Book: Moneyball
Chapter 9

Why does Beane use the metaphor of the trade deadline as a shopping spree?

Answers

Answer 1

The chapter begins with a textbook example of bad management. Instead of listening to the statistics (i.e., that, generally speaking, the Cleveland Indians do well against lefties), Art Howe has made a reckless, intuitive decision to put Magnante into the game; as a result, the A’s are losing. Had Howe opted for a more dispassionate, statistical approach to his job, the A’s might have won the game.

Would you quit social media?

Answers

Answer:

not in a million times !!!!!!!!!!!

No because it’s a huge social network that allows us to connect with fellow peers at a distance, it has a lot of pros like being able to keep up with the latest updates on society, connecting and reaching out with others and being able to know what goes on in others lives as well. All though it has these pros there are also cons, for there are some messed up people out there who may want to inflict harm on others social media or social life. You have people like cyber bullies, hackers who can leak all your personal info and trolls/ people who like to humiliate or degrade others in the comments. These following can be degrading or could harm someone’s self esteem and confidence. Yes these cons can have negative effects but that would not stop me from using social media because it can also be a helpful, positive and open network that can also respect one’s privacy. Thank you for listening into my TED talk :)

How do the poets use language and imagery to protest about the futility of war?

Answers

Answer:

where is the poem

without the poem i can't do

Explanation:

The word novel is borrowed from the Italian word novella (Henry 235). Defining exactly what a novel is can be hard work. The standard dictionary definition is "a fictional prose narrative of considerable length, typically having a plot that is unfolded by the actions, speech, and thoughts of the characters" ("Novel"). Novels in some way represent life. The representations, however, occur in a narrative about life and experience. Since the novel can represent life, such fiction can be serious. The seriousness begins when the novel deals with humankind in a way that shows its importance and significance within the fictional world of the novel. The world of a novel varies greatly from author to author because each writer creates a new fictional world for a new work. That world may be all the relationships of a whole nation or of a very small town. That world may be as confined as the captain's cabin on a ship or as open as a little island. That world may also be as withdrawn as the farthest recesses of the human mind. Novels are important as they entertain and instruct the readers through a variety of life experiences.

Helen Grey
By Christina Georgina Rossetti

Because one loves you, Helen Grey,
Is that a reason you should pout,
And like a March wind veer about,
And frown, and say your shrewish say?
Don't strain the cord until it snaps,
Don't split the sound heart with your wedge,
Don't cut your fingers with the edge
Of your keen wit; you may, perhaps.

Because you're handsome, Helen Grey,
Is that a reason to be proud?
Your eyes are bold, your laugh is loud,
Your steps go mincing on their way;
But so you miss that modest charm
Which is the surest charm of all:
Take heed, you yet may trip and fall,
And no man care to stretch his arm.

Stoop from your cold height, Helen Grey,
Come down, and take a lowlier place;
Come down, to fill it now with grace;
Come down you must perforce some day:
For years cannot be kept at bay,
And fading years will make you old;
Then in their turn will men seem cold,
When you yourself are nipped and grey.

Which line from "Helen Grey" implies the author thinks Helen's behavior is going to hurt Helen herself? (4 points)

Because one loves you, Helen Grey / Is that a reason you should pout
Don't cut your fingers with the edge / Of your keen wit;
Stoop from your cold height, Helen Grey / Come down, and take a lowlier place
Come down you must perforce some day / For years cannot be kept at bay

In 12-15 sentences, summarize the book "Thirteen Days to Midnight".

Answers

Answer:

Jacob Fielding is your average teenager. But one day he is given an amazing power that grants him absolute invincibility, but at a cost. The longer you have said ability, the more suicidal psychopathic you become. The only way to get rid of this curse is to simply say the words, "You are invincible" to the person of your choice.

Jacob soon starts to realize he has this power. Without realizing, he signs his friend Ophelia’s cast with the words “You are indestructible” Then things start to go awry. The children become obsessed with his power and only want to use it for themselves.

Ophelia soon becomes dark and sinister like the other children. Jacob and his other friend Milo spend the rest of the book attempting to save her. One common theme in this book is that “with power comes great responsibility” The dark and twistedness of this book illustrates this theme through all of its characters.

to a life-threatening incident?

Answers

Answer:

This fear can spread rapidly and is not limited to those experiencing the event directly—others that are affected include family members of victims and survivors, and people who are exposed through broadcast images. Psychological suffering is usually more prevalent than the physical injuries from a terrorism event. Understanding these psychological consequences is critical to the nation's efforts to develop intervention strategies at the pre-event, event, and post-event phases that will limit the adverse psychological effects of terrorism.

Explanation:

From the given sentence, I have been able to fix the error that I discovered in the sentence.

From the sentence, I discovered that there is an error in "...you find yourself yawning to". So, we will change the "to" to "too" in order for the sentence to be corrected and fixed.

WHY DO YOU THINK IT TAKES COURAGE TO BE A FOLLOWER OF JESUS IN OUT CURRENT TIMES? WRITE ABOUT A PARAGRAPH ( 5-8 SENTENCES

Answers

Answer:

There isn’t a human being alive on this planet who isn’t acquainted with troubles. Times of difficulty arrive unexpectedly, often remain indefinitely, and the sorrowful memories they produce take deep root in the mind. It is no wonder, then, why Jesus’s promise in John 16:33 also takes deep root in the minds and hearts of so many Christians: “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

This comforting verse is found within a larger section in the Gospel of John. Chapters 13-17 make up what theologians refer to as the Farewell Discourse. These are Jesus’s final words of reassurance, comfort, and encouragement to his disciples in the upper room before his betrayal, arrest, and crucifixion.

In chapter 16, he speaks to them of his impending death and departure, as well as their desertion. In John 16:32, Jesus tells them, “A time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.”
