Read the excerpt from "The Tarantulas of Pie Town" by Jennifer Owings Dewey. Which sentence in the passage best gets across the author’s message?
The Tarantulas of Pie Town

I ripped off the blindfold and stared into the tiny blue pool. Six huge tarantulas were swimming about in slow motion. Their legs brushed against my calves as they cruised in lazy circles.

"Whoa!" I yelled, leaping out.

"Thought you said you didn't fear these critters?" one of the men said. He was nearly doubled over, laughing.

"Don't take it personally," one cowboy said. "We do this to greenhorns every summer."

I was more shocked than afraid. I stuck around awhile and watched the spiders. Like me, they were hotter than was comfortable and trying to cool off.

I noticed the wading pool was old, with patches and sagging sides.

"The café owner knows about the spiders," a cowboy said. "They come for a swim on hot days. The owner, he keeps clear of the spiders, but runs water into the pool for their sakes."

It struck me as just what a cowboy-out-west person would do: fear something and be kind to it at the same time.

After this trip to Pie Town I was treated no differently from any other cowhand on the ranch. I'd won my spurs.

The answers you can choose from are...
1. I ripped off the blindfold and stared into the tiny blue pool. Six huge tarantulas were swimming about in slow motion. Their legs brushed against my calves as they cruised in lazy circles.
2. I was more shocked than afraid. I stuck around awhile and watched the spiders. Like me, they were hotter than was comfortable and trying to cool off.

In my opinion, good looks and behaving childishly is what the standard is these days. It's not that the people who have extraordinary skill, courage, and determination did anything wrong or are missing a step in accomplishing their goals, it's the people. In this day and age, teens have the need to support people that make them laugh even if the subject is revolting. For example, an app includes many talented people, but those people don't get enough recognition because some teens just aren't interested in a majority of the people that actually have talent, instead, they focus on hyping up people that do a small dance with their arms and have an appealing appearance. If we change today's standards and revolve into a more knowledgeable society, talented people that actually deserve fame would get what they deserve.

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

The morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. The little blind children at the Perkins Institution had sent it and Laura Bridgman had dressed it; but I did not know this until afterward. When I had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "d-o-l-l." I was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly I was flushed with childish pleasure and pride. Running downstairs to my mother I held up my hand and made the letters for doll. I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. In the days that followed I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk. But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything has a name. I left the well-house eager to learn. Everything had a name, and each name gave birth to a new thought. As we returned to the house every object which I touched seemed to quiver with life. That was because I saw everything with the strange, new sight that had come to me.

Read the following excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass, by Fredrick Douglass.

When I was sent of errands, I always took my book with me, and by doing one part of my errand quickly, I found time to get a lesson before my return. I used also to carry bread with me, enough of which was always in the house, and to which I was always welcome; for I was much better off in this regard than many of the poor white children in our neighborhood. This bread I used to bestow upon the hungry little urchins, who, in return, would give me that more valuable bread of knowledge. I am strongly tempted to give the names of two or three of those little boys, as a testimonial of the gratitude and affection I bear them; but prudence forbids;—not that it would injure me, but it might embarrass them; for it is almost an unpardonable offence to teach slaves to read in this Christian country.

C The tale expands upon the thoughts and opinions of the character telling the story.
D The prologue follows the characters that appear throughout the larger frame story.
E The tale is part of a larger story with tales of the same plot and theme.

Options A and C are the correct options. These options show that: "The tale maintains the characters and narrative of the ongoing larger frame story" e "The tale expands upon the thoughts and opinions of the character telling the story."

Definition of prologue and tale:Tale is a more extensive and detailed narrative.The prologue presents basic and subjective information.The tale focuses on the events, thoughts, and opinions of the characters.

Thus, in the tale, we can perceive a larger picture of the elements of the story. Also, the control expands on the characters' opinions and thoughts, something the prologue doesn't.

HELP I NEED A 4 PARA GRAPH ESSAY "Write an informative essay on the Great Chicago Fire. Your essay will use research to explain what caused the fire to burn out of control"

Answers

Answer:

please mark me as brainliest and thank me .it took me lot of time to type your answer.

Explanation:

The Chicago Fire of 1871, also called the Great Chficago Fire, burned from October 8 to October 10, 1871, and destroyed thousands of buildings, killed an estimated 300 people and caused an estimated $200 million in damages. Legend has it that a cow kicked over a lantern in a barn and started the fire, but other theories hold that humans or even a meteor might have been responsible for the event that left an area of about four miles long and almost a mile wide of the Windy City, including its business district, in ruins. Following the blaze, reconstruction efforts began quickly and spurred great economic development and population growth.

Chicago Fire: October 1871

In October 1871, dry weather and an abundance of wooden buildings, streets and sidewalks made Chicago vulnerable to fire. The Great Chicago Fire began on the night of October 8, in or around a barn located on the property of Patrick and Catherine O’Leary at 137 DeKoven Street on the city’s southwest side. Legend holds that the blaze started when the family’s cow knocked over a lighted lantern; however, Catherine O’Leary denied this charge, and the true cause of the fire has never been determined. What is known is that the fire quickly grew out of control and moved rapidly north and east toward the city center.

The fire burned wildly throughout the following day, finally coming under control on October 10, when rain gave a needed boost to firefighting efforts. The Great Chicago Fire left an estimated 300 people dead and 100,000 others homeless. More than 17,000 structures were destroyed and damages were estimated at $200 million.

The disaster prompted an outbreak of looting and lawlessness. Companies of soldiers were summoned to Chicago and martial law was declared on October 11, ending three days of chaos. Martial law was lifted several weeks later.

Chicago fire after math:

The month after the fire, Joseph Medill (1823-99) was elected mayor after promising to institute stricter building and fire codes, a pledge that may have helped him win the office. His victory might also be attributable to the fact that most of the city’s voting records were destroyed in the fire, so it was next to impossible to keep people from voting more than once.

Despite the fire’s devastation, much of Chicago’s physical infrastructure, including its transportation systems, remained intact. Reconstruction efforts began quickly and spurred great economic development and population growth, as architects laid the foundation for a modern city featuring the world’s first skyscrapers. At the time of the fire, Chicago’s population was approximately 324,000; within nine years, there were some 500,000 Chicagoans. By 1890, the city was a major economic and transportation hub with an estimated population of more than 1 million people. (In America, only New York City had a larger population at the time.) In 1893, Chicago hosted the World’s Columbian Exposition, a tourist attraction visited by some 27.5 million people.

Today, the Chicago Fire Department training academy is located on the site of the O’Leary property where the Great Chicago Fire started. In 1997, the Chicago City Council passed a resolution exonerating Catherine O’Leary, an Irish immigrant who died in 1895, and her cow.

What is peer-review?

The process of having a draft version of a researcher's techniques and findings assessed (typically anonymously) by specialists (or "peers") in the same field is known as scholarly peer review or academic peer review. Peer review is extensively used to assist academic publishers in determining whether a work should be accepted, regarded acceptable with amendments, or rejected for formal publishing in an academic journal, monograph, or conference proceedings.

The system of peer review is used to evaluate the quality of a paper before it is published. Independent scholars in the appropriate study area evaluate submitted manuscripts for originality, validity, and significance to assist editors in deciding whether to publish a publication in their journal.

Therefore, peers can help us provide helpful comments to empathy in a peer-review process.
