Explanation:
A cry went up from the pack running after him when he fell. There was tension and hysteria in that concerted cry. And other things too, but he scarcely thought about it at all. Three women fell out of the race and clutched their sides and laughed; one of them fell on the sidewalk laughing like that, her belly puffing up huge with laughter, and subsiding again, letting it go.
5 He scrambled up to his feet, their cries in his ears, spurring him on; he must run, run until he dropped, going God knows where. He scrambled to his feet, his fingers clawing the asphalt, stumbled on, sounds filling his ears... shriek of a locomotive whistle...coming up, rising to a pitch, and going away...he turned the corner into the street that was at right angles to the one he had come down from the Slaughter House gates...he was running blind before, reacting to the compulsion of his fear...but now he saw his objective and it lent his effort purpose...a long line of freight cars was coming down from the railway yard along the lines that ran across the street, going towards No. 1 Pier.
The gates were lowered across the street stopping traffic; all he had to do was to get across the lines before that string of freight cars. They would cut off his pursuit for the time it would take that long train to cross the street. Trains always slowed down going into the dockyard; sometimes stopped, straddling the street. All he had to do was to get across.
The man operating the gate yelled at him. He paid no heed. He had balanced it in his mind to a nicety, figured he'd just have time to get across. He went under the gate. Voices shouted in his ears...the scream of the locomotive whistle rising to a crescendo...he paid no heed. The train was hurtling towards him, but he had time, he could make it.

Which phrase in passage 1 tell us the most about lonnie's character how he approaches new experiences?
The phrase in passage 1 that tells us the most about Lonnie's character and how he approaches new experiences is:
A. "When Celeste had emailed to ask him to meet her train, his first instinct had been to say no." (paragraph 1)
The fact that Lonnie is hesitant about meeting Celeste at the station reveals a lot about his character. The two were friends when they were kids, but have only kept in touch via email after growing up. Now that Celeste wants to see him again, Lonnie thinks of saying no.That shows Lonnie prefers to avoid new experiences. He most likely enjoys sticking to what he already knows well, to events and people that he can predict.Since he cannot predict what will happen when he finally meets Celeste after so long, Lonnie feels reluctant.With that in mind, we choose letter A as the best option.The answer choices for this question are the following:
A. "When Celeste had emailed to ask him to meet her train, his first instinct had been to say no." (paragraph 1)
B. "So here he was, waiting." (paragraph 1)
C. "Instead, he was waiting for someone he hadn't seen in years." (paragraph 1)

The Title: "Sports Figures and Celebrities as Role Models: Debunking the Myth"
Sports figures and celebrities frequently find themselves thrown into the spotlight in today's media-driven world, attracting a lot of love and admiration from their followers. They are consequently frequently regarded as role models by the general public, particularly by young people who look up to them.
The idea of using athletes and celebrities as positive role models is controversial, though, because it calls into question their real influence on society, their personal lives, and the values they actually uphold.
I am aware that athletes and celebrities have a big impact on the public, especially young people. Their accomplishments, rags-to-riches stories, and outstanding talent might motivate others to fervently pursue their aspirations. They can speak out on social concerns thanks to their platforms, and many of them take part in philanthropic endeavors to advance causes they care about.
I want to go further into the effects of using athletes and celebrities as role models that we idolize. Do they really deserve our admiration, or do their public personas only serve as a skillfully constructed façade? I'm interested in knowing how these notable personalities' activities and those of their followers are related to one another.
I will do extensive research to develop a well-rounded viewpoint. I will examine the careers and decisions of different athletes and celebrities, looking at their charitable work, moral conundrums, and public scandals. I'll also go over research from academic institutions and polls that measure the impact of famous people on their followers, especially young people.
I've learned from my research that it's not as simple as it sounds to think of celebrities and athletes as good role models. While some people make actual contributions to society, it's possible that others are merely portraying a carefully managed image in order to keep their public appeal.
In conclusion, there are many factors to consider when deciding which athletes and celebrities to perceive as good role models. While some of these people actually uphold good principles and significantly advance society, others may not merit the pedestal they are positioned upon.

