Answer:
A description of the valley of ashes, a desolate and forsaken expanse of formerly developed land that marks the intersection of the city with the suburbs. In addition to its desolate feel and uniform grayness, this forlorn area is home to a decaying billboard that calls attention to itself. Depicted on the advertisement are the Eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg, which are described as "blue and gigantic their retinas are one yard high." It was in the valley of ashes that Nick first meets Tom's mistress, Myrtle Wilson. The two men are headed to New York when Tom insists they get off the train in order for Nick to "meet [his] girl." The two men proceed to a car repair garage owned by George Wilson, a "spiritless man" who is also Myrtle's husband. Tom chats briefly with Wilson about business matters. Myrtle, a sensuous, fleshy woman in her middle thirties, joins the men. Tom quietly informs her he wishes to see her and so she arranges to meet them shortly, leaving her husband under the pretense of visiting her sister in New York. While on their way to Tom and Myrtle's apartment, Myrtle spies a man selling dogs and insists on having one. Once at the apartment, Myrtle phones her sister, Catherine, and her friends, the Mc Kees, to join the party. The six people spend the afternoon in a haze of drunkenness. As the afternoon wears on and she becomes increasingly intoxicated, Myrtle becomes more and more outspoken about her situation in life, her marriage, her impassioned first meeting with Tom, and finally, Tom's marriage. Upon mentioning Daisy's name, Myrtle becomes enraged, shouting "Daisy" at the top of her lungs. Tom, incensed by this outburst, lashes out with his open hand and breaks Myrtle's nose in one "short deft movement." The party enters into a downward spiral and the guests take their departure. The chapter ends with Nick seeing Mr. McKee home and then heading home himself.

How does Roosevelt use of the big stick metaphor in the paragraph on pages five through six impacted speech
Answer:
He uses the big stick metaphor as a way of representing a kind of friendly diplomacy, but prepared for anything.

The "big stick" metaphor was widely used in the speeches of President Theodore Roosevelt Jr., as a way of representing the country's diplomatic policies. To create this term, Roosevelt was inspired by the African proverb "speak softly and have a big stick", to represent a friendly diplomacy, but which had great power to face any unwanted intervention. Roosevelt devoted this term mainly to the attempts of European interventions in the American continent, he affirmed that the USA had a great economic, political and military power to prevent these interventions, although looking for a friendly relationship with Europe.

(8) They were very popular at that time. (9) The AAGPBL was a hit.

Inaugural Address
by John F. Kennedy, January 20, 1961 (excerpt)
Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans-born in this
century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing
of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose
any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
This much we pledge-and more.
To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United there is little we cannot do in a host
of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do—for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.

Which statement best describes the persuasive strategy of the speaker?
ОА. The speaker passionately argues the idea that America needs to continue to grow.
B. The speaker ethically highlights the idea that America has pledged its loyalty to friends.
C. The speaker emotionally calls upon American citizens to be united in pursuit of ideals.
D. The speaker logically presents the idea that all Americans need to stand together.
Answer:
D. The speaker logically presents the idea that all Americans need to stand together.
Explanation:
I have chosen D because of the final sentence:
"United there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do—for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder."
This sentence shows that united, we can do everything together. But divided, we can't do anything because we can't face something together and risk conflict.
I have looked at all the answers and read the passage well. They all seem to be logical. I have chosen D because I think it is the best answer.

Read the following excerpt and pay close attention to the words the author uses:
Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolution, the first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of nuclear power, and this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to be a part of it--we mean to lead it. For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond. We have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and understanding.

Explanation:
in this passage, i experienced both positivity and the opposite. Some words i can use to describe this passage are influential, certain, and beneficial. i can use influential to describe this passage because it states,"For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond." this tells me that the people are willing to go and explore the space and beyond for freedom and not in hostage. i can use certain because it states,"Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolution, the first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of nuclear power, and this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space." this shows me that they were certain and proved it too. last but not least i can use determined because in the text it states,"We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and understanding." this shows me that they are willing to prevent these and are determined to chance the world for good.
