Answers
Answer:
In ‘The Monkey’s Paw’ the author W.W.Jacobs begins the story by setting the scene and the atmosphere by describing the area in which the White’s live. Jacobs describes the night as cold and wet, while inside the house the blinds are drawn and the fire is burning brightly. This is a good contrast, as the house seems to have a warm and safe atmosphere inside, even though the cottage is situated in a remote area of the country, with extremely unpleasant and harsh weather. Before the Sergeant-Major arrives, the atmosphere of the house seems quite tense and dull. Jacobs shows how tense Mr. White is when he writes “Bawled Mr. White, with sudden and unlooked-for violence”. You can easily see that Mr. White doesn’t seem to be concentrating on his game of chess. As ‘The Monkey’s Paw’ was written over a century ago, Jacobs doesn’t use explicit gory details to create horror like modern scary films and books. Instead, he uses subtle hints in most aspects of the story to build up an element of terror and one of these aspects is the way that Jacobs uses setting. The setting of part I begins with a cliché common to most gothic horror stories. “The night was cold and wet but in the small parlour of a Laburnum villa…” The wet and cold atmosphere has an unpleasant effect on the reader as it makes them immediately feel uneasy about the situation. Cold and wet as a combination are both largely used clichés to set the scene of a story, similar to ‘To Build a Fire’, by Jack London, which did however have a more intense description of the setting which was successfully suspenseful and eerie. The pathetic fallacy at the very beginning conveys the idea that the story will contain dark or evil connotations. The use of the word, ‘but’ has been purposely selected to show there is more to the situation, implying that it is liable to a twist. The first paragraph has a great ambience of normality across it; this had been done to allow the reader to empathize with the characters, as it has been set in a fairly common area. However, by setting it in a commonplace, such as a home – Jacobs is defying the orthodox Gothic Horror genre setting. Most stories or novels which follow the rules of this genre are set in deserted places or a more enchanted/fictional region.
In addition, the transition between each part of the story shows large changes in mood. After Herbert retires for the night, the second part begins, which has a very customary, “prosaic” mood to it. The contrast of mood between the start of part II and the end of part I is very large and keeps the reader alert. The huge amount of tension built when Herbert gazes into the fire is dropped instantaneously, keeping the interest of the reader. The following day, the mood is very calm and relaxed, the reader may feel as if the mood were too normal, and become suspicious, waiting for some action to occur. Following the Gothic Horror genre, there is a cliché that sunlight has a large impact on the mood of a story, as everything seems more controlled and calm during the day.
Answer:
The author is able to create tension and suspense through many ways in “The Monkey's Paw”. In the opening sentence of the story, we are given a quick description of the surrounding area. In gothic stories, they are usually set in a remote and isolated area, as in “The Monkey's Paw” the main setting is in a remote village where there were only two houses around. “Without, the night was cold and wet,” sets the scene of the story. A gloomy background has been given to set the surrounding area. The weather is similar to the feelings of the main characters.This is a good contrast, as the house seems to have a warm and safe atmosphere inside, even though the cottage is situated in a remote area of the country, with extremely unpleasant and harsh weather. The setting of part I begins with a common to most gothic horror stories. “The night was cold and wet but in the small parlor of a Laburnum villa…” The wet and cold atmosphere has an unpleasant effect on the reader as it makes them immediately feel uneasy about the situation. The use of the word, ‘but’ is used purposely to show there is more to the situation, implying that there might be a twist. The first paragraph has a great mood of routine across it, and this has been done to allow the reader to empathize with the characters, as it has been set in a fairly common area.
In addition, the transition between each part of the story shows large changes in mood. After Herbert retires for the night, the second part begins, which has a very usual, “dull” mood to it. The contrast of mood between the start of part II and the end of part I is very large and keeps the reader alert. The huge amount of tension built when Herbert gazes into the fire is dropped instantly, keeping the interest of the reader. The following day, the mood is very calm and relaxed, the reader may feel as if the mood were too normal, and become suspicious, waiting for some action to occur. Following the Gothic Horror genre, it is common that sunlight has a large impact on the mood of a story, as everything seems more controlled and calm during the day.

