Flashbacks can be a useful way to begin a story or fill in needed context at any point. Choose a book that you have read that you believe makes good use of flashbacks or flash-forwards; briefly describe how the flash is used. (If you are not able to think of a book, you may choose a movie.) Why was the use of these flashbacks or flash-forwards so effective? How might the book have been different without them?
Answer:
In the Hunger Games, I believe there was some good use of flashbacks and flash-forwards. There was one flashback from when Katniss Everdeen has to visit the mines with her class. When she smells the coal dust and goes into the shaft she is reminded of its danger and how her father died. Lots of flashbacks from the time her father was alive occur. They show that he taught her almost everything he knows, how to survive. How to swim, look for food, ect. The Flash-forwards are usually when Katniss feels like she cannot go on in the games and feels that people can live without her. She imagines Peeta winning the games and going home to his family in these flash-forwards. The book wouldn't be so heartfelt and personal without these flash-forwards and backs. These flash-backs and forwards help explain why Katniss feels the need to push through the game and her struggles.
Explanation:
hope this helps
Answer and Explanation: the person above is right also I paraphrased it into my OWN words for this 1, In the Hunger Games, I feel there was a few decent utilization of flashbacks and glimmer advances. There was one flashback from when Katniss Everdeen needed to go to the mines along with her group. At the point when she smells the coal dust and goes into the shaft she is helped to remember its risk and the way her dad kicked the bucket. numerous flashbacks from the time her dad was alive happen. They show that he showed her nearly all that he knows, the method for getting by. a method for swimming, looking for food, ect. The Blaze advances are typically when Katniss seems like she can't persevere inside the games and feels that people can live without her. She envisions Peeta dominating the matches and returning home to his family in these glimmer advances. The book wouldn't be so ardent and private without these blaze advances and backs. These glimmer backs and advances assist with clarifying why Katniss feels the prerequisite to emerge from the game and her battles.

Answer Fast!!! Part A What inference can be made about Paul's role in the narrator's experience at Rock Island in "Raccoon Olympics"? Paul acts as a security guard, by cautioning the narrator of the dangers on the beach at the tip of the island. Paul acts as a protector for the narrator, by helping her to see what is appropriate for her. Paul acts as a tour guide, by showing the narrator and her family the island's lighthouse. Paul acts as an entertainer for the narrator by telling her stories about the island's history. Question 2 Part B Which evidence best supports the answer in Part A? "Paul doesn’t really say what the raccoons look like when they swim. But my swimming raccoons wear goggles and have special swim caps fitted over their ringed tails to decrease drag." "It will not occur to me until I am an adult to wonder if Paul convinced all the kids he could train wild raccoons to compete in swim meets, or if he just made up a kinder explanation for me." "'So, to test their
Answer:
1. Paul acts as a protector for the narrator, by helping her to see what is appropriate for her.
2. "It will not occur to me until I am an adult to wonder if Paul convinced all the kids he could train wild raccoons to compete in swim meets, or if he just made up a kinder explanation for me."
Explanation:
"Raccoon Olympics" is a short story where the narrator, who is a child, tells about the day she went with her father to a park where there were many raccoons and Paul, the park biologist is capturing the raccoons because they didn’t have natural predators in that region and were becoming a plague. The narrator asks what was done with the captured raccoons and Paul says that they are taken to a raccoon swimming Olympics. However, as readers we know that this does not happen and raccoons are captured to be executed, but Paul knows that this is not appropriate information for a child to hear and prefers to make up a fun story about what happens to them.
Answer:
1. Paul acts as a protector for the narrator, by helping her to see what is appropriate for her.
2. "It will not occur to me until I am an adult to wonder if Paul convinced all the kids he could train wild raccoons to compete in swim meets, or if he just made up a kinder explanation for me."

Answer:
We should interact in a way that is unbiased and a way that is child-like
When you're a child you don't see color, poverty, criminals, etc. You see a person for who they are regardless of what they are or what they've done. So in my opinion we should interact in a way where we put aside our differences and opinions and enjoy people and the world in a child-like state of mind

Before writing your response to the prompt below, you might participate in a collaborative conversation to gather ideas. During this conversation, practice the skill of building consensus. Consensus means "general agreement." During your conversation, you and your peers may disagree. In such cases, explore one another’s ideas and opinions and provide evidence and reasoning in support of each claim. The group should listen fairly to all positions and try to come to a general agreement. After your conversation, take note of any disagreements and explain how the group built consensus.
RHETORICAL ANALYSIS: One reason that "Letter from Birmingham Jail" remains one of the best-known texts of the civil rights era is because of the powerful rhetoric that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. uses to advocate for nonviolent resistance to racism. Write a response in which you analyze how King uses characteristics of argumentative texts, such as rhetorical appeals and a convincing con
This question refers to a famous text published by Martin Luther King, which is known as the "Letter From Birmingham Jail." This letter was written in 1963 while King was jailed in Birmingham, Alabama after leading a march of black protesters without a permit.
In this letter, King talks about the role of the civil rights movement, and about what should be expected from it. In order to do so, he employs many types of argumentative appeals and literary devices.
An example of such a rhetorical appeal appears in the following quote:
"I have no fear about the outcome of our struggle in Birmingham, even if our motives are at present misunderstood. We will reach the goal of freedom in Birmingham and all over the nation, because the goal of America is freedom. Abused and scorned though we may be, our destiny is tied up with America's destiny (34)."
In this quote, King argues that the destiny of the United States is necessarily connected with the destiny of black people. He also talks about the place of freedom in America. These references establish pathos, as they make an emotional appeal meant to convince people of the righteousness of his fight.
Another example occurs in the following quote:
"A law is unjust if it is inflicted on a minority that, as a result of being denied the right to vote, had no part in enacting or devising the law. Who can say that the legislature of Alabama which set up that state's segregation laws was democratically elected?"
In this passage, King argues that, as black people did not have the vote, they could not have participated in creating the laws of Alabama. Therefore, they should not be expected to follow them. He employs logos, as he makes a logical argument based on sound premises and evidence.

