Read the excerpt from "Rain Forest Doctor.” The helicopter lifted into the air like a really big, clumsy bug. We went up and over the city, looking down on the tops of homes and office buildings. But soon we were flying over the jungle. I never got used to how beautiful it was. Every shade of green the world has ever seen was there in the rain forest. Set into all those greens, like jewels, were bright blue lakes that sparkled in the sun. Today, there were also a few low clouds sitting on top of the trees. In the distance, I could see the mountains. Clouds of cotton hung just over their tops. Which statements best describe the excerpt? Check all that apply. The author uses figurative language. The clouds are made of cotton. The helicopter takes off awkwardly. There are many shades of green in the forest. There are pieces of jewelry shining in the forest.

Please help me with this.

Read the sentence from the section "Don't Be Too Critical of Yourself,"

When we cope well with stress, we're also less likely to reach for unhealthy short-term coping mechanisms.

How does this detail develop the author's central idea?


It supports the idea that stress is really unhealthy by explaining some of its negative aspects.


By explaining a negative affect of not being self-compassionate, the author supports the idea that being kind to yourself is healthy.


It complements the idea that self-compassion is good for you by providing a positive aspect of it.


Because stress can be relieved by mindfulness, it provides a reason to practice it.

PLEASE ANSWER!!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST if you answer properly!!!!!!! Authors may write primarily to provide entertainment, and hopefully, you did enjoy reading A Christmas Carol. However, authors typically also include ideas that will challenge a reader in their stories, even the entertaining ones. Dickens is no different in that he had a clear message in writing this story. Write a paragraph explaining what you think Dickens wants the reader to learn from this story. You will show this message by citing textual evidence (referring to scenes or events from the story or using quotes) that supports what you think Dickens wants his reader to learn. Also, explain if you think the message matches the teachings of Scripture. If so, include a specific Bible reference and explain why you chose it. Anytime you cite textual evidence, you must include a parenthetical citation and create a work cited entry. max 10% of writing should be quoted Your paragraph should be between 150 and 300 words. will put Christmas carol in the comments.

Do you guys think this is a good essay?
Having to be at school by 7:30 or 7:00 in the morning eventually turns teens and kids into zombies, and not in a healthy way. Most days, kids, especially teens, come home with loads of homework, causing them to go to bed late, leaving them with only a few hours of sleep. Early times such as these can also cause stress, which can lead to loss of sleep too. This means that kids and teens still have to get up early in the morning and sit through hours of learning with only a few hours of sleep. This can be extremely harmful to teens' health and grades. With this being said, later times such as 8:00, 8:30, or maybe even 9:00 would be a better option considering the health and standards of teens and kids. The reason for this is because Schools always start in the mornings, and some teens can barely wake up for this movement, so they fall asleep when set to do work and tasks. Every school thinks that they can keep their kids awake by starting maybe an hour later than Elementary schools, well truthfully they're wrong. Many teens always stay up late, and nothing is going to stop them from it because they want to go to sleep when they feel like it is not a set time. The reason the kids that are falling asleep and not doing no work are called Zombies is that zombies. In our view, they are always "moaning" and are always looking tired and acting tired. Kids at school with barely any rest act and sometimes look the same exact way.

Read the two excerpts below. The first one is from Captain John Smith's personal account of his rescue by Pocahontas, and the second one is from the children's book The Story of Pocahontas and Captain John Smith published in 1906. Notice how the two accounts differ.


They were ready with their clubs to beat out his brains when Pocahontas, the King's dearest daughter, when no begging could prevail, took his head in her arms, and laid her own head upon his to save him from death.

--from John Smith's personal accounts


But just as the Indian brave was about to strike, his great war club swinging high in the air, Pocahontas rushed forward and threw herself between him and his victim. With her own body she shielded the Captain from harm, for her heart was moved to pity for the stranger, and she could not bear that he should die.

--from The Story of Pocahontas and Captain John Smith


What is the BEST way to describe how these two accounts differ?


Smith's account includes details about why Pocahontas intervened; the children's book does not


Smith's original account lacks emotions; the children's story attributes emotions to Pocahontas


Smith's account indicates exactly what Pocahontas said; the children's book leaves this part out


Smith's original account is full of emotion; the children's story is lacking in emotion
