Hi I'm Bobby, and I am here to help you with your reading issue! :)
Here is a sample story I just came up with that will surely help you,
Ruined Weekend
It was a cold stormy night, raining cats and dogs. I love when it rains. It reminds me of myself. Gloomy, dark, no sunshine, and what I wish I was... Free.
"RIIIIIIIIING"
I woke up to the sound of my annoying alarm clock making that same stupid noise it always does. I slam the snooze button causing my palm to burn. I fold my pillow over my ear as if I was hearing something that wasn't too pleasant.
30 minutes later...
"Jessie, wake up! Breakfast is on the table!" screams my mom, with the most horrifying look on her face. I gasp in disgust. Wow, I'm surprised my alarm clock didn't sound. I sit up in my hard bed starring at my mother like Ive never seen such humanoid in my life. The stare weakened as my mother left my room.
I knew my day was going to be horrible. A test exam, a dentist visit, watching my sister at daycare! My day can't get any worse than that, and it was off to a rough start.
Hi, my name is Jessie Baldwin and I live with my cat Hanga, brother Sebastian, and mom. My dad moved away to Las Vegas when he found a new wife. It originated from when my mom caught him cheating on her and my dad said he loved his new wife better. Yeah, a life can't get any worse than that too right? Well, you're wrong, it can. I experience a bad day one on top of the other. I don't remember the last time I had a good day.
We also live in Detroit Michigan in the most ugliest apartment on Clover street. So, if you were to ever come to my house, it will be easy to find.
"Sweetie, we're out of milk so you're going to have to eat your cereal dry. That's what happens when your father forgets to pay his child support and in the result I get NO MONEY!" says my wow with a disgusting look on her face. The look doesn't take away her beauty though. My mom has beautiful red hair with hazel eyes, and the most finest skin any woman could wish for.
I groan and munch huge portions of cereal with a grumpy look on my face trying to disgust my mom so she would see how bad I felt about today. I look to the left seeing my brother copying me. Stuffing huge portions of cereal in his mouth looking at mom, then quickly glancing at me.
"Oh, stop it Sebastian!" I yell. Firmly sliding my cereal bowl to the end of the counter, storming out of the kitchen to my room to get my clothes on, but to also show more that I hate my day. Why do I have to take an exam on Saturday! I crash into my bed as hard as I can. I look at the window.
What in the world is that?
I see a raccoon pacing in my backyard. Why can't he just go home? Why am I associating it with a he? What if it has children? Why is it in my yard? Is it looking for food? A whole gallon of ideas pop into my brain.
"I cant take the tension." I murmur.
I dash downstairs forgetting what I did to my mom. Heading straight to the back door, I feel my mothers hand clasp my forearm.
"Not so fast kiddo," she says in the (I know what you're doing) voice. "you aren't going anywhere without my permission. I let you do it once, it wont happen again. What is it? A boy? Are you trying to go see a boy?"
"Mom!!! No! Can you please leave me alone. Stay out my business. Don't be such a mom. Ugh!" I exclaim.
I push myself from my mothers arm, unlocking the door, and breaking my neck trying to get out of there. Soaking wet, I stop at a stop light panicking. Looking back, looking forward, looking left, looking right. i forgot I was trying to see the raccoon in my backyard. "Oh what the heck! This light is taking too long!" I run across the crosswalk not looking where I was going and....
-Lights out-
