Why is it important to the theme of the strength of mothers that the last scene takes place in the kitchen?
Answer:
The theme of the story is to feel grateful for your parents. Alfred realizes his mother is getting old and she was nervous for him when she was drinking tea. He could see all the years of her life.
Explanation:
Do you agree or disagree that the greeting of "Merry Christmas" could offend those who observe other holidays?
agree.
Explanation:
usually it's best to ask someone what their beliefs are. while a lot of people dont get offended, some do. in situations where you're in public being nice to someone, and you say merry Christmas, theres usually no time to start a conversation and ask what their beliefs are but in situations where you know the person, or are trying to get to know them, or even having a conversation with them, its best to ask before you say the phrase to someone that observes another holiday. a lot of people try to push their beliefs on others and others are very passionate about what they believe and/or celebrate so its easy to see "merry christmas" the wrong way when you don't celebrate it.
What makes a thing what it is? Is the way it is seen/perceived by others or is it something else?
“The blind men and the elephant”
Answer:
What makes anything unique is the way others see/perceive it. These blind men, blind peasants, blind monks, or blind sages symbolize "those in the dark," or individuals who lack a complete vision or understanding of a "thing." Each guy in these tales feels a different aspect of the elephant, but just that one part, such as the tail or the trunk.
The narrative of the Six Blind Men and the Elephant contradicts this theory since the lesson of the story is that all faiths are striving toward the same objective, even though they disagree with each other on many levels. Major Religions' Disagreements.

I Have An English Paragraph Which I Found Hard And It's About:
Write A Persuasive Paragraph About an Invention.
Explanation:
Title:
This will often be posed as a question, for example, if the essay is on the merits of a vegetarian lifestyle it may be called something like: To Eat Meat or Not?
Hook:
As with any genre of writing, capturing the reader’s interest from the outset is crucial. There are a number of methods of doing this, known as hooks. Students may decide to open their essay with an anecdote, a joke, a quotation, or a relevant statistic related to the topic under discussion.
Background:
In this section of the introduction, students will provide the reader with some background to the topic. This will place the issue in context and briefly weigh up some of the different opinions on the subject.
Thesis statement:
After surveying the topic in the first part of the introduction, it is now time for the student writer to express their own opinion and briefly preview the points they will make later in the essay.
2. Body Paragraphs
The number of paragraphs that will form this section of the essay will depend on the number of points the writer chooses to make to support their opinion. Normally three main points will be sufficient for beginning writers to coordinate. For more advanced students, they can simply increase the number of paragraphs based on the complexity of their arguments, but the overall structure will largely remained intact.
Be sure to check out our own complete guide to writing perfect paragraphs here.
The TEEL acronym is a useful way for students to remember how to structure their paragraphs. Read below for deeper understanding.
Topic Sentence:
The topic sentence states the central point of the paragraph. This will be in the form of one of the reasons in support of the thesis statement made in the introduction.
Explain:
These sentences will build on the topic sentence by illustrating the point further, often by making it more specific.
Evidence:
It is the purpose of these sentences to support the paragraph’s central point by providing supporting evidence and examples. This evidence may take the form of statistics, quotations, or anecdotal evidence.
Link:
The final part of the paragraph links back to the initial statement of the topic sentence, while also forming a bridge to the next point to be made. This part of the paragraph provides some personal analysis and interpretation of how the student arrived at their conclusions and also connects together the essay as a cohesive whole.
3. Conclusion
The conclusion weaves together the main points of the persuasive essay. It does not normally introduce any new arguments or evidence but rather reviews the arguments made already and restates them by summing them up in a unique way. It is important at this stage to tie everything back to the initial thesis statement. This is the writer’s last opportunity to drive home their point; to achieve the goal of the essay, to begin with – persuade the reader of their point of view.
Ending an essay well can be challenging, but, especially for persuasive essays, it is essential to end strongly. As with the hooks of the essay’s opening, there are a number of tried and tested methods of leaving the reader with a strong impression. Encourage students to experiment with different types of endings, for example, concluding the essay with a quotation that amplifies the thesis statement. Another method is to have the student rework their ending in simple monosyllabic words, as simple language often has the effect of being stronger in impact. The effect they are striving for in the final sentence is the closing of the circle.
There are a number of persuasive writing techniques that can be used to in the conclusion, and throughout the essay, to amp up the persuasive power of the writing. Let’s take a look at a few.

In no less than seventy-five words, explain how Penelope was able to use her wits to avoid the suitors
without going against ancient Grecian customs.
Answer:
The goddess Athena, disguised as Mentes, advises Telemachus to visit Pylos and Sparta. Athena tells Telemachus that he might hear news of his father, Odysseus. If he doesn’t hear that Odysseus is still alive, Telemachus will know it is time to hold a funeral and assert his status as master of Odysseus’s house and property. The journey is potentially dangerous. By undertaking the journey, Telemachus shows that he has inherited his father’s courage, and he begins to forge a reputation in his society as a brave and adventurous man. His visits to Nestor and Menelaus require him to tactfully observe the social rules that bind travelers and guests. This introduces one of The Odyssey’s central themes: hospitality and the rules that govern it. Nestor and Menelaus tell Telemachus stories about Odysseus’s achievements in the Trojan War. Menelaus affirms that Telemachus is a worthy son of his famous father: “Good blood runs in you, dear boy.” Menelaus also tells him that his father is alive. This encouragement inspires Telemachus, and his experiences as a traveler help him to mature. When he returns to Ithaca, he is ready to help Odysseus defeat the suitors.

