Which sentence from the article best supports its author's assertion that Golding's novel was influenced by real-world events?
A. "The book forced readers to think about the dark sides of human nature that may tear civilization apart."
B. "It is worth reading, or re-reading, for its entertainment value alone."

D."The book was written shortly after World War II , which had taken millions of lives."
Answer: The sentence that best supports the author's assertion is option D.

It was written after World War 2, having numerous references that testify to the war. His wartime services and experiences certainly influenced him to write this thought-provoking piece, raising awareness of the more pressing conditions of human nature.

In Sarah, Plain and Tall, Sarah enjoys spending time with Papa, Anna, and Caleb, but she still misses her brother and everything she knew back in Maine.
How does Sarah’s response to this challenge develop a theme in the story?
Responses
A.Her willingness to battle her homesickness shows the importance of not giving up on new experiences.
B. Her need to talk only about home develops the theme that the past is more important than the present.
D. Her ability to forget her past develops the theme that anything is possible if one is
truly determined.
E. Her decision to hide her sadness from others shows the dangers of keeping painful feelings to oneself.
The best answer is A. Her willingness to battle her homesickness shows the importance of not giving up on new experiences.
This answer reflects the theme of the story, which is about overcoming challenges and finding happiness in a new place. Sarah does not give up on her new family, even though she misses her old life. She learns to appreciate the beauty and joy of living on the prairie with Papa, Anna, and Caleb.
The other options are either incorrect or not supported by the story.
B. Her need to talk only about home develops the theme that the past is more important than the present. This is incorrect because Sarah does not talk only about home. She also listens to Anna and Caleb’s stories and shares her own interests and talents with them.
C. Her ability to forget her past develops the theme that anything is possible if one is truly determined. This is incorrect because Sarah does not forget her past. She still remembers and loves her brother and her home in Maine. She also writes letters to them and keeps some of her belongings from there.
D. Her decision to hide her sadness from others shows the dangers of keeping painful feelings to oneself. This is not supported by the story because Sarah does not hide her sadness from others. She tells Papa that she misses the sea and that she is lonely sometimes. She also cries when she receives a letter from her brother.
Mullet fingers and Roy have very different approaches to save the owls. Whose approach do you think ultimately produces the most results? Explain.
Answer: Roy and Mullet Fingers are the same in their environmental activism in that they both have the same specific end goal. Both boys want to see that the owls are saved, and both boys are willing to stand in the face of strong opposition. Both boys also have the same solution to saving the owls. Their solution is to stop the construction project from happening rather than finding a new building site or moving the owls. The difference is in how they go about trying to stop the construction project in order to save the owls. Mullet Fingers's approach is to sabotage the actual construction project through various forms of vandalism. He takes huge risks doing this because he is breaking the law in order to fight the building of Mother Paula's Pancake House.
On the other hand, Roy is not so willing to break the law in order to fight against the construction to save the owls. Roy's activism is done through legal channels, and he spends a lot of time digging through public records. Roy hits a major breakthrough when he discovers that the environmental impact study report is missing. Roy then takes additional action by giving the information to a reporter, and that allows the media to elevate the story to a level that Roy and Mullet Fingers are not able to achieve by themselves.
Explanation: Not my answer. JONATHAN BEUTLICH'S ANSWER
Answer:
Roy and Mullet Fingers are alike in many ways. The boys are about the same age and size; Roy's shoes fit Mullet Fingers. They both appreciate nature. Both boys are clever, coming up with ingenious ways of reaching their goals. Mullet Fingers puts alligators in the portable latrines and uses snakes with taped-shut mouths to scare away the guard dogs. Roy creates an elaborate ruse to ensnare Dana Matherson in his own misdeeds. Neither boy, Roy or Mullet Fingers, gives up easily. Roy doesn't give in to Dana, and he persists in tracking down the running boy and in trying to save the owls. Mullet Fingers works persistently to pester Mother Paula's company with increasingly severe pranks. Both Roy and Mullet Fingers seem to have a high pain tolerance. Roy invites Dana to hit him, and the bully strikes him on the head three times while on the bus. He also endures some serious brawling in the janitor's closet. Mullet Fingers, despite his infected and wounded arm, runs to the construction site, arriving there before Beatrice and Roy on the bike. He also escapes from the hospital emergency room despite his fever and injury. Neither boy is a "bad kid"; they both stay primarily within the law and avoid causing physical harm to people while they try to interfere with the constant

