Once upon a time, a mother duckling sat on her eggs with great impatience. How long would it be before they hatched? Finally, one summer day, the mother duckling watched as the eggs cracked, and her cute, yellow ducklings waddled into the world. She was filled with joy until she noticed that one egg, which was larger than all of the others, remained. After many hours, the egg cracked. A large, gray duckling emerged. The mother duck was horrified at the duckling's appearance. The mother duck's only comfort was that the ugly duckling could swim and dive under the water.

As the ugly duckling grew, many animals in the pond criticized him. His feathers were too dark, his neck was too long, and his body was too big. His fellow ducklings refused to recognize that underneath the feathers, the ugly duckling was kind, good, and gentle. The ugly duckling shed many tears because none of the other animals would play with him.

One day, the ugly duckling decided to run far away and find a place where the animals would look past his appearance and be kind and friendly. He came to a pond and sighted three beautiful swans. Their white feathers, long necks, and kind eyes made them look like royalty. The ugly duckling sighed in disappointment. He believed that the swans would never be his friends and looked down into the pond in despair. Then, his eyes opened wide, for he saw his reflection. To his great astonishment, the ugly duckling discovered that he was a beautiful, royal swan! The swans welcomed their new friend, whose lovely appearance was matched only by his kind heart. He now felt like he belonged.

Read the fairy tale The Princess and the Pea.

Once upon a time, there was a handsome prince. The prince lived with his mother and father in a luxurious castle that overlooked a valley of wildflowers and a distant forest. As the prince grew up, he began to long for a princess. However, the prince wanted to be sure that the princess was a real princess. The queen and king searched far and wide for a real princess, but the prince always found something wrong with the princesses they found.

One evening, there was a terrible storm. The wind howled, thunder shook the stone walls, and lightning filled the dark night sky. Through the pelting of the rain, there came a knock at the door. When the king opened the door, he saw a bedraggled girl, soaked to the skin and covered in mud. He ushered her into the castle so that she could warm herself by the fire.

"Why is a young servant girl like you wandering about on such a ferocious night?" queried the king.

The disheveled maiden looked at the king in disbelief. "I am a princess, come to see the prince," she explained, all the while shivering.

The king summoned his wife, the queen, for advice. The queen looked at the hideous creature in disbelief, thinking that no princess would ever allow herself to be found in such a state. She thought quickly and came up with a clever plan. The queen put a small pea at the bottom of a bed and piled twenty mattresses on top of it. When the girl arrived at the room, she had to climb a ladder to reach the top of the bed, where she collapsed in exhaustion.

Bright and early the next morning, the king and queen arrived at the girl's bedchamber. The queen asked the girl how she had slept the night before.

"Absolutely terribly!" bemoaned the maiden. "I have spent the entire night tossing and turning. I don't know whether there is something hard in the bed, or your mattresses are rocks, but my body is black and blue."

The queen and the king stared at the maiden in astonishment. Only a real princess would have such delicate skin that she could feel a pea under twenty mattresses. The queen and king brought her to the prince, who was thrilled to meet a real princess with such an independent spirit.

Birthday Cards for our Los Al Elderly
Living in a nursing home can sometimes feel lonely and isolating. Not all of the elderly in our community have families caring for them or visiting, and this can lead to people feeling forgotten. You are invited to write a kind birthday message to an elderly person in Los Alamitos who may be in need of a little birthday love.

Try starting your message with “Dear Friend.” Even if you don't know your reader by name, starting with “Dear Friend” will make them feel special and cared for.

Introduce yourself and tell them a bit about you (name, age, where you go to school, city you live in).

Wish them happy birthday and say things like "wishing you a day filled with love and sunshine." Or you could write them a simple birthday poem.

Share more information about you (what you like to do, what you want to be when you grow up, hobbies, sports, pets, favorite subjects in school, etc).

Wish them well and let them know you care about them. Then sign off by saying "Your friend" followed by your first and last name, McAuliffe, and your age.

Type your message below. ASB will put your words into a fun birthday card and deliver it to a senior citizen at a local nursing home. You may also handwrite your letter and submit it to our basket in the Main Office. Thank you so much for participating and making someone's day! :)

Answers

Dear friend, I heard it’s your birthday so I decided to write you this card. Hopefully something like this will cheer you up since it’s not something you get everyday! Also, happy birthday. I wish you the best today, and remember to enjoy this day. I know you might not be curios in this but I look forward to being a (what you want to be) when I get older! Anyways, may your day be filled by joy and love. I got to (your school name) in case you want to visit some time, and I’ll always be here.

Answers

hey!

