Read the excerpt below. Write a summary of the setting. Your summary should include the three elements of setting and textual evidence.
The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky

Written by Stephen Crane


The great Pullman (a Pullman is a term for a luxury railway car) was whirling onward with such dignity of motion that a glance from the window seemed simply to prove that the plains of Texas were pouring eastward. Vast flats of green grass, dull-hued spaces of mesquite and cactus, little groups of frame houses, woods of light and tender trees, all were sweeping into the east, sweeping over the horizon, a precipice. A newly married pair had boarded this coach at San Antonio. The man's face was reddened from many days in the wind and sun, and a direct result of his new black clothes was that his brick-colored hands were constantly performing in a most conscious fashion. From time to time he looked down respectfully at his attire. He sat with a hand on each knee, like a man waiting in a barber's shop. The glances he devoted to other passengers were furtive and shy. The bride was not pretty, nor was she very young. She wore a dress of blue cashmere, with small reservations of velvet here and there and with steel buttons abounding. She continually twisted her head to regard her puff sleeves, very stiff, straight, and high. They embarrassed her. It was quite apparent that she had cooked, and that she expected to cook, dutifully. The blushes caused by the careless scrutiny of some passengers as she had entered the car were strange to see upon this plain, under-class countenance, which was drawn in placid, almost emotionless lines. They were evidently very happy. "Ever been in a parlor-car before?" he asked, smiling with delight. "No," she answered, "I never was. It's fine, ain't it?" "Great! And then after a while we'll go forward to the diner and get a big layout. Finest meal in the world. Charge a dollar."

why should I even bother to vote​

Answers

Answer:

you shouldn't like whats the point one single vote aint going to do nothing

have a good day :)

Explanation:

Answer:

Another responsibility of citizens is voting. The law does not require citizens to vote, but voting is a very important part of any democracy. By voting, citizens are participating in the democratic process. Citizens vote for leaders to represent them and their ideas, and the leaders support the citizens' interests

Explanation:

It is important because without it citizens would not be able to choose the people who will run their government. It is also a major responsibility. Those that do not vote are failing to carry out a civic responsibility. They are also handing over their political power to views they may oppose.

Voting. While voting is a right and privilege of citizenship, it is also a duty or responsibility. By voting, citizens have a voice in their government and help ensure that the democratic representative system of government is maintained

Hope this helps you understand why you should vote.

excerpt from A Good Place for Maggie
by Ofelia Dumas Lachtman
"ACCIDENT AT GREENSTON NUCLEAR PLANT, No Danger to Community, Officials Say."
Every time that headline from yesterday's Los Angeles News flashed into her mind, Margarita—Maggie-Cruz griped the steering wheel of her
w more tightly and assured herself that she was doing the right thing. It wasn't as if she were in danger from the Greenston plant in the desert
hundreds of miles away, but those headlines had been the convincing factor in her decision. Yes, it was the right thing to do, and hour after hour
as she drove north of Los Angeles, she had felt more and more competent and more secure. Until now.
For the last hour she had been so intent on the changing countryside that she forgot to buy gas. The gauge said empty. She drove on, dreading
the moment when the motor would draw on the last drop of gasoline and give up. She was driving on a narrow country road lined with tall
eucalyptus trees and nothing else. Then in a clearing on the left side of the road, she saw a battered old sign with faded red letters: G-A-S. No, it
wasn't a mirage; it was more like a miracle. With a grateful sigh she turned into the run-down station, bumping over broken concrete and coming
to a stop by one of two pumps.
A weary-looking old man in grease-spotted overalls appeared beside her. "Fill 'er up?"
"Is it cheaper if I pump it myself?" It didn't look as if he'd take a credit card and she was low on cash.
"All the same here, missy," the man called, rounding the car. "Fill 'er up?
Maggie said yes, please go ahead, and climbed out of the blue W. Good thing I didn't splurge on lunch, she thought, staring at the pumps. Gas is
almost twice as high up here as it is in Los Angeles. But I'm not complaining. When she had driven mile after mile without finding a gas station,
she had begun to think that maybe being sixteen and a half didn't make her that smart, maybe a trip like this was a little much for her. Now she
felt better. She stretched and thought, Dad would be proud of me. I'm doing what is right for me. Oh, I'll miss my friends, especially Mim and
Lorena. I'll even miss Ryan. I wonder if he was really going to ask me to the TGI June bash? Well, that's history. Now is now.

