Read the paragraph. The schoolwide food drive is an important program that helps the community and instills a sense of responsibility in students. Last year, students collected over 600 canned goods and gave them to the Neighborhood House food pantry, which serves some of the neediest families in our community. Furthermore, many students said that helping with the drive was the first volunteer program they had ever participated in. Finally, without the student council’s support, the food drive will not be officially promoted within school and will likely languish. Therefore, it is imperative that the student council continue to encourage students to volunteer for this important program. What answer makes the best additional evidence to support the author’s reason? A poll of one hundred students found that after participating in the food drive, seventy-three participants found the experience so rewarding that they sought out new volunteer opportunities. My friend Alvin participated in the food drive and said not only was it the best part of the school year, but he looks forward to helping out with the food drive next year. We can definitely beat our previous goal of six hundred cans by both encouraging additional students to join the program and offering prizes for students who collect the most cans. The student council needs to take a leadership role and promote the food drive so that all students, regardless of their previous volunteer experience, become active participants.

What is the effect of the imagery of the beautiful
weather?
It signals that while horrors are
occurring in the concentration
camps, the world continues to
function normally.
It foreshadows that the situation is
improving and the concentration
camps will soon be liberated.
It emphasizes that the march to
Buna is a relaxing break from the
horrors of camp life.
It implies that the Nazis are
manipulating the camps so that the
weather is always dreary within their
bounds.

Answers

Answer:

It signals that while horrors are occurring in the concentration camps, the world continues to function normally.

Explanation:

There is an element of irony, or of contrast here, because life in concentration camps was the complete opposite from the beautiful weather. The author took the time to create the contrast to highlight the horrors occurring in the concentration camps.

Try to find at least three positive times in Van Gogh's life and at least three negative times in his life.

Answers

Answer:

Negative effects Vincent was highly emotional, lacked self-confidence and struggled with his identity and with direction. He believed that his true calling was to preach the gospel; however, it took years for him to discover his calling as an artist. Between 1860 and 1880, when he finally decided to become an artist, van Gogh had already experienced two unsuitable and unhappy romances and had worked unsuccessfully as a clerk in a bookstore, an art salesman, and a preacher in the Borinage (a dreary mining district in Belgium) where he was dismissed for overzealousness.

Positive effects  He remained in Belgium to study art, determined to give happiness by creating beauty. The works of his early Dutch period are somber-toned, sharply lit, genre paintings of which the most famous is "The Potato Eaters" (1885) . In that year van Gogh went to Antwerp where he discovered the works of Rubens and purchased many Japanese prints.

Kites: Birds of Glory

As a rule, raptors, or birds of prey, are among the most admired and adored birds in the world. From the California condor to the snowy owl, few birds compare to the tigers of the air: the great hunters whose beauty and skill have inspired art and literature for centuries. The most glorious feathers of the peacock or the vibrant plumage of a bunting cannot compete with the power of a peregrine falcon or the determination of an osprey. Included in this group of hunters, however, is one bird of prey that is little known but equally impressive. The kites of the world are generally smaller than most raptors, but just as astonishing in skill and grace as any other hunter of the skies.

Most people think of paper or cloth structures flown with string from the ground when the word 'kite' is used. In addition to these popular toys, kite can also refer to a type of raptor. Kites have a small head, a short beak and long narrow wings and tail. Kites can be found all over the world in mostly warm regions. Kites live on a variety of prey—from insects to small rodents or reptiles. Some kites eat only one kind of prey. Kites are generally masterful in the air and represent a group of birds that are among the most acrobatic of fliers.

Two of the most familiar kites in the Southern United States are the swallow-tailed kite and the Mississippi kite. The Mississippi kite is rather plain to look at: a light brown and gray body with a buff or white colored head. But to watch a Mississippi kite fly is to watch a ballet in the air. These raptors eat primarily flying insects, so they do most of their hunting on the wing. As you might imagine, catching flying insects requires a great deal of agility and speed. If you are lucky enough to see one in flight, you will be amazed at the quick turns, graceful moves, and speedy pursuits of this bird. Look for them above large fields, especially during the summer.

