary excursion that has very little impact overall. Volunteering near your permanent residence however, ensures that you "see the job through". Another effective point made in the argument was how volunteering while on holiday is not truly a real life experience due to the artificiality of it all. Often times these "slums" are created as a tourist attraction so people will pay money to "help" and be self-proclaimed humanitarians when in reality they are just adding to the problem.

Which sentence best describes an example of an allusion?

Answers

The correct answer is B. A character describes another character as Romeo.

Explanation

The allusion is a concept that is used to associate characters, situations, events, or even other texts. The allusions, therefore, are intended to give the reader or listener a preliminary idea so that he understands an idea. According to the above, if a character describes another character referring to Romeo's characteristics, he is using the allusion to have Romeo as a point of reference, to establish the idea of another character. So the correct answer is B. A character describes another character as Romeo.

Yesterday Fish (be)
in the river. He (see)
Bear on
the bank of the river.

Answers

Explanation:

What is this? Are you supposed to find the proper grammar or something?

A possible way to form sentences using the words given is "Yesterday, there was a lot of fish in the river. He saw a bear on the bank of the river."

The past form of "be" and "see"

We can tell the verbs provided in the question are supposed to be used in their simple past form due to the word "yesterday." The past forms of "be" are "was" and "were", and the past form of "see" is "saw."

The second part is the easiest to do because we know the subject of the sentence is "he":

He saw a bear on the bank of the river.

The first part, however, is a bit unclear. We cannot be sure who the subject is, so there are a couple of possibilities. For example:

Yesterday, there was (a lot of) fish in the river.Yesterday, Fish was in the river. - Here, we assume that Fish is a character in the story and the subject of the sentence.

Why might an author include dialect in a story? Check all that apply.
to allude to a character's regional background
to describe what a particular setting looks like
to add to the cultural context of a story's setting
to allude to a character's social background
to create a more genuine dialogue between characters

Answers

Answer:

All of them apply

Explanation:

All of them because:

Dialect is in the region so regional works

Cultural context works because dialect is apart of culture

Social background works because some classes might have "proper" accents

Genuine dialogue works because if the story is written in a certain time but no actual good dialect it doesn't seem as real

True of False: The following sentence is a comma splice: Although we have been working hard to find a solution to the problem, the question of how to replace the flawed software is still unanswered.

Answers

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

A comma splice is when two independent clauses are incorrectly joined by a comma to be made into a single sentence. This means that joining two independent clauses to make them into one sentence using a comma is known as a comma splice.

In the given sentence, there is only one independent clause and one dependent clause. The first part of the sentence begins with the subordinating conjunction "although" is the dependent clause while the second part of the sentence after the comma is the independent clause.

So, the given sentence is not a comma splice but rather a complex sentence. And the use of the comma after the dependent clause is because the dependent clause comes first before the independent clause.

Thus, the correct answer is false.

As the outgoing sports prefect, write a report for publication in your school magazing on sporting activities during your term of office​

Answers

Answer:

ANNUAL SPORTS REPORT 2021 SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF SPORTS SCIENCES AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION - PENIEL COLLEGE

All over the world, sports has and still serves as a unifying factor, a tool for character building, and a means of self-discovery.  

It is with the above in mind that I assumed the role of the Sports Prefect. I knew that if I was to succeed, it was important for me to leave the school's Physical Education program in a better shape than I met it.  

To do so, I had to re-envision what that unit is all about. It meant that I had to stand upon the shoulders of all my predecessors from 40 years ago and ask myself, WHY we are here.

As I did with the help of the Sports Coordinator, Mr. Bright Li, I developed the courage to request the help of all the students who served with me in the Physical Education Unit. Without them, none of the things we achieved would have been made possible.  

During my tenure, we not only ensured that all the different sports which we have improved and received funding, but we also added new sub-units such as  

Skateboarding Sport Climbing Karate and Billards

For the first time in 12 years, we won the Regional chess championship and made it to the Nationals, coming back with the Bronze medal in third place.  

Our football team had the rare opportunity to tour with the National football team. This exposure left a strong impact on the members of the team. Some of them now see their dream of joining an actual football team as being more real than ever. Some of the footballers elected to mentor anyone who was serious about taking football farther than college. Of course, there were certain terms and conditions attached.

Because of how we saw the school's Sports Program, and how we went about it, some of the students, have transferred the same dedication, discipline, and teamwork that they have learned on the field to their studies.  Keeping track, we saw that the grades of all sports active students improved by 39% after we introduced the Play to Win philosophy. We made it clear through all our coaches and team leads that all the principles learned on the field were transferrable to academic work and that sports was not just an escape for those who felt they didn't have the brains or intelligence to excel academically.

As students progressed athletically, and in various other sports, their self-image increased. So did their academic performance.  

I'd like to thank the all staff and students who helped to push the vision of the Sports and Physical Sciences unit further. Special appreciation goes to the teachers who supervised the following teams:

Cricket Volleyball Table Tennis Chess Athletics Tug of War

They provided excellent coaching and for the first time in 9 years featured in interschool competitions, coming back home with at least a bronze medal. In all, we had 6 gold medals, 8 silver medals, and 2 bronze medals.  

If we don't give up, IMPOSSIBILITY IS NOTHING.

Cheers

Answers

Answer:

Hey... sorry if im late but the correct answer is "A" or I want to tell her exactly what happened, or what I remember happening.

Explanation:

The sentence that best reflects the idea that O'Brien is more concerned with emotional truth than factual truth is 'I want to tell her exactly what happened, or what I remember happening'.

What is meant by emotional truth ?

An individual's emotional truth is how they feel about a circumstance, and this feeling may or may not correspond to the truth of the event.

Here,

Apart from factual truth, the emotional truth has a significance to a person's emotions, whereas factual truth is always relied on the actual events and facts.

We could wonder if we are really Tim O'Brien in the Tim O'Brien novel Ambush. From the sentence, he always preferred to hear emotional truth than what is happening in reality.

He also considered how the individuals may effect someone and how they might feel as he began to conceptualise and discuss the significance of the happenings.

Hence,

The sentence that best reflects the idea that O'Brien is more concerned with emotional truth than factual truth is 'I want to tell her exactly what happened, or what I remember happening'.

This sentence is written as a cause and effect text structure.
true or false

Answers

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Text structure can be defined as words used to describe how a writer or an author organizes his or her words in a literary work.

In English language, there are five (5) nonfiction text structures and these includes;

a. Sequence: this type of text structure make use of words such as after, before, finally, next, then, etc., to describe an event in a timely manner or order of time.

b. Compare and Contrast: it used for the comparison of two or more things to show similarities and differences i.e how they are alike and different.

c. Description (list): this type of text structure list lot of facts or details about a subject, making use of phrases such as more importantly, for instance, for example, etc.

d. Problem and Solution: it describes a problem and proffers a solution using signal words such as dilemma, solve, problem, etc.

e. Cause and Effect: it gives the relationship between two things or events in which an occurrence of one (cause) leads to the occurrence of another (effect). Signal words such as consequently, because, as a result, therefore, due to, since, etc.

Therefore, this sentence "Because it has to produce its own air (cause), the Martian city will be small (effect)" is written as a cause and effect text structure.

This ultimately implies that, Martian city is small in terms of geographical size or population because has to produce its own air for use.
