Answer and Explanation:
According to the instructions, we must first analyze the poem “A Poison Tree”, by William Blake. The theme of the poem concerns enmity and resentment. The speaker is able to speak to his friend when angry at him. Consequently, the issue between them is solved and the anger goes away. However, he does not do the same with his foe. For that reason, the anger grows. The tone is cynical and self-congratulatory. The speaker is glad to be feeding his own wrath. He is even happier when the wrath bears fruit and harms his enemy. The mood is joyful and ominous at the same time, since the speaker truly seems to wish for his enemy’s demise.
Now, we must analyze the short story “The Interlopers”, by author Saki. The theme of the story also concerns enmity and resentment. However, it goes beyond and includes forgiveness. The main character and his foe have inherited a feud over a forested land. They temperaments only added fuel to the already explosive relationship. However, they both end up pinned down by a fallen tree and, while stuck together, are able to let go and forgive each other. The tone is tense, the narrator is quite direct in his description of the rivalry between the men and their families. As they forgive each other, the tone becomes reflective and optimistic, but only for a brief moment. It goes back to being tense once the characters realize wolves are coming in their direction. The mood is gloomy, dark, ominous. The stormy, cold night, the dangerous forest, the men’s helplessness, all of it contributes to create this foreboding sensation.
As we can see, the story and the poem have obvious similarities between them. They have similar themes and moods. The main distinction concerns how differently the speaker of the poem evolves when compared to the characters in the story. While the characters find common ground and choose to compromise, finally letting go of their anger, the speaker in the poem chooses to keep on cultivating his wrath. He is delighted to see its result – the destruction of his foe. Both the story and the poem have a bitter ending, but this too is caused by different reasons. The story is bitter because, after anticipating a better future for the both of them, the characters realize they are going to die. Not only that, but if it weren’t for their feud, they wouldn’t have been there that night at all. Even though they found forgiveness, their rivalry was still their killer. The poem, on the other hand, is bitter because the speaker is bitter. We can almost taste his acidic sentiments toward his enemy, and his sour pleasure to hurt him.

Silas gave Bod a quest—to find each of the twenty-six letters in the graveyard— and Bod finished it, proudly, with the discovery of Ezekiel Ulmsley's stone, built into the side of the wall in the old chapel. His guardian was pleased with him. Which type of speech is this
Answer:
Demonstrative Speech
Explanation:
The demonstrative discourse is one that shows how a certain situation happened and what was the result, or that shows how a certain element works.

Answer:
1. Customers demand thousands of products, and every grocery tries to please. - independent clause
2. Because people have different tastes, stores order many brands. - subordinate clause
3. When a product is popular, a store stocks many sizes of that one product. - subordinate clause
4. In the past, a cashier could not record every product sold as she rang up a sale. - subordinate clause
5. While the store was closed, workers took inventory. - subordinate clause
6. Managers noted products low in stock, and the purchasing agent reordered. - independent clause

8. In 1948, when a graduate student at Drexel Institute of Technology heard about the problem, he and a partner set out to solve it. - subordinate clause
9. Almost 25 years passed before their solution became practical. - subordinate clause
Explanation:
I underlined coordinating conjunctions and independent/subordinate clauses and bolded subordinating conjunctions.
Independent clauses are clauses that can stand on their own as separate sentences. They contain all elements a sentence should contain: a subject, predicate, and they express a complete thought. When a sentence consists of more than one independent clause, they are often connected by a coordinating conjunction. There are seven coordinating conjunctions: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so.
A subordinate clause is a clause that can't stand alone as a complete sentence. Its purpose is to provide additional information about the main clause. What connects subordinate clauses to main clauses are subordinating conjunctions.

What is the most likely outcome of a collaborative discussion about point of view in a work of fiction?
Answer:
Some of the most valuable skills that managers look for in employees are often difficult to define, let alone evaluate or quantify: self-discipline, self-awareness, creative problem-solving, empathy, learning agility, adaptiveness, flexibility, positivity, rational judgment, generosity, and kindness, among others.

