Explanation:
This question refers to the poem written by Lawrence Raab.
The final question says: What are they doing, writing all this again?
This question is rhetorical, the speaker asks in exasperation why he continues to write poems for his beloved? If he has already made it clear that they have separated.
The problem the speaker has is that he misses someone he loves very much, hence his frustration. And instead of letting her go, he continues to write poems.

In her spoken word, what is Ms. Gorman's statement about democracy?
1. Read the following paragraph from "Resistance to Civil Government" by Henry David Thoreau: This American government, —what is it but a tradition, though a recent one, endeavoring to transmit itself unimpaired to posterity, but each instant losing some of its integrity? It has not the vitality and force of a single living man; for a single man can bend it to his will. It is a sort of wooden gun to the people themselves. But it is not the less necessary for this; for the people must have some complicated machinery or other, and hear its din, to satisfy that idea of government which they have. Governments show thus how successfully men can be imposed upon, even impose on themselves, for their own advantage. It is excellent, we must all allow. Yet this government never of itself furthered any enterprise, but by the alacrity with which it got out of its way. It does not keep the country free. It does not settle the West. It does not educate. The character inherent in the American people has done all that has been accomplished; and it would have done somewhat more, if the government had not sometimes got in its way. For government is an expedient, by which men would fain succeed in letting one another alone; and, as has been said, when it is most expedient, the governed are most let alone by it. Analyze the rhetorical style of this paragraph. How does the style contribute to the essay's power? In particular, consider its parallelism and figurative language in formulating your response. Be sure to include specific details from the text to support your answer. (10 points)
The rhetorical style presented in the text reinforces the feeling of revolt against the government, which strengthens the argument presented.
Why did Thoreau use this rhetorical style?Thoreau wished to stimulate a feeling against the government.He made strong use of pathos in showing how flawed and irresponsible the government was.This rhetorical style influences the public to revolt and not support a government that does not work properly.In this case, we can say that Thoreau wrote a text to influence readers through pathos.

"I think it is Montaigne who has said that ignorance is the softest pillow on which a man can rest his head," he wrote to Edmund Randolph. "I am sure it is true as to everything political, and shall endeavor to estrange myself to everything of that character." Since that time there have been in American politics many instances of politicians who left for a hunting party, or retired to their farms in order to avoid responsibility.

"You found the money in my boots?" he asked Mom.

"The Medicine Bag" is a short story by author Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve in which the theme concerns heritage and culture.
Every option given contains something that was said by someone. However, in options A through C, we do not have it in the form of a dialogue. Those options are reporting what was said. Notice that none of them uses quotation marks. Option D, on the other hand, is written in the form of a dialogue. It has quotation marks to separate the narrator's words from the character's words. For that reason, letter D is the best option.

I have to write a speech about my biggest pet peeve and I’m not sure how to begin with a hook. If you could help I’d appreciate it!
Answer:
I always like to begin that kind of a speech with some way to relate to the listeners. For example, if you're writing about how much it annoys you when your sister leaves her clothes on the floor, you might begin by asking "How many of you have siblings?" and then continue to add on to that. It makes your audience feel more like you're talking to them, and not so much at them.

Read this excerpt from The Miracle Worker.
ANAGNOS: . . . It will no doubt be difficult for you there, Annie. But it has been difficult for you at our school too, hm? Gratifying, yes, when you came to us and could not spell your name, to accomplish so much here in a few years, but always an Irish battle. For independence.
(He studies ANNIE, humorously; she does not open her eyes.)
This is my last time to counsel you, Annie, and you do lack some – by some I mean all – what, tact or talent to bend. To others. And what had saved you on more than one occasion here at Perkins is that there was nowhere to expel you to. Your eyes hurt?
ANNIE: My ears, Mr. Anagnos.
(And now she has opened her eyes; they are inflamed. Vague, slightly crossed, clouded by the granular growth of trachoma, and she often keeps them closed to shut out the pain of light.)
ANAGNOS [SEVERELY]: Nowhere but back to Tewksbury, where children learn to be saucy. Annie, I know how dreadful it was there, but that battle is dead and done with, why not let it stay buried?
Which of these statements provides the best summary of the scene?
Anagnos notices that Annie’s eyes are closed, and he discusses her life in Tewksbury and her time at Perkins.
Anagnos praises Annie’s work at Perkins and mentions her previous time in Tewksbury, a town on the Ipswich River.
Anagnos is cruel as he expresses doubts about Annie’s ability to leave Perkins and begin teaching.
Anagnos describes Annie’s progress at Perkins and her strong will, and he expresses concerns about her attitude.
Anagnos praises Annie’s work at Perkins and mentions her previous time in Tewksbury, a town on the Ipswich River.

