Excerpt from Changing the Curriculum
Natalie Stewart
In the hot, stuffy meeting room, cheers and applause broke through the oppressive air. Teachers and faculty members were
sitting around several large tables, looking up at Randall with admiration. Randall was relieved that the meeting was over.
His thoughts drifted back to the start of the school year.
Randall's fourth period English class seemed to drag on forever. The assigned reading list his teacher had handed out in the
beginning of class was a huge disappointment to this book lover, the curriculum was stale like week-old bread. After
analyzing the list at the dinner table, his parents remarked that they had read many of the books assigned to Randall's class.
Teachers were subjecting today's students to a thirty-year-old reading list! This didn't make any sense to Randall. Though he
understood the value of classical literature, Randall felt that the curriculum needed a better balance of old and new.
The author uses words like stuffy, oppressive, and stale in order to
A)
make the scenes more realistic.
B)
add to the sense of excitement.
C) to make the article more colorful.
D)create sympathy for Randall’s cause.
Answer:

Select a quote from one of the autobiographies, memoirs, or personal essays in this unit that show ethos, logos, and pathos (one quote for each). In at least 150 words, define your terms and explain why the given term is an example of its rhetorical strategy.
Hi. You have not submitted any of the texts you have seen on the unit, which makes it impossible for your question to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.
To find paragraphs that present ethos, pathos and logos, you should look for persuasive paragraphs, that is, paragraphs where authors try to convince readers about something. The paragraph that will present the ethos will be the one where the author will try to convince the reader through ethical arguments. The paragraph that presents the pathos will be the one that the author tries to convince the reader with emotional arguments. The paragraph that presents the logos will be the one in which the author tries to convince the reader through logical arguments.
Which group of words from the passage best helps the reader understand the meaning of the word extinction?
The Extinction of Dinosaurs
We all know that at one time dinosaurs roamed the surface of Earth. But it has been 65 million years since they died out. They thrived on the
planet for many years, along with a vast number of other organisms and animals. How did the dinosaurs go extinct?
Scientists formed many theories about what caused the death of this entire species. They included climate change, continental shifts, and
volcanoes.
Eventually, one theory began to suggest that the cause of the dinosaurs' extinction was the crash of an asteroid on Earth's surface. It was a huge
asteroid (about 10 kilometers in width) that crashed against Earth. Its crash made a gigantic crater in Mexico. The crash caused total climatic shifts
and changes in the temperature of the atmosphere. The crash also produced a great gas cloud around Earth that resulted in total darkness. It was
this explosion that might have led to the complete extinction of the dinosaurs from the face of Earth.

How does the author use the final paragraph of the text to refine her idea
Someone please answer this. the passage is. i’ll give you brainliest.
“Open your eyes!” the voice commanded. “We must hurry away from here!”
I blinked again. Before me sat a girl, her right cheek scarred . . . , her eyes swollen with fatigue.
’Twas Isabel, who was my friend.
I blinked for the third time and took a deep breath. Isabel’s hands lay in her lap, bleeding from torn blisters. The handles of both oars were bloodstained where she had gripped them.
Like a flint hitting steel, a memory sparked, then flared.
Isabel had freed me from the Bridewell Prison. She’d rowed a boat, this ancient boat, all night long. Rowed us away from Manhattan, the British army, and those who owned us.
The memory exploded.
We are free!
I stood, legs quivering, head pounding, heart leaping. “You did it! How? Don’t matter. Country, you did it!”
She shook her head violently and pulled me back down to my seat, a shaky finger on her lips to quiet me. “Hush!”
“But it’s wondrous,” I said, voice low. “Is it not?”
“Yes,” she whispered. “No.” The wind swirled a veil of snow between us. “Perhaps.”
“Do you know of a safe house hereabouts?” I asked. “The name of folks who would help us?”
“We have to help ourselves.” She looked over her shoulder at the field beyond the riverbank. “We have a handful of silver coins, some meat, and a map. I forged a pass too, but the river ruined it.” She wrung out the water from the bottom of her skirt. “We have to walk to Charleston.” . . .
The river gurgled and tugged, trying to pull the boat back into the current. I clutched at the sides of the unsteady craft and shivered. Isabel had brought us this far. Now it was up to me.
But how?
We were escaped slaves, half froze and exhausted. We needed to warm ourselves, sleep, and eat. But above all, we had to stay hidden. The business of returning or selling runaways was profitable for both redcoats and rebels.
I tallied our advantages: A few coins. Food enough for a few meals. Disadvantages: No horse. No gun. No one to trust.
A large piece of ice floated down the river as the second truth crackled in me.
This freedom could kill us.

