Analyze Thurber is known for his humor and wit. How does he convey
humor in this story? Cite details from the text to support your response
Answer:
Thurber conveyed humor in this story by making weird interpretations of the characters in the story. The next morning when Thurber met the American woman, he said, "The reason Duncan resembled Lady Macbeth's father as he slept is that it actually was her father!” “Good God!" breathed my companion softly. In this statement, Thurber attributed the death of the King to Lady Macbeth's father who appeared once in the story and this surprised the American woman.
Explanation:
Thurber used humor in this story, a skill employed by writers to make the story fun and evoke laughter by giving unusual interpretation of events in the story. When the American woman was suspecting Macduff as the person who killed the King, Thurber came with an entirely different interpretation the next morning stating that it was Lady Macbeth's father who made just one appearance in the story that killed the King.
When the woman asked him who he suspected since he was going to buy Hamlet, he said "Everybody". These were funny and weird behaviors of Thurber.
1. PART A: Which of the following best describes a central idea of the text?
O A The human race is evolving beyond the need for petty fighting.
OB Above all, soldiers duties are to serve and protect their country.
C Soldiers should never question others or engage in politics.
D The only way to ensure global peace is through waging war.
Answer:
Explanation:
A
The best description of a central idea of the text is A. The human race is evolving beyond the need for petty fighting.
The central idea of the text might be discussing the need for global peace and offering reasons for the many needless fights and wars that human beings engage in.
Therefore, it does not see the reason for all the petty fighting that is going on among different human races.
Thus, the correct description of the central idea cannot be about the recognized duties and responsibilities of soldiers, nor is it to propose wars as means of achieving global peace.

Superhero 101: A Family Secret
Trace knew he would have to try to explain to his grandmother why he had missed her birthday party. He was dreading the conversation and the lie that he would inevitably have to tell. He thought telling her the truth would only open a Pandora’s box. He rang the doorbell, and his grandmother answered right away, like she had been waiting for him. He had called and told her he would try to come by sometime that day, but he had not given her a precise time.
She greeted him warmly, and he followed her into the kitchen where she had her customary jar of fresh-baked cookies ready for his indulgence. His grandmother was endearingly predictable. She had a daily routine and rarely deviated from it. Trace thought that given her lifestyle and penchant for routine and order, there was no way she would ever understand his life as Beetleman. He hated that he had no choice but to lie to his grandmother, whom he loved so much.
They sat at the kitchen table. His grandmother poured him an ice-cold glass of milk and filled a plate with her delicious chocolate chip cookies. Before he had a chance to apologize, his grandmother spoke. “Trace, I’m glad you called and came by today. I know you’re upset about missing my birthday party, but before you say anything about it, there is something I want to show you,” she said.
She went to a drawer and retrieved what appeared to be a large bracelet cuff made of silver. She handed it to Trace. He looked at it carefully. His grandmother moved his hands and pointed to something inscribed on the inside of the bracelet. “Look at this. It's what I wanted you to see,” she said as Trace read the words “Family First.” His heart sank when he read those words and recounted all the times that he had to sacrifice time with his family for his secret life.
His grandmother noticed his dejected expression. “Trace, I didn’t show you this to make you feel bad about your choices. I know that they aren’t always yours to make. This cuff belonged to your grandfather. He had those words inscribed because they are what kept him going and allowed him to make those same tough choices.”
Trace stared at this grandmother. What was she saying? His grandfather was a superhero too?
She continued, “Your grandfather loved helping people, just like you do. That’s where you got your gift—from him. Many times he had to miss family parties and outings because of his calling. But I always knew he did it for us—family first.”
Trace was astounded. He’d had no idea that his grandfather was a superhero; now he realized that he no longer had to lie to his grandmother. His parents had died when he was very young, and his grandparents had raised him. He recalled his grandfather missing his 10th birthday party and how upset and angry he had been at his grandfather. He had cried himself to sleep that night, wrongly thinking that he was not important to his grandfather.
Trace looked at the bracelet carefully, realizing that to him, it was as precious as the Hope diamond. He glanced up at his grandmother.
“His love for his family was his kryptonite,” his grandmother continued. “The only time he was weak was when you or I were in danger. He couldn’t bear the thought of anything happening to us after what happened to your parents.”
In “Superhero 101: A Family Secret,” Trace misses his grandmother's birthday party and visits her to apologize.
How does this incident provoke Trace's grandmother to make a decision?
She shows Trace the bracelet and reveals that his grandfather was a superhero.
She insists that Trace follow in his grandfather’s footsteps and adopt his motto.
She wonders if Trace wants to continue to be a superhero like his grandfather.
She reveals the truth about his parents' deaths.

I DONT NEED A WHOLE ESSAY!! But I need to brainstorm 2 specific examples that prove the argument.
Answer: To not show bias or favoritism on both sides of the issue, the student must make sure to treat each side equally--to an equal or uniform degree. Being bias means being one-sided and only inclined to one side. Therefore, in order to avoid biases, the student must be objective enough when considering both sides of the issue.

Explanation:
I'm going to tell you how the most terrifying day of my life was.
I was 5 years old and I was going to my grandmother's house with my mother. It was 11 at night and everything was very dark. As we walked we could hear the dogs howling and worst of all, it was a very windy night.
The trees were moving with great force and the wind made noise when blowing. And suddenly, shortly before reaching my grandmother's house, a cat comes out of the trees and runs across my legs. I will never forget the shock I felt that night.
A narrative paragraph is one that tells a situation. It is usually a successive enumeration of facts, usually arranged chronologically.