Answer:
Bright orange
Dripping off the sticks
Howling and crying in the dark
Incredibly obnoxious and immature
Explanation:
The passage you were given is the following:
Camping can be fun. We sat around a bright orange campfire and toasted marshmallows. The marshmallows dripping off the sticks tasted delicious. We stayed up late and told scary stories until bedtime. The animals howling and crying in the dark frightened us. Then, we found out it was just my incredibly obnoxious and immature brother making the noises.
An adjectival phrase is a group of words used to describe a noun or a pronoun, i.e. a group of words that functions as an adjective. To identify an adjectival phrase, we can ask questions such as: What kind is it? What is it like? How many are there? Which one is it?
What is the campfire like? Bright orange.
Which marshmallows tasted delicious? The ones dripping off the sticks.
Which animals frightened us? The ones howling and crying in the dark.
What is my brother like? Incredibly obnoxious and immature.
Camping is a single word and a noun, while the phrase stayed up late and told scary stories is a verb phrase.

How should the writer revise the sentence to correctly include a reflexive pronoun? We decided to audition for the television show.
Answer:
We ourselves decided to audition for the television show.
Explanation:
Reflexive pronouns are pronouns that refer back to a person or thing. We usually use them when the subject (the one who performs an action) and the object (the receiver of the action) are the same.
The reflexive pronouns are: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves.
Reflexive pronouns are also often used to add emphasis to certain words. Like in the given example, they can emphasize that someone did something personally. That makes the fourth option the correct one:
We ourselves decided to audition for the television show.
Answer:
C. We decided to audition for the television show ourselves.

After speaking with Laurence, a patient, two doctors determine two possible treatments for his condition, but they
disagree about which would likely be the most effective. Each treatment can be started and stopped quickly without
leaving side effects. Which is the best way for the doctors to resolve their conflicting opinions?
O Administer both medications to the patient at the same time and note any side effects.
Ask the insurance company to decide which treatment to administer to the patient first,
Administer one treatment until it no longer feels effective and then administer the other.
O Decide on a balanced timeframe for each treatment and note which is more effective.
Answer:
Decide on a balanced timeframe for each treatment and note which is more effective.
Explanation:
To avoid stress and overloading the patient's body, the best option is to have the doctors talk and determine a balanced period of time for the patient to be subjected to both treatments, not all at once, but following a logical order and benefits. After this period, doctors must evaluate which treatment was most effective and continue using the winning treatment, until the patient is cured.

Which sentence best improves the paragraph by adding
specific evidence?
Read the paragraph from a student's rhetorical analysis
essay.
In addition, President Obama uses strongly loaded or
connotative words to conjure vivid images in his
audience's mind and further his appeal to emotion. He
punctuates his argument by saying, "When dictators
commit atrocities, they depend upon the world to look
the other way until those horrifying pictures fade from
memory, but these things happened. The facts cannot
be denied." Here, Obama appeals to logic as well as
emotion. He reasons that the horror of the images from
Syria must lead nations to take action. He asks the
American people to consider the facts of what they have
seen and support military action to stop what is
happening in Syria.
O He reminds the audience of the nature of chemical
weapons and cites an international agreement made
in 1997 to abolish their use throughout the world.
He describes deadly gas used in World Wars I and II
to kill "on a mass scale" and such weapons make "no
distinction between soldier and infant."
He paints a horrifying portrait of the aftermath of the
massacre where people are "foaming at the mouth,
gasping for breath."
He uses the argument that "if we fail to act, the Assad
regime will see no reason to stop using chemical
weapons."
Answer:
D. He uses the argument that "if we fail to act, the Assad
regime will see no reason to stop using chemical
weapons."
Explanation:
I think it is this because in the paragraph it said, "He reasons that the horror of the images from Syria must lead nations to take action". This leads me to believe that D would add specific evidence about what is happening.

Read the introduction to Selene from The Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome by E. M. Berens.
Just as Helios personified the sun, so his sister Selene represented the moon, and was supposed to drive her chariot across the sky whilst her brother was reposing after the toils of the day.
When the shades of evening began to enfold the earth, the two milk-white steeds of Selene rose out of the mysterious depths of Oceanus. Seated in a silvery chariot, and accompanied by her daughter Herse, the goddess of the dew, appeared the mild and gentle queen of the night, with a crescent on her fair brow, a gauzy veil flowing behind, and a lighted torch in her hand.
What element of a myth does this excerpt contain?
A. a description of a historical event
B. a lesson about the origins of life
C. an explanation of the natural world
