What reasons does Jason Reynolds give to show that poetry can change someone's opinion about reading?

Answer:

1. The amount of words in poetry is less compared to prose and other literary pieces.

2. The rhythm produced from one line to another adds a natural flow to poetry.

3. The small chunks of words at a time helps to make the reading less threatening.

4. The white space left on the pages makes the reading breathable and less choking.

Explanation:

Jason Reynolds, an author explains that the reason why many young people are not being helped to overcome their fear of books is that the teachers and instructors still bombard them with voluminous books, thus adding to their fear. He compared it to a person scared of dogs still being confronted with a Pit Bull or other intimidating dogs.

To solve the problem, Reynolds explained that the less volume of words contained in Poetry can help instill a love for reading in the students. They can enjoy the rhythm created as they move from lines and stanzas. The small chunks of words also makes reading less intimidating.

How do these two accounts differ?
Read the quotation by Dorothea Lange about the
photo "Migrant Mother" from Years of Dust.
I saw and approached the hungry and desperate
mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember
how I explained my presence or my camera to her,
but I do remember she asked me no questions. ... !
did not ask her name or history. She told me her age,
that she was thirty-two. She said that they had been
living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding
fields, and birds that the children had killed. She had
just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she
sat in that lean-to tent with her children huddled
around her, and seemed to know that my pictures
might help her, and so she helped me. There was a
sort of equality about it.
Now, read an excerpt about the photo from Years of
Dust.

​

Is there ever a time when it is acceptable for someone to take matters in their own hands to get their own
revenge outside of the law?

Another theme is perseverance and determination. This is especially seen in how Brian learns to solve problems that will potentially be life-threatening. He calls upon his intelligence, memory, and youth to overcome such experiences as creating fire, fighting off a moose, building shelter, and finding food. Again, for the reader, these experiences offer anyone a example to follow in order to resolve issues in his own life.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST PLEASE HELP Read this excerpt from Memoir, Correspondence, and Miscellanies, from the Papers of Thomas Jefferson.

It is long since I wrote to you, because I know you must be where you could not receive my letters: and perhaps it may be some time before I write to you again, on account of a contagious and mortal fever which has arisen here, and is driving us all away. It is called a yellow fever, but is like nothing known or read of by the physicians. . . . All persons who can find asylum elsewhere, are flying from the city: this will doubtless extend it to other towns, and spread it through the country, unless an early winter should stop it.

Which excerpt from Fever 1793 connects to the historical account detailed in the excerpt?

"Wasn’t that long ago folks didn’t have any sugar. No coffee or tea, either."

She thinks she is too scared for her writing to make much sense. D. She knows events so extreme have taken place that she must completely re-orient her writing

Read the following excerpt from "Why I Wrote 'The Passage'" and answer the question that follows.

Three decades later I was asked to write a creative piece about Automatic for the People, one of my favorite albums, by R.E.M., my favorite band. It was exciting. This particular project--one that commissioned a piece of creative writing for each of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time--had almost no constraints other than a word limit, so I decided to write a story. Then I listened to the album a lot. Several times a day, at home, in the car, wherever I was, I was listening, trying to figure out how to make a story out of the lines in the twelve songs. Because that's what I wanted to do--write a story that combined all the words in the lyrics in an entirely new way. This is what we call being overly ambitious.

Why did Martin write "The Passage?"

He was asked to write a creative piece in response to the album Automatic for the People.
He wanted to use the lyrics of the songs to tell a story.
He was asked to write a story about an important memory in his life.
He listened to REM's album so much that he had to write a story about it.