I can't feel anything. I can't see anything. It's like I was trapped in my body. I could only hear a ring. The same annoying sound that woke me up this morning but even worse.
A weekend can't get any worse that this
It was consolation to the students that they would repeat the exam if they did their best
What is your question?
The correct answer is A) comfort.
The other options of the question were B) favor C) present. D) punishment.
It was a consolation to the students that they would repeat the exam if they did their best. It was comfort.
Students felt relief when they were noticed about the repetition of the exam if they improved their performance. They were comfortable with the decision. That is how you feel when a decision appeals to you. In this case, students knew that they could have a second chance.
Plz Help!! Re-read the passage Douglass writes after he fights with Mr. Covey. What does Douglass mean by, "however long I might remain a slave in form, the day has passed forever when I could be a slave in fact."
"Form" relates to physical "form." "Fact" relates to the person themselves. Most likely (And this is without any other context. If this is not the right question, I'd recommend including the paragraph.) this piece means that Douglass may be a slave to someone, but he has freedoms and rights.
Douglass means that while he may remain physically enslaved, his enlightenment through literacy has freed his mind, ensuring he can no longer be subjugated in spirit.
Explanation:Frederick Douglass articulates a profound shift in his journey from being enslaved in body to achieving freedom in mind. "However long I might remain a slave in form, the day has passed forever when I could be a slave in fact," signifies Douglass's internal liberation. The oppressive institution of slavery could no longer hold his spirit or intellect in bondage after he discovered the transformative power of literacy and education. Despite the physical constraints, his ability to read, contemplate, and communicate ideas of freedom and equality rekindled his determination to resist enslavement. Douglass's narrative reflects this transition from despair to empowerment; through learning and a resolute fight against his oppressor, he reclaimed his identity and resolved that he would never again submit to the will of another as a slave in essence, even though he might still appear to be one externally.
Someone who knows how can i write the correct form of used to and would
Im not sure what you mean by the question, but here are the answers for 1-4 and 6. I couldn't figure out 5.
1. used to
2. used to
3. would
4. would
6. used to
The phrase 'used to' indicates a past habit or regular action that doesn’t occur anymore, while 'would' represents a past habit, excluding states. Proper agreement between subject personal pronouns and the verb is also crucial.
Explanation:Both 'used to' and 'would' are typically used to talk about past habits or situations. The phrase 'used to' is used to talk about something that occurred regularly in the past but doesn't occur anymore, while 'would' is not used with state verbs. For instance, one could say 'I used to play soccer every weekend,' implying that they no longer do. However, 'would' should be used with caution as it can only be used to describe a past habit, not a past state. Therefore, you cannot say 'I would live in France,' but you can say 'I would visit the Eiffel Tower every month,' where ‘would visit’ is a repeated past action.
Take note of the correct use of subject and object personal pronouns with these phrases too. For instance, you can say 'He used to play soccer,' where 'He' is the subject personal pronoun. The subject personal pronoun should agree with the verb in the sentence.

