A essay about a person who became a hero

Answers

Answer:

hi

Explanation:

Heroes have to consist of many things. They have to be brave, have good morals, and help out society in some way. These are only a few standards of becoming a hero. Someone can be a hero to someone else and not even know it. Not only can the big people be heroes, but the small ones as well. No matter what size or character one is he/she can become a hero. By portraying the characteristics of loyalty, bravery, and the willingness to help out someone or something in society. They must also have valued morals.

            The perfect hero I would imagine is someone who can defend others, not only by fighting, but standing up for what is right. They should also be able to correct the wrongs in society or at least some of them. Bravery is probably one of the most important factors of a hero. How is one going to pursue someone or something if they are scared? No one wants to have a wimp for a hero. Having good morals is another characteristic of becoming a hero. People look at others who have high valued morals with respect and envy. I know I wish my morals were higher than what they are. That is why heroes come about, to set examples and become leaders to others in society. That brings me to my last point on being a perfect hero.

            A hero must do well within society. What is a hero if he has done nothing good? A hero must be able to make wise decisions to better the people within society. They must stand up for what is right, express how others should act towards each other. The ideal hero does not have to be Superman with superhuman powers or anything like that, but one that is able to set examples, protect others, and have highly valued morals.

            Many people can portray these features, but not just any old somebody can be your own hero. It depends on your personality as well as theirs. Why would one have a hero that does not share the same interests as one another?

Part A According to "The Writing on the Wall," how did the men who wrote poems on the walls of the Angel Island Immigration Station feel about who and what they had left behind them in China?

Answers

Answer:

They feel sad and melancholy about everything they have left in China and about the uncertainty of their own future.

Explanation:

"The Writing on the Wall," is a poem that shows the reality of Chinese men who left their families to try to improve their lives in the USA. These men were held in immigration centers, waiting for their entry into the country to be admitted or not. While waiting for the decision of the American government, men write poems about the moment they were living and about the homesickness of their homeland and the things and people they left there. The things and people who stayed in China, were seen by them with sadness and melancholy, as can be seen in the lines:

Describe O'Connell's diction and the tone it creates. How do his word choice and syntax reflect his position as California State Superintendent of Public Instruction?

Answers

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

Given that O'Connell holds the position of California State Superintendent of Public Instruction, we can say that he used a formal diction promoting a tone of respect, ethics and relevance. This is because, the position he holds requires that he promote formal speeches, which reinforces the need to use a more formal diction, through more elaborate words and that does not present colloquialism or slang. This shows a tone of respect for the position he has and the subject he is addressing, in addition to promoting ethics and removing the feeling of something relaxed.

Which response most accurately explains how Mundra develops a theme of the story?


By continuously refusing to do as she is told, she develops the theme that resistance is an effective means of protest.


By remaining silent when scolded by the older woman, she develops the theme that in times of conflict, the decision not to react may be safest.

By completing tasks that would be impossible for anyone else, she develops the theme that stubbornness may be a source of tremendous strength.


By ignoring the rejection of those around her, she develops the theme that despite the opinions of others, each person has something positive to offer.

Answers

Answer:

By remaining silent when scolded by the older woman, she develops the theme that in times of conflict, the decision not to react may be safest.

Explanation:

According to the passage, the response that most accurately explains how Mundra develops a theme of the story is 'By remaining silent when scolded by the older woman, she develops the theme that in times of conflict, the decision not to react may be safest.'

This is because Mundra who had been ill-treated since her husband's death grew too wise by that time that she chose not say anything to her mother-in-law.

Mundra was also very tired from all the endless work and chores she did at home. She knew that nothing good can come from arguing with her mother-in-law so she chose to remain silent when she scolded her.

Answer:

Part A: By remaining silent when scolded by the older woman, she develops the theme that in times of conflict, the decision not to react may be safest.

Part B: Evidently too wise and too tired for words, the little creature, recovering her balance, quietly but not without great difficulty, lifted the big, brass jar and, putting it upon her head, started off down the village street.

bad effect of using mobile phone paragraph writing 100 to 150 words​

Answers

Mobile phone is a very useful and essential gadget in our daily life. When used in moderation does not cause much harm. It is only when people use it unnecessarily and excessively, it leads to troubles. Talking over mobile phones for several minutes to hours over useless and insignificant topics is simply a waste of time.
It is one of the commonest abuses of this technological gadget. Doctors keep cautioning people that excessive and continuous use of phones is damaging for the health of a person. The rays that emit from these phones can lead to hearing problems and can impact other organs too over a prolonged period of excessive usage.
Another common abuse includes listening to high volume music. This is especially seen among teenagers who have a tendency to keep their phone in their pockets and put ear phones in their ears. This is a very common sight among people. They walk or drive on busy roads, or listen to high volume music. This makes them incapable to listen to the horn of an approaching vehicle. By not taking timely action it causes casualties. A lot of injuries happen in this way on a day to day basis.
Mobile phones can be very annoying sometimes. Its multipurpose use, and easy accessibility to internet has created problems related to user’s privacy. Nowadays, it has become mandatory to enter the phone number in every form or a new facility that we wish to take. Due to which people get annoyed by unwanted and unnecessary marketing calls that aims to sell their product. People get disturbed taking calls from marketing executives, insurance agents, etc. to buy their product, avail loan etc. who are not keen in any of these services.

At what stages of the writing process should you primarily be thinking about ordering your ideas?

A. Drafting and proofreading
B. Planning and drafting
C. Prewriting and revising
D. Planning and editing

Answers

You should order your ideas before writing the text, when you are still deciding what to write, elaborating your ideas and planning how they will be presented. So the correct answer to your question is option B.

Planning and drafting are two crucial steps in the writing process, as they are responsible for organizing the ideas that will guide the text to be written.

In the Planning phase, the writer starts thinking about the subject he wants to write about. This phase allows the author to recognize his theme, how he intends to structure the text, which ideas he intends to present and how these ideas will be researched and organized.

Then begins the drafting phase, where the writer begins to put the thoughts they had in the previous step on paper, creating topics that connect the ideas and show how they will be presented, as well as specifying the research material and evidence that will be presented.

You can find more information about this at the link below:
