Sharks' Teeth
By Langston Carter

The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.

We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.

Read this sentence from the text:

The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste.

Which of the following best explains the phrase like a recently frosted chocolate cake?

This is a fragment because it is a dependent clause. Sentences must contain at least one independent clause, which contains a subject and verb and is a complete thought. Because this fragment starts with the word "when," it cannot be a full sentence, because the thought is not complete. For it to be a sentence, it would have to say something like "When the waiter slipped on the puddle of water, he dropped his tray full of food." Hope this helps!

“I have a Dream”


1. Where, when and to whom was the speech delivered?

2. Describe the TONE or MOOD in one complete sentence

3. What is a main argument being made? One sentence

4. In your own words, what is one CLAIM the speaker is making and what EVIDENCE supports that claim?

5. Quote a powerful line form the speech and explain why it speaks to you.(or if not to you, why it might speak to others)

6. Identify and explain one ALLUSION in each speech

Answers

Answer: 1) the speech was delivered to a massive group of civil rights marchers gathered around the Lincoln memorial in Washington DC.

2)buoyant and hopeful and all with a sense of determination.

3) is that one-hundred years after the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed the slaves, African Americans were still treated as inferior people in the United States.

4)that America has not yet made significant progress in awarding civil rights and fair treatment to African-Americans.

5) “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

6)Martin Luther King, Jr. used the phrase “Five score years ago…” in his “I Have a Dream” speech. This is a reference to President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, which originally began with “Four score and seven years ago…” As you can see, King's phrasing is a subtle reference, hence an allusion

Explanation: hope this helps:)

Answer:1).August 28 Martin Luther King, Jr. delivers "I Have a Dream" speech at the March on Washington On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., the African American civil rights movement reaches its high-water mark when Martin Luther King, Jr., speaks to about 250,000 people attending the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

2)I would say the speech was really outgoing.

3)Around the time he wrote his famed “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” King decided to move forward with the idea for another event that coordinated with Negro American Labor Council (NACL) founder A. Philip Randolph’s plans for a job rights march.

4)Speaking during the march on Washington, D.C. in 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. claims that African Americans have come to the nation's capital to cash "a promissory note," a note that must be honored or there will be no tranquility in America.

5) “If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”. “Only in the darkness can you see the stars.”. – Martin Luther King Jr.

6)Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream Speech," delivered on the National Mall on August 28, 1963—one of the most (if not the most) powerful statements on the urgency of equality and civil rights for Black Americans—is in part a product of King's background as a Baptist minister, in which powerful rhetoric and figurative language (such as allusion) plays a role in every sermon. The speech is grounded in the sermon tradition, with its rich texture of imagery, metaphor, allusion, and passion.

King begins his allusive pattern in the second paragraph of the speech:

Five score years ago a great American in whose symbolic shadow we stand today signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

With his use of five score years ago, King is alluding to the Gettysburg Address, given by Abraham Lincoln to commemorate the cemetery at Gettysburg in 1863, a short speech that is often considered the speech that began to make America whole again during the Civil War, even though the war had two more years to run.

The answer is Motif .

A motif is a recurring concept or story element in literature. It includes concepts such as types of incident or situation, as in the parting of lovers at dawn; plot devices, such as the lady's love token, which inspires courage in her lover, or the recognition tokens in plots of mistaken identity; plot formulas, such as the "loathly lady" who later becomes a beautiful princess, or the "femme fatale" whose attraction proves deadly; and character types, such as the despairing lover, conquering hero, or wicked stepmother. In a more narrow sense, "motif" is also used to describe recurring elements within particular works, such as phrases, descriptions, or patterns of imagery.

Compulsive Hoarding

What Is a Hoarder?
A hoarder is a person who accumulates objects and keeps them for future use. Most people like to collect a thing or two of sentimental value. Some collect photographs, stamps, books, movies, or music. However, some people hoard excessively. According to psychologist David Tolin, two to five percent of Americans may meet the criteria for being compulsive hoarders. The problem is more common than people may think.

The Reasons for Hoarding
Compulsive hoarders have a difficult time getting rid of items that the average person considers to be trash. Hoarders find their possessions, even objects such as junk mail, too valuable. They become attached to certain objects and have trouble letting go of them. Hoarders also assume that things most people easily throw away might be useful someday. Thus, hoarders become a burden to both their families and communities. They can even pose serious health risks to themselves and others.

The Problems with Hoarding
Compulsive hoarding is problematic because hoarders are unable to function like regular people. Collecting too much stuff can leave little space for cooking, cleaning, getting around, and even sleeping. The vermin and mold that gather around the hoarded material pose health risks. However, the worst problem that hoarders have to face is dealing with family members and friends. Family members and friends often do not know how to help hoarders. As a result, many of these relationships are strained.

The Help Hoarders Need
Most hoarders do not see their unusual behavior as a serious problem. Because hoarders see nothing wrong with their behavior, they rarely seek help. Often, disgruntled family members attempt to help and seek assistance for the hoarders. Because hoarding is a serious problem, the help needed to break the habit needs to be substantial. Hoarders need help to understand that their collections are simply clutter and often a health risk. They need to understand that trash, like a used Band-Aid, should carry no sentimental value and is not worth keeping.



Which detail would be most important to include in a summary of the passage?
A.
A used Band-Aid should not be kept for future use.
B.
Psychologists know how to help people who hoard.
C.
Some people enjoy collecting things such as books, music, or stamps.
D.
Hoarders are attached to objects that most people can easily get rid of.

Why is the verse an example of iambic pentameter

Answers

Answer:

You haven't provided the verse you were given, but I can answer your question anyway.

A pentameter is a type of a verse line that consists of five metrical feet.

One type of metrical feet is called an iamb. One iamb consists of an unaccented (unstressed) syllable followed by an accented (stressed) syllable.

Based on this information, we can conclude that the iambic pentameter is a line that consists of five iambs. It was often used by William Shakespeare. The following verse from Shakespeare's A Midnight Night's Dream is a good example of iambic pentameter:

And I do love thee: therefore, go with me;

I'll give thee fairies to attend on thee,

And they shall fetch thee jewels from the deep,

And sing while thou on pressed flowers dost sleep

Read the details from "The Workers of Ellis Island" and think about the central idea they support. Because he was only allowed to admit persons who were "clearly and beyond a doubt entitled to enter the United States," he had to be absolutely certain the person he was examining was not a member of one of the classes of persons barred from entering the country . . . . Ellis Island doctors were particularly watching for signs of contagious diseases. Incurable diseases included trachoma and tuberculosis and guaranteed a return trip to where the immigrant came from. Which supporting detail also supports the same central idea?

Answers

Answer:

The detail that supports the central idea of the text is: All foreigners who arrived at the port of New York underwent an investigation before being able to enter the city.

Explanation:

The text above shows how the entry into New York City was controlled and judicious. This is because there was a group of people who were not welcome in the city and for security reasons these people were not allowed to enter, since New York received a large number of foreigners who were looking for better living conditions. Sick people, or showing signs of contagious disease were not allowed. For this reason, before allowing foreigners to enter, it was necessary for everyone to go through an investigation process that proved that they had no diseases, nor that they would cause disorder, so that they could enter the city.
