Answer:

Dear Editor

Explanation: Middle school is a time students first begin to figure out who they are, to begin to have more of a say in the direction of their lives.  Interests change and begin to develop.  Offering physical outlets in the form of organized sports at a middle school level helps students form new friendships, develop confidences that haven't begun to emerge and navigate competition and conflict in settings that are for the first time, away from watchful parental eyes.  Some of these same students will begin to hone physical skills that will lead to championship games and records building pride in community and connections in the community. These same students may begin to form attachments and feelings for their home towns that they will nurture as financially successful adults; helping fund programs in these same communities or volunteering in them as adults.  Competitive and organized sports can lead to educational opportunities some students could simply not afford, what better idea than to help these students nurture talent that will grow into opportunity for them.

Answer: The argument is ineffective because their agrument is based soley off opinions rather than factual evidence. The use of opinions in an agrumentive essay is usually quite taboo because it makes you seem much less of an intellectual writer. Their claim is 'It is super important to colonize the moon because we will run out of roon on Earth' which is based on what factual evidence? Their support is their neighbor saying we are ruining the Earth, and while there is factual evidence of climate change it is not stated or brought up. Their supporting sentence falls flat. Their conclusion is that the moon is great, which is in fact another opinion. Basically, this argument has no evidential pull like a good strong agrumentive piece can have due to the over use of personal diction and opinions.

Where would you most likely encounter a flashback

-in a lighting storm
-in a biographical film
-in a dance performance
-in a photography studio

Answers

Answer:

in a biographical film

Explanation:

A flashback is a transition in a story to an earlier time, that interrupts the normal chronological order of events. A flashback in a movie might show what happened when a character was younger.

Flashbacks are often used for comedic effect, to prove or contradict something in the present. For example, if a character in a sitcom claims he does the dishes every single night, flashbacks could show him ignoring a giant pile of dirty dishes on various occasions. Flashback can also mean a sudden, vivid remembrance of past events, like having a flashback to your kindergarten days if you go visit that classroom today.

Read the excerpt from "Children of the Drug Wars."

If many children don’t meet strict asylum criteria but face significant dangers if they return, the United States should consider allowing them to stay using humanitarian parole procedures we have employed in the past, for Cambodians and Haitians. It may be possible to transfer children and resettle them in other safe countries willing to share the burden.

What is the author’s purpose in this excerpt?

to express an opinion about US asylum policies
to prompt feelings of sympathy in the reader
to suggest a suspenseful atmosphere about the asylum process
to provide facts and details about Cambodian and Haitian children

Answers

Answer: to express an opinion about US asylum policies.

Explanation:

The author of the writing that this excerpt is based on is sharing their opinion on what they feel the U.S. should do when it comes to little children asking for asylum.

The author believes that they should be saved especially if they face danger if they are sent back home. The speaker then gives their suggestion in relation to this which shows that the purpose of the text was to express an opinion.

Answers

Hello. You did not present the excerpt to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you as much as possible.

It is only possible to determine the central theme of an excerpt, after reading it. In that case, the first step in answering that question is to read the entire excerpt. After that, you will be able to identify the central theme, since that theme refers to the message that the author wants to pass on to the reader with the reading. In that case, you can find the theme of the excerpt by asking the following questions: "What does this excerpt talk about?", "What message can I understand from this excerpt?", "Is there a lesson being taught in this excerpt? is this lesson?".

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

Doctor Pascal
by Emile Zola

In the heat of the glowing July afternoon, the room, with blinds carefully closed, was full of a great calm. From the three windows, through the cracks of the old wooden shutters, came only a few scattered sunbeams which, in the midst of the obscurity, made a soft brightness that bathed surrounding objects in a diffused and tender light. It was cool here in comparison with the overpowering heat that was felt outside, under the fierce rays of the sun that blazed upon the front of the house.

Standing before the press which faced the windows, Dr. Pascal was looking for a paper that he had come in search of. With doors wide open, this immense press of carved oak, adorned with strong and handsome mountings of metal, dating from the last century, displayed within its capacious depths an extraordinary collection of papers and manuscripts of all sorts, piled up in confusion and filling every shelf to overflowing. For more than thirty years the doctor had thrown into it every page he wrote, from brief notes to the complete texts of his great works on heredity. Thus it was that his searches here were not always easy. He rummaged patiently among the papers, and when he at last found the one he was looking for, he smiled.

For an instant longer he remained near the bookcase, reading the note by a golden sunbeam that came to him from the middle window. He himself, in this dawnlike light, appeared, with his snow-white hair and beard, strong and vigorous; although he was near sixty, his color was so fresh, his features were so finely cut, his eyes were still so clear, and he had so youthful an air that one might have taken him, in his close-fitting, maroon velvet jacket, for a young man with powdered hair.

Answers

Answer:

Directly to himself

Explanation:

A literary device can be defined as any technique used by speakers and authors (writers) to significantly emphasize on their writeups or compositions and express their ideas, opinions or thoughts to the audience.

The main purpose of a literary device is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of the piece. Some of the literary device used in English literature are; exposition, resolution, plot, paradox, setting, tragedy, comedy, epiphany, theme, falling action, rising action, simile, metaphor, parody, utopia, anecdote, pseudonym, essay, analogy, hyperbole, oxymoron, personification, pun, sarcasm, contrast, connotations, genre, fiction, epic, inference, foreshadowing, soliloquy, etc.

A soliloquy can be defined as a literary device used mostly in a drama and it typically involves the character speaks directly to him or herself and relates his or her emotions, feelings and innermost thoughts as if thinking aloud.

This ultimately implies that, a character speaks directly to him or herself in a soliloquy.

Generally, no other character is present when a character is soliloquizing on the stage or in a drama.