Why do people care about what happens long ago?
Usually if they are trying to embarrass you or if they are trying to come-back with a joke.
Answer:
Everything we do, from politics to education to work decisions to family decisions, is based on the past. The culture that has no memory of the past has functional amnesia and is going to do a lot of not so good things. In fact we currently do have functional amnesia because only half of history is being taught, that half which serves the interests of certain political parties, and the other half is being suppressed because it would actually give people a balanced view of things, make them less likely to hate a whole group of people, make them more understanding of the nuances of people’s points of view. History is probably the most important subject apart from reading that is taught in the school system and it has been corrupted. In truth, real history is fascinating and full of unbelievable and spectacular facts. Understanding history also helps us to understand ourselves, other people, how things work in the world and this leads to a better prospect for us in life.

Read the sentence.
Cats make terrible pets because they are lazy.
How can the sentence be revised to avoid faulty reasoning?
A Cats are no fun because they are not active.
B No one wants a pet cat because they are asleep all day.
C Cats may not be ideal pets for energetic families because they are not active.
D Few people choose cats as pets because they do not do anything entertaining.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
All the other answers assume that no one wants a cat because they are lazy. C just says that they are not ideal for energetic people. Some people, like maybe an elderly couple, might not mind having a lazy cat that lays around on the couch all day. So, you can't say that no one likes a lazy cat just because one type of person does not.

Your Brother Who is in 3rd year in another school as writing to confied in you that who he is about to stop schooling and into business.
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
your brother who is in the third year in another school has written to confide you that he is about to stop schooling and go into business. Write a letter to him advising him against his decision not less than 450 words
Answer and Explanation:
Dear brother.
I recently received bnotivia about your plans to enter the business area and I must confess that I was happy with your initiative in already knowing what you want to do for the future and I must admit that you have chosen a very promising area.
However, I am concerned about your intention to drop out of school for this. I believe that you are still very young and have a lot to learn and you should not waste this opportunity.
The school will be very profitable for your business future, so I advise you to finish high school to enter the business as you wish. High school will open up opportunities that you will not have without it, especially if the business sector does not give you hope.
However, you already know that you can count on me regardless of your decision and I hope you make the most of it.
love,
sis.

What settlement was also founded by religious reformers, but NOT as a break from the Church of England?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.
The settlement that was also founded by religious reformers, but NOT as a break from the Church of England, was the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630.
We are talking about the Puritans, who were reformers too, but in a notorious difference to the Pilgrims, Puritans were not separatists, they did not separate from the Church of England. They preferred to reform the church from the inside.
So when Puritans founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony, they followed their religious teachings and methods without splitting from the Church of England.

Write a sensory response (five senses) to “Anticipation” for example anticipation feels like... looks like... smells like... sounds like... tastes like
Answer:
Anticipation feels like that patient ticking of a clock. It sounds of a train passing by your stop. It looks like a million pictures all shaped together into a human-like creature. It smells like a classic movie scene about Nana's Homemade Pie. It tastes like the plastic of your pen as you chew on it, waiting for class to be over.
It is truly something. Not defined, yet everywhere. Not meaningless, yet treated as if it has not a statement to please. Its weird, anticipation. It feels like the word itself is a world of its own. Yet, it is simply a letter in a alphabet of manmade print made to simply communicate with one another.

After meteorologists from every major news outlet issued warnings for severe thunderstorms and flash flooding, the mayor reluctantly made the decision to postpone the highly anticipated all city marathon until later.
Explanation:
It is against the "rules" of the English language to begin a sentence with a preposition, an adverb or conjunction.
The correct sentence should be; Meterologists from every news outlet issued warnings for T. storms and flooding. The mayor made the decision to postpone the city marathon.
The above sentences are considered to be run- on sentences. In order to get straight to the point without boring the reader, 2 statements are required.
Answer: "until later" is the phrase that can be removed
Explanation: "Until later" is redundant when the word "postpone" was already used in the sentence