Write a story that includes the words, ... nothing could have prepared him for what he saw ....
Answers
Nothing could have prepared him for what he saw… he was just a child when he saw it. The murdering of his own mother by the hands on his own father. He screamed and whined but to no avail, he begged and even tried to interfere but his fathers brut strength was more powerful than that of his six year old son. His father pushed his own son to the ground, making an impact so great that the boy broke his nose, deforming it. And, after a while the boy lost consciousness. His father murdered his mother with his bare hands, nothing was the same anymore. He had no more motherly compassion or tenderness. His mother was his best friend, no one could replace her. Now, he had no guidance, no hope, no future; all was gone for his father too was in prison also.
As a boy he was secluded from all others and chewed on his nails very frequently. He never said to anyone his troubles but even voices tormented him, so he secluded himself from everyone. The voices would tell him how worthless he was as a human being and also commanded him to kill. However, the boy never listened to the voices, though his self esteem was squashed and thrown to the dirt. He cried sometimes during the nights hoping to commit a vile act against himself, “Perhaps I’ll cut my veins” he said. He was lost and had no purpose to live.
When he grew, he built a log cabin inside the woods near a trail that was filled with thorn bushes. His clothes were teared apart and eaten by flies. Even cobwebs found their way between the fingers of his hands. He was so very depressed. Until, one day a woman came walking down the trail. She was a magnificent beauty, when she was near the log cabin the boy who was now a grown man heard her footsteps, opened the door swiftly, got out and behind the thorn bushes peaked to see who the brave wanderer was. When he saw it was a beautiful woman he was thrilled, but realized soon enough she would leave. So all his fantasies and illusions were broken immediately. However, the woman carried a map.
She was headed towards an old lake, for it was said that the old lake brought a husband and she was desperate for no one took a liking to her due to her maturity and wisdom. So, out of the shadows came out the grown man who was spying on this gorgeous damsel and offered his services. The lady thought not twice and accepted. He showed her the lake and she submerged in it. When she came out she realized the man who helped her was handsome beyond compare.
Extra: (And, when he took her back to the place they originally met, she asked: “Would you like me to stay?” He nodded yes. So, she stayed with him and each other delighted in each other’s company.)

Read "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" and answer the question.
[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.

It is likewise most lamentable to think, how in taking Negros out of Africa, and selling of them here, That which GOD has joined together men do boldly rend asunder [Matt. 19:6]; Men from their Country, Husbands from their Wives, Parents from their Children.

Methinks, when we are bemoaning the barbarous Usage of our Friends and kinsfolk in Africa: it might not be unseasonable to enquire whether we are not culpable in forcing the Africans to become Slaves amongst our selves.

In the excerpt above, written by Samuel Sewall, he appeals to Christians by quoting directly from the Bible.

Answer: Be committed, do not be afraid to ask questions, track your grade, stand up for yourself, do not let your peers change you.
Explanation: The assignments are going to get hard, so you must stay committed and put in the effort. If you fall behind, it will be very difficult to get back up. Do not make a habit out of procrastination. If you don't understand something, do not be afraid to ask questions, if a good GPA is what your aim is, then it's important to get an understanding. Stay current with your grades, it's important to know your standings, so that you know what you mastered, and what still needs more practice. Always stand up for yourself, do not allow yourself to get picked on. If people see you to be weak, and an easy prey, they will challenge and clown you in order to boost their clout. And most importantly, do not allow your peers to change you. stay away from drugs, they're addictive, and they ruin your body. If your goal is to get good grades, then make sure your managing your time wisely. Your friends might want to talk during class, but it's important that you listen, they will want to hangout, but make sure you've mastered or have at least a decent understanding of all your class lessons before proceeding into leisure. Now remember, this is only if your goal is to be a good student. I on the other hand don't follow any of these rules except the "don't do drugs".

El inglés se originó a principios de la Edad Media como el idioma de algunas de las tribus germánicas que invadieron Gran Bretaña. Se convirtió en nativo de la mayoría de la población británica y, con el crecimiento territorial del Imperio Británico, se extendió a Asia, África, América del Norte y Australia. Después de que las colonias británicas obtuvieron la independencia, el inglés siguió siendo el idioma nativo de la mayoría de la población (EE. UU., Canadá, Australia, Nueva Zelanda) o uno de los idiomas oficiales (India, Nigeria). El inglés se enseña en instituciones educativas de muchos países como lengua extranjera.

When a pronoun does not agree in number or person with an antecedent that appears earlier in the sentence, what kind of error occurs?
a pronoun case error

a reciprocal pronoun error
a vague pronoun error
Answers
Answer:
The kind of error that occurs is:
B. a pronoun shift error.
Explanation:
Take a look at the following sentence:
"One could have done better if we had studied harder."
See how the sentence begins by using "one" and then suddenly shifts to "we"? This is an example of a pronoun shift error. The pronoun "we" does not agree with "one".
Let's analyze another example:
"Someone is knocking; and they seem to be in a hurry."
Although that is a common structure in colloquial speech, it is incorrect. "Someone" is a third-person singular word, so the pronouns that refer to it should be "he" or "she". "They" is a third-person plural pronoun. Therefore, this example too shows a pronoun shift error.

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,
