Answer:
It was only when I arrived at the house I realized I had forgotten her wish "Do not go, it will just disappoint you again. Maria please." I stared at my hand on the doorknob as i replied the look of fear on my mother's face. My father was never around. The first time he left he told me he was going to get me candy, the second it was books, on and on he lied to me. I haven't seen my father since that day. That day when he kissed me on the head. locked my door, and took the dog. My mind raced and my hands shook, sweaty I wiped them on my legs. "Papa will remember you, he will know you." I whispered under my breath. The door handle turned before i could touch it, "I told you not to come." The soft familiar voice rung in my ears as i turned up to her. She stared down at me with those eyes that hold you at gunpoint. "I told you he never existed Maria," I shook my head as tears formed making my vision blurry, I knew he never existed. I knew I made it all up, but why was it so real? "Mom, why was he real?" I stared at her as the tear lining of my eyes broke, sending salt down my cheeks. "Maria, you need to wake up. we did not exist." I feel as if i'm falling and jolt up. My father stares down at me from the door frame into my bedroom, "Mar, you've been speaking in your sleep again." I dart my eyes around as i start to collect myself and understand my surroundings, a dream. A dream again. "I really need to lay off chamomile before bed." I whisper, my dad chuckles and closes the door. I stretch out my hands to see them shaking. i pull back the covers and stand up as i get a glance of my mothers photo, her eyes stare straight into mine. I will never forget those eyes. Just as my mind starts to wonder I hear my brother yell down the hall I snap my eyes up from the frame and hear Josh's voice boom down the hallway and into my room, "Bacon's ready!" I grin as the scent lingers into my room. I smile but feel drawn to the photo of my mother again, my mom died years ago, I can't stand the sight of her anymore. Shivers run down my spine as i still recall the seriousness of her gaze. The fear of that dream still fights its way into my head, why do i keep seeing her every night. Why is she is always angry in these dreams, i have so many questions that i know can never be solved. My memories of her were mostly happy, "I don't understand anything anymore." I say dropping my head in my hands. "Well i understand you," Josh's voice interrupts "and I understand we have thin walls, so I know your hungry. C'mon Mar!"

30. Which of the following explains why a speech should be precise and concise
Ensure statements are humorous and believable.
Ensures statements are clever and repetitive.
Ensures statements are accurate and to-the-point.
Ensures statements are supportive and strategic
Answer:
Ensures statements are accurate and to-the-point.
Explanation:
A speech should be precise and concise because it ensures that statements are accurate and to-the-point.
Speeches are encouraged to be precise and concise so that the speaker can avoid unnecessary details and go straight to the point without boring his listeners but making them understand his point quickly.
Read the sentence. Determine if the appositive is restrictive or nonrestrictive based on punctuation. My dog Zeus won at the county dog show. What can be concluded about Zeus? Zeus is the speaker's only dog, because Zeus is a restrictive appositive. The speaker owns more than one dog, because Zeus is a restrictive appositive. Zeus is the speaker's only dog, because Zeus is a nonrestrictive appositive. The speaker owns more than one dog, because Zeus is a nonrestrictive appositive.
Answer: The speaker owns more than one dog, because Zeus is a restrictive appositive.
Explanation:
An appositive noun or phrase is said to be restrictive when the word that it modifies is being narrowed down. It simply tells the noun that one is writing about. A restrictive appositive is not separated from rest of the sentence by commas.
Since the sentence "My dog Zeus won at the county dog show" isn't separated by comma and tell us that the speaker owns more than one dog.
Answer: B The speaker owns more than one dog, because Zeus is a restrictive appositive
Explanation:
Consider these versions of The War of the Worlds.
Excerpt 1, from H. G. Wells's novel The War of the Worlds:
The common round the sand pits was dotted with people, standing like myself in a half-fascinated terror, staring at these creatures, or rather at the heaped gravel at the edge of the pit in which they lay. And then, with a renewed horror, I saw a round, black object bobbing up and down on the edge of the pit. It was the head of the shopman who had fallen in, but showing as a little black object against the hot western sun. Now he got his shoulder and knee up, and again he seemed to slip back until only his head was visible. Suddenly he vanished, and I could have fancied a faint shriek had reached me.
Excerpt 2, from Howard E. Koch's script for Orson Welles's radio adaptation:
PHILLIPS: Ladies and gentlemen, you've just heard Mr. Wilmuth, owner of the farm where this thing has fallen. I wish I could convey the atmosphere . . . the background of this . . . fantastic scene. Hundreds of cars are parked in a field in back of us. Police are trying to rope off the roadway leading to the farm. But it's no use. They're breaking right through. Cars' headlights throw an enormous spot on the pit where the object's half buried. Some of the more daring souls are now venturing near the edge. Their silhouettes stand out against the metal sheen.
Which statement best describes the similarity between these versions?
Both versions impart an urgent tone through a resident’s words.
Both versions impart setting details through colorful description.
Both versions explain the background of a scientific phenomenon.
Both versions use characterization to show the locals' intelligence.
Answer:
The statement which best describes the similarity between these versions is:
B. Both versions impart setting details through colorful description.
Explanation:
H. G. Wells was an English author (1866-1946) who wrote the famous novel "War of the Worlds," in which martians invade the Earth. As we know, the novel was adapted and broadcast via radio in 1938 to sound as if it were news bulletins. Allegedly, some people panicked while listening to the radio, truly believing the planet was under attack. However, we now know it was not a generalized panic.
Both excerpts give a colorful, vivid description of the scene before the narrator's eyes. Word choice makes it possible for readers, in the first case, and listeners, in the second, to really see, hear, or even feel the same things as the narrator. With the first excerpt, we can see the person who fell into the pit trying to leave it, only to slip back and then be dragged by some mysterious creature. With the second passage, we can see the cars, the police, the headlights, and finally the shadows of the people who have approached the object that fell from the sky.
Answer: B
Explanation: Both versions impart setting details through colorful description.

