Answer:
I do think that an original painting, painted by the actual artist is more valuable. I think this because,let's say you had one of Van Gogh's original paintings, this painting would have been done a long time ago and that makes it valuable. I also think that if it was painted by the original artist, they are one that took much time to do that painting and they are the one that came up with the idea to paint whatever they painted. It's not like a copy that you can print out in no time at all. It is a painting that someone took time on.

How does the imagery of the bell affect the mood of this stanza?
Down sank the bell with a gurgling sound;
The bubbles rose and burst around.
Quoth Sir Ralph, “The next who comes to the Rock
Won’t bless the Abbot of Aberbrothok.”
The bell sinks into the water with a gurgling sound, as if trying to sound one last warning; this creates an ominous mood.
The bell endures, no matter what Sir Ralph tries to do; this creates a triumphant mood as good survives in spite of evil.
The bell serves as a symbol of the destruction Sir Ralph will do to the town; it creates a mood of despair.
The bell rings loudly in celebration, creating a cheerful mood.
Answer:
The bell sinks into the water with a gurgling sound, as if trying to sound one last warning; this creates an ominous mood.
Explanation:
"Down sank the bell with a gurgling sound;".
It is not ringing loudly, nor enduring. There's not a lot importance on it, except for the idea of a final warning. A sound that is almost not heard, but it is. A last sound. "The bubbles rose and burst around."
Toby hid his smile as the teacher handed back his test: another perfect score. Knowing the other students would tease him, he quickly turned the paper over on his desk.

A. Toby wants a scholarship for college.
B. Toby is sad that he doesn't have friends.
C. Toby is upset that he got a bad grade.

What elements of “Reality Check” place it in the genre of science fiction ? Does it present utopian or a dystopian vision ?
Science fiction is a type of literature that is based upon a made-up reality—a fantasy, if you will—of the future and technologically advanced societies. The story, “Reality Check,” by David Brin, has quite a few elements that qualify it as science fiction. For one, the story takes place some time in the distant future. We know this because there is a reference to the past year of 2147 when “the last of their race died.” Additionally, the story begins by assuming the reader is some type of computer-human hybrid by the way it requests the reader to “pattern-scan” the story “for embedded code and check it against the reference verifier in the blind spot of [the] left eye.” Further, the narrator discloses toward the end of the story how his people have a “machine-enhanced ability to cast thoughts far across the cosmos.” The story represents a dystopian society, or at least a society that is deemed to be failed and dystopian by the narrator. This is evidenced by the narrator’s reference to his planet as “The Wasteland” and how he discloses how much of his “population wallows in simulated, marvelously limited sub-lives.” As the story concludes, it is made clear how unhappy his society is when it is stated that they have been “snared in [a] web of ennui.” Because of these loathsome descriptions of his society, it seems quite impossible that the society could be anything near a utopia thus could only be seen to be dystopian.

Read the poem below and answer the question. That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. In me thou sees the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west; Which by and by black night doth take away, Death's second self that seals up all in rest. In me thou seest the glowing of such fire That on the ashes of his youth doth lie, As the deathbed whereon it must expire, Consumed with that which it was nourished by. This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong, To love that well, which thou must leave ere long. To what does the phrase "Death's second self" refer? sunset night ashes twilight
The phrase "Death's second self" in the poem is a metaphor that refers to the night, symbolizing the end of day and the stillness analogous to death.
The phrase "Death's second self" in the poem refers to night. This metaphorical expression suggests that night is akin to death in that it brings a cessation of the day's activities and envelops everything in darkness, similar to how death brings an end to life's activities and wraps everything in stillness. In the wider context of the poem, this imagery serves to deepen the theme of transience and the inevitable progression towards decay and end.
Read the excerpt from “The Scarlet Ibis.”
1 It’s strange that all this is still so clear to me, now that the summer has long since fled and time has had its way. 2 A grindstone stands where the bleeding tree stood, just outside the kitchen door, and now if an oriole sings in the elm, its song seems to die up in the leaves, a silvery dust. 3 The flower garden is prim, the house a gleaming white, and the pale fence across the yard stands straight and spruce. 4 But sometimes (like right now), as I sit in the cool, green-draped parlor, the grindstone begins to turn, and time with all its changes is ground away—and I remember Doodle.

Is the church in to kill a mockingbird in the town limits?
Final answer:
The church in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is located outside the town limits of Maycomb, symbolizing the racial divisions of the time. It offers Scout and Jem new insights into their community.
Explanation:
The church in To Kill a Mockingbird is outside the town limits of Maycomb. In Harper Lee's novel, the First Purchase African M.E. Church is situated outside of the town, indicating the geographical and social separation of the African-American community from the white population in Maycomb. This setting underscores the racial divisions and isolation prevalent in the American South during the 1930s, the period in which the novel is set. The church serves as a pivotal location for Scout and Jem as it offers them a different perspective on their community and is significant to the development of their understanding of racial inequality.
Which sentence from an analytical essay contains a gerund acting as the subject of the sentence?
a. although, the protagonist is viewing the subject from an different angle than the antagonist.
b. later in the novels, each character is guilty of causing resentment among family members.
c. although, negotiating for jason wilkins is a profession, for emily dane it is skill she must learn.
d. it is clear in the poem that willis and brady love painting, but neither has time to pursue his dream?
The correct answer is C. Although, negotiating for Jason Wilkins is a profession, for Emily Dane, it is skill she must learn.
Explanation:
A gerund is a word that ends in -ing and acts a subject rather than as a verb. For example in "Surfing is funny" the word "surfing" is an -ing verb because it describes an activity. Additionally, gerunds can be identified because due they are placed before the main verb and are the entities of the action. Sentence C contains a gerund because, in this, the word "negotiating" acts as the subject of the sentence "negotiating for Jason Wilkins is a profession". "Negotiating" is the subject because it precedes the main verb "is" and it is the agent of this action or state.

