The blank page. For many writers, this is one of the most intimidating things they must encounter. Many think to themselves: How can I possibly fit everything I want to say onto this page? Will I be able to connect with my audience? or How do I focus? The one question that every writer asks, however, is Where do I start?

Finding a starting point is difficult. It can even be overwhelming. In fact, many writers get anxious and nervous when they begin writing. Many famous authors have had to experience being nervous about writing. Ernest Hemingway's novel The Sun Also Rises takes place during World War I.

One way to overcome this anxiousness is to think about the first sentence as opposed to the final draft. Think of it as building a house. Writing is put together in a similar way—word by word and then sentence by sentence. Another way to get over the nervousness of a blank page is to write anything down. Even if your writing doesn't make sense, this is a good exercise to get you started in the act of writing. Even writing your name over and over at least gets you into the act of writing instead of sitting around waiting for the ideas to come to you. Also, it gets rid of your nervous energy. Writing a word over and over on a chalkboard is one way some teachers make students behave. In addition, another way to get over the first step of writing is to talk. Talk to friends, parents, or whoever will listen. Ask them questions about what they think about certain subjects. When it's time to write, you'll find that those ideas and talks will come back to you.

Which best identifies an example of hyperbole used in The Secret Garden?
“I didn't know," ventured the nurse, “that he thought he had a lump on his spine.
His back is weak because he won't try to sit up. I could have told him there was
no lump there."
Colin's tantrum had passed and he was weak and worn out with crying and this
perhaps made him feel gentle.
He put out his hand a little toward Mary, and I am glad to say that, her own
tantrum having passed, she was softened too and met him half-way with her
hand, so that it was a sort of making up.
"You stop!" she almost shouted. "You stop! I hate you! Everybody hates you!!
wish everybody would run out of the house and let you scream yourself to
death! You will scream yourself to death in a minute, and I wish you would!"
Last question please!

Emil is writing about the benefits of the Electoral College when he finds the following editorial written about its drawbacks.

Every four years, the United States selects a president through the Electoral College. The Electoral College is an unfair system that reduces voters’ power in some states and increases voters’ power in others. On three occasions, the system has resulted in the election of a president who received fewer votes than an opponent. In 2000, George W. Bush lost the popular vote to Al Gore. Bush received about five hundred thousand fewer votes. But he won the presidency because he had the most state electoral votes. The outcome of the 2000 election led to calls to end the Electoral College.

What ideas expressed in the editorial will Emil most likely need to address in his essay? SELECT 3 OPTIONS

Excerpt from Thermometer Pills
Tracy Wilson
- Over the past ten years more than two dozen athletes have died from the medical condition known as heatstroke. Heatstroke
occurs when the body's internal temperature becomes so elevated that its cooling system begins shutting down. Who is most at
risk? Surprisingly, it is younger athletes. They often either do not recognize or ignore the warning signs until it's too late. To
make matters worse, children's bodies are much less efficient than adults at cooling themselves. A promising new product hopes
to end the all too common heatstroke trend. It is called a thermometer pill.
Why are younger athletes more likely to be at risk for heatstroke, according to the article?
es )
They do not sweat as much as adults.
They do not recognize the warning signs.
They spend more time playing sports outdoors.
D)
Their internal organs shut down at a lower temperature,

Obviously the characters in Shakespeare's play find Mark Antony's speech really

Mark Antony's speech would still stand up as a convincing work of rhetoric.
