What is the central idea of "the importance of winning"? Provide two pieces of evidence to support your response.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The central idea of the text is that there are situations in which winning is the most important thing, as well as how this victory was achieved.

Explanation:

"The importance of Winning" is a text that highlights how the sense of winning and losing is relative and variable in several different situations. In this text, we can see that the author states that we are taught, since we were children, that winning is not the most important situation in our lives, what matters is that we participate and have fun in a situation. This can be true in school competitions, or playing with our friends. However, there are situations in which winning is very important and the way you win is essential. An example of this, can be seen in politics and for that, the text addresses the presidential election of France where one of the candidates was an ultra nationalist who wanted to expel all immigrants from France, while the other candidate was a conservative politician more tolerant of immigration and cooperation with other countries. This was a case in which winning was of extreme importance for both candidates and migrants.

ok i need help Write an argumentative essay for or against always telling the truth, even in situations that may be hurtful to others.
this is just a writing promt so dont got to much detail. Like ideas of what i will put int he final draft

Answers

Answer:

Telling the truth can be very helpful for you and for future situations. Lying can get you into a lot of trouble. Little lies can also turn into big lies that never end. Even if it is hard to tell the truth in some stressful situations, you should. It will make people think of you as a trustworthy and loyal person. Some people might think that its ok to tell a little lie to not be hurtful. You can still tell the truth and phrase it in a way that won't be hurtful. Its selfish to lie in any situation.

Explanation:

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.

Read the excerpt from “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry.”

For me, reading has always been a path toward liberation and fulfillment. To learn to read is to start down the road of liberation, a road which should be accessible to everyone. No one has the right to keep you from reading, and yet that is what is happening in many areas in this country today. There are those who think they know best what we should read. These censors are at work in all areas of our daily lives.

Which best describes the rhetoric used in this excerpt to increase the reader’s awareness of censorship?
A. factual evidence is used to appeal to the reader’s sense of logic
B. a strong opinion is presented to appeal to the reader’s sense of justice
C. an emotional anecdote is related to appeal to the reader’s sympathy

Independent reading has a direct effect on standardized test scores. Yes or no?

Answers

Yes because let’s say a teacher has assigned you to read a specific book and tells you “ You are to read 10 pages a day and by the end of this semester, you will be tested on the book. Please take good notes and bookmark any important pages.” If you read the requested amount, plus taking good notes, you will be able to study them and be in good shape on the day of the test. If you choose to procrastinate or not read, you might end up having to read the ENTIRE book in one night (which is not fun). Not only will that be difficult but your brain might not be able to retain all that info at one time. Meaning you will not be in good shape for the test and might end up with a rather trashy score :/ So yes, independent reading does effect test scores. And remember to tackle any procrastination if you do not want to stay up at 3 am reading a book! You got this!

B. He is too tired to run and decides to die

C. He slows down so his dog can catch up

Explanation:

In ''To Build a Fire'' a man is traveling in the Yukon in very cold weather with a dog. He attempts to build a fire multiple times but fails each time as the cold and snow snuff it out.

When he predicts that he was nearing death as the cold got worse, he decided to start running in order to get blood circulating around his body but it is too cold and he is too tired so his endurance fails him and he stops running. He now accepts that his death and meets it with perceived dignity by deciding to fall asleep and die from there.
