Answer:
The Boy: A skinny boy who really has the passion for soccer but doesn't have the skills to play. He soon meets the Mentor, Keeper. The Keeper: A Ghostly mentor who teaches the boy about soccer and the basics of being a keeper. Faustino: The reporter that is interviewing El Gato, or the boy.
Explanation:
In Keeper there are three main characters. The first character that will be written about is El Gato, the protagonist of the story. El Gato is actually just a nickname. He is a huge man who normally is very quiet. He is a world cup winning goalkeeper, and throughout the story, he is telling a soccer reporter his past in an interview. El Gato's mentor was a mysterious man referred to 'The Keeper' and nothing more. The Keeper's actual name is never mentioned at all in the book. The Keeper was somewhat of a phantom, and one doesn't learn much about him until the end of the story. The last character was a reporter, whose name is Paul Faustino. He wants to do the interview to receive a big bonus from his boss, because Paul is obsessed with money. NB: The reporter, Paul Faustino, was the first character mentioned in the story. El Gato was the second, and the Keeper was the third.

PLEASE HELP MEEE As a parable, or a simple story used to illustrate a lesson, what knowledge or moral does the poem, "The Blind Man And The Elephant" impart to the audience?
Answer:
The moral of the story is that people should give room for other people’s ideas, opinions and experiences. People’s experiences should not be disregarded because they are different from ours or different from the norm. This is because people are different with different backgrounds and experiences and will always see things differently.
Explanation:
The story for parable of “The Blind Men and the Elephant” is a parable that originated in Indian. It is the story of a particular group of blind men who had never seen an elephant before.
They try to learn about it for the very first time by touching an elephant. Each man begins by touching different parts of the body of the elephant. Because they each touched different parts of the elephant, they describe it in different ways. This led to disagreements because each of them described the elephants based on their own experience and felt the other was being dishonest.
Answer:
The moral of the story is that people should give room for other people’s ideas, opinions and experiences. People’s experiences should not be disregarded because they are different from ours or different from the norm. This is because people are different with different backgrounds and experiences and will always see things differently.

Which word in this excerpt from H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds provides a context clue to the meaning of the word descended?
Answer:
Fallen.
Explanation:
The term "descended" means the act of falling, coming down from a higher place to a lower place. It is the act of coming down from a higher grown to a lower grown.
In H. G. Wells's "The War of the Worlds", the narrator/ speaker uses the term "fall/ fallen" multiple times in the given excerpt. The speaker describes the fallen mass "from outer space" which people thought must be another meteorite. And that was also why people did not go looking for it, for no one thought or expected it to be an alien ship.
Thus, the word is "fallen".
Read this excerpt from the speech "Cause of the Great War" delivered by British Prime Minister David Lloyd George after World War I. Which statement accurately describes the use of rhetorical devices in this excerpt? We begged Germany not to attack Belgium, and produced a treaty, signed by the King of Prussia, as well as the King of England, pledging himself to protect Belgium against an invader, and we said, "If you invade Belgium we shall have no alternative but to defend it." The enemy invaded Belgium, and now they say, "Why, forsooth, you, England, provoked this war." It is not quite the story of the wolf and the lamb. I will tell you why —because Germany expected to find a lamb and found a lion.
Answer:
The writer uses metaphor to tell the audience that England will defeat Germany in the war.
Explanation:
According to the given excerpt from the speech "Cause of the Great War", the narrator talks about how Great Britain and other countries begged Germany not to invade Belgium because if they did so, their Allies would fight back, but they refused to take heed and tried to act like they were the ones that started the war.
The statement that accurately describes the use of rhetorical devices in this excerpt is that the writer uses metaphor to tell the audience that England will defeat Germany in the war.

