For all the years I knew my grandma, she could barely see. Grandma was legally blind, and yet she knew, by feel, the location of every dish in her kitchen and every work of literature on the bookcase in the living room.
I remember especially the bird-like way she peered at things. I'd bring her a copy of my latest school picture, and she'd hold the photo an inch or two from her face, tilt her head to one side, and inspect it before saying, "Very pretty." I used to think she was just being polite, that she really couldn't see me in the picture. But then she'd add, "That pin you're wearing was your mother's." How did she see that little blur on my jacket? The things she could see never failed to amaze me.
Watching television with Grandma, I never failed to learn something. Usually it was the complicated plot twist of one of her favorite soap operas—The Guiding Light or As the World Turns. We grandkids would curl up on the big couch while Grandma pulled up a footstool and planted herself right next to the TV, elbows on her knees, to watch the screen. At the commercial break, she'd explain who was marrying whom and who was in the hospital and who had recently come back from the dead. She seemed to have no trouble identifying the characters whom she could barely see. Whether or not she could bring them into sharp focus, they were as real to her as her giggling grandkids.
For a treat, we'd sometimes pile into our grandparent's black car for a drive around town: my grandfather at the wheel, my long-legged older brother in the front seat, and Grandma sandwiched between me and my little brother in the back—but sitting so far forward she was practically in the front. I'd imagined all she could see was a blur of images rushing past, yet she could always tell when Grandpa had missed a turn or forgotten to turn on his headlights. Returning home, Grandma would wave at the boy who mowed their lawn and point out the new fruit on the plum tree in their yard.
In later years, when I visited from college, Grandma would always be waiting when I pulled up in my old orange car (that's admittedly hard to miss, no matter how bad one's vision). She'd greet me with a bear hug. Then she'd surprise me, every time, with what she could see. Holding my face in her hands, she'd turn my head from side to side and announce, "You got your hair cut!" as if I had won the lottery and forgotten to tell her. I began to wonder if we rely on our eyes too much—if maybe, with our perfect sight, we're actually missing the details my grandma and her poor vision never failed to catch.

This story makes the reader think about what we can and cannot see. What question does the author ask us to think about at the end?
A. Was life just a blur of images racing past our eyes?
B. Could Grandma see the things she said she could see?
C. Do people with perfect vision miss out on the details of life?
D. Do blind people enjoy life more than people who can see?

Answer:

C

Explanation:

In the last sentance they say that people with eyes might miss out on the things that people who are blind like the authors grandma can "see."

So it is, "Do people with perfect vision miss out on the details in life?"

Answer:D. Do blind people enjoy life more than people who can see?

Why is it important that an argument address a counterargument? Most teachers will not read a paper that does not include a counterargument. All readers will distrust texts that neglect to include counterarguments. Doing so strengthens the ethos, logos, and pathos of the argument. Counterarguments are usually weak and easy to rebut.

Cell phones are an integrated part of our society at this point, and their main use is communication. They keep students in touch with the rest of the world by giving them the power to interact with it. In my day, if you forgot your lunch you were at the mercy of the office calling home for you. Now, students have the ability to solve their own problems and handle certain "emergencies" on their own.
Cell phones also allow students the ability when the time is right, to keep in touch with students at other schools or friends that don"t go to school. While not an educational benefit directly, better relationships can lead to higher self-esteem and reduce isolation, which is good for everybody. In the same way, camera phones allow students to capture the kinds of memories that help build a solid school culture, and, in some cases, can act as documentation of misbehavior in the same way that store cameras provide evidence and deter bad behavior.
Academically, the cell phone can act as to record video of a procedure of explanation that may need to be reviewed later. It could be used to record audio of a lecture, as well, for later review. And just imagine if class could be easily taped for students who are absent? What if they could even be streamed and seen from home instantly?
The iPod is a little trickier, because its function varies greatly by model. At its heart, it is a media player, and I know for a fact that many students work better while listening to music. For this reason, they can have a good effect by keeping students from getting too distracted while working (ironic, because we mostly think of them AS distractions!). If it is a WIFI compatible model, and wireless internet is available, the iPod can be a great tool for looking up information or digging into things more deeply. Depending on the model, it may be able to act as a camera and video recorder as well (with the same benefits as the cell phone).
Devices like the Kindle could, conceivably, make learning a lot easier. Imagine carrying all your textbooks in the palm of your hand, rather than strapped to your back! Though expensive, compared to buying new textbooks, the Kindle is a bargain. Many of the books used in high school English classes are actually FREE on the Kindle.

A.
The iPod can be used to record videos
B.
The iPod can be used to make phone calls
C.
