Transitions are very important when it come to essays, especially compare and contrast essays. If the transitions weren’t in the essay, then the essay would just be a bunch of un-organized words. For example, if I were to be in the middle of my essay and say ‘Cyberbullying is picking on someone continually through the internet. Bullying is continually picking on someone and calling them names in real life,” well that just doesn’t make sense. You can’t tell that I am trying to compare and contrast. I’m just stating facts. Now what if I said ‘cyberbullying is when you continually pick on someone through a screen, unlike bullying, which is the same thing, but without a screen.’ Do you see how much better it is?

Explanation:

"I think anyone should be able to express themselves however they would like. Body image, culture, and peer pressure are all big problems with expression. The thing is, we're all human. It honestly doesn't matter who we love, where we come from, or what we look like. In schools, a lot of girls are dress coded, simply for being themselves. Boys dont really have this problem. It really shouldn't matter what someone is wearing, because what matters is what is inside the person. If a boy wants to wear a skirt, let him. If a girl wants to wear pants, let her. We are not defined by how we look, and its stifling to be taught a certain way to dress at such a young age."

"Such is the prestige of the Nobel award and of this place where I stand that I am impelled, not to squeak like a grateful and apologetic mouse, but to roar like a lion out of pride in my profession and in the great and good men who have practiced it through the ages." This is an example of (metaphor / simile). Explain the meaning and why Steinbeck chose to use this device.

Answers

Answer:

1. Simile

2. Simile is a literary device that is used to make comparisons between two things using 'like', or 'as'.

3. Steinbeck chose to use this device because he wanted to make analogies or comparisons between some animal and human behaviors.

Explanation:

Simile is a way of comparing things directly using 'as' or 'like'. Metaphor makes indirect comparisons by saying that something is another.

Steinbeck used this device in order to compare and contrast certain aspects of the behavior of animals to human behaviors. For example, he contrasted the timidity of the mouse with the braveness of the lion. The squeaking of the muse reveals it's timidity while the roaring of the lion reveals its pride which is the same pride the speaker feels in his profession.

Read this excerpt from A Black Hole is NOT a Hole.

If the star was spinning before the collapse, then the black hole will spin, too. If the collapse is perfectly symmetric, a smooth black hole forms. On the other hand, even a slightly lopsided collapse leads to a lumpy black hole, with erratic gravitational effects. The gravity might be strong in some places and weak in others, and pull in different directions. However, a lumpy hole won’t stay lumpy for long, because its own gravity will work to smooth it out.

Which question does the paragraph answer?

How does light behave in a black hole?
When does a black hole get formed?
How do different types of black holes form?

The choice of three caskets to win the right to marry is key to both passages. How is this choice presented differently in Passage 2 (The Merchant of Venice)?


All three caskets contain valuable treasures.


The text reveals the thought process of the person choosing.


The person who is to be married is the one who presents the caskets.


It is clear that the person who is to be married wants the suitor to choose correctly.

Answers

Answer:

The text reveals the thought process of the person choosing.

Explanation:

this is what I think if I get it wrong at least I tried

The choice is presented differently in the text "revealing the thought process of the person choosing." Therefore, option (b) or (ii) is the correct answer.

What were the three criteria for selecting the casket?

Three caskets—one made of gold, one of silver, and one of lead—are displayed to potential partners as part of the test. The suitor wins Portia's hand if he selects the right casket.

The gold coffin represents avarice, as well as superficial, materialistic people who place more emphasis on appearance than on content.

The person who chooses the coffin containing Portia's image will be able to wed her.

If the wrong casket is selected, he must remain single, keep his choice a secret, and depart right away. The Prince of Morocco is the first potential suitor.

Therefore, option (b) is the correct answer.