In this informative essay, which two supporting details best support the author's main idea that memory is stored during
REM sleep?
Select the correct text in the passage.
A
REM sleep is the part of the sleep cycle in which dreaming occurs, memory is stored, and the brain and body are
revitalized. When REM sleep begins, Signals move to and from different regions of the brain. Some signals are sent
to the brain's cerebral cortex, which is responsible for learning, thinking, and organizing information. Signals are
also sent to the spinal cord to shut off movement, which produces a temporary paralysis in the arms and legs. This
paralysis creates an opportunity for true rest to take place in the body. The regions of the brain that are stimulated
during REM sleep are responsible for learning. When individuals lack REM sleep, they're more likely to forget
information that they've learned prior to going to sleep. A lack of REM sleep
also has been linked to health
conditions, including migraines and mood disorders.
Answer:
Some signals are sent to the brain’s cerebral cortex, which is responsible for learning, thinking, and organizing information.
When individuals lack REM sleep, they’re more likely to forget information that they’ve learned prior to going to sleep.
Answer:
1. Some signals are sent to the brain’s cerebral cortex, which is responsible for learning, thinking, and organizing information.
2. When individuals lack REM sleep, they’re more likely to forget information that they’ve learned prior to going to sleep
Explanation:
Writers use supporting details to further elaborate on their main ideas. In the paragraph, the author provides details such as the cerebral cortex’s role in analyzing information and that people tend to forget information if they don’t get enough REM sleep. These supporting details help to further the writer’s main idea that REM sleep is the time in the sleep cycle when memory is stored.

Please write me too well written paragraphs on why living at home is better then living in a apartment and what the benefits of living at home would be
Answer:
Houses have higher maintenance thus higher costs, in particularly if you own the property. If you are renting a house however, maintenance is generally covered by the landlord. Apartment life proposes ease of maintenance, allowing you to live closer to transport, work, and the inner city lifestyle.
One of the benefits of living in a house is that you get more space. Living in a house gives you more room than if you lived in a dorm or apartment. If you're a big family, living in a house may be for you. For big families, living in a house can grant each member some privacy.
Explanation:
Have anyone every heard od The man in the water??
Answer:
it's the old man and the sea
Explanation:
a story worth reading about:
The Old Man and the Sea is the story of an epic struggle between an old, seasoned fisherman and the greatest catch of his life. For eighty-four days, Santiago, an aged Cuban fisherman, has set out to sea and returned empty-handed. So conspicuously unlucky is he that the parents of his young, devoted apprentice and friend, Manolin, have forced the boy to leave the old man in order to fish in a more prosperous boat. Nevertheless, the boy continues to care for the old man upon his return each night. He helps the old man tote his gear to his ramshackle hut, secures food for him, and discusses the latest developments in American baseball, especially the trials of the old man’s hero, Joe DiMaggio. Santiago is confident that his unproductive streak will soon come to an end, and he resolves to sail out farther than usual the following day.
Trackerdslogo
On the eighty-fifth day of his unlucky streak, Santiago does as promised, sailing his skiff far beyond the island’s shallow coastal waters and venturing into the Gulf Stream. He prepares his lines and drops them. At noon, a big fish, which he knows is a marlin, takes the bait that Santiago has placed one hundred fathoms deep in the waters. The old man expertly hooks the fish, but he cannot pull it in. Instead, the fish begins to pull the boat.
Unable to tie the line fast to the boat for fear the fish would snap a taut line, the old man bears the strain of the line with his shoulders, back, and hands, ready to give slack should the marlin make a run. The fish pulls the boat all through the day, through the night, through another day, and through another night. It swims steadily northwest until at last it tires and swims east with the current. The entire time, Santiago endures constant pain from the fishing line. Whenever the fish lunges, leaps, or makes a dash for freedom, the cord cuts Santiago badly. Although wounded and weary, the old man feels a deep empathy and admiration for the marlin, his brother in suffering, strength, and resolve.
On the third day the fish tires, and Santiago, sleep-deprived, aching, and nearly delirious, manages to pull the marlin in close enough to kill it with a harpoon thrust. Dead beside the skiff, the marlin is the largest Santiago has ever seen. He lashes it to his boat, raises the small mast, and sets sail for home. While Santiago is excited by the price that the marlin will bring at market, he is more concerned that the people who will eat the fish are unworthy of its greatness.
As Santiago sails on with the fish, the marlin’s blood leaves a trail in the water and attracts sharks. The first to attack is a great mako shark, which Santiago manages to slay with the harpoon. In the struggle, the old man loses the harpoon and lengths of valuable rope, which leaves him vulnerable to other shark attacks. The old man fights off the successive vicious predators as best he can, stabbing at them with a crude spear he makes by lashing a knife to an oar, and even clubbing them with the boat’s tiller. Although he kills several sharks, more and more appear, and by the time night falls, Santiago’s continued fight against the scavengers is useless. They devour the marlin’s precious meat, leaving only skeleton, head, and tail. Santiago chastises himself for going “out too far,” and for sacrificing his great and worthy opponent. He arrives home before daybreak, stumbles back to his shack, and sleeps very deeply.
The next morning, a crowd of amazed fishermen gathers around the skeletal carcass of the fish, which is still lashed to the boat. Knowing nothing of the old man’s struggle, tourists at a nearby café observe the remains of the giant marlin and mistake it for a shark. Manolin, who has been worried sick over the old man’s absence, is moved to tears when he finds Santiago safe in his bed. The boy fetches the old man some coffee and the daily papers with the baseball scores, and watches him sleep. When the old man wakes, the two agree to fish as partners once more. The old man returns to sleep and dreams his usual dream of lions at play on the beaches of Africa.
People respond differently to satire—some like it, others don't get it. In at least 150 words, describe what you think of Goines's narrative essay. Discuss whether you think his position is convincing.
Answer:
"Let Sleeping Dogs Lie" is a narrative essay published in Goines's book, The Free Speech Movement. This essay describes Goines's personal strategy for avoiding the draft during the Vietnam war. He sent letters stating he is not a rabi or any religious figure, he is not currently enrolled in a four-year university, nor is he the sole proprietor for his family. All of which would be more of a reason to enlist. However, sure enough, they "lost" his mailing address and he no longer received any letters for the draft. The satire Goines uses is somewhat of comedic relief. The situation is very dark, and it is unfair that he managed to avoid the draft but others had no choice but to enlist, so it is understandable if someone would be disgruntled in this situation. Satire is normally used for comedic effect - to mock - and may not be put in the appropriate situation; however, as someone who uses humor to cope, it is understandable and humorous when satire is used.