Melissa's brother is playing in a basketball tournament at the local community center. Each family is expected to have someone helping in some way at the center. Her mom volunteers Melissa to help at the concession stand so her parents can watch her brother play. Melissa wants to go to a sleepover at her friend's house the night before but knows she will not get any sleep if she does and will therefore be cranky during the tournament. She tells her friend she cannot come to the sleepover and instead goes to the community center on Saturday morning to help at the concession stand. What type of motivation is Melissa showing?
(extrinsic motivation)
(intrinsic motivation)
(memory motivation)
(no motivation)
Answer:
Intristic motivation
Explanation:
Extristic motivation would be like being forced to do something. She could have easily gone to the sleepover and still been physically able to go to work on the concession stand and was not told not to go by, say, her mother, but she chose not to go anyways because of the fact that she didn't want to be "cranky" the next day.
No motivation was NOT shown because she did something she didn't want to do to make something that she was going to do in the future a lot less difficult.
Memory motivation, I'm assuming by the name is NOT the answer either because the textual evidence didn't show any proof that she had done this before when I read it.
So it must be intristic motivation, because she did something she didn't want to do to make something that she was going to do in the future a lot less difficult.

The Whispers
By: Cloudy Dreams (me)
There once was a house that sat on top of a hill
The house was made of brick and steel
There was a little boy that lived in the house
He cried and screamed the people thought he saw a mouse
The whispers he hears makes him run away
Deep into the woods into a lake
He’s parents searched and searched but they never found a trace just a torn piece of paper that flew away
The paper had words “whispers” on the back but no one knew what it ment
They heard a boy scream and the parents were shocked. The mother screamed “not my baby I am shocked, come for me instead and save him for last please take me eat everyone last!”
The whispers heard and came to the mother driving her crazy
It just jumps from one another the father is scared to the bone
He’s leg are shaking to another zone
A zone not made for people not even demons or angels
Maybe for a god the father was frightened even more and ran to the boy and he had a smell
He saw the boy then he looked away the whispers came back the father just laid unable to move
He yelled “Charlie Charlie run away get out the water it’s here to take”
Charlie was scared so he looked away
He’s father cried “Come here” but it was to late
Charlie shed a tear getting pulled under the lake
The father yelled and said “Charlie why didn’t you listen..”
Charlie is gone and so is the mother, the father is left alone should he form an alliance?
Do a deal with the devil?, trade a life for another?, or should he live alone?
Not soon after the whispers come back more hungry than ever
A bit more violent than that they searched for people who had a certain smell
The smell of lilac
And yes this is true the whole town died because of you
You were the whispers and always have been
You killed a town now you must pay the price
And turn yourself in
Or give your life for life
If you don’t...the whispers will come for you!
And end your life with a boo!

Read "Sonnet 29" by William Shakespeare. Then, answer the question that follows.
When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
How does the form of the sonnet impact the meaning of Shakespeare's poem?
Answer: The Last One
Explanation:
I think it fits the poem correctly and the right one at that. The last one does recap the poem, and it is right all you need is love to be happy. Thats why I think the last one to be correct.

Read this speech given by US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel on Veterans Day 2014. What is the purpose of the speech? Every year, we set aside Veterans Day to honor all the men and women who’ve served our country in uniform. We celebrate veterans from generations past. We welcome a new generation of veterans home from war. And we thank our future veterans, still serving at home and abroad. They are securing our nation through their engagement across the globe. Some are in West Africa, contributing to the global effort to stop the spread of Ebola. Some are in the Middle East, working closely with our coalition partners in the fight against ISIL. And some are in Afghanistan, where next month the United States will responsibly end the longest war in our history. For our troops serving around the world today, and those transitioning out of the military, our obligations are only beginning. Taking care of them, and their families, is a sacred responsibility we must always uphold. Let’s celebrate them by telling their stories. Let’s help those who need it, while supporting their strength and resilience. And let’s honor our veterans by creating new opportunities for them to contribute after their service, so they can continue making a difference in the world. To all our veterans—thank you. Thank you for everything you’ve done for our country. You’re among the best our nation has to offer. God bless you and your families, and happy Veterans Day. A. to express gratitude to US veterans B. to inform the country where veterans are stationed C. to persuade Americans to show their gratitude to veterans D. to support the families and friends of US veterans

