Written questions:
Number 5: Stanzas 12-13 contribute to the theme of the poem by showing how Casey's pride gets the best of him and he ends up striking out.
Discussion questions:
1. Casey's pride causes him to strike out because he thinks he is going to hit no matter what.
2. Casey attained this power by working hard and being good at baseball. We elevate athletes because we admire their ability and talent in the sport they play just like Casey's fans admire him when the text says, "...It pounded on the mountain and recoiled upon the flat, For Casey, mighty casey, was advancing to the bat."
3. Casey does not utilize this power wisely. His power and fame are corrupt because he is so arrogant to the point where he thinks he controls his fans.

“We agreed to do as she had said, and feasted through the livelong
day to the going down of the sun, but when the sun had set and it

cables of the ship. Then Circe took me by the hand and bade me be
seated away from the others, while she reclined by my side and asked
me all about our adventures.
“‘So far so good,’ said she, when I had ended my story, ‘and now
pay attention to what I am about to tell you—heaven itself, indeed, will
recall it to your recollection. First you will come to the Sirens who
enchant all who come near them. If any one unwarily draws in too
close and hears the singing of the Sirens, his wife and children will
never welcome him home again, for they sit in a green field and warble
him to death with the sweetness of their song. . . . Therefore pass
these Sirens by, and stop your men’s ears with wax that none of them
may hear; but if you like you can listen yourself, for you may get the
men to bind you as you stand upright on a cross piece half way up the
mast, and they must lash the rope’s ends to the mast itself, that you
may have the pleasure of listening. If you beg and pray the men to
unloose you, then they must bind you faster. . . .

STORIES OF USEFUL INVENTIONS, excerpt
By S. E. Forman
1911
THE MATCH
There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.
Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.
In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.
What is the main idea of this text?
Firebrands were hard to keep lit.
Nature provided fire to early humans.
The history of the match is interesting.

What is the most likely purpose an author would have in writing a book titled It’s Our World, Too!: Young People Who Are Making a Difference?
Answer:
The correct answer is to inform readers about the ways young people improve the world.
Explanation:
By titling the book "It's Our World, Too!: Young People Who Are Making a Difference", the author clearly wants to point out the stories and accomplishments of young people who changed the world in one way or another.

Explanation:
is hope a blessing or a curse. explain why you picked that answer.
Answer:
Hope is very interesting because it is crucial to our lives. We require hope to survive cancer, to cope with profound loss and to believe we will find a job when we are unemployed. Hope is crucial to enduring hardships in life.
Explanation:
Answer :
Hope is an expectation, something you want so if you were to want something bad or hope for something bad then what you hoped for was bad and if you hoped for something good then what you hoped for was good it's pretty much your choice whether you hoped for something good or bad to say it's a blessing of a curse would be an understatement bc it could potentially be both
If is is school work my guy why are they giving so stupid questions blessing means protection from God and a curse is a supernatural inflict of harm soooo i hope this helped brainliest would be appreciated tho ; )

Mother announced that the plain cream cheese was not to be eaten until we were crossing the plains in Kansas.
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read the following sentence and determine if the words in bold are homographs or homophones. Then, choose the answer that correctly identifies which type it is and correctly defines what homograph or homophone means.
Mother announced that the plain cream cheese was not to be eaten until we were crossing the plains in Kansas.
A. Homograph; the two words are pronounced the same but have different meanings and sometimes different spellings.
B. Homophone; the two words are written the same but have different meanings and sometimes different pronunciations.
C. Homophone; the two words are pronounced the same but have different meanings and sometimes different spellings.
D. Homograph; the two words are written the same but have different meanings and sometimes different pronunciations.
Answer:
C. Homophone; the two words are pronounced the same but have different meanings and sometimes different spellings.
Explanation:
The words "plain" and "plains" are examples of homophones. This means that these words have the same pronunciation, but have totally different meanings, within a sentence. Often, homophone words have the same spelling, or slightly different spellings as is the case for "plain" and "plains", but the real way to identify this type of word is through the same pronoun, but with a different meaning.
Homograph, on the other hand, are words that are written in the same way, but have different meanings.
HURRY PLEASE-Read the excerpt from “In the Victory Garden.” PEARL: Well? What are you doing here when there’s fighting to be done? Won’t they let a German boy into the army, Heinrich? That is your name isn’t? Heinrich? What does this dialogue reveal about Pearl? She does not like to see young men in the army. She does not trust Henry because he is German. She is patient and welcoming to strangers. She hopes to be friends with Henry.
Answer:
I should be: she does not trust Henry because he is German.
Explanation:
A does not make since because she asks him what he is doing there when there is fighting to be done showing that she clearly does not mind him being in the army.
C Does not make since because she shows 0 patience.
And D does not make since because she does not show any interest in being friends with him
The thing that's revealed from the dialogue about Pearl is that B. She does not trust Henry because he is German.
In this case, it should be noted that Pearl doesn't trust Henry. Pearl believes that he's German, that was the reason why he was asking him his name was Heinrich.It wasn't because Pearl doesn't like young people in the army or because he wanted to be friends with him but rather because he didn't trust him.This simply implies that Pearl does not trust Henry because he is German.