If left untreated, stress can have detrimental impacts on both physical and mental health, and can lead to conditions such as heart disease, insomnia and depression.

Which genre uses techniques such as figurative language to explore thoughts about a subject in a concise way?
O lyric poem
O novel
O tragedy
O expository essay
Answer:
The answer is a lyric poem.
Explanation:
A lyric poem is short, highly musical verse that conveys powerful feelings. The poet may use rhyme, meter, or other literary devices to create a song-like quality. A lyric poem is a private expression of emotion by a single speaker. For example, American poet Emily Dickinson described inner feelings when she wrote her lyric poem that begins, "I felt a Funeral, in my Brain, / And Mourners to and fro."
Song lyrics often begin as lyric poems. In ancient Greece, lyric poetry was, in fact, combined with music played on a U-shaped stringed instrument called a lyre. Through words and music, great lyric poets like Sappho (ca. 610–570 B.C.) poured out feelings of love and yearning.
Lyric poetry also has no prescribed form. Sonnets, villanelles, rondeaus, and pantoums are all considered lyric poems. So are elegies, odes, and most occasional (or ceremonial) poems. When composed in free verse, lyric poetry achieves musicality through literary devices such as alliteration, assonance, and anaphora.

Explanation:
The author conveys the joy in the excerpt through the use of an allusion. The correct option is a.
What is an allusion?Allusion is a figure of speech, in which an object or circumstance from unrelated context is referred to covertly or indirectly. It is left to the audience to make the direct connection.
Where the connection is directly and explicitly stated as opposed to indirectly implied by the author, it is instead usually termed a reference. In the arts, a literary allusion puts the alluded text in a new context under which it assumes new meanings and negotiations. It is not possible to predetermine the nature of all the new meanings and inter-textual patterns that an allusion will generate. Literary allusion is closely related to parody and pastiche, which are also "text-linking" literary devices.
In a wider, more informal context, an allusion is a passing or casually short statement indicating broader meaning.

Explanation:
Steven Ainsley in a recent commentary rightly observes that "making the conscious decision to avoid jury duty has immediate ramifications, all of them negative." He insists that "the message we send to our children is that civic responsibility is a trivial part of our lives, easily dismissed, and that there is little value to the notion of the importance of community."
Hi. Although you submitted a text, you did not submit any questions related to it. This prevents me from giving you any answers. However, when searching for your text on the internet, I was able to find it in a question that asked for the central idea of this text to be explained. If that's the case with your question, I hope the answer below can help you. If this is not the case with your question, the explanation below will make you better understand the text above, which will make your search for answers easier.
The main idea of a text is the message that the author expects you to understand after reading. After reading the text above, we can see that the main idea is the idea of how participation in a jury should be understood as something important and essential in our lives as citizens. This is because, according to the interpretation of the text, the author shows that the participation of a jury gives an example to children and young people, about how this participation is important and it is a social duty that allows the exercise of justice in the country. This is a duty to the country, society and citizens. Thus, when a citizen refuses the call to participate in a jury, he erases all the importance that this act means for everyone's life and acts as if the jury were something trivial, setting a bad example for the next generations.
Answer:
People in America try their best to get out of serving on a jury. Mr. Ainsley said we are creating a domino effect with our children showing them that our civil duty is not important. Our community is at stake if we do not serve and show support of our laws.