Read the passage, then do as required

Most of us have formed an unrealistic picture of life on a desert island. We sometimes

imagine a desert island to be a sort of paradise where the sun always shines. Life there is

simple and good. Ripe fruit falls from the trees and you never have to work. The other side

of the picture is quite the opposite. Life on a desert island is wretched. You either starve to

death or live like 'Robinson Crusoe', waiting for a boat which never comes. Perhaps there is

an element of truth in both these pictures, but few of us have had the opportunity to find

out.

Two men who recently spent five days on a coral island wished they had stayed there

longer. They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Island to Miami to have it

repaired. During the journey, their boat began to sink. They quickly located a small rubber

dinghy with food, matches, water and rowed for a few miles across the Caribbean until they

arrived at a tiny coral island. There were hardly any trees on the island and there was no

water, but this did not prove to be a problem. The men collected rain- water in the rubber

dinghy. As they had brought a spear gun with them, they had plenty to eat.

They caught lobsters and fish every day, and , as one of them put it ' ate like kings' ! When a

passing tanker rescued them five days later, both men were genuinely sorry that they had

to leave.

Questions:

1-Choose a suitable title for this passage.

2-According to the information given In the text, how the two men came to the desert

island? And what did they do there ?

3-If you were stuck on a desert island, and you have the chance to bring ( 3 items / things )

to help you survive in this island. What will you bring with you? And why?

4-What would you change / or add in this text, if you are the author ?

5-Can you summarize the text in two or three sentences?

6-Think of another Ending for this story.

7-If you got the chance to ask the author of this passage, one question, what would it be?​

Answers

Answer

The Ultimate Experience

They were on their way, their boat died, they grabbed the dinghy and reached a deserted island.

They made sure to protect themselves, feed themselves, and find water.

Knife, Fire -(stuff to make fire), Rope  - many uses for rope

I would add the info about the animals on the island and what it was like to look up at the night sky so dark and beautiful full of stars

Two men were recently rescued from a deserted island.  They were found safe.  They enjoyed the experience so much that they did not want to leave.  They were rescued.

Ending - I can see the Swiss Family Robinson story taking place and these 2 guys building them a house and staying on the island.

7. I am not going to finish my studies next year. I have decided to go travelling instead.

Explanation:

We use "going to" to indicate a future action that we have already planned. The structure is:

subject + to be + going to + main verb

The auxiliary verb is "to be". It must be conjugated according to the subject of the sentence: I am, you are, he is, she is, it is, we are, or they are. If the sentence is negative, the verb "to be" can be contracted with "not" when possible: aren't or isn't. If the sentence is interrogative, "to be" must be placed before the subject. Take a look at the examples below to better understand it:

- Lisa (she) is going to cook us dinner.

- Lisa isn't going to cook us dinner.

- Is Lisa going to cook us dinner?

can you please write a paragraph on books or book fair?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Who hasn't seen a book in his/her life? Even an illiterate person can recognize books as they are easily available everywhere. We have read countless books by now. Books are interesting to read at for most of us as one can easily find books that interest them most in the markets, library etc. Books are the greatest source of knowledge. They hold the key to information on everything and everyone living on earth. For instance, if I need to know how to cook momo, I can easily look into a cook book to find the recipe. Books keep us informed about the things around us. In other words, as long as we keep on reading books we can't be ignorant of anything in this world. The world will be within our grasp.

Besides imparting knowledge to us, books inspire us towards achieving our goals. We get to know more about the world through books which further broadens our minds and as a result allow us to choose our future and walk on the path towards our success. Books push us towards our success and keeps us motivated to achieve more by telling the tales of great achievers, and by showing us a way out if we ever find ourselves in trouble. In the nutshell, we can say that books are the reason behind our success as they are the ocean of knowledge and information which can either make or break our life. Hence, we must cherish our books.

"President's Speech Is a Total Bummer!"
Why doesn't the headline sound credible?

Answers

The correct answer is C. It uses an informal expression.

Explanation

Credibility is a characteristic that refers to the ability to be believed. In general, the media must have credibility because they use formal language, and support the information in reliable sources, contributing to credibility. When a text, speech, or person has credibility it generates trust in others. According to the above, the headline "President's Speech Is a Total Bummer!" does not have credibility because it uses an informal word as "Bummer", causing little credibility in the receiver of the message as this gives an impression this newspaper is not serious or expert in the topic. Therefore, the correct answer is C. It uses an informal expression.