Write a paragraph that states and defends a claim about which object from A History of the World in 100 Objects is the most historically significant. Choose one of the following objects: the Benin plaques, The Great Wave, the Sudanese slit drum, or the suffragette-defaced penny.
Answer:
Benin Plaque is the most historically significant object in my opinion. This plaque is dominated by the majestic figure of the Oba himself. "It is about 40 centimetres (16 inches) square; its colour strikes you as coppery rather than brassy, and there are five figures on it, three Africans and two Europeans. In the proudest relief, on his throne, wearing a high helmet-like crown and looking straight out at us, is the Oba." It is also recorded that more than in 1 in 20 Londoners were of black African descent, a figure that has continued to rise in the years since. Modern British life and culture now have a strong African component. This development is merely the latest chapter in the history of relations between Africa and western Europe. It is very unique.
Explanation:
The Benin plagues are metal plagues and sculptures that are used for the decoration of the royal palace of the Benin kingdom.
The plaque is dominated by the majestic figure of the Oba. In the proudest relief, on his throne, wearing a high helmet-like crown and looking straight out at us, is the Oba.
It is also recorded that more than 1 in 20 Londoners were of black African descent, a figure that has continued to rise in the years since. The plagues are typically made of brass and bronze and signify the culture of the people of Benin.

Read this excerpt from "Proserpine."
No comfort did the words of the Sun God bring to the longing soul of Demeter. And her wounded heart grew bitter. Because she suffered, others must suffer as well . . . Then upon the earth did there come dearth and drought and barrenness.
How does this incident provoke a decision in the story?

C. In order to save the earth from perpetual suffering Zeus decided to partially restore prospering to her mother.
Answer:
In order to save the earth from perpetual suffering, Zeus decides to partially restore Proserpine to her mother.

Which type of sentence is this? As Jim sat down on the rickety old chair, it abruptly collapsed beneath him.
Answer:
Complex sentence.
Explanation:
A complex sentence contains one independent clause and one or more dependant clauses.
An independent clause can stand on its own. The information in it makes sense and does not need extra information to understand its meaning.
A dependant clause can not stand on its own. If we read a dependant clause alone, some information is missing, and we cannot fully understand the meaning of this clause.
In this case, the independent clause is -It abruptly collapsed beneath him- and the dependant clause is - As Jim sat down on the rickety old chair-. We can see that the dependant clause is missing information and that it contains the word as, which is a subordinating conjunction that links the clauses and is present in dependant clauses.
Answer:
its complex the guy above is wrong

What makes Tea Cake finally “snap”? What happens as a result?
Answer:
The one that causes Tea Cake to finally "snap" is the fact that Mrs. Turner, a co-owner of a coffee shop, would introduce his wife to her white son, since she considered it unacceptable that a Caucasian woman was with a black man, when Tea Cake heard the conversation, beat his wife severely, which generated the separation of the couple, many thought that the rage expressed by Tea Cake was product of Hydrophobia, a disease from which he died shortly after.
Explanation:
What made the Tea Cake “snap” was the jealousy he felt towards his wife.
We can arrive at this answer because:
Tea Cake was filled with rage when he saw that Mrs. Turner was introducing a man to his wife.He found this unacceptable and completely lost control, reaching the point of assaulting his wife and threatening her life.In addition to the jealousy, he felt diminished as he is a black man and his wife was being introduced to a white man.Tea Cake's reaction is vastly over the top and reflects his explosive and passionate personality.

An author claims that "zoos do more good than harm." The author provides the following as support for the claim: In 2012, the well-respected research firm Martin and Associates conducted a study on the request of animal rights activists. The published report was overwhelmingly one-sided. Head researcher Adeline Moreno summed up the results by stating, "The importance of zoos cannot be overstated. The economic and educational benefits for humans are great. The protection and preservation of endangered species is even greater." Which choice best describes the support the author provides? (5 points) a It is effective support for the claim. b It is ineffective support because it does not help prove the claim. c It is ineffective support because it presents opinion rather than fact. d It is ineffective support because it provides no source for the information.
Answer:
It is ineffective support because it does not help prove the claim.
His claim is that they do more harm than good, but he uses a one sided study that states zoos are great for learning and species preservation.
