Read this passage from The Phantom Tollbooth.

The sky became quite gray and, along with it, the whole countryside seemed to lose its color and assume the same monotonous tone. Everything was quiet, and even the air hung heavily. The birds sang only gray songs and the road wound back and forth in an endless series of climbing curves.

Explanation:

One of the three beast Beowulf fights is Grendel

My next pet was a pigeon, the
most revolting bird to look at, with
his feathers pushing through the
wrinkled scarlet skin, mixed with
the horrible yellow down that covers
baby pigeons and makes them look
as though they have been peroxiding
their hair. Because of his repulsive
and obese appearance, we called
him Quasimodo. Since he had an
unorthodox upbringing, without
parents to teach him, Quasimodo
became convinced that he was not
a bird at all, and refused to fly. He
walked everywhere. He was always
eager to join us in anything we did. He
would even try to come for walks with
us. So you had to either carry him
on your shoulder, which was risking
an accident to your clothes, or else
you let him walk behind. If you let
him walk, then you had to slow down
your own pace to suit his, for should
you get too far ahead you would hear
the most frantic and imploring coos
and turn around to find Quasimodo
running desperately after you.​

What are pros and cons with this solution down below. This is a solution to bullying

~A current solution that has been already used is Learn and help train all adults and youth on how to recognize and respond to bullying.

If you have anymore solutions to bullying that have been already used please list down below or comment

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The pros of this solution would be that individuals would be more aware of bullying and be able to detect the signs much easier. This would hopefully lead to more people stepping up and interfering when someone is getting bullied which can change many people's lives. The cons of this are that it may not always work. Bullying is not always out in the open and can many times be very subtle. For example, cyberbullying can sometimes be impossible for adults or others to see since it can be through direct messaging where only the victim and the bully are able to see the messages.

For adult therapy, the clinician may choose to help the client engage in strategies to deal with the moments of stuttering in ways that will decrease fear and reduce disruption to the act of communication. This goal is rooted in the _______________________ approach.

Answers

Answer:

This goal is rooted in the Mindfulness-based mental health approach and cognitive behavior therapy approach

Explanation:

Stuttering affects the fluency of the speech in which the flow of speech is characterized by involuntary repetitions and prolongations of sounds, due to emotional distress, neurological problems, low self-esteem, and so many more.

The cognitive behavior therapy approach is a psychological approach that relies on working to improving the individual thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, self-esteem, that will decrease fear and reduce disruption to the act of communication.

The mindfulness-based mental health approach too can be applied to a wide range of psychological difficulties to manage the problems that occur as a result of stuttering.

The blue mustang

Explanation:

Sunsets and Sunrises. Sunsets and sunrises in The Outsiders represent the beauty and goodness in the world, particularly after Johnny compares the gold in the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" to the gold of the sunrises and sunsets

The greasers' long, slick hair is a symbol of their gang, both to themselves and to others. When Ponyboy and Johnny cut and dye their hair while in hiding they're taking a symbolic step outside the gang. As a result, Ponyboy feels less secure, but also gains a bit of room in which to develop his individuality.

The Socs' blue Mustang symbolizes their class and power, since a greaser could never afford such a “tuff car.” The Mustang symbolizes the economic divide between the two groups and points to a major source of the tensions between them. ... Cars and jewelry symbolize the Socs; hair symbolizes the greasers.

can someone write me an introduction about child abuse and why it is important

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

¿Qué es el abuso infantil? El abuso infantil es cuando un padre o cuidador, sea ​​a través de la acción o falta de acción, provoca lesiones, muerte, daño emocional o riesgo de daño serio a un niño. Hay muchas formas de maltrato infantil, incluyendo negligencia, abuso físico, abuso sexual, la explotación y el abuso emocionaCuando partimos de que el modelo médico enfatiza el papel de la genética en la causa de la locura y el sufrimiento, podemos subestimar gravemente el impacto de los sucesos traumáticos en el desarrollo de la mente. Este sesgo persiste a pesar de la sabiduría popular universal de que la enfermedad mental aparece cuando ocurren cosas malas a la gente. El maltrato infantil físico y sexual y la negligencia son experiencias extremadamente comunes en aquellos que desarrollan problemas graves de sa­lud mental. Por desgracia, las víctimas suelen ser reacias a revelar sus historias de abuso y los profesionales suelen ser reacios a buscarlas. Exploramos la naturaleza y el alcance del problema y las razones aparentes para el descuido generalizado de esta im­portante área de la atención. Luego, sobre la base de nuestra experiencia en Nueva Zelanda, proporcionamos directrices para preguntar a los pacientes sobre el abuso infantil y describir una iniciativa en curso en el Reino Unido para seguir avanzando en nuestra comprensión del impacto del maltrato y nuestras habilidades para detectar y tratar a los supervivientes. PALABRAS CLAVE: abuso, trauma, negligencia, preguntar, responder.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           l.

The National Children's Alliance says that in the year of 2019 Around 158,900 children aged two to five suffered abuse. And keep in mind, that number only comes from those who got caught. Child abuse is something that we all hear about. Maybe you've seen it on TV, or have heard rumors about it at school. But it is not fiction. And it is not okay. It is important to proctect children, so they grow up stable, and normal adults.

Proper citation and smooth integration of evidence.

Usually when english teachers are asking you to write an essay or something like that they’re looking for your understanding and if you actually ready the passage, so proper citation and a solid flow in your writers voice that properly explains what you’re trying to say is the way to go. At least that’s what works best for me. Hope this helps! :)

The correct options are C and D. proper citation of the quotation in the paragraph and smooth integration of the evidence into the paragraph make the evidence in this paragraph stronger.

What is evidence in writing?

The reader is assisted in coming to a decision and forming an opinion by factual facts. The writer paraphrases the evidence provided in research papers, articles, and thesis statements. If it is presented exactly as it is, then quotation marks are used correctly.

Direct evidence is the strongest kind of proof since it may be used to directly prove the claim you're looking at without the need for inference. If you trust the accounts, the evidence is sufficient to serve as proof.

Answers

Answer:

“The Persistence of Memory” by Salvador Dalí.  

A precise definition of Surrealism can be difficult to grasp, but it's clear that this once avant-garde movement has staying power, remaining one of the most approachable art genres, even today. Imaginative imagery spurred by the subconscious is a hallmark of this type of art, which started in the 1920s. The movement began when a group of visual artists adopted automatism, a technique that relied on the subconscious for creativity. Tapping into the appeal for artists to liberate themselves from restriction and take on total creative freedom, Surrealists often challenged perceptions and reality in their artwork. Part of this came from the juxtaposition of a realistic painting style with unconventional, and unrealistic, subject matters.

When Dalí painted The Persistence of Memory, his artistic practice was guided by the peculiar “paranoiac-critical method.” Developed by the artist in 1930, the technique relies on self-induced paranoia and hallucinations to facilitate a work of art. This method was particularly instrumental in the creation of Dalí's “hand-painted dream photographs,” a collection of works that are stylistically rooted in realism yet unrealistic in subject matter. Though set in a realistically-rendered landscape, The Persistence of Memory features bizarre subject matter evocative of a dream. While the actual inspiration behind the scene is up for debate (art historians recall Einstein's theory; Dalí comically mentioned Camembert cheese), the odd iconography of the painting is characteristic of the Surrealist movement.

A set of melting clocks—or “soft watches,” as many Surrealists have called them—are scattered across the composition. These fascinating timepieces appear to have lost their integrity, as they're limply draped over a tree branch or sliding off of an ambiguous platform. A single pocket watch, which remains closed, retains its structure, though an army of ants ominously cover its case.