Explanation:
Read the passage. The Ride of His Life When Jesse Senko was 12 years old, he had an experience that literally changed his life. Senko was snorkeling while on vacation in the Cayman Islands with his family when a large sea turtle swam near him. Senko naturally did what any 12-year-old boy would do and decided to grab the turtle and go for a ride. That turtle ride, in some ways, has never ended. People find their passions in many different ways. Senko found his passion while riding on the back of a turtle when he was just 12 years old. Today, Senko is a conservation scientist at Arizona State University. He focuses his research and life’s work on marine resource sustainability. Can you guess what that includes? If you guessed sea turtles, you would be correct. In college, Senko majored in fisheries and wildlife science, and he also received a Master of Science degree in wildlife ecology. Much of the focus of his work is on saving endangered sea turtles. Sea turtles help keep the ocean healthy, and thus their well-being affects the entire ecosystem. They provide a natural regulatory system for the environment. For example, sea turtles eat seagrass, which helps it grow properly, and their unhatched eggs provide nutrients for plant life to keep beaches healthy. Sea turtles also provide a home for small animals that attach to their shells. Sea turtles are endangered because fishermen inadvertently catch them in their nets, which can cause the turtles irreparable harm. Senko came up with the idea to create solar-powered fishing nets so fishermen can readily see when they accidentally catch a sea turtle. Because the lights are solar powered, the fishermen do not have to maintain the lights or change the batteries. This technology has resulted in a 65 percent reduction in sea turtle catches thus far. Senko’s goal is a 100 percent reduction.
Question 1 Part A What is a central idea of "The Ride of His Life"?
Solar power is essential to saving sea turtles.
Sea turtles are the most endangered animals in the ocean.
Sea turtles are a critical part of the marine ecosystem.
Modern technology such as solar nets will help save the environment.
Part B
Which sentence from the text best shows the development of the central idea in Part A?
"Today, Senko is a conservation scientist at Arizona State University. He focuses his research and life’s work on marine resource sustainability."
"Sea turtles are endangered because fishermen inadvertently catch them in their nets, which can cause the turtles irreparable harm."
"…sea turtles eat seagrass, which helps it grow properly, and their unhatched eggs provide nutrients for plant life to keep beaches healthy."
"This technology has resulted in a 65 percent reduction in sea turtle catches thus far."
Answer:
Part A- Sea turtles are a critical part of the marine ecosystem.
Part B- "…sea turtles eat seagrass, which helps it grow properly, and their unhatched eggs provide nutrients for plant life to keep beaches healthy."

How does his description of the Permian Pathers' football stadium (in the prefacae) contrast with the way Bissinger characterizes the rest of the town?
It matches the rest of the town
O The town is exciting like the stadium
The stadium seems to be alive in comparison
The stadium seems depressing
The way he (Charlie Billingsley) describes it makes the stadium appear to be alive compared to Bisssinger's description, as shown in the third answer option.
We can arrive at this answer as follows:
Charlie Billingsley's description is more detailed, features imagery, and promotes a sense of movement and life to the reader.This makes his description very effective and convincing, mainly for being able to show the relevance of the stadium and how important this is to the whole text.Bissinger, in turn, presents a less detailed description and does not use imagery.It is important to emphasize that imagery can be identified by words that transfer sensations to the reader.
This question is about "Friday Night Lights."

can yall help me with my essay? so here's my thesis, why students shouldn't use their phones in class. IT'S DUE TODAY
Explanation:
Students should not be permitted to use cell phones in school. Using cell phones during school allows students to cheat. Students will be more distracted by cell phones and pay less attention to the teacher and to the lesson. ... Some students do not use their digital devices for the good that they have, but for the bad.
Answer:
It prevents a student from the proper learning experience.
Explanation:
When students use their cell phones in class to check social media and text their friends, they distract themselves and their peers. The teacher may have to repeatedly tell students to turn off their devices, which can cause disruptions in class. It also can cause students to cheat. Cell phones and other devices are used by one-third of students in high school to cheat. A study found that 41 percent of teens thought storing notes on a cell phone to access them during an exam was a major cheating offense, while 23 percent considered it not to be cheating. Researchers from the London School of Economics found that schools that banned the use of mobile phones saw substantial improvements in test scores, with the researchers concluding that phones “can have a negative impact on productivity through distraction.” They also found that phones disproportionately affected vulnerable students. Richard Murphy, Dr. Richard Murphy is an assistant professor of economics at the University of Texas, and co-author of the study reports: “Allowing phones into schools would be the most damaging to low-achieving and low-income students, exacerbating any existing learning inequality.” Students' ability to learn will be diminished when they use phones during classes. This concludes my briefing.