The swallow-tailed kite, also common in the South, is more easily identifiable and often seen flying over roads. With black wings and tail, white head and body, and a forked or swallow-like tail, this raptor is just as acrobatic as the Mississippi kite. Swallow-tailed kites like flying over highways in the summer as they can take advantage of the thermals, or columns of warmed air, that rise above the pavement. Once they have climbed to sufficient height, swallow-tails will glide, looking for snakes and reptiles and insects. They also eat small rodents, frogs, and other birds on occasion. Watching a swallow-tail fly is a lot like watching a gymnast perform a floor routine. Rarely flapping its wings, it uses its forked tail to make sharp turns, trace circles in the sky, or simply maintain a heading. Skilled, accomplished, and graceful, this bird is as entertaining as it is beautiful.

Both kites are known to eat while flying, unlike most other birds of prey. This practice conserves energy and allows them to hunt almost continuously. While these kites are not listed as endangered, they are rare and in some states are listed as critical. Loss of habitat is the main reason for the decline. If you are lucky enough to see one, count yourself among the few. These magnificent birds are a sight you won't soon forget.

The kites of the world are generally smaller than most raptors, but just as astonishing in skill and grace as any other hunter of the skies.

Metamorphosis

by Frank Kafka

One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armor-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.

“What’s happened to me?” he thought. It wasn’t a dream.

Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. “How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense”, he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn’t get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn’t have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before.

There was a cautious knock at the door near his head. “Gregor,” somebody called—it was his mother—“it’s quarter to seven. Didn’t you want to go somewhere?” Gregor was shocked when he heard his own voice answering, it could hardly be recognized as the voice he had had before. As if from deep inside him, there was a painful and uncontrollable squeaking mixed in with it, the words could be made out at first but then there was a sort of echo which made them unclear. Gregor had wanted to give a full answer and explain everything, but in the circumstances contented himself with saying: Yes, mother, yes, thank-you, I’m getting up now.“

Review the excerpt from the story “Metamorphosis” and answer the question below:

What can we infer about Gregor’s mood when he tells himself, “How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense”?

Gregor is calm.
Gregor is hysterical.
Gregor is fascinated.
Gregor is fearful.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

A p e x

A play in which guests board the airship Hindenburg, which the audience knows will crash  has the most tension. Thus, option A is correct.

What is play?

A play (PLAY) is a piece of literature created specifically for the theatre that dramatizes events using spoken dialogue and stage directions. Playwrights, who write plays, divide their productions into acts and scenes to increase suspense and make the narrative more engrossing for viewers. There are several distinct kinds of plays, including those created for the stage, radio (radio plays), and television or film (screenplays).

Dramas, which have a serious tone and are frequently tragic, and comedies, which are cheerful and humorous, are the two basic genres into which plays are traditionally separated. All plays, however, strive to amuse audiences and impart important insights into the human condition.

Therefore, we can conclude that option A is correct.

The poem opens with the numbers one through eight scattered across the page. In at least 75 words, discuss what this might mean. Bart Edelman's poem "They Shot Wook Kim"

Answers

Answer:

The numbers one through eight scattered across the page typifies the number of times Wook Kim was shot.

Explanation:

According to the poem, Wook Kim was a Korean that lived as an immigrant in America. He was killed while on a night duty as a worker in the gas station. Bart Edelman described Kim's death as violent and inhumane. The numbers one through eight scattered across the page as an introduction to the poem is significant of the number of times Kim was shot. This is a literary device that Bart used to arouse the emotions of the readers. It also shows the violence that was entrenched in such murder, the reason why he later described the gas station as a morgue, a metaphor typifying the site of such violent murder. The description of the fatality of his death ( eight bullet shots) explains the death a man who found himself among a people whose way of life he found difficult to understand.
