Paragraph 1:
Montag's hands were grabbing the woman's books. Montag's hand took a book, which he crushed to his chest. Montag is afraid his hands will make him a thief. Montag's hand closed like a mouth, crushed the book with wild devotion, with an insanity of mindlessness to his chest. The men above were hurling shovelfuls of magazines into the dusty air. They fell like slaughtered birds and the woman stood below, like a small girl, among the bodies. Montag had done nothing. His hand had done it all, his hand, with a brain of its own, with a conscience and a curiosity in each trembling finger, had turned thief. Now, it plunged the book back under his arm, pressed it tight to sweating armpit, rushed out empty, with a magician's flourish! Look here! Innocent! Look!

Does the word “common” have a negative or positive connotation?
I NEED THE ANSWER FAST PLZZZ
Answer:
It should be positive.
If something has a positive connotation, it will evoke warm feelings. Meanwhile, something with a negative connotation will make someone feel less than pleasant.
Explanation: sorry if wrong
Answer:
It is a mutual connotation, because whether it is positive or negative depends on the situation.
Explanation:
The word "common" means that a lot of people have or are something. It depends on what exactly is common.
For example, in the fact, "It is more common for women to have cancer rather than men," this is a negative connotation, because the disease cancer is not a good thing.
However, in the example of a teacher saying, "In my class, it is common for my students to receive B's or higher on their report cards," this is a positive connotation because receiving B's or higher is a good thing.
Therefore, the answer is a mutual connotation.
Hope this helps! :D

Which sentence uses figurative language to convey a mood of fear or dread?
Answer:
The lake weeds clutched my legs, almost dragging me down to their murky deathtrap
Explanation:
The lake weeds grabbed my legs and nearly dragged me into their gloomy deathtrap.
What is Fear?We refer to our emotional response to something that appears harmful as being in fear. However, the word "fear" is also used to describe something that a person frequently feels fearful of.
When something or someone makes them feel unsafe or uncertain, people become afraid. As an illustration, a weak swimmer can be afraid of deep water. In this situation, the dread is advantageous since it warns the person to be cautious. By mastering safe swimming techniques, one may be able to get over this anxiety.
If a fear serves as a warning to avoid potentially risky situations, it might be beneficial. However, there are situations when a concern is unwarranted and leads to greater care than is necessary.
Public speaking is feared by many people. Speaking in front of others is one of the most prevalent phobias people have, whether it's giving a report in class, speaking at an assembly, or reciting lines in the school play.

Attack of the Dragons
Attack of the Dragons
If the Viking raids from the north and the Briton raids from the south weren’t bad enough, now we have a new challenge to our castle walls: dragons.
Here in Northumberland, summers are full of war. We are used to fighting in the summer. That’s when the lands to our north thaw enough for the Vikings to venture south to our lands hoping to steal our livestock and crops. Our walls, however, protect our farms. As the Norsemen try to come ashore, we fight them back with ease. Our arrows, bolts, and rock are more than enough to fend them off as they attempt to land on our beaches. They may not have what is ours, and soon they turn toward other coasts and other forts as ours are too strong for them.
Then come the Britons from the south. The Britons‘ claim to this land is admittedly greater than ours. They were here before the Romans and will probably outlast our Saxon rule, but that does not matter today. Today this land belongs to Ida the Saxon king, and we will hold it for him and his heirs. Their numbers cannot stand against our fortifications. Our steel is superior to theirs, as our swords and spears cut through their armor with ease. We have the higher ground, for Bamburg stands on a dolerite outcrop. Not only do we use the rock as our foundation, we have cut into the earth and used it to build our walls, and we launch our rocks toward our enemy as they attempt to storm the hill. With these rocks and our arrows and bolts, we cut half their army down before they even reach our battlements. Their spirit weakens as their forces are cut down, as we easily strike down those foolish enough not to break ranks and run. No man can defeat us once we lock ourselves behind these walls. We have plenty of land and cattle here. We can outlast any siege. Thanks to Lord Ida of Bernecia, we are protected.
Lord Ida had us build this stronghold high above the shore, and we are invincible from attacks by land and sea, but now we must deal with airborne enemies as well.
The dragons have come out of the East somewhere and bring with them fire. They attack when the sun is high. They know our bows and crossbows are worthless against them, as our arrows and bolts bounce off their thick hide. They swoop down and take our sheep in their claws and maws, returning to whereever they came from before dusk with a fifth of our provisions. The fire drives our bravest men inside as we cower with the women and children, hoping to avoid the death that the dragons bring.
Aston, the ironsmith, and his fisherman brother, Aethel, claim to have a solution. They have combined their tools and designed a contraption that might bring the winged monsters out of the sky. Fishing nets with iron barbs launched from paired ballistae. The ballista is a giant crossbow left from the Roman invasions. The contraptions take three men to crank, and aiming the ballistae pairs has proven difficult, but we hope to fight when they return tomorrow.
Nets are weighted down with iron spikes. As we launch the projectiles at the dragons, we hope to drop them into the sea, or at least pin them to the ground where our swords and spears can do harm. Aethel believes that dragons falling into the water will surely drown, and Aston believes that we should attack the wings of the grounded dragons so that they cannot escape our mighty warriors. But that lesson is for tomorrow when the dragons return at high noon. Tonight we plan our attack and hope our weapons prove their design.
Based on the information found in the passage, which invaders attack the Saxons by land?
A
the Vikings
B
the dragons
C
the Britons
D
the Romans