after reading "from deep survival" by Laurence Gonzalez, write an argument about what it takes to survive a life-threatening event.be sure to cite evidence from Gonzales's ideas to support your claim.
what is the prompt asking you to write about?
do you agree with Gonzales's central idea idea-his most important message about survival?.
Answer:1. Humans notice patterns in the world, simulate potential consequences, and make predictions about what will happen next - constantly and automatically.
The human mind is essentially a prediction machine. Every moment of every day, your brain is collecting information about the world around you. Your mind’s Pattern Matching capability isolates the important parts, and your capacity for Mental Simulation helps you figure out what to expect.
Our pattern matching and mental simulation capabilities evolved to keep us alive. The better we’re able to predict what’s next, the better we’re able to stay safe and take advantage of opportunities.
2. When our mental models don’t accurately reflect reality, we can suddenly find ourselves in big trouble.
Your mind’s ability to predict what happens next is limited: it’s only as good as the accuracy of the information you have and the patterns stored in your memory. If a fact is wrong, or a pattern is not quite accurate, you can find yourself in dire straights very quickly.
In business, even markets that have been solid for decades can experience sudden and extreme difficulties. Publishing was a stable and profitable business for hundreds of years - until it wasn’t. Housing prices always went up - until they didn’t.
3. You must train yourself to see what’s really happening and changing around you without freezing or denying the truth of the situation.
When the Environment around you changes, your mental models must change along with it. Failing to update your patterns and predictions can lead you to make disastrous decisions.
Unfortunately, Threat Lockdown makes us prone to freeze when we face the unexpected. Gonzales calls the situations that trigger threat lockdown the “Four Poisons of the Mind": Fear, Confusion, Hesitation, Surprise.
4. Always have a backup / failsafe /contingency plan.
Since we’re not omniscient, unexpected situations will always arise - some very good, some very bad. You never know when or where something bad will affect you, so it pays to be as prepared as possible in advance.
Fail-Safes and backup plans are invaluable. Having resources in reserve or a retreat/regroup option at the ready helps cover you in the event of disaster.
Here’s the catch - your fail-safes and backups have to be prepared in advance. If your computer hard drive crashes, it’s too late to look into backups. A little planning and preparation now can save you a world of hurt later.
5. Sunk costs can kill you - know when to walk away.
Sometimes, it’s not worth pushing a project to completion. If you’re a day’s climb from summiting Everest and a killer storm blows in, you’re better off descending… and living to climb another day.
It’s important to realize how difficult these decisions can be in the moment - and be emotionally prepared to make them. Sunk Costs kill because we’re emotionally invested in the result we’re seeking, so we throw caution to the wind and push forward. That’s a recipe for disaster.
Define your success criteria in advance, and if something critical changes, be prepared to walk away.

Frank Lloyd Wright set out to create an "architecture for democracy." There is much evidence
that we are still far from creating a satisfactory "architecture for democracy." Badly conceived
urban housing developments, repetitious groupings of high-rise buildings, have turned into
vertical slums as bad as the ancient row houses, tenements, and low-rise apartments they
replaced. Ghettos are still a part of all major cities. An airplane view shows almost every city
to be largely surrounded by tracts of monotonous development. There are identical small
lots. There is a seemingly endless repetition punctured only by school and shopping centers.
The aerial view reveals the devastation of the landscape for commercial and industrial
purposes. There are other evidences of thoughtless disregard for the environment.
Answer:
Frank Lloyd Wright set out to create an "architecture for democracy." However, there is much evidence that we are still far from creating a satisfactory "architecture for democracy." To elaborate, Badly conceived urban housing developments, repetitious groupings of high-rise buildings, have turned into vertical slums as bad as the ancient row houses, tenements, and low-rise apartments they replaced. Even Ghettos are still a part of all major cities. In fact, an airplane view shows almost every city to be largely surrounded by tracts of monotonous development. Markedly, there are identical small lots and furthermore, seemingly endless repetition punctured only by school and shopping centers. Therefore, the aerial view reveals the devastation of the landscape for commercial and industrial purposes. Likewise, there are several other evidences of thoughtless disregard for the environment.
Explanation:
Transitional expressions are described as the words or phrases that primarily function as a bridge to ensure a smooth transition from one idea to another. It not only functions to bind the ideas together as a coherent whole but also promotes a better understanding for the readers. It helps in ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted flow of ideas that guides the readers and connect the ideas in a single thread without any break.