You could always try to use a dictionary and find 'bigger' or more complicated words that have the same meaning. The only way to learn new words and how to use them is to study. You can read or even find a book that has the voice so you can listen but still look at the words to know how they are spelt. I know studying sucks but that's really the only way to learn the words and broaden up your vocabulary.

I hope this helped you in some way.

Question: teachers assign too much homework?

write an argumentative essay (Write at least 6 sentences please)

An argumentative essay is a writer who attempts to persuade readers to understand and support their point of view about a topic by stating their reasoning and providing evidence to back it up.

Answers

Answer:

Ever finished school and wanted to just lay down and take a nap or play video games but instead have tons of homework to do? Well that's one reason why I think teachers give to much homework.

My first reason is, that after sitting around all day in school kids need a break to play with there friends, take nap, play video games, or do what ever else that want. They need this to be successful and to continue wanting to learn.

Also, It creates a lot of stress for kids and sometimes there parents because some times yo can't figure out what the answer to one problem and neither can your parents. This puts a lot of stress on kids and sometimes they don't do the whole thing or leave the answer blank affecting their grades.

Finally, sometimes kids have other commitments after school like sports or appointments and can't do their homework. Some times teachers can't accept that or you can't do your homework at all.

That is why in my opinion teachers give kids to much homework.

Sorry for my bad grammar ;-;

Does this sentence contain a Parrallell Structure in it?

A) No, the sentence does not contain correct parallel structure.

Answers

Answer:

i would feel depressed because i cant travel anymore and go out on vacation and see family. i would manly miss seeing my family. i would act like whats the point in living if i cant do anything

Explanation:

Answer:

If all my freedoms were taken away I would feel angry, sad, and frustrated. I would feel that way because if you have lived in freedom and then to suddenly have it taken away would be life changing and a big slap in the face. I would miss being able to see my friends and family or if we are talking about the amendments being taken away I would miss being able to have the right to say how I feel about something and share my opinion with the world. I would probably calmly try to reason with the proper authorities and try to explain to them why it's not right what they did and to please change it back to the way it was.

I followed the footprints in the sand. The never ending steps felt daunting as I moved forward. There was a strong stench in the air. The water fading as I took each step. Moving further from all familiarity I once knew. I took a deep breath. I began to shake out of fear as I saw a man appear from the shadows. He seems quite glum. His body language seemed to be ever change because as I got closer he seemed to grow this tantalizing grin. I knew nothing good was to come from this. I yelled out but saw as though there was nothing but a bit of rock behind me. No one could hear me now. I had to choose my next move wisely. I tell myself, you only have one shot at this. He reaches for my hand. I snap my wrist back to show my doubt. He leaned upon me. Lifeless, I asked him, am I going to die?

Answer:

I followed the footprints in the sand hoping it would dirstract the pain in my head. The footprints seemed small, too small. Reminding me of of Emma, my 8 year old daughter who is now lost in this selfish big world. The footprints went on for a while. A little part of me hoping they were Emma's. The footprints stoped and as i glanced up, of coarse it wasn't Emmas but instead this little boy sitting by himself reading a book.

I was shocked to see this little 5-6 year old reading a thick chapter book. As i walked toward him he paid little to no attention in me, just glaring into the thick book. Thats about when I saw a tear drop from his eye. I went up sat next to him as he quickly started to wipe his face.

" Are you ok?" I asked without hesitaion. He looked up and said, "Yeah, im fine. Just missing my parents." He then closed his book and stared blankly in the sand.

"You see, my parents droped me off at school but when I came back they were just not home" he said trying to hold back tears. " They never came back?" I asked, hoping he would respond. He didn't.

"I know how it feels to loose something that you love the most." I said staring into the ocean.

"You really don't though." he said making an unreadable expression.

"I lost my daughter a month ago." I blurted

"Oh, i'm sorry. I shoudn't have been rude...I didn't..." he started to trail off.

"It fine." i interupted. Then nobody talked for a while.

We both stated fidiling with the sand, making castles, forts, burying eachother. It was the most fun I ever had this month. The boy seemed calm and collective. I envied him.

"So lady, whats your name?" the boy asked enthusistically

" You can call me Rose, short for Rosalie." I infomed

" Neat! You can call me Ben!" he said.

I forgot that this same boy that was crying earlier was this happy little boy.

"Who do you live with now?" I asked knowig it might have been a sensitive subject.

"My aunt, she doesn't want to help me find my parents" he said while building a sand castle. "but I want to help you find your daughter..."

"Emma" I responded

"Ah Emma, if you will help me find my parent?" he looked up to see my response

A tear ruled down my eye. "S-sure" I said smiling and wiping my tear.
