Write a narrative nonfiction story

Answers

Answer 1

Not sure about a word count but... here:

I used to have a pet guinea pig named Pumpkin, but it had gotten sick and died. I don't quite remember the exact dialogue, but this is more or less what was said.

"Is it dead?" My brother prodded the tiny little body with the tip of his index finger, a deep furrow between his dark, shaggy brows.

"I don't know," I answered, pinching my nose between my thumb and forefinger. The little guinea pig's beady black eyes glittered under the beam of the flashlight as we peered into its cage. Its brown body fell limp in his hands as he scooped it up. I've never know Pumpkin to play dead. And if she was playing, she was certainly good at it. She even smelled dead.

"You KILLED PUMPKIN!!" he shrieked, the body now dangling from his shaking hands. He dropped our pet on the floor and, tears streaming down his cheeks, disappeared into the kitchen. I stood alone in the living with our dead pet, wondering what if there was anything I could say or do to console my little brother. Sobs came from the kitchen.

My brother had spent almost everyday in front of the cage, staring with wide eyes at Pumpkin, playing with her and talking to her as he were if expecting her to offer a response.  He'd spent so much time with her, in fact, there was a little divot in the carpet in front of her cage where he'd stood every single day after hopping off the schoolbus in the afternoons. They'd bonded in a way that the normal people in our family could understand; Pumpkin had captured a piece of his heart I'd only ever managed to brush with the tips of my fingers. From day one, Pumpkin was the one he would confide in, ask for advice, and tell his jokes to. Which, I'd told myself, didn't bother me because, quite frankly, his jokes sucked anyway.

When Dad got home, he helped us bury Pumpkin in the backyard near the vegetable garden, right next to the now-weltering heads of lettuce she used to eat off of back in July whenever Mom wasn't watching.

"You were my best friend, Pumpkin, and if LACEY hadn't fed you spoiled food, you wouldn't be dead. If you come back to haunt somebody, haunt HER," said my brother, kneeling over the grave. Dad and I watched in silence.

"I miss you already," he continued, "and I hope you'll be comfortable here."

I was the one who'd named Pumpkin, fed her, lined her cage, and brushed the tangles out of her fur. So, I got to choose where she would be buried. And so Pumpkin's body lie in the shade of our little willow tree, her grave surrounded by yellow dandelions hand-picked from the front yard (which hadn't been hard, since our yard was choking with them). Her headstone, which Dad had whittled from wood, stuck up from the freshly overturned earth, in which we'd carved her name and a simple little message: We love you.

From Pumpkin's little spot, she would be shaded from the sun, sheltered from the snow, and lightly sprinkled with rain. From her grave, she would enjoy the sunshine and marvel at the colors of the leaves as the seasons changed, just as we did. Because although she was no longer with us, she will always hold a place in our hearts as a member of our family, and in our eyes, she was just as big as everybody else.

I got kinda carried away lol XD

Write an apology letter about plagiarism with the word “Honesty”. (NO GOOGLE ANSWERS PLEASE)

Answers

Answer:

Dear Mrs. Gold

I want to apologize for the plagiarization of the last essay on individuals. The essay should never have been taken off the Internet by them. They can understand now that writing the essay and taking a bad grade would have been better for them than trying to cheat in order to get a good grade. It was a convenient answer to plagiarize, but it was not the right one.

They should have learned a lot by punishing them. To think that they could get away with buying their grades was naive and juvenile of them. Through this experience, they have undoubtedly learned a tough life lesson. They should always do the job themselves from now on and take the grade they deserve. Taking credit for the work of someone else is incorrect. Though they undoubtedly knew this, because they were stealing the work of the people, they did not really care about this. Honestly, cheating is cheating, and they deserve to be punished properly.

I'm very very sorry about their behaviour. Never again should they do this. Our education and your class should be respected by us. Thank you for not harshly punishing us further. In your class, I look forward to continuing my job. I hope that, despite this black spot on their record, they will be able to work hard and increase their ranks on their own.

Thank You,

What might the people native to Georgia, the Creeks and the Cherokee, have experienced by living next to the Chattahoochee and across the river from each other?


WILL CROWN BRAINLIEST !! BUT PLS HURRY

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What the people native to Georgia, the Creeks and the Cherokee, might have experienced by living next to the Chattahoochee and across the river from each other could have been a sense of neighbors relationship that included cooperation in some aspects and some differences that really did not affect their relationship.

The Cherokee lived in the Mountains of Northern Georgia and its capital city was New Echota. On the other hand, the Creek lived in Southern Georgia, in the coastal plains and the piedmont. Its capital city was Coweta, close to the river. The Chattahoochee River was the geographical feature that had in common.

Read the passage.

[Dee (Wangero) is still admiring the quilts, but the narrator explains that she has promised them to Maggie as a wedding present.]
She gasped like a bee had stung her.
“Maggie can’t appreciate these quilts!” she said. “She’d probably be backward enough to put them to everyday use.” . . .
[The narrator exclaims that she hopes Maggie will use the quilts. No one has used them all this time that she has saved them. She also remembers that Dee (Wangero) had once told her that the quilts were old-fashioned and that she didn’t want to take one to college with her.]
“But they’re priceless!” she was saying now, furiously; for she has a temper. “Maggie would put them on the bed and in five years they’d be in rags. Less than that!” . . .

In “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker, what does Dee’s dialogue reveal about her feelings toward her sister?


She sees Maggie as a source of competition.


She believes Maggie is simple and ignorant.


She is jealous that Maggie has the quilts.


She thinks Maggie does not deserve marriage.

Answers

Answer:

She believes Maggie is simple and ignorant.

Explanation:

Everyday Use is a short story written by Alice Walker. It's written from the point of view of an African-American mother (Mrs. Johnson), who lives in the Deep South with her shy younger daughter, Maggie. It tells about differences between Mrs. Johnson and Maggie, who follow the traditional black culture in the rural South, and her educated daughter Dee, who has embraced cultural nationalism.

Dee chose a new, African name, Wangero, and has begun wearing more African clothing. She wants to take hand-made objects, such as the quilts mentioned in the given excerpt, that were used in their family for generations. Unlike Maggie, who would use them practically, she would simply display them as artifacts, as pieces of art. She thinks that Maggie is backward for wanting to use them. It's not that she is jealous that Maggie will get the quilts, but she sees her as inferior, backward, simple, and ignorant. She sees herself as superior to both her and their mother.

This is why the second option is the correct one.

In the 2006 documentary An Inconvenient Truth, former Vice President Al Gore strives to inform the public
about the apparent dangers of global warming. Some segments counter critics' claims that global warming
is unproven or that it will not have significant consequences, and others illustrate what could happen to
animals that are particularly vulnerable to climate change. Gore also describes actions that can be taken to
successfully reverse the effects of global warming and encourages viewers to assist in these efforts.
Question
The passage suggests that
O global warming is not as dangerous as people think
O climate change will likely not affect animals
Othere is no scientific evidence to support Gore's claims about global warming
there is some disagreement about the existence and impact of global warming

Answers

Answer:

there is some disagreement about the existence and impact of global warming

Explanation:

The passage above shows that there is, somehow, a disagreement when it comes to the existence and impact of global warming. Although President Gore tries to tell the people of the dangers of global warming, some says that global warming is not true. Other people say that it has an effect  or impact on the animals. The ideas stemming from this issue are opposing each other. This means that not everyone has the same opinion regarding the existence and impact of global warming in the world; thus, the disagreement.
