Judson, reaching for his boots, stepped fairly upon the acorn, his foot slid from under him and his head struck the massive table as he fell. Several minutes later he began to regain his senses. Alec’s strong arm was supporting his as he lay on the porch and a kindly voice was saying: “’Twarn’t much of a fall, Mr. Webb. You aren’t cut none; jest knocked out for a minute. Here, take this; it’ll pull you together.” A small glass was pressed to his lips. Dazed and half-conscious, he drank.

How does Alec’s arrival in the cabin affect the events of the story and how does this relate to the theme? Explain.

Answer:

Alec's arrival leads Judson to drink the poisoned whiskey and most probably to his death.

This is related to the theme of the story because Judson tried to get justice in his own hands, leading to him getting the same treatment.

Explanation:

The short story "Ruthless" by William DeMille revolves around the story of Judson Webb and his "trap" of putting poisoned whiskey for whoever broke into his cabin house while he's away. The story has a dramatic ending with that same whiskey being given to Mr. Webb.

Alec is the caretaker of the cabin while the city folks are away. So, after Mr. Webb put the rat poison in the whiskey, he was on his way to return to the city. But he slipped on an acorn, knocking him out for some time. And when he gained consciousness, he saw that he given whiskey, which seemed to be his poisoned whiskey. So, Alec's arrival leads to Judson drinking the poisoned whiskey.

This relates to the main theme of not taking things into one's own hands. Trying to exact justice into one's own hands would lead to serious consequences.

What is the central idea?


A. The narrator is trying to figure out which kind of writing she’d like to do for a career.


B. The narrator is not sure whether she wants to be a writer or pursue a different career.


C. The narrator decided to stay at her part-time job after she graduated college.


D. The narrator does not yet have the responsibilities of someone at a “real” job.


The previous spring, I’d taken up my boss on his offer and stayed at my part-time job through the summer after college. He gave me more hours, so I was making more money, but I didn’t yet have the responsibility of a “real” job. I’d been an English major and wanted to be a writer, though I had no idea what kind of writer. I’d taken the summer to think about things and prepare for a fall job search.


(I'm leaning towards A. just checking)

The excerpt is taken from Patrick Henry's famous "Give me liberty or give me death" speech to the Second Virginia Convention in 1775. Which sentence suggests that Patrick Henry believed British rule in the American colonies was tyrannical?

No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do, opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely, and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. {The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country.} {For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery;} and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfil the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. {Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offence, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country}, and of an act of disloyalty toward the majesty of heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.

Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. {We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts.} Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? {For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.}

Which of the following is the most precise claim to introduce the passage?
James Naismith: Inventor of Basketball
Naismith's
upbringing was modest; he grew up in Canada as an orphan living with an aunt and uncle. He had many responsibilities as a child and
didn't do well in school, but he was always a leader in outdoor and athletic activities. The leadership Naismith demonstrated among his
childhood peers continued as he grew into adulthood.
Naismith came to the United States to teach at Springfield College in Massachusetts. While he was teaching there, the head of the
physical education department challenged him to dream up a game that could keep a class of rowdy young men active and engaged
throughout the cold winter months. Naismith had to think of something that would encourage everyone to play and keep them active
without being too rough with each other.

write a couple of paragraph writing your plans and intention that you are going to when you will be meet your teachers and friends physically

A.) Read the beginning of Jason's argumentative speech on the use of Internet slang and answer the question.

The use of acronyms, or abbreviations, is not new. In fact, there are examples of the use of acronyms that date back to antiquity. Ancient scribes had a daunting enough task without having to write out every word. The Christian Church has inscribed the acronym INRI, which stands for the Latin Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum ("Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews") over the crucifix for centuries. American and European corporations discovered long ago that it is easier to remember three letters than it is to remember three names. During the twentieth century, there was an upsurge in the use of acronyms that corresponded with the introduction of highly technical vocabulary. The tendency to shorten has an established history and many of these abbreviations have even found their way into the dictionary. Today, the use of time-saving abbreviations provides the language of internet and other wireless communication. But should it? Unlike in the past, this shortening does not represent a natural and necessary progression of language change. Internet slang is a manifestation of two much more serious problems with modern society— intellectual laziness and too little time.

Which sentence would provide the best transition into the counterargument paragraph of this essay?

1- OMG! don't we have bigger problems as a society than taking a few short-cuts when it comes to communication?

2- Until recently, the use of acronyms could be justified in most contexts.

3- Many would argue that there is no harm in populating our communication with OMGs and LOLs given their widespread use.

4- Intellectual laziness is a treatable disease, while finding more time is much more challenging.
__________________________________________________________________
B.) Read this excerpt from Jason's persuasive speech and answer the question.

The main reason for using a slang unique to the Internet is to make communication easier.

Which revision would add supporting evidence to best strengthen Jason's claim?

1.) Add this sentence to the above excerpt: However, there is some debate about how internet slang influences everyday language.

2.) Add this sentnece to the above excerpt: Studies suggest that saving a few keystrokes can both reduce stress and lead to more productivity.

3.) Add this sentence to the above excerpt: However, while Internet slang shortcuts save time for the writer, according to at least one study they take two times as long for the reader to understand.

4.) Add this sentence to the above excerpt: Only strict grammarians object, arguing that Internet slang is a degradation of standard usage.
