Click the button below to read the first few paragraphs of a story titled "Petting Zoo," by Peter de Niverville.

This must be the place, he concluded. Carefully turning up the heavily rutted lane, Johnson
wondered what he would find. Perhaps one of the locals playing a joke on the tourists, he
mused.
Tall grass slapped at the bottom of the car and rusted barbed wire clung to rotted posts that
ran alongside the lane. In the untilled fields, scrubby bushes had sprung up like mushrooms.
Johnson tried to imagine what the farm looked like in better days, but it was impossible.
When he reached the top of the hill, the farmhouse looked even more decrepit. Blistered paint
hung from the wooden shingles and there was a disturbing sag in the middle of the roof. What
once had been the side garden was now occupied by tall thistles and a mass of tangled timbers indicated the former site of the main barn.
Except for the glass still being intact in the windows, the house looked abandoned. Where is
everybody? thought Johnson. In response to his question, an old woman dressed in a black
skirt and a woolen sweater stepped out the side door. She was gnarled and withered like the
lone apple tree that stood in the yard. Johnson guessed she must have been at least 70, maybe even 80 years old.
“What you want?” she spat.
Turning off the CD player and rolling down the car window, he replied, “Is this the petting zoo?”
“That’s what the sign says, don’t it?”
Ignoring her rudeness, Johnson continued, “Are you open?”
“I’ll git Jake. He out back choppin’ wood.”
He watched as she shuffled down a dirt path and disappeared around a corner of the house.
Charming, thought Johnson.

Answers

Hello. Although you have submitted a text, you have not submitted any questions related to it, which makes it impossible for me to provide you with an answer. However, I will try to help you by showing you what is happening in this text.

The text you show above presents a logical fallacy. A logical fallacy is an argument that was created with incorrect reasoning but was presented as true. This text introduces the logical fallacy known as Straw man. This kind of fallacy causes a person in a debate to reproduce his opponent's argument in a distorted way and with a completely different meaning. We can see this fallacy in the question above because when Trish Harris claims that increasing school hours would help students get better grades on tests, Dan Richardson reproduces this comment completely distorted, claiming that Trish devalued the students and claimed they were the worst students of the district.

Explanation:

The map does indeed show a simplistic view of how the triangular sugar-related trade worked.

Industrial goods produced in Europe would be brought to Africa where they would be exchanged with local slave traders for enslaved people.

These enslaved people would then be taken to the American colonies where they would be forced to work on sugar fields.

The sugar is then transported to Europe where goods are produced in industries and the process resumes again.

A. consider a variety of points for illumination.

Explanation:

A persuasive essay can be defined as a type of essay in which the aim or goals of the writer is to convince the readers (audience) to accept their own point of view, perspective, ideas or opinions. Thus, the main purpose of a persuasive essay is to inform an action in the minds of the potential readers by accepting all or part of the ideas, views, or perception being expressed by the writer.

Basically, the three (3) goals or elements of a persuasive essay are;

I. Convince: this is to make the readers or audience believe the views being expressed through the use of evidence, superior arguments or logic.

II. Stimulation: this is simply to create excitement and enthusiasm in the minds of potential readers while believing the writer.

Write an article to the editor Daily Mail News paper on the causes and solutions to the problem at hand

Answers

Hi. You didn't present the problem that should be solved in the article. This makes it impossible for an article to be written to the point of solving your question. However, I will try to help you as best I can.

In order to write this article, you will need to analyze the problem it must present. When analyzing this problem, you must identify what has caused its existence and then stipulate a way to exterminate these causes, preventing this problem from happening again.

After identifying these factors, you should start writing the article. This article can be written in four paragraphs. In the first paragraph, you will present the introduction, which will be a short paragraph, where you will present the problem and show the purpose of the article.

The second paragraph should be a bigger one, where you will present and debate the causes of this problem, showing the composition and how they act to make the problem exist.

The third paragraph must also be large and present the solutions, that is, how these causes will be eliminated and how this will be implemented and maintained, preventing the problem from remaining.

The last paragraph is the conclusion, where you will present your resolutions about the problem and the need to solve it.

In both of your paragraphs, make sure you cite specific examples from the play to Support your ideas.

this question is pertaining to Shakespeare's Julius Caesar if that helps!​

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The conflict between Cesar and his supporters against his conspirators occurs due to the discrepancy of vision, in relation to Cesar, that the conspirators and supporters have. While the conspirators frame Cesar as a manipulator, dangerous and hungry for power; supporters see him as a great leader and a thoughtful and efficient ruler. This duality can be seen in two moments, first in Act I, Scene II when Cassius tries to convince Brutus to stop supporting Cesar, take the reins of his own life and become a conspirator. This can also be seen in Act V, Scene I, when Cassius asks Brutus to not only stop supporting Cesar, but help murder him. In both cases, Brutus is confused whether or not he should support Cesar.

This confusion of Brutus is passed on to the reader, since Cesar has, in fact, great qualities and defects. This confusion is only broken by the positioning of Marco Antonio, who is extremely faithful to Caesar and presents all the hypocrisy of the conspirators to conspire and kill Cesar by showing that all of Caesar's acts were in favor of the Roman people.

"The Tragedie of Julius Caesar" was written by William Shakespeare and tells how the conspiracy that ended the life of Julio Cesar, the Roman dictator, was established, as well as tells the results and consequences of that assassination.

Science is the observation and experiment-based study of the natural world. In order to explain anything we observe in the natural world, scientists employ observations and measurements. Scientific explanations must be logical and consistent with the evidence, or at the very least, they must match as much of the evidence as possible.
