What is the difference between Jeffrey archer and W. Somerset Maugham?
Explanation:
Secure copies of the "The Luncheon" by W. Somerset Maugham for half the class and copies of "The Luncheon" by Jeffrey Archer for half the class.
Prepare two overheads with prereading questions or write the questions on the board. (See Session 1 for prereading questions.)
For those unfamiliar with the short stories featured in this lesson, a brief synopsis of each is provided.
"The Luncheon," by W. Somerset Maugham:
The narrator, a book writer, recognizes a woman with whom he had lunch years ago. He starts remembering the unforgettable evening. He was young, living in Paris, and could barely make ends meet. She had read one of his books and wrote to congratulate him on his work. He invited her for lunch and to his horror she chose an expensive restaurant. He had only eighty francs to last him the rest of the month. She ordered one expensive dish after another and when the bill came he paid and was left with no money at all. However, in the end, the narrator feels that he has finally had his revenge when he sees that the woman now weighs twenty-one stone (approximately 300 pounds).
"The Luncheon," by Jeffrey Archer
The narrator, a book writer, meets a woman whom he doesn't recognize at first, but pretends to remember because she is a famous film director's wife. He invites her to have lunch, but can only afford a cheap meal with his paltry £37.63. She chooses an expensive restaurant, far beyond his means, and proceeds to order the most exorbitant dishes on the menu. When the meal is over and the narrator is left with very little money, the woman confesses that she has divorced the film director and married another man, who just so happens to be the owner of the restaurant.

Answer:
Here’s what I know,
Explanation:
Never be unselfish, try to do something good that will make others feel motivated of your actions. I know we are used to think of ourselves first, but sometimes you have to do a change, show change. Think how other people fell under situations that are very dangerous, take your time to show the world we humans can control nature sometimes, we can save lives, we can be heroes.
Most people actually get to help others but because they want something in return, and that’s not being nice at all. When we get to help others in situations like this one on the story, we help them because we care about others and we are not being selfish only thinking about ourselves. The man who rescued the people from the plane crash in the story, he showed us that he did it because he cared and did it with his heart. We shouldn’t be selfish and help others, and in fact, we can help ourselves first in situations like this one but after that, start thinking about the other ones.
In the Chapter "On the Rainy River," O'Brien recounts a parade of people watching
and cheering him on from the shoreline as he makes the choice not to run from the
draft. This group includes people from his past and his future, including his family,
politicians, and people he had not even met at that point in his life. Which of the
following is the most likely reason to include these people from the future in this
story about his past?
O O'Brien was listing all the people he let down by wanting to flee the draft.
o O'Brien was hallucinating from taking too many drugs.
o O'Brien was trying to show how complicated the decision to flee the draft was.
o O'Brien wanted to show how this memory and moment was tied to all future ones.
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
The Things They Carried is a book written by Tim O'Brien, on war. The book is based mostly on his experience as a soldier.
In chapter titled 'On the Rainy River,' O'Brien shares that one day when he was filled with fear, he wrote a letter to his family and left for Canada. While on his way to Canada, he stayed with Elroy Berdahl in the Tip Top Lodge.
So, on his last day at lodge, O'Brien and Elroy went for fishing and reached near Canada on boat. But O'Brien makes a decision to go to war and he sees an audience cheering him as he returns.
The reason for listing these people is because they were the people whom he let down.
Therefore, option A is correct.

which sentence uses a semicolon correctly
Answer:
sentence no.1
Explanation:
Answer:
4
Explanation:
Semi colons are used for 2 independent sentences which are related.
Option 1 is WRONG because the words after the semicolon is not an independent sentence. If a "colon" was used here, it would be correct.
Option 2 is WRONG because of the same reasoning above, but using a "colon" here would still be wrong.
Option 3 is WRONG of the same reasoning for option 2.
Option 4 is CORRECT because it has 2 independent sentences combined with a semicolon which the topics are also related to eachother.

In lines 1-4,how does the speaker describe the world after the rain?
Read the excerpt from part 2 of Zeitoun.
As he paddled back to Claiborne, a hope flickered within Zeitoun that his siblings might see him on TV. Perhaps they would see what he was doing, that he had done something good by staying in his adopted city. The Zeitouns were proud, and there was plenty of sibling rivalry that had pushed them all to an array of achievements—all of them measured against the deeds of Mohammed. None of them had ever done something like that, none had achieved on his level. But Zeitoun felt again that perhaps this was his calling, that God had waited to put him here and now to test him in this way. And so he hoped, as silly as it seemed, that his siblings might see him like this.
Why does the author include Zeitoun’s thoughts?
to emphasize how his Muslim faith drives his actions
to illustrate how his strong familial bonds comfort him
to establish the way he competes with his siblings
to reveal the vain hopes held by Katrina survivors
Answer:
to emphasize how his Muslim faith drives his actions
Explanation:
When the author presents Zeitoun's thoughts, he intends to show how religiosity was influential in his life. This is because Zeiton believes that he only succeeded in his deeds because God was in control and it was God who had planned for him to get involved in the tasks and events that he got involved, because God was with him. This means that for Zeitun, the Muslim faith he carried was the driving force for his actions, achievements and victories.

Nadia had seen the best of times and the worst of times in her school. But, she had constantly maintained her grades. When Mrs. Sue came to Woodland High as the new English teacher, things changed for everyone, including Nadia. Mrs. Sue expected her students to be at the Advanced Placement level classes and challenged them each and every day.
It was no surprise when she tested her students' knowledge of world literature on the mid-term. During the quiz, the students were sweating like horses at the finish line of a racetrack on a Texas summer day.
"So, how was it?" Nadia asked her best friend Paul after the test. "Didn't see that coming."
"Oh, I thought it was pleasant," Paul replied, wiping sweat from his brow. "Like a root canal."
Why is Paul's response at the end of the story an example of verbal irony?
A. because he knows Nadia is smarter than him
B. because Nadia helps him study for the exam
C. because Mrs. Sue can actually hear his response
D. because he feels the exam was painfully tough
Answer: D. because he feels the exam was painfully tough
Explanation:
Verbal irony: a figure of speech when somebody means something other than what they said/they reality.
Paul says that the exam was as pleasant as a root canal, and root canals are not pleasant at all. This tells us that Paul did not find the exam nice, rather, he found it painful, hence he meant the opposite of what he actually said.