Which sentence from “Island of Hope, Island of Tears” contains both a cause and an effect?
A. “Salvatore, Giuseppe Sicurella's brother, was employed as a barber.”
B. “Her brother placed a housework-wanted ad in a local paper, and Katherine was soon hired as a governess with a wealthy family.”
C. “He was 22 years old and felt a responsibility to help his mother and 12 brothers and sisters.”
D. “His brother Salvatore followed in 1908 and their siblings Antonio, Maria Anna, and Angelina joined them in 1913.”
Answer: The sentence that contains both a cause and an effect is B. “Her brother placed a housework-wanted ad in a local paper, and Katherine was soon hired as a governess with a wealthy family”.
Explanation: Different logical relationships can be established between sentences or within the same sentence. One of them is the cause-effect relationship, which consists in presenting an event and its consequence or effect. In sentence B., the fact that her brother placed an ad in the newspaper is the cause of Katherine's hiring. In that way, the fact that Katherine was hired as governess is the effect of the idea presented in the first clause.
When training for volleyball or basketball, getting a jump-start on athletic development is one of the best things athletes can do to give themselves increased confidence and an advantage over the competition. The truth about this is that if athletes are competing they are already putting training-level stress on their bodies in uncontrolled environments. Proper training will not only increase performance, but also decrease risk of injury. Athletes' bodies can be strengthened and less prone to injury in controlled environments. Anything less than a multifaceted approach is missing the chance of dramatic improvement, and the synergy of targeting every effective facet of vertical jump explosion.

The Fall of the House of Usher
By Edgar Allan Poe
Noticing these things, I rode over a short causeway to the house. A servant in waiting took my horse, and I entered the Gothic archway of the hall. A valet, of stealthy step, thence conducted me, in silence, through many dark and intricate passages in my progress to the studio of his master. Much that I encountered on the way contributed, I know not how, to heighten the vague sentiments of which I have already spoken. While the objects around me—while the carvings of the ceilings, the sombre tapestries of the walls, the ebon blackness of the floors, and the phantasmagoric armorial trophies which rattled as I strode, were but matters to which, or to such as which, I had been accustomed from my infancy—while I hesitated not to acknowledge how familiar was all this—I still wondered to find how unfamiliar were the fancies which ordinary images were stirring up. On one of the staircases, I met the physician of the family. His countenance, I thought, wore a mingled expression of low cunning and perplexity. He accosted me with trepidation and passed on. The valet now threw open a door and ushered me into the presence of his master.
Roderick Usher's poem
By Edgar Allan Poe
In the greenest of our valleys,
By good angels tenanted,
Once a fair and stately palace—
Radiant palace—reared its head.
In the monarch Thought's dominion—
It stood there!
Never seraph spread a pinion
Over fabric half so fair.
Banners yellow, glorious, golden,
On its roof did float and flow;
(This—all this—was in the olden
Time long ago);
And every gentle air that dallied,
In that sweet day,
Along the ramparts plumed and pallid,
A winged odor went away.
...
And, round about his home, the glory
That blushed and bloomed
Is but a dim-remembered story
Of the old time entombed.
And travellers now within that valley,
Through the red-litten windows see
Vast forms that move fantastically
To a discordant melody;
While, like a rapid ghastly river,
Through the pale door,
A hideous throng rush out forever,
And laugh—but smile no more.

What would Peter from Romeo and Juliet wear as modern clothing?
What is a good simple costume idea
For a modern take on Peter's attire in Romeo and Juliet, a simple costume idea is a work uniform consisting of a polo shirt, durable pants like jeans or khakis, and comfortable shoes, reflecting his servant status and practical nature.
Explanation:When modernizing Peter's attire from Romeo and Juliet for a contemporary setting, it's essential to consider the character's status, occupation, and personality. Peter, being a servant in the Capulet household, would likely opt for practical and durable clothing that aligns with his working-class status. A simple and effective costume idea would be a modern work uniform, such as a polo shirt paired with durable pants, like jeans or khakis, and comfortable shoes suitable for someone who performs various tasks. This attire reflects Peter's position while also adapting to contemporary fashion.
Accessories such as a cap or a tool belt could add detail to the costume, emphasizing Peter's role as a servant who is ready to carry out orders or tasks. This approach to costume design not only modernizes the character but also remains faithful to Shakespeare's storytelling, showcasing how contemporary dress can offer a fresh perspective on classic texts.

The title “Another Evening at the Club” is close in meaning to “Just Another Evening at the Club.” What do you think this tile might mean? Base your ideas on actual events from the story.
Final answer:
The title “Another Evening at the Club” suggests a routine event, but akin to the complexity in Edward Hopper's artwork, it likely hints at significant yet understated events, reflecting subtle tensions and dynamics within a superficially mundane setting.
Explanation:
The title “Another Evening at the Club” closely parallels “Just Another Evening at the Club,” suggesting a routine or ordinary event. However, in the context of the story, this title might ironically hint at significant, albeit underplayed, events taking place. Similar to the silent tensions and unfulfilled interactions among characters in Edward Hopper's Nighthawks and the diverse, yet segregated societal scenarios depicted in Cocktails and Early Sunday Morning, the title could symbolize the superficial calm and underlying complexities within the club setting.
