Read the excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller.

Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbour was.

Which statement best describes the purpose of the imagery in the excerpt?

It allows the reader to feel how excited Helen feels when her new teacher arrives.
It keeps the reader in suspense and eager to find out what happens to Helen.

There is an enormous amount of information on the internet, but not all of it is true. Unfortunately, social media users often can’t tell whether the content they see is fake or real.

My essay so far:

Why phony content is hazardous!
There is an immense sum of data on the cyberspace, although not all of it is accurate. Regrettably, social media users frequently cannot tell whether the content they look at is false or true. This commentary illuminates wherefore it is vital to fact-verify the information you see on the cyberspace.
There is an immense sum of information on the cyberspace, although not all of it is accurate. This is information from How trust Worthy is Social Media?, “So how do you tell truth from lies online? A group of researchers in Chile started analyzing news on Twitter after a devastating earthquake in Santiago in 2010. They learned that false tweets tend to include question marks or exclamation points. True tweets tend to be longer, include links, and come from users with more followers. If you’re unsure whether a post you’re seeing is true or not, check it out on snopes.com or factcheck.org.”
This means, most videos on the internet people are lying and this is how you can figure out if it is true or not. This also lets you know, if there are groups of people trying to expose people for lying on the internet, there must has to be a lot of influencers doing it too.
Therefore, you cannot trust all information on the internet. In Digital Detectives, it states, "In August 2017, while Texas was being rocked by Hurricane Harvey, an image was posted to Twitter. It looked like it had been taken from the driver’s seat of a car. Outside, the road was flooded, and there was a shark in the water. The post read: “Believe it or not, this is a shark on the freeway in Houston, Texas.” It was “liked” 142,000 times—but the photo wasn’t real. It was made with photo-editing software, and had first appeared online in 2011."
This means that she photoshopped this picture to look like there was a shark on the freeway for "likes," and "followers," although this was not real/false. This also shows/tells you to not listen to everything people post on the internet.
Credits to advanced video editing software, additional citizens than ever can be capable of making “deepfake” films that seem like actual tape of notorious individuals expressing things they have not once stated. My evidence here is from Fakeout, "Deepfakes are videos with visual or audio content that has been manipulated. They make it seem as if the video’s subject is saying words he or she has not actually spoken. In the past, videos like these could be made only by trained special-effects artists or video editors. Now, anyone with the time and the right tools can make a convincing deepfake."
The author of this is sarcastically says thanks to the people who created apps where you can create deepfakes, and put fake things on videos to make them seem like the person said it.

In 2008, more than one million American students gave nearly 20 million service hours to their communities. They made a difference in people’s lives and learned some important life lessons in the process. Organizations, including schools, are actively promoting service for all citizens as a way to be involved, help others, and improve themselves. Service is helping other people and being active in your community. For example, one group of teens planted a community garden with their friends. They grow a variety of vegetables. The garden requires regular care. The teens donate the produce to a local soup kitchen. Workers there use the produce to help feed people in the community. By tending the garden and donating their produce, the teens are actively helping make life a bit better for others in their community. Service is valuable in ways that cannot be measured in dollars. People volunteer or serve others without expecting money or gifts in return. Service is not about earning money. It is not just collecting money to give to a group. It is about action and contributing to the common good. The people who serve as well as those who receive help benefit in many ways that are more important than money or gifts. For example, a soup kitchen provides essential food to people who may otherwise go hungry. The soup kitchen is extremely valuable for those struggling to get enough to eat. Those serving learn about compassion and how helping others can improve life for all. Millions of Americans are making society better for themselves and for others. They are participating citizens in their community, raising up those who are less fortunate. In return, they become better people who can understand the perspectives and needs of others, which are invaluable and important qualities of good citizens. Which sentence best represents the main idea of paragraph (2), the first body paragraph? They made a difference in people's lives and learned some important life lessons in the process.
