It has been an ongoing argument on whether or not student athletes should be paid. Some say they are being too spoiled already and need nothing else while others say they need extra financial support. There has been no real conclusion on the topic although many people have tried bringing it up to the NCAA.
In my opinion, college athletes should not be paid to play. This is because the presence of such players on a collegiate team implies that the team's principal purpose is to promote student participation.
What happens when student-athletes are paid?If a university begins to pay student-athletes, it may have an adverse impact on other sports programs. There would be insufficient cash to pay every single student-athlete fairly and to retain every single sport.
Smaller sports that do not earn enough income to keep the program afloat would almost certainly be eliminated.
Colleges should not pay their athletes in order to host entertaining games. Colleges will be wasting time and money, and "Cinderella teams" will be extinct, making sports less enjoyable to watch.
Other programs at the school that doesn't bring in much money will be eliminated if student-athletes are paid. Even the NCAA's larger institutions will be unable to pay every player and keep up economically with other sports programs, causing them to be cut off.
Finally, the team should be thought of as an extension of the institution. The team would be shifting away from the school's culture and closer to the dynamics of professional sports if they were paid.
The opposing side would undoubtedly argue that the number of attention athletes receives, the number of fans they have, and the amount of time and effort they put into their sport warrants them being paid as professionals.

I have an English assessment coming up and the question is: Explore how Brutus is presented in Act 2 Scene 1. Can anyone help me answer this question/prepare and tell me what quotes/evidence I should use?
Answer and Explanation:
At this part of the story, Brutus feels conflicted, as he loved Caesar as a friend, but his opinion changes once he receives fake letters from Cassius that make Caesar's appearance and motives seem otherwise.
Cassius, in the letters, tells Brutus that it is best for the public to kill Caesar, which makes Brutus believe that Caesar only wants power and wants to be a dictator. He makes him betray Caesar's trust, and join's Cassius' group to kill him.
Here are some quotes that can be used:
“Evil can come from good, just as poisonous snakes tend to come out into the open on bright sunny days—which means we have to walk carefully. If we crown him, I have to admit we’d be giving him the power to do damage.”
“And therefore we should liken him to a serpent’s egg—once it has hatched, it becomes dangerous, like all serpents. Thus we must kill him while he’s still in the shell.”
I hope this helps!

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking,
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And a quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.
—"Sea Fever,”

The rhyme scheme in "Sonnet 29" is abab, as expressed in the first answer choice, since "eyes" rhymes with "cries" and "state" with "fate," as explained below.
How to identify the rhyme scheme?First, we need to understand that a rhyme consists of words that have the same final sounds. For example, the words "table" and "label" rhyme with each other.
A rhyme scheme is the sequence of rhyming words in a poem. The last word of the first line is given the letter "a" as an identifier. Then, if the last word of the next line rhymes with it, it is also called "a". If it does not, it is called "b", and so on.
Now, let's take a look at the last words of each line in "Sonnet 29":
EyesStateCriesFateSince "eyes" rhymes with "cries", they are both "a". "State" rhymes with "fate," so they are both "b". That means the rhyme scheme of the poem is abab.
In conclusion, the correct answer is the first option, abab.
