The Reunion
Kathy Hufford
1 David was really looking forward to summer vacation this year. He didn't mind working hard in school but he was impatient for summer vacation
because he would get to see his Midwest cousins this summer. That's what he called his cousins from Kansas and Missouri. Since David and his
family lived near the gulf coast, the Midwest cousins traveled south for a family reunion on the beach every other year.
2 The crowd was going to be bigger than usual this year. Grandma told David they were expecting over 50 aunts, uncles and cousins for the week at
the beach. Some of his dad's cousins had gotten married or had new babies since he saw them two years ago.
3 David wasn't sure there would be anyone close to his age at the reunion this year. David had always enjoyed tagging along with the older boys
while swimming or playing ball on the beach. Now that he was almost twelve, some of the older cousins were finishing college. Some cousins were
getting married. David wondered if they would still want to hang out with him. Would they be acting like the rest of the grown ups now?
4 David decided that maybe it was his turn to introduce the younger ones to games on the beach. He reminded himself that's how family traditions
are carried on. No matter what, David knew that the reunion would be fun and he looked forward to seeing family members both old and new

Write in a paragraph on what events are similar in tkam ad real life

Answer:

In To Kill a Mockingbird, children live in an inventive world where mysteries abound but little exists to actually cause them harm. Scout and Jem spend much of their time inventing stories about their reclusive neighbor Boo Radley, gleefully scaring themselves before rushing to the secure, calming presence of their father, Atticus. As the novel progresses, however, the imaginary threat that Boo Radley poses pales in comparison to the real dangers Jem and Scout encounter in the adult world. The siblings’ recognition of the difference between the two pushes them out of childhood and toward maturity, and as they make that transition, Boo Radley, their childhood bogeyman, helps serve as link between their past and their present.

The Dawn’s Awake
By Otto Leland Bohanan

The Dawn’s awake!
A flash of smoldering flame and fire
Ignites the East. Then, higher, higher,
O’er all the sky so gray, forlorn1,
The torch of gold is borne.

The Dawn’s awake!
The dawn of a thousand dreams and thrills.
And music singing in the hills
A paean2 of eternal spring.
Voices the new awakening.

The Dawn’s awake!
Whispers of pent-up harmonies,
With the mingled fragrance of the trees;
Faint snatches of half-forgotten song--
Fathers! Torn and numb,--
The boon of light we craved, awaited long,
Has come, has come!

1Pitifully sad and abandoned or lonely
2A song of praise or triumph

Directions: Identify the type of figurative language that best fits the bolded words or phrases. Then explain how each one helps develop imagery within the poem. Remember that your responses should be at least 3-5 sentences in length.

The Black Land
By Joseph Warren Beach

I will pough the land,
Turning up the black soil.
I will ride upon this heaving surface
As a boat rides upon the water.
Even as a boat
Cleaving the water with an eager keel,
I have run a furrow1
Straight across the ridges.

I will sow down this field,
Scattering gems.
With both hands will I scatter
Quivering emeralds out of a bottomless pouch.

As I tread the loam2
My feet sink deep.
The black earth embraces my ankles
And clings to my bent knees.

I sing as I go
Scattering emeralds.
The wind sings upon my lips,
And pearls stream off my neck and forehead.
I am bathed in a sweat of pearls.

Eyes straight forward
Rest on a brightening ultimate slope.

1A long narrow trench made in the ground by a plow.
2Soil with equal amounts of sand, silt, and clay.

Directions: Identify the type of figurative language that best fits the bolded words or phrases. Then explain how each one helps develop imagery within the poem. Remember that your responses should be at least 5-7 sentences in length.

I will ride upon this heaving surface / As a boat rides upon the water.

The black earth embraces my ankles / And clings to my bent knees.



And pearls stream off my neck and forehead. I am bathed in a sweat of pearls.

Go Back Through Your Introduction and Conclusion

Have Someone Proofread Your Essay to see if you did good

Use Quotations

Read Your Paper Out Loud to see if it is good

Add Supporting Evidence

Ensure that You’ve Included Everything

Breakup Paragraphs

Answer:

Well first off, start at the beginning. Make sure you include sufficient background information, a good hook, and a good thesis. Background info are usually 2-4 sentences. The hook and thesis should be 1 sentence. (2 is max and pushing it).

For the body paragraphs:

Thesis statements at the beginning should be 1 sentence long.

The evidence should be good to well support what you are explaining, informing, entertaining, or arguing about. In a body paragraph, there is usually 1 to 2 evidences. 2 is better because it supports your reasons more. Along with these evidences comes the elaboration. These elaborations seem to want to be 1 sentence long, but don't let it make you. You should write maybe 2-4 sentences of elaboration, with 4 kind of pushing it. Make sure these sentences aren't run-on sentences as it can mislead information and take the reader away from the main topic. Transitions/restating the reason should take 1-2 sentences (2 pushing it a little).

If you are doing a argumentative essay, you will also include the counterclaim/argument. This will be 1-3 sentences long, where you describe the other side, give A reason why their side is somewhat better, than come back with saying why your reason is superior to the counter argument.

Finally, you have the conclusion. This will be restating your claim/thesis, adding a little background/forward thinking into it as well. Try leaving the reader with something to think about. The conclusions should usually be around 4 or 5 sentences.
