How to write two paragraphs using this picture as inspiration and describe using show not tell

The girl stared at the boy from across the classroom. Who was he? Why did he always act in such a manner? His mouth was always moulded into a frown yet he still had that same twinkle in his eyes. She couldnt help but wonder about his personal life. Did he have family? Was he always alone? Without thinking, she stood up and walked over to the boy. The teacher looked up from her paperwork, locking her eyebrows in a downwards direction. The teacher pointed her finger at the girl. ''Sit down, young lady,'' she said calmy, but still having that same, angry expression. The girl ignored her, whereas everyone else in the classroom turned their heads to the back of the classroom, and stared at the girl and the boy - the wonder kids.

The girl sat next to the boy, on the empty plastic chair beside him. He was always by himself at school - was people being kind to him? ''I will work with him, for the project, miss.'' said the girl quietly. The teacher nodded and then began looking back at the pile of filled test worksheets on her desk. ''Who are you?'' she said. Still, the boy stayed quiet. ''Tell me!'' she yelled, banging her hands down on the table. The young girl, being humble, wanted nothing more than never being the centre of attention - but now she was getting it. She went bright red with emmbaresment. ''Sorry...'' she mumbled. ''But please answer my question. Who are you?!'' The boy looked up. ''I'm you're brother',

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

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.

—"Sea Fever,”

John Masefield

A.meter

B.onomatopoeia

C.alliteration

2) Identify the mood that has been created by the way this stanza sounds.

A.wistful

B.joyful

C.angry

Answer:

The correct answers are:

1) C

2) A

Explanation:

Let's start by clarifying what alliteration is.

It is a literary device that consists of repeating a variety of the same or similar sounds within a text, hence it is considered a figure of diction due to the effect it produces. Now, the consequent repetition of a sound must occur in the same phrase or word, in this case: windy.

On the other hand we must identify the mood of these lines, and we must say that it is wistful since the speaker is longing to return to the sea, he can even hear its call.

Which summary correctly describes the second half of Antigone?
1. Haemon and Creon get into an argument and have a huge falling out. Haemon decides to leave Thebes, along with his mother, Queen
Eurydice. Antigone tries to convince her fiancé, Haemon, to forgive his father by telling him that family is the most important thing. Haemon
follows Antigone's advice and reconciles with his father. Creon is touched and humbled by Antigone's graciousness and forgives her for
defying his order and burying Polyneices. The play ends with Antigone and Haemon happily married and ready to become the new king and
queen of Thebes.
2. Haemon tries to convince his father to think about his citizens and what they want and to realize his arrogance and folly. However, Creon
dismisses him and decrees that instead of sentencing Antigone to death, he will entomb her. Antigone puts up a brave face before being
entombed. The prophet Teiresias warns Creon of his folly, only to be rebuked. Later, when Creon goes to free Antigone, he finds out that she
has killed herself, and he witnesses Haemon stabbing himself. This news reaches Queen Eurydice, who also stabs herself in a fit of grief.
Creon returns to the palace childless and wifeless, finally realizes his hubris, and repents.
3. Haemon informs Creon that if Antigone has to die because of his unjust law, he will die with her. This announcement distresses Creon, but
he feels that Haemon is merely threatening him. He's shocked to find Haemon dead in his chambers the next morning. Haemon's death
greatly grieves Queen Eurydice, who soon after stabs herself in the heart. Creon is in deep anguish and realizes how blind he was. To honor
his wife and son's memory, he forgives Antigone. The play ends with Antigone becoming the first female ruler of Thebes. She looks after
Creon like she would have looked after her own father.
4. Haemon lends his father, Creon, his full support after Creon decides to sentence Haemon's fiancée, Antigone, to death. Ismene comes to
Haemon to beg for her sister's life, but Haemon dismisses her. Ismene decides that the only way to save her sister's life is for Haemon and
Antigone to elope. But Antigone refuses to be a coward and run away. She bravely faces the consequences of her actions. The Theban
citizens lament her terrible fate. Isméne cannot bear the thought of living without her sister, who is her last surviving family member, and
poisons herself. The play ends with both the sisters dead and Oedipus' bloodline entirely destroyed.

I'm writing my paper of Jeff Bazos and was wondering if someone could help me layout how to write this paper. Thank you

Answers

Answer:

The first thing to take into account is the fact that Jeff Bezos was indeed aided by the free enterprise system that we have in the United States.

He managed to reach the top with Amazon, because in this system, companies that are more competitive take advantage over the rest.

The essay should first explain how Jeff Bezos was helped by the free enterprise system, it later should give some specific examples taken from the experience of his companies (particularly Amazon), and finally, it should draw a conclusion about whether the free enterprise system is desirable or not.

        Humor

The sign says to keep off the grass, but there is only dirt in the lot

        Irony.

Explanation:

Exaggeration/Hyperbole: This is an obvious over-amplification of claims or events for added effect. It is usually not taken literally. This is used to pass across a message to show the severity or consequence of something.

An example is " I was so hungry, i could swallow a horse".

This does not mean that the person can literally swallow a horse but just to show the extent of the hunger.

Humor: Humor is the quality of being comical or amusing usually to elicit laughter.

The example above, "What must you do before you get off a bus> Get on it".

This uses humor to show that one must first be on a bus before he can think of getting off and the question is constructed in a funny way.

Irony: This is the expression of one's feelings through the use of words that signify the opposite of what is really meant, usually for emphasis.
