Answer and Explanation:
This question is about the short story "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry. The name of the story is an allusion to the wise Magi who brought gifts to Jesus Christ once he was born.
In the story, Della and her husband Jim end up sacrificing their most valuable possessions to give each a Christmas gift. They are a poor couple, but they love each other very much and cannot bear the idea of not having something nice to give. Della sells her beautiful long hair to buy a gold chain for Jim's watch. Jim sells his watch to buy expensive combs to adorn Della's hair. Therefore, one cannot wear what the other has bought them.
They may not look wise after making such decisions. However, according to the narrator, they are as wise, perhaps even more, than the Magi. Unlike the Magi, Della and Jim made sacrifices because of their love. Being able to sacrifice is a great demonstration of wisdom, and quite a rare one. Jim and Della understand what true love is.
Answer:
Sample response
Explanation:
Sample Response: Della and Jim both make sacrifices for each other because they care about each other. Della sacrifices her hair, and Jim sacrifices his watch. Even though their sacrifices make them unable to use each other's presents, they realize how important their love is. This makes them wise, as the theme suggests.
Based on the case studies, what are some of the things these former students had to sacrifice in order to pay back their student loans?
Answer:
Furniture, Electronics, Cars, Houses, even jewlery.

What is the best way to rewrite this sentences as a compound sentence?
Curiosity's landing on Mars required tremendous effort. The six-wheeled rover weighs nearly one ton.
A. Curiosity's landing on Mars required tremendous effort; and the six-wheeled rover weighs nearly one ton.
B. Curiosity's landing on Mars required tremendous effort, for the six-wheeled rover weighs nearly one ton.
C. Curiosity's landing on Mars required tremendous effort; nor the six-wheeled rover weighs nearly one ton.
D. Curiosity's landing on Mars required tremendous effort, yet the six-wheeled rover weighs nearly one ton.
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
A is excluded because the part of the sentence after the semicolon is not an independent clause.
C is not a properly structured sentence. The meaning is fuzzy, and difficult to comprehend.
Finally, D. The "yet" indicates a form of surprise at a certain outcome. It does not work in this situation because 1 ton is a lot of weight.
This explanation is weird but I hope this helped!

Describe a character in a series/movie that you idolise thoroughly. You can talk about how they dress, speak, walk, etc.
AlohaS4
Answer & Explanation:
A character that I idolize thoroughly in a series/movie would be "Aloha" from "Coroika/Splatoon". It's a manga series by Nintendo. Aloha is a very different character, someone who stood out to me almost instantly. He's very confident and kind while being very childish and a bit crazy at times. He's a fun character overall and his design was very laid-back to me.
Aloha speaks in a very "party" type style. What I mean by "party" style is his slang. He doesn't use full sentences or full words. Aloha's style of slang gives off a carefree vibe. He's not strict and likes to have fun rather than following rules.
Aloha's dressing style is something that would be better described as something you'd wear at the beach or on vacation. He's seen usually with a light blue shirt styled with white flower-type designs on it. He wears shorts and tennis shoes that are styled in all different colors. Pink, yellow, blue, etc. He usually puts his hair in a ponytail with some left down. He wears a pink golf visor.
Aloha is from a world where humans died 12,000 years ago and squids, octopuses, and jellyfish as well as some other smaller sea creatures have evolved into more humanoid characters. In this world, Turf War is the main way of living, they play Turf War games for entertainment and money. But, Aloha does it for simple fun with his close friends. People he would consider family, even. He's one of the highest ranks as the 3rd highest S ranker in their whole city of Inkopolis. The ranks are C, B, A, S, X. "X" rank being the highest, Of course, you can be a "#" minus, too. So, a "C -" Is the lowest possible rank while an "X +" Is the highest possible rank.
The reason I idolize this character, Aloha, so much is that he always gave off a very calm feeling to me. He was kind but confident. I have always had a lack of confidence. Aloha also had this feeling of being crazy and carefree. He kind of reminds me of a child, someone very young. Of course, he's older than me, but, he still felt like someone most could get along with. He's hard to hate when he's always so carefree and kind to everyone. Aloha has been seen multiple times through the series with his best friends or his Turf War teammates. They're a tightly-knit team who play in an unpredictable way, making them hard to beat when you have no idea what they'll do next.
~Aloha
PS: Yes, I named my account after this character. I idolize him very much. ^-^
In "Excerpt from Minuk: Ashes in the Pathway," what is the narrator's point of view about the life of an adult in her culture? Use two details from the story to support your response. (RL6.6) *
Answer:
The narrator has described the life of adults in "Excerpt from Minuk: Ashes in the Pathway" as boring.
Explanation:
"Excerpt from Minuk: Ashes in the Pathway" is an excerpt taken from Minuk written by Kirkpatrick Hill. The excerpt shares the life of children and adults in her culture.
She asserts that the life of adults in her culture was boring as they did not have rights to have fun and play like children. She remarks that how her mother, grandmother, and aunts would touch the narrator's dolls as if they were missing playing with it.
The textual evidence:
"Even Mamma and Grandma and the aunts came out into the spring sun to touch our dolls and look at their clothes, as if they’d missed them, too. I thought that sometimes it must be hard to be grown-up and not able to play."
"Our grandfather had carved both of our dolls from driwood. Mine had tiny lines for tattoos on the chin and little black eyes and a straight mouth. I loved her serious little face."
Answer:
I think the narrator's point of view from the "Excerpt from Minuk: Ashes in the Pathway" thinks that adult life is challenging and is proud of the adults in her culture because of their work and she feels they are an important aspect of her village.
Explanation:
One example is when she says "I thoughts that sometimes it must be hard to be a grown-up and not able to play". This sentence shows that she thinks it is challenging to resist the urge to play as an adult. Another example is when she talks about her relatives making her doll clothes and the men in her village winning a war against another village. The feeling of pride comes over her as she is grateful for the clothing to play with and she is very proud of her villages' men to win this war against another village. This shows that she respects the adults in her village, and feels that they are important to her growing life. Although the life of an adult does not appeal to her now, she feels that they play a major role in her life and that their life is very challenging and is needed to help her village grow.

why do you think Ceaser refused the crown three times? What was his motive?
Answer:
There are differing responses to this question, depending on which character provides the answer. Casca explains to Brutus and Cassius that, in the arena, Caesar refused the crown every time Antony offered it because each time he refused, the crowd responded uproariously. Casca observes that “he would fain have had it,” implying that Caesar’s refusal was, essentially, theater and that he was simply pandering to the crowd. On the other hand, Antony uses the same incident to reveal that Caesar refused the crown because he was not ambitious or power-hungry. However, it’s more likely that Caesar’s motivations were as Casca implies: Caesar theatrically refused the crown to further secure the hearts and minds of the people, and he fully intended to accept the crown when the senate officially offered it to him.
1] I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
[5] Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
[10] Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
[15] A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
[20] In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
What happens in the first stanza?
The poet describes a time that he felt lonely and came upon a field of daffodils.
The poet ponders the meaning of life and the challenges and joys of the hills and valleys.
The poet reflects on a moment when he realized that nature could be gentle or harsh.
The poet sees an amazing view from the mountaintops he has just finished climbing.

I would say B, the poet ponders the meaning of life and the challenges and joys of the hills and valleys