Read the excerpt from Homecoming.
At half-past eight, Dicey herded everybody back into the mall, to use the bathrooms they had found earlier. Later, Sammy and Maybeth fell asleep easily, curled up along the back seat. James moved up to the front with Dicey. Dicey couldn't see how they were both to sleep in the front seat, but she supposed they would manage it. James sat stiffly, gripping the wheel. James had a narrow head and sharp features, a nose that pointed out, pencil-thin eyebrows, a narrow chin. Dicey studied him in the darkening car. They were parked so far from the nearest lamppost that they were in deep shadows.
With her brothers and sisters near, with the two youngest asleep in the back seat, sitting as they were in a cocoon of darkness, she should feel safe. But she didn't. Though it was standing still, the car seemed to be flying down a highway, going too fast. Even the dark inside of it was not deep enough to hide them. Faces might appear in the windows at any time, asking angry questions.

When Braling Two's mechanical heart beats, it makes a "tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick" sound. What other association does this sound hold for the reader? How is this an example of skillful foreshadowing by Bradbury? in marionette Inc story
The sound has an association with the noise of a running clock. This promotes the foreshadowing that the time for him to take Braling's place is approaching.
We can arrive at this answer because:
"Marionettes, Inc." is the short story where Braling decides to buy a robot, called Braling two, to replace him in his home and his family relationships so that he has time to pursue his personal dreams.Braling Two is a robot identical to Braling and upon taking his place, he begins to enjoy family life and to fall in love with Braling's wife.As time goes by, Braling two's presence is increasingly strengthened and he wants to assume that position forever and take Braling's place.The heartbeat and Braling Two have the same sound as a clock running and this reinforces the idea that time is passing for Braling Two to reach its goals.
