Answer:
The theme of the story is that intelligence is more effective than money in protecting people.
Explanation:
"McWilliamses and the burglar alarm" is a short story written by Mark Twain. In this story we know the McWilliams family who spent lots of money buying burglar alarms for the house where they live, but thieves keep entering the house frequently, which shows that the alarms are completely ineffective. When the family complains to the company that makes the burglar alarms, the company says they need a better and more expensive alarm, which also doesn't stop thieves from breaking into the house.
Given this, Mark Twain shows that the McWilliams family could not see that they were being deceived by the producer of the burglar alarms. This lack of family intelligence prevented them from realizing this and for that reason, they believed that money was needed to protect them, when intelligence was even more essential in this case. Thus, we can conclude that the theme of this story is that intelligence is more important than money to protect a person and their family.
It is important to emphasize that the theme of a story refers to the message that the author wants to promote through the text.

Why does the speaker disagree with native burial customs?
a) The speaker believes that death is an eternal sleep.
b) The speaker believes people should not be buried with every day objects.
c) The speaker believes Native Americans will rest well in the afterlife.
d) The speaker believes that death should not be joyful.
Answer:
a) The speaker believes that death is an eternal sleep.
Explanation:
Philip Morin Freneau's poem "The Indian Burying Ground" is about the speaker's recent visit to a burial ground of the Native Americans. This imaginative analysis of such burying grounds and contrasts it with the more 'decent' burial of the 'civilized' Europeans.
In the poem, the speaker reveals his opinion about burying the dead, "I still my old opinion keep; the posture that we give the dead, points out the soul's eternal sleep". And contrary to this, he reveals how the native tribes bury their dead, "seated with his friends, and shares again the joyous feast." He also points out his belief of the very nature of burial of the Indians, "activity, that knows no rest."
Thus, to the speaker, death is an eternal sleep.
Answer:
The speaker believes that death is an eternal sleep.Signal words and phrases help a reader determine a text’s __________.

In literature, many characters struggle. A common theme is man vs. himself. Choose a character from a book or short story you have read and explain his or her internal struggle. To earn credit for this forum, state the name of the character, the title of the work, and the author. Your response should be 3-5 sentences long and show that you’ve thought about the topic/question at hand. Please be aware we are looking for YOUR PERSONAL OPINION and there is not a single “correct answer.”
Answer:
"The Great Gatsby" is a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald in which the main character, Gatsby, develops the theme of man vs. self. This type of conflict takes place inside the character, so to speak, concerning his struggles with his feelings, decisions, and doubts. With Gatsby, the struggle lies in what he truly is and what he wishes to be. Gatsby lies to the world about his money and his business, but he cannot lie to himself. Thus, he is constantly wearing a metaphorical mask, constantly struggling with his own self-worth. In his desperation to be accepted, the mask falls. When accused by another character of being a criminal, Gatsby can no longer contain himself. If he did not care, perhaps the consequences wouldn't be so terrible. But he cares, a lot. Inside, Gatsby is still insecure - and that is what costs him everything he ever dreamed.
Explanation:
Take the answer above as an example. If you do not wish to write about "The Great Gatsby," feel free to choose a different character and literary work and use the answer as a template.
Conflicts, in literature, are the struggle between two opposing forces. There are external conflicts, such as character vs. character, or character vs. nature. There are also internal conflicts, such as character vs. self, which is the one we must develop in this answer.

Answer:
Martin’s great grandfather came to visit martin and his family, but the rosebud reservation, his great grandmother's home and martins home is about 3 days away by bus. Since he's 83 he of course passes out from fatigue after reaching martins home. But luckily he wakes up. Martin’s friends came to his house to see his great grandfather. Martin thought they were going to make fun of him because of his great grandfathers appearance. Both martin and his friends were amazed. Martin received the medicine bag from his great grandfather after his great grandfather handed the bag to martin he went to bed. He was taken to the hospital that night and died two weeks later. Martin’s predecessors had placed their own sacred possessions in the medicine bag. After the death of martin's grandfather he returns to the rosebud reservation and carries on the tradition. So basically the medicine bag is about a boy called martin that his ancestors are Native Americans. He used to tell untrue stories about his grand pa which he knew from the TV or movies and his friends believed him and thought that his grand pa is amazing but when his grand pa visited them he was so embarrasses of him because he didn't look like the way he told his friends about. He was very short and had grey hair and he was old two. but when martin's friends visited him to see his grand pa he was so ashamed and he thought that his friends will make fun of him and his grand pa but instead they loved his grand pa and thought that he is amazing and martin was so sad because he was embarrassed of his grand pa, so now he loves his grand pa and says that he is amazing.
He learned that he must not be embarrassed of his cultures or traditions. Before the grand pa died he gave him the medicine bag.

V. Underline the correct form of the word.
1. We've all been working very hard / hardly and now we're tired.
2. Our school Internet connection is really slow / slowly.
3. What's the matter with him? He looks angry / angrily.
4. The children are playing quiet / quietly in the garden.
5. Rural areas are common / commonly known as the countryside or a village.
6. Nomadic children are very brave / bravely to learn to ride a horse at the age of five.
7. The sun is shining bright / brightly through the trees.
8. We all find living in the city very stressful / stressfully.
9. Don't talk so fast / fastly - I can't understand what you're saying.
10. John was a kindly and generous / generously man.
Answer:
1. Hard
2. slow
3. angry
4. quietly
5. commonly
6. brave
7. brightly
8. stressful
9. fast
10. generous
Explanation:
Adverbs: describe the action that is happening. In number four, the children are PLAYING quietLY. Adverbs add the "LY" at the end of a describing word.
When you are just describing a noun, you don't need to add the "LY." So in number 2, you are describing the internet connection (a thing) and you would just say it is "slow" not "slowly."
