Read the excerpt from the story Be the Best you Can Be:
Danny's bellowing voice carried across the field. "No! you need to pass the ball! Stop cradling it and pass!"
Danny was the team captain of the lacrosse team. He was one of the best players in the league. He was good, but he could be malicious. That morning, my playing technique was taking the brunt of Danny's harsh criticism.
"You really need to learn to pass better, Finn. you're letting the team down!"
Practice ended, and as Danny strode swiftly back toward the changing rooms, I hung my head and looked down at the green grass of the field. At the start of practice, the lush, green grass had made me smile. I relished being outside and playing lacrosse with my teammates. Sure, many of them were better than me, but I enjoyed the game and being part of a team. I was always the one cheering the loudest for my friends when they threw the ball across the goal line. I wished Danny would cheer for us instead of shouting callous things. It was starting to ruin the game so much for me that I was thinking of quitting.
Select how the narrator's point of view influences the description of events.
A. The reader knows how both Danny and Finn feel about his yelling.
B. The reader knows how the whole team feels about Danny's yelling.
C. The reader only knows how Danny feels about his yelling.
D. The reader only knows how Finn feels about Danny's yelling.

Read the excerpt from the drama The Snow Monster:
Scene 1
A fire crackles inside a cozy cabin. Reuben and Bailey sit close by on a sofa, peacefully sipping hot chocolate from large mugs. Another young boy, Quinn, bursts through the door.
Quinn: (Huffing) You'll never believe what I've just seen!
Reuben and Bailey turn quickly in surprise. Bailey spills some of his hot chocolate down his shirt.
Bailey: Ouch! (Shaking his head, as he pats at the spilled liquid) Quinn, you really must stop doing that!
Quinn: (Puzzled as he pulls off his coat) Doing what?
Bailey: Rushing in here and shouting about your latest impossible sighting. Yesterday it was a penguin. The day before, it was a flying reindeer.
Quinn: Aw, c'mon! Anyone could mistake a crow for a penguin from a distance.
Reuben: Only someone as blind as a bat, or a boy who was pulling our legs and telling tales.
Quinn: I wasn't lying! This time is different, I swear! This time it's a real-life snow monster!
Bailey: (With a slight squeak) You saw a snow monster? Like a yeti?
Quinn: Yes! (Pauses) Well, I didn't see it exactly …
Bailey and Reuben groan.
Quinn: Okay, okay. I know I sometimes let my imagination run wild, but this time I have proof! On my way back from the sledding hill, I came across the strangest sight: giant footprints in the snow!
Reuben: (Sarcastically) Footprints? In the snow? It must be a monster! What else could have possibly made footprints in the snow? Oh, yeah–any animal in the area!
Based on Quinn's character traits, what might be a possible ending to this story that is different than the original ending?
A. They find a bear in a cave and run away from it.
B. They find monsters in a cave and run away from them.
C. They take a picture of a bear and become famous.
D. They take a picture of a yeti and become famous.

Explanation:
When King Midas sees his reflection in a golden bowl the author writes, "It seemed to be aware of his foolish behavior, and to have a naughty inclination to make fun of him." In what ways does this description foreshadow, or hint, at what will happen to King Midas?
Answer:
This foreshadows how Midas' desire for wealth will make him a foolish and inconsequential person.
Explanation:
We know how Midas' desire for gold will make him a fool and promote much suffering for him. This is foreshadowed in the passage shown above when gold reflects Midas's foolishness hidden in his ambition and desire for incalculable wealth. In short, gold reflects Midas as someone who has no intelligence, critical sense and humility, someone who will be completely humiliated by his greed.