4. Use factual details.
will give brainliest for the CORRECT answer
Answer:It is 3, Use repetitive details.
Explanation:
Hope This helps!
Answer:
I assume it is 1.
Explanation:
I may be wrong, but I think it is 1 because an engaging lead is where they want the beginning to catch the eye of the reader and using descriptive details is is using details with lots of description which catches the readers eye. Also process of elimination it can not be 2 because the information is usually in the body paragraphs it can not be 3 because you do not want to repeat details because it gets boring it can not be 4 because again most of the facts are in the body paragraphs.

How did Theseus make Hippolyta fall in love with him?
Answer:

Explanation:
Submit your three or four-paragraph open letter about a current issue in your school or community that expresses your position on the topic and provides two claims and four pleces of supporting evidence (key facts, examples, detalls). Make it clear who you are addressing in the letter and what you hope to accomplish.
Answer: this is gonna be a long one lol
Explanation:
There are lots of issues in our community and in our schools, but one problem that seems to be in both is the fight for equality. We all want to be heard and understood but for some, it might be harder than others. This isn't just for one specific group it is for many and all.
Everyday, when you look at your phone or even just outside at the people what do you notice? They all look different, maybe the same in some ways but different in most. But physical features are just the beginning because underneath we all are unique and special. Some people embrace their uniqueness, but a lot hide it away in fear of unacceptance. For example, the fight for equal rights in black citizens, even though they say that fight ended a long time ago we can't ignore the fact that they are still looked at differently. Why? Who knows, and no, not everyone is like this but that doesn't make it easier for them. Another example, over 28.9% of black citizens are living below the poverty threshold as opposed to 18% white americans. Isn't that crazy? This is evidence that supports the thought about black citizens not having equal rights.
I hope that this has opened your mind to this issue. I want equality for all and a place where no matter what your skin looks like, where you were raised and even what happened long long ago in the early stages of this nation, you can live happily and to the fullest. We as a community can do our part and make this community a free, accepting, and fair place for us all to live.
Here is an example of an open letter:
To the Principal and the School Board,
I am writing to express my concern about the recent decision to cancel the annual school trip due to budget cuts. I believe that this decision is unfair and detrimental to the students’ learning and well-being. I urge you to reconsider this decision and find alternative ways to fund the trip.
The school trip is a valuable opportunity for students to explore new places, learn new things, and bond with their classmates and teachers. It is also a reward for their hard work and achievements throughout the year. The trip helps students develop important skills such as curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and communication. It also exposes them to different cultures, perspectives, and experiences that enrich their knowledge and understanding of the world.
By canceling the trip, you are depriving the students of these benefits and sending a message that their education and happiness are not a priority. You are also breaking a tradition that has been cherished by many generations of students and teachers. The trip is something that the students look forward to and prepare for all year long. It is a source of motivation and excitement for them.
I understand that the school is facing financial challenges and that you have to make difficult decisions. However, I think that there are other ways to save money without sacrificing the quality of education and the well-being of the students. For example, you could reduce unnecessary expenses such as printing costs, office supplies, or catering services. You could also seek donations or sponsorships from local businesses or organizations that support education. You could also organize fundraising events or activities that involve the students, parents, and teachers.
I hope that you will take my letter into consideration and reconsider your decision to cancel the school trip. I believe that the trip is a worthwhile investment that will benefit the students in many ways. I also believe that the school community can work together to find solutions to overcome the financial challenges. Please do not let the budget cuts ruin this valuable opportunity for the students.
Sincerely,
A concerned student
