The strangeness of what we were about to do, the unearthliness of it, overwhelmed me. I was like a man awakened out of pleasant dreams to the most horrible surroundings.

Based on what the author tells you in chapters 2 and 3 of The Outsiders, what kind of character is Cherry Valance?

someone help turn this into a passive voice it's for my bestie "They had built the houses before the war started"

Select the correct text in the passage.
Which three lines in the speech "Blood, Toll, Tears, and Sweat" demonstrate Winston Churchill's prediction of how war will impact Great Britain's
future?
I hope that any of my friends and colleagues, or former colleagues, who are affected by the political reconstruction, will make all allowances for
any lack of ceremony with which it has been necessary to act. I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined the government"
have nothing to offer but blood, toll, tears and sweat."
We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what
is our policy? I will say, it is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war
against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our
aim? I can answer in one word: victory. Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for
without victory, there is no survival. Let that be realised, no survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood
for, no survival for the urge and impulse of the ages, that mankind will move forward towards its goal
But I take up my task with buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fall among men

Reread Emily Dickinson's Poem 26, looking for examples of inverted syntax.
26

There came a wind like a bugle;
It quivered through the grass,
And a green chill upon the heat
So ominous did pass
We barred the windows and the doors
As from an emerald ghost;
The doom's electric moccasin
That very instant passed.
On a strange mob of panting trees,
And fences fled away,
And rivers where the houses ran
The living looked that day.
The bell within the steeple wild
The flying tidings whirled.
How much can come
And much can go,
And yet abide the world!

Emily Dickinson

Superhero 101: A Family Secret

Trace knew he would have to try to explain to his grandmother why he had missed her birthday party. He was dreading the conversation and the lie that he would inevitably have to tell. He thought telling her the truth would only open a Pandora’s box. He rang the doorbell, and his grandmother answered right away, like she had been waiting for him. He had called and told her he would try to come by sometime that day, but he had not given her a precise time.

She greeted him warmly, and he followed her into the kitchen where she had her customary jar of fresh-baked cookies ready for his indulgence. His grandmother was endearingly predictable. She had a daily routine and rarely deviated from it. Trace thought that given her lifestyle and penchant for routine and order, there was no way she would ever understand his life as Beetleman. He hated that he had no choice but to lie to his grandmother, whom he loved so much.

They sat at the kitchen table. His grandmother poured him an ice-cold glass of milk and filled a plate with her delicious chocolate chip cookies. Before he had a chance to apologize, his grandmother spoke. “Trace, I’m glad you called and came by today. I know you’re upset about missing my birthday party, but before you say anything about it, there is something I want to show you,” she said.

She went to a drawer and retrieved what appeared to be a large bracelet cuff made of silver. She handed it to Trace. He looked at it carefully. His grandmother moved his hands and pointed to something inscribed on the inside of the bracelet. “Look at this. It's what I wanted you to see,” she said as Trace read the words “Family First.” His heart sank when he read those words and recounted all the times that he had to sacrifice time with his family for his secret life.

His grandmother noticed his dejected expression. “Trace, I didn’t show you this to make you feel bad about your choices. I know that they aren’t always yours to make. This cuff belonged to your grandfather. He had those words inscribed because they are what kept him going and allowed him to make those same tough choices.”

Trace stared at this grandmother. What was she saying? His grandfather was a superhero too?

She continued, “Your grandfather loved helping people, just like you do. That’s where you got your gift—from him. Many times he had to miss family parties and outings because of his calling. But I always knew he did it for us—family first.”

Trace was astounded. He’d had no idea that his grandfather was a superhero; now he realized that he no longer had to lie to his grandmother. His parents had died when he was very young, and his grandparents had raised him. He recalled his grandfather missing his 10th birthday party and how upset and angry he had been at his grandfather. He had cried himself to sleep that night, wrongly thinking that he was not important to his grandfather.

Trace looked at the bracelet carefully, realizing that to him, it was as precious as the Hope diamond. He glanced up at his grandmother.

“His love for his family was his kryptonite,” his grandmother continued. “The only time he was weak was when you or I were in danger. He couldn’t bear the thought of anything happening to us after what happened to your parents.”

Lord of the Flies by William Golding is a book about the brutality and inhumanity that arises between children when they are deserted. In this book, at least 20 kids are stranded on an island with no grownups, only themselves. They have to learn how to survive without adults and chaos plays a big factor in this novel. Throughout the book they make rules and try to stay organized, but they ultimately cannot deal with themselves without the outside world and become leviathans. The conch, the beast, and the hunting show the boys descent into savagery.


The conch shows many themes all through this book. Though, the most frequent theme is how it did more harm than good. In the beginning of LOTF it shows how the conch created some ‘organization’ in the group. This conch is the only thing that keeps them from tearing each other apart. Even Jack Merridew, who was known for causing turmoil respected the conch, “He laid the conch with great care in the grass at his feet” (22). Yet, towards the end of the book, the conch caused a few bad things to happen. “The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist” (181). In this quote, Roger “with a sense of delirious abandonment” pushed down the lever so that the rock would come down and cause a ruckus. I theorize that Roger had felt left out of all the madness happening below him, that he had to do something to put attention on him. This shows, that the conch causes lunacy. The attention was on Piggy because he had the conch, therefore because Roger did not have the conch he felt left out and craved attention, and it drove him to do something drastic. Whoever holds the conch always has the attention on them. Piggy says, “I got the conch, I got the right to speak” (44). In this quote, the boys let the fire go out and Piggy has something to say about it. No one likes to listen to Piggy, but because he has the conch it is only fair that they listen to him, since that is the rule. Ralph made the rule that whoever has the conch has the right to speak and everyone has to listen. Democracy was established with the conch. Overall, the conch caused quite a lot of bad things to happen.