Answer:
1. George roared like a lion. - simile
2. He was a bear of a man. - metaphor
3. The line grouping in which a poem may be written - stanza
4. He slept through the winter long and cold, All tightly up in his blanket rolled. - rhyme
5. The bong of a bell rang softly. - imitation of sounds
6. When a poem has a beat made by stressed syllables - rhythm
7. The flight of the bird stood for the freedom now felt. - symbolism
8. The walls screamed with loneliness. - personification
9. When a poem has a rhythmical pattern that is not completely regular - cadence
Explanation:
Simile and metaphor are figures of speech used for comparison. The difference between them is that a simile will rely on words such as "as" or "like", while a metaphor will not. Metaphors simply state "A is B", while similes state "A is like B."
A stanza, or verse, is a group of lines in a poem.
A rhyme is a repetition of sounds in the final words of different lines in a poem. In the case we are analyzing here, the words "cold" and "rolled" rhyme with each other.
Some words we use originate from the imitation of sounds produced by animals or objects. The word "bong" in the sentence imitates the sound a bell produces.
In a poem, rhythm is determined by a pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables. When such a pattern does not exist, we speak of cadence.
Symbolism uses something to represent something else, usually something simple or small to represent something bigger and more important. An example is a national flag, often associated with ideas of independence and freedom.
Finally, personification is a figure of speech in which human traits are attributed to inanimate objects. In the sentence, the author says the walls screamed, which is, realistically speaking, impossible. It is simply a way to emphasize the feeling of loneliness.

Answer:
Hey! I think it is option 3rd. Option 3rd states :-
"R and J, together with their brothers, are attending the game."
Now first let us define what is a subject and a verb. Subject is where someone is doing an action to the verb. A verb is the thing that is expressing the action done by the subject.
Now back to the sentence, we can see that the subject is "R and J" and the verb is "attending". If we read the sentence, it does not sounds right. The correct form would be Subject-Verb-Object. Take a look at this one :-
"R and J are attending the game together with their brothers."
Subject is underlined. Verb is in bold.
Now the sentence would be correct. So the answer to your question is the 3rd option. Hope this helps, thank :) !!

Please write of definition essay outline about love.
Answer:
Love is something that means very different things to different people. For some, love can be purely romantic, or even purely sexual. For others, real love is utterly unconditional and only truly exists between family members, or between people and a deity. And for some people, love is fluid, ever changing, and everywhere, and is felt for family, friends, partners, pets, and even inanimate objects, dead artists, and fictional characters. None of these people would be right or wrong, but one thing is certain: love is the most powerful force in the entire universe.
Love is a relationship of mutual understanding and respect. Marriages and partnerships are often built on common ground that people find when they first meet; this can be as deep as sharing religious, philosophical or religious beliefs, or as simple as finding that you love the same film, book, or band.
This kind of love is often reliant on some kind of ‘chemistry’: that strange feeling that they give you in the pit of your stomach, and the feeling that nothing in the world is more important to you than enjoying the moment you’re in together. Some people feel that they experience love at first sight, where they know from the minute they set eyes on each other that they want to to be with that person, but something built on common interests and understanding must be stronger.
A parent’s love for a child can also often be described as love at first sight, but this is very strong because it comes from a natural instinct to protect our offspring. This love can often start before the baby is even born: you only have to look at the pride and excitement of many parents-to-be when they have their scans and feel their baby kick for the very first time. This kind of love is also felt by a child for its mother; it is unconditional for at least the first few years of life, and can also be felt between siblings.
It is the strength of this feeling that makes love the most powerful emotion that most of us will ever experience. People can do some dreadful things out of hate and fear, but love can push us to do much, much worse. And it is often love that can cause us to hate, whether it’s out of jealousy, or anger because our loved one has been hurt. Love, ultimately, is a sacrifice, whatever the relationship, and it must be the most powerful force in the universe because as human beings, we make true sacrifices for nothing less.

What are one or two real-life examples of ""lean freedom"" and ""fat slavery""?
Answer:
An example of "lean freedom" "and" "fat slavery" occurs when a person abandons a job that was not well paid, but unhappy, to occupy a position with less remuneration but that makes that person happy.
Explanation:
"Lean freedom" and "fat slavery" reinforce the idea that a life suffered with freedom is more profitable than a life with abundance that limits and devalues individuals, even if freedom presents enormous difficulties and challenges, the abundance without it only causes unhappiness.

Stating "we need to be concerned about tuition increases" rather than "students needs to be concerned about tuition increases" demonstrates the use of __________________to link the speaker to members of the audience.
Answer:
Ethos
Explanation:
The speaker includes himself and members of the public for those primarily responsible for being concerned with the price of tuition charged to students. This represents the use of ethos, as a rhetorical resource that allows the speaker to present thoughts, positions and attitudes that place him on the same level as the audience, because they equate his character and identification with that of a collectivity.
