Original Quote:

Hundreds of thousands of sea otters once lived in the northern Pacific Ocean. But in the 1700s, people began hunting them for their thick fur.


Before people began hunting them for their thick fur, hundreds of thousands of sea otters lived in the northern Pacific Ocean.



is it a strong paraphrase or plagiarism?

Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson
CHAPTER RESPONSE ch. 36-40

Recall that a simile uses the words “as” or “like” to compare two things. Re-read the following similes.
A. “Two [burial pits] lay open and empty, sprinkled with snow like sugar on a cake” (p.235). What two things is Halse Anderson comparing in this simile? Do you think it is an effective comparison? Why or why not?

B. “I tried to bury the remembery, but it kept floating to the top of my mind like a cork in a stormy sea” (p. 243). What two things is Halse Anderson comparing in this simile? How does the simile strengthen this image? In other words, why didn’t the author just say, “I tried to bury the remembery”?

C. “My mouth gaped open like that of a fish breathing its last” (p. 251). How does this simile contribute to the mood of the passage?

The Tragic Theater of Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat"

Stephen Crane was a master of using strong language to evoke images. His unique use of imagery is seen in his life-based shipwreck tale called “The Open Boat.” This story of four men who try to row a dinghy to land after surviving a shipwreck is so full of vibrant images that the story comes off as a mini-play: the theater of the open boat. (He was a literary contemporary of Theodore Dreiser.)
Crane himself is aware of the theater of the open boat. Soon after establishing the setting, plot situation, and characters, Crane writes, “Viewed from a balcony, the whole thing would doubtlessly have been weirdly picturesque. But the men in the boat had no time to see it, and if they had had leisure there were other things to occupy their minds.” The captain even senses the theatrical aspect of the situation. Crane writes, “Then the captain, in the bow, chuckled in a way that expressed humor, contempt, tragedy, all in one. ‘Do you think we’ve got much of a show, now, boys?’ said he” (Chapter 2).
If “The Open Boat” is a play, then it no doubt is a tragedy, despite what the captain thinks. Crane opens this tragedy as follows: “NONE of them knew the color of the sky. Their eyes glanced level, and were fastened upon the waves that swept toward them. These waves were of the hue of slate, save for the tops, which were of foaming white, and all of the men knew the colors of the sea. The horizon narrowed and widened, and dipped and rose, and at all times its edge was jagged with waves that seemed thrust up in points like rocks.”
As if that’s not enough to set the stage, Crane adds one of his downright bizarre descriptions. “These waves were most wrongfully and barbarously abrupt and tall, and each froth-top was a problem in small boat navigation.” This shows the tragic situation.

(3) Ben was doubly excited for this trip because in addition to his birthday, it would also be his first trip to California. (4) Ben had been fascinated with the "Golden State" from the time he could read, and was excited to witness the natural beauty and landscape of Yosemite National Park. (5) He couldn't wait to finally see the national park he had heard and read so much about.

(11) Ben and Aaron's mom was going to be the driver for the road trip. (12) As soon as she entered the living room, she started rattling off instructions to her sons.

(15) She continued, "Just so we are clear, your dad and I will decide what music we will play during the journey. (16) You two always fight over music and that is not going to happen this time." (17) Having made herself clear, their mom disappeared into the kitchen.
(18) Aaron looked quite disappointed after their mom had declared they could not pick the music. (19) Ben patted Aaron kindly on the back and said, "You know how mom and dad are. (20) They try to be stern, but they are big softies. (21) Once we are on the road, they will allow us to do whatever we want." (22) These words seemed to lift Aaron's spirits and he replied with a smile, "You are probably right." (23) A few minutes later, their father stuck his head into the house saying, "The car is loaded and we are good to go." (24) "About time!" Ben exclaimed.

Book is Inside Out and Back again

What is the main idea of this text? Although Jackie Robinson was the first black baseball player in the Major League, most other black baseball players were resentful of his success. Satchel Paige was a talented black baseball pitcher who laid the groundwork for Major League baseball to include black players like Jackie Robinson. Satchel Paige was such a talented pitcher that his catchers had to cushion their gloves in order to handle his pitches. Branch Rickey chose to sign Jackie Robinson to his Major League baseball team rather than Satchel Paige because Jackie was a stronger player and a more likeable person.