In "The Adventures of Theseus," Theseus has a choice: He can take the easier and safer route to Athens by sea, or he can take the more dangerous land route. Theseus decides to travel to Athens by land. How does Theseus's decision help develop the plot?
Hello. You forgot the answer options. The options are:
It illustrates the theme.
It builds suspense.
It describes the climax.
It resolves the conflict.
Answer:
It builds suspense.

When Theseus chooses the most dangerous route to reach Athens, the story takes on a strong suspense tone. This is because the reader understands that Theseus will encounter these problems, which will be very difficult to solve and which can even end it. However, the reader does not know when these problems will appear, nor even what these problems are, which makes suspense a crucial element for the continuation of reading, allowing the reader to be anxious and apprehensive about what will happen in the narrative.

Keet was riding the bus and saw a man wearing a new pair of shoes from his favorite brand. He liked them but thought they'd look better in black. When he got home, he went online and found them in black at an online store, Zaps. They were pretty expensive, so he decided to post a picture of them on his social media account to see what his friends would think. The next day, he started seeing ads for the exact shoes and for the online store he had visited. He saw the ads appear when he typed in a search, when he went to his favorite news site, and when he was scrolling through his social media feed. At first he thought it might've just been a coincidence, but when it kept happening, he started to wonder, why am I seeing this everywhere?
1.How did the advertising company know he was interested in those shoes? Or in that store?

Answer: My favorite building personally is The World Trade Center (previously known as the Twin Towers) What I like about it so much is 2 things, 1. It has a lot of history behind it, it was a terrorized attack led by Osama bin Laden, the leader of the attacks on Pentagon too, and my second thing is the height, 1,776, and if you didn't know, they specifically done this because The Declaration of Independence was signed on August 2, 1776.

One major theme found in George Orwell's Animal Farm is the idea of education. Identify and discuss at least two specific examples from the text that illustrate this theme. Based on your examples, do you think Orwell believes education is important or not? Explain your answer.
Answer and Explanation:
For Orwell, education was the main factor in preventing tyrannical and fascist leaders from coming to power. This is because education would give people information and critical thinking. These two factors would prevent the population from being exploited and reduced, as they would perceive facist behaviors and be able to reflect on the negative results that the population would resolve. In this way, the well-educated population would be able to establish factors to overthrow these leaders of power and prevent them from exploiting any individual.
However, we know that the nations most exploited by factional and authoritarian leaders are those that do not provide, or provide poor quality education, leaving the population to the mercy of those who say they are more intelligent and more capable, who are, in their majority, tyrannical.
Two examples of this in "Animal farm" can be seen, when pigs pose themselves as the super animals because of their intelligence, knowledge and quick thinking. While horses, which do not have this development, are exploited, humiliated and devalued by pigs, but believe that as pigs have more knowledge, pigs are correct.
