"It was supposed to be a secret, but it seemed like everyone knew it." I told my mom as she put the dinner plates on the table. She had just arrived from work and I was already complaining because the surprise party I was preparing for my sisters had been a fiasco, since it seemed that information had leaked and my sisters already knew everything. My mother was the main suspect and having betrayed my secret, since I basically just told my plans to her and my school friends.
I was very upset, because I had tried so hard to surprise my sisters and I was very sad about the situation. My mom said she hadn't told them anything, which made me sad and confused.
I didn't know if I should continue with the preparations for the party, but I decided to continue, because my sisters deserve it, even if this is no longer a surprise.
After several days of being upset, I found out that my sisters had heard me on the phone inviting my friends to the party and that's how they found out.
Although the surprise was a failure, the party was a success and my sisters were very happy and so was I. In the end that's what matters to me.

Read this excerpt from Paragraph two of Poe's "The Black Cat" and answer the question.
There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man.
Which phrases from this excerpt support the narrator's distrust of human beings? Select all that apply.
A "unselfish and self-sacrificing"
B "love of a brute"
C "directly to the heart"
D "frequent occasion"
E "paltry friendship"
F "gossamer fidelity"
Answer:
(B,E,F)
Explanation:
As we can see the question is basically asking for evidence that supports why the author has a distrust of human beings (Basically saying that the author cant trust humans, and can't rely on them for almost anything.)
So with that being said, we need to find text evidence that shows a negative perspective coming from the author. So we can go and cross off answer options (A: "unselfish and self-sacrificing") (D: "frequent occasion") and (C: "directly to the heart") bc two of those are positive opinions on humans, and one isn't close to being negative nor positive opinions towards humans.
Now let's take a look at "B"
"Love of a Brute"
Basically saying that somebody is showing love-(affection, caring for) a wild animal-(a violent human).
We can use context clues to find out if this is negative or positive
Before "Love of a Brute," it says "There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing" using this we can see that it means "For a person to love a wild animal type of person-( a violent human) is unselfish on their part, because of how abysmal-(horrible) that brute-(violent human) is.
Now let's look at E: "paltry friendship"
This is basically saying that a human shows inconsequential-(Little importance towards something) feelings towards friendship with someone else.
Lastly, we can look at F: "gossamer fidelity"
This means like a thin-(In this sentence it would mean "having little") loyalty-(being trust worthy, and faithful) towards someone.
With all this being said all answers that would apply to answering the
question would be "B "love of a brute", E "paltry friendship", and F "gossamer fidelity".

Can someone help write a thesis statement for "is it better to be original or fit in."
Answer:
Honestly, this could go both ways. Some people are very enthusiastic, expressive, and passionate while other people can be loners, shy, and keep to themself. But, in my opnion I believe iy is best to be original. If everyone was always trying to fit in there wouldnt be anything to fit in with other than a school uniform. While being original and having your own style, personality, and your own voice is what makes you, well you. Just be yourself because everyone else is already taken. Have a wonderful day I hope I helped! Follow me for more help. Bye!
Answer:
It is better to be original because you can be yourself, make new friends easily, and not pretending to be someone else.

Lao Zi
Philosophy believed in: As Taoism took root, Laozi was worshipped as a god. Belief in the revelation of the Tao from the divine Laozi resulted in the formation of the Way of the Celestial Masters, the first organized religious Taoist sect. In later mature Taoist tradition, Laozi came to be seen as a personification of the Tao.
Quote: To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.
Shang Yang
Philosophy believed in: Shang Yang believed that the integrity of a state could be maintained only with power and that power consisted of a large army and full granaries. Entering into the service of Duke Xiao, head of the state of Qin, Shang Yang replaced the feudal division of the country with a system of centrally appointed governors.
Quote: When the people are weak, the state is strong; hence the state that possesses the Way devotes itself to weakening the people.
Buddha
Philosophy believed in: Buddhists believe that human life is a cycle of suffering and rebirth, but that if one achieves a state of enlightenment nirvana, it is possible to escape this cycle forever. Siddhartha Gautama was the first person to reach this state of enlightenment and was, and is still today, known as the Buddha.