Answer:
Topic: Helping families during the pandemic.
Explanation:
Dear Mr/Mrs (your US representative)
As you know we are entering a pandemic, and the economy will become bad. Many business owners are going to fire their employees or putting them on a break without pay. The employees that make up these businesses are mainly a part of the lower and lower-middle class. Now the question is: When these families don't have a monthly income, how are they going to survive this pandemic?
Of course the higher and higher middle class will have no problem staying home and can afford all of their necessities. But the government will have to help our community. I propose that there should be at least 3 days out of the week where the city counsel can give out groceries to the families in need. These groceries can have the basic needs such as bread, eggs, milk, juice, rice etc. When the counsel gives out the groceries, they could be stationed somewhere where everyone knows how to get there.
I'm sure the counsel has some money to be able to do this for the community. This could help the families in these difficult times. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Your name

I want you to think about both of these songs: This is America by Childish Gambino
Im Not Racist by Joyner Lucas
Explanation:
These songs both had political backgrounds and influences. ((I advise you to do some googling on their meanings, I am going off somewhat on my own))
This is America was based off America's stereotypes and had metaphors about race and gun violence. He used his music platform to inform the world about the violence around them and his about his violent contradictions about being black in America.
Here is a link for a break down of the music video : https://time.com/5267890/childish-gambino-this-is-america-meaning/ (I don't know if it is an reliable source b/c media outlets are biased sometimes)
I'm not Racist is a song that was written about the state of race relations in America and how far apart blacks and whites are in how they see things in America. He used his platform to show the world the mindsets of specifics races (whites and blacks) to one another in their own county. "First, the white man unloads his frustrations and his views on Black Lives Matter, the NFL anthem protests. There are even potshots taken against 2Pac and Eminem.
Then the black man reacts. He takes on white privilege, cultural appropriation, and attacks against former President Barack Obama." - CNN news paper. And thrroughout the song both of the men insist "I'm not Racist".
Here is a link for the break down of the music video: https://www.cnn.com/2017/11/29/entertainment/joyner-lucas-not-racist-video-trnd/index.html (Please note that media outlets like these can be biased and CNN has been known to be biased so use caution and double check your info.)
Both of these men used the music platform to spread awareness of the political matters of the people in the United States.