How does the narrator in “the nuns priest tale” make the story seem epic and heroic? How do the word choice and phrasing affect the narration?
The narrator in "The Nun’s Priest’s Tale" decides to tell a humorous fable about farm animals. He chooses the lofty style of epic narration to relate his commonplace story of a rooster and a fox. This style adds a comic element to the story. The nun’s priest compares the rooster Chanticleer to epic Greek heroes such as Hector and Achilles. Chanticleer’s boasts are like those of epic characters. Pertelote’s screams are likened to the loud shrieks of Hasdrubal’s wife on learning of his death in Carthage. The epic style is used to entertain readers and hold their interest in an otherwise mundane story.

Think about that first group of finches which of the following is true about their beaks?
Darwin observed that finch species have different beak shapes that are adapted for acquiring different food sources. This variation in beak shape is a result of natural selection based on different food sources in different habitats.
Explanation:Darwin observed that beak shape varies among finch species. He postulated that the beak of an ancestral species had adapted over time to equip the finches to acquire different food sources. For example, the beak of a seed-eating finch is thicker and stronger, suited for breaking hard nuts, while the beak of a nectar-eating finch is long, allowing it to reach into flowers for nectar. This variation in beak shape is a result of natural selection based on different food sources in different habitats.

Is a quotation or an illustration more difficult to incorporate into an essay? And Why?
In my opinion, it is hard to decide whether which of the two is more difficult to be put into an essay as both the quotations and illustrations can add value to it, if incorporated effectively but that is where most of the people fail.
People tend to use direct quotations when they think the idea cannot be expressed or communicated more appropriately. While some people just give a reference to it and paraphrase it in their own words, which sometimes loses its meaning or the level of effectiveness that original quotation had in it.
On the contrary, an illustration, I think, is more difficult to incorporate into an essay because it has to clearly express and bespeak in accordance to support the idea being discussed with the use of an evidence.
define word and identify its root and affix(es) pandemic
Final answer:
The term pandemic, which describes a disease affecting a wide geographic area and a large portion of the population, comprises two parts: the prefix 'pan-' meaning 'all' and the root 'demos' meaning 'people'. This structure highlights the word's meaning as a disease spreading globally among people.
Explanation:
The word pandemic refers to a disease that affects a wide geographical area and impacts a large proportion of the population, often on a global scale. The term is derived from two parts: the prefix 'pan-', meaning 'all', and the root 'demos', which comes from Greek meaning 'people'. Together, they describe a disease that spreads among all people, or more commonly, worldwide. Examples of pandemic diseases include HIV/AIDS and the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), as well as strains of the influenza virus that have achieved global spread.
The prefix 'pan-' changes the meaning of the root to encompass a broader, more inclusive context, indicating the widespread nature of the disease. The root 'demos' forms the core meaning of the word, focusing on the aspect of people or population affected. This structure, consisting of a prefix and a root, follows the common pattern in English of forming polymorphemic words, which contain multiple morphemes that combine to create new meanings.
Understanding the structure and meaning behind terms like pandemic not only enhances vocabulary but also provides insight into the nature of such diseases and their impact on humanity.
How would the story Hamadi by Naomi shihab nye be different if handy was its first-person narrator?

D.) The reader would get a more impartial and honest account of the stories events.

The first person point of view is used to provide readers with the narrator's feelings and inner thoughts. As a consequence, if "Hamadi" had been written in the first person with Hamadi as the narrator, then readers would not have so much information about what motivates the rest of the characters, and the account would be influenced by Hamadi's emotions and prejudices.

Which agent of socialization do you think is most important in a persons life? Why? Do you think the different agents of socialization are more important at different stages of our lives? Why or why not?
I find "Family" as the most essential agent of socialization in any human being's life. I say so because it happens to not only be an agent but the foundation that creates a strong individual. A kid brought up in a dis-functional family finds it hard, later, to deal with other different hindrance that life creates for him. Therefore, a strategic plan is to be referred for a clearer understanding and utilization of the environment around us. This motif is carried out by implementing the best effort that is laid down by the agents of socialization.
Moving on, we are asked are the other agents equivalently desiring or not? Well, I will again say yes, as all the agents are dependent on each other and at a time in life, you will have to deal with your individual self without leaning for help from your peers and family. To be frank, Life is not short, so an individual deals with different kind of objectives in life.
A definite understanding of each agent is a necessity. As the years pass, a person has to carry himself in the world, either for his betterment or just for life's security. To sum up; Family, Mass-media, Peers, Religion, School and Work, are all a requirement to enhance your life-standard and make you successful.

which line from the poem the lady's dressing room would best help the reader infer celia's social class?
The lines from the poem The Lady’s Dressing Room by Jonathan Swift that would help the reader infer Celia’s social class are:
Five hours, (and who can do it less in?) / By haughty Celia spent in dressing; /The goddess from her chamber issues, / Arrayed in lace, brocades and tissues.
It is a satire about an upper-class woman’s dressing room. Women of higher classes tend to spend more time embellishing themselves than women of lower classes do. They care more about their physical appearance.
Lines from 'The Lady's Dressing Room' like 'Five Hours, (and who can do it less in?)' and 'Littered with rags of the finest lace' help infer Celia's high social class through markers of wealth and time
Explanation:The question asks for a line from the poem 'The Lady's Dressing Room' that would help the reader infer Celia's social class. One line that could provide insight would be 'Five Hours, (and who can do it less in?)', which implies her wealth and higher status because she has the leisure time for such a lengthy act of grooming. Another line is 'Littered with rags of the finest lace', indicating her high social standing by the fine materials in her possession. Both these lines provide direct and indirect indications of Celia's social class by using the time she spends on grooming and the quality of her personal items as markers of wealth and status.

Which situation is the best example of a zero sum game?
The correct answer is b. Conflict is the conqueror's life; the only way to get more land is to take it from someone else.
To find the best option lets investigate what a zero-sum game means. It represents that the victory of one side automatically represents the loss of the other. All the other options do not qualify in this definition, given that they represent a win/win game and a logistic example.
The Conqueror's story expressed in the text qualifies exactly for the zero-sum game. Given that the win of the conqueror (land) is based on the losses of the conquered (loss of land).