How does the character of the talking skull reveal the author's point of view in the story
Answer:
The Talking Skull
Explanation:
In Donna L. Washington's "The Talking Skull-A fairy tale by Cameroon," the theme involves how you might be bothered by speaking too much about yourself and talking too loud. In order to teach the lesson, the author utilities the character of the talking skull. A man who sees himself as a philosopher and who speaks and talks about topics that are just essential to him, but who nobody else needs to know, discovers a skull. In other words, the skull responds directly to what triggered her death, "Talking."
Pick the sentence that avoids redundancy and wordiness.
When Luther realized his mistake, his cheeks turned the same rosy red flush as his red T-shirt
When Luther realized his mistake, his cheeks flushed, turning the same color as his T-shirt.
When Luther realized his embarrassing mistake, his cheeks began turning the same rosy color as his T-shirt.
When Luther realized his mistake, his cheeks turned the same rosy red glow as his red T-shirt.
Answer:
The second one
Explanation:
The other sentences keep describing the color of his cheeks and shirt and in the second one, it describes his cheeks being flushed, meaning red, and how it's the same color as his shirt.
Answer:
When Luther realized his mistake, his cheeks flushed, turning the same color as his T-shirt.
Explanation:
Bewildered is a term used to characterize a set of disconnected words. We can also say that verbiage is a speech without nexus or even an insignificant conversation, speech or talk. On the other hand, redundancy is an unnecessary repetition of ideas, also called vague pleonasm or tautology.
Following this reasoning we can see that only the sentence "When Luther realized his mistake, his cheeks flushed, turning the same color as his T-shirt." is the only option that has neither wordiness nor redundancy.

I DID NOT GET THIS FROM THE WEB!!!
IS THIS GOOD OR NOT??
Answer:
Whatever you want it to be ....
Explanation:
Writing a paragraph on food culture has to do with meaning ! Food has background!! So food is a necessity for every living thing... gives us enjoyment at the same time. Chinese like to eat hot pot in winter to keep them warm. In the northern part of China, there are more spicy dishes than the southern part of China. Different cultures have many different religions, different religions mean that they have different customs and food is an important part of a religion. Some religion such as Muslims, consider eating pork as a dirty food, and people should not eat them. People also choose not to eat meat a new part of culture nowadays ... they have meanings behind it either because they feel for the animals or because they might have had a pet animal they had to end up killing. This could be because of their family had to kill it for food, because that was how they were raised... which is also another part of their culture raising and killing there animals for food.

Anne Frank and Malala Yousafzai both overcame horrific acts of oppression. Write an essay discussing how Anne and Malala responded to the discrimination that was imposed on them. Support your response with evidence from the text.
Answer:Life narratives are an important part of literature. They allow the reader to experience the author’s life through their eyes. By doing this they are exposed to the author’s emotions and point of view, which the reader would not have experienced if it wasn’t a life narrative. Both Anne Frank and Malala Yousafzai have written very inspiring life narratives. A Diary of a Young Girl by Frank and I am Malala by Yousafzi share incredible stories of two young girls going through something nobody should ever face in their lifetime. Both girls stories have raised awareness in their own ways around the world.
Frank’s diary shares her experience as a young Jewish girl living in Germany during the Second World War. Having to go into hiding with her family to escape from the Nazis is one of many examples of the writing in her diary. Anne’s diary allows the reader to learn about the horrors that are happening to the Jewish people through her eyes, and get a personal experience of the War. Frank’s book is taught in middle schools today for students to learn about the War. I think teaching the book at this age is important because the readers would be around the same age as Frank was while she was writing. When I studied this book in school, it was shocking to me what Anne was going through at 13 in comparison to what I was.
Malala’s book is an incredible story of how she stood up for the right for girls to go to school against the Taliban at the age of fifteen. The book is set in Pakistan during a time when the Taliban had control over most things — including schools for girls. That did not stop Malala from going to school. Malala had very different views from the Taliban when it came to gender equality (I am Malala). Her advocacy for her beliefs is what made her a target of the Taliban and is why they attempted to murder her. Being targeted and shot for her views was not going to stop Malala. She wrote a book to share with the world her experience and to show people the discrimination against women that is occurring in her country.
These books show how two young girls different experiences can influence so many people around the world. Anna and Malala come from very different backgrounds and religious views, but they are both seen just as inspiring. By looking at the books together it is clear how it doesn’t matter where they come from, the time they are set in, or what they have faced, both girls and books are equally influential in the literary world.