Which three important events in the story should be included in its summary?
adapted from The Glass Axe
by Andrew Lang
There was once upon a time a King and Queen who had everything they could possibly wish for in this world except a child.At last, after twelve years, the Queen gave birth to a son; but she did not live long to enjoy her happiness, for on the following day she died. But before her death she called her husband to her and said, "Never let the child put his feet on the ground, for as soon as he does so he will fall into the power of a wicked Fairy, who will do him much harm." And these were the last words the poor Queen spoke.
The boy throve and grew big, and when he was too heavy for his nurse to carry, a chair was made for him on little wheels, in which he could wander through the palace gardens without help; at other times he was carried about on a litter, and he was always carefully watched and guarded for fear he should at any time put his feet to the ground.
But as this sort of life was bad for his health, the doctors ordered him horse exercise, and he soon became a first-rate rider, and used to go out for long excursions on horseback, accompanied always by his father's stud-groom and a numerous retinue.
Every day he rode through the neighboring fields and woods, and always returned home in the evening safe and well. In this way many years passed, and the Prince grew to manhood, and hardly anyone remembered the Queen's warning, though precautions were still taken, more from use and wont than for any other reason. One day the Prince and his suite went out for a ride in a wood where his father sometimes held a hunt. Their way led through a stream whose banks were overgrown with thick brushwood.Just as the horsemen were about to ford the river, a hare, startled by the sound of the horses' hoofs, started up from the grass and ran towards the thicket.The young Prince pursued the little creature, and had almost overtaken it, when the girth of his saddle suddenly broke in two and he fell heavily to the ground.No sooner had his foot touched the earth than he disappeared before the eyes of the horrified courtiers.They sought for him far and near, but all in vain, and they were forced to recognize the power of the evil Fairy. . . .
Hardly had the Prince touched the ground than he felt himself violently seized by an unseen power, and hurried away he knew not whither. A whole new world stretched out before him, quite unlike the one he had left. A splendid castle surrounded by a huge lake was the abode of the Fairy, and the only approach to it was over a bridge of clouds.On the other side of the lake high mountains rose up, and dark woods stretched along the banks; over all hung a thick mist, and deep silence reigned everywhere.No sooner had the Fairy reached her own domain than she made herself visible, and turning to the Prince she told him that unless he obeyed all her commands down to the minutest detail he would be severely punished.Then she gave him an axe made of glass, and bade him cross the bridge of clouds and go into the wood beyond and cut down all the trees there before sunset.At the same time she cautioned him with many angry words against speaking to a girl he would most likely meet in the wood. The Prince listened to her words meekly, and when she had finished took up the glass axe and set out for the forest. At every step he seemed to sink into the clouds, but fear gave wings to his feet, and he crossed the lake in safety and set to work at once.
Answer:
A. There was once upon a time a King and Queen who had everything they could possibly wish for in this world except a child.
B. "Never let the child put his feet on the ground, for as soon as he does so he will fall into the power of a wicked Fairy, who will do him much harm."
D. No sooner had his foot touched the earth than he disappeared before the eyes of the horrified courtiers.
Explanation:
A summary is a recap of the high points in a story. In this story, three important events that should be included in its summary are;
1. The introduction that laid the basis for the story. This will help readers to have a knowledge of the genesis of the problem.
2. The instruction given by the Queen is also important as failure to keep to it will have dire consequences.
3. The point where the Princes' foot touched the ground is another high point in the story. The readers will now be interested in knowing what happened eventually.

Which sentence in this passage correctly uses the semicolon? Jane was tired of living an unassuming life; in the suburbs. She yearned to expand her horizons and travel the length and breadth of the world. She was also very curious to learn; and have new experiences. Just last year, she spent four months learning a foreign language in the hope that a job opportunity abroad would open up to her. However; all her attempts were in vain. But, instead of getting dismayed, she put on her bravest face and continued working toward her goal. She had made up her mind; she was going to travel the world one way or another.
Answer:
She had made up her mind; she was going to travel the world one way or another.
Answer:
The sentence in this passage that correctly uses the semicolon is the following one: She had made up her mind; she was going to travel the world one way or another.
Explanation:
A semicolon is used to join in a single sentence two independent clauses that are closely related in thought. When a semicolon is used to join two ideas, these ideas are given equal position. In the sentence above, the second clause specifies the first one. The first one states that she had made up her mind and the second one specifies what this means: she made up her mind, she had decided to travel the world.

how are the speakers sense of goals different in beacuse i could not stop for death adn some keep the sabbath going to chucrch
Answer:
The speaker of "Because I Could Not Stop for Death" believes he has a goal to reach, while the speaker of "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church" believes he has achieved his goal.
Explanation:
"Because I couldn't stop for death" and "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church" are poems written by Emily Dickinson. Both poems reveal the poet's very intimate thoughts about life, death and religiosity. In “Because I could not stop for death” we can see that the speaker is participating in a ride in the carriage of death. This speaker, the speaker, is curious and I believe his goal is to find out what will happen when death reaches its final destination, as this is an uncertainty that he wants to end. In “Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church,” on the other hand, the speaker reflects on religious practices and how these practices allow people to be dominated by religiosity. The speaker's goal was to get rid of this domain and he believes he managed to achieve this goal, as he refuses to practice religious practices, such as dedicating the Sabbath to church. The speaker prefers to stay at home, having fun and doing what he wants.

B. An opinion is a Supreme Court decision that the majority of the judges agree with, while a dissent disagrees with the decision.
Explanation:
As we know, the Supreme Court is composed of nine justices. The decision most of the justices agree with is called an opinion. If one or more justices disagree with the opinion of the majority, we have a dissenting opinion or dissent. It is important to understand that they do not have to disagree with the opinion entirely, that is, they can disagree with only certain parts of the opinion.
