U2.9 Reading: Comparing and Contrasting Text Structures (Growing in Place and Creating A Nation)
Imagine that a new student named Scott has come to your class. To catch up, Scott reads both texts from this week's reading lesson.
When he is finished, your teacher asks you to explain to Scott what text structure is, and why authors use different text structures to organize information. In your response, be sure to:
-Define text structure in your own words.
-Explain why authors use different text structures to organize information.
-Use details from both texts to support your explanation.
The text structure of Growing in a Place is, Sequence. I know this biography is sequence because, The text went from Childhood to Young Adul then to Adult, and lastly Later years. In the text as a child, it says, " Lucy was interested in Plants she often joined her sister Annette and her parents on an energetic walk through the nearby woods." As a Young adult, it states, "Lucy became interested in ecology. Ecology looks at how living things interact with their environments. Lucy believe that plant life in some areas has been able to migrate over time she met this movement back when glaciers covered those regions with ice." As a young adult, it states, "in 1917 Lucy began to teach botany at the University of Cincinnati. Lucy collected plants from all around the country she photographed them many of them two-colored photography was still new at the time because of that people enjoy her lectures and slide shows a great deal," As an Old woman it states, "Later in her life, Lucy wrote many field guides. Field guides are books that identify plants found in a particular area. In 1950, she published her most important guide. It describes the plants in the forests of the eastern United States."
The text structure of "Creating a Nation" is, Problem and Solution. I know that this Book/Article is Problem and solution because in the story King Gorge the 3rd was having problems and had to solve them. One problem was, "King George the third needed money to rule his Empire." The solution was, "he began collecting taxes starting with the Stamp Act." The second problem was that "Most colonists felt that the Stamp Act was unfair." The solution was," They protested unit it was canceled." The third problem is, women protested the tax on cloth by weaving their own cloth at home." The last problem is, "After protesting taxes the colonists were left with the tax on tea." The solution was, "The colonists protested the tax on tea by participating in the Boston Tea Party where they dumped the tea on a British ship overboard." This is why I know the two stories were different from each other and that Growing in a Place is sequence and "Creating a Nation" is, Problem and Solution

They sat in the library after dinner and read the evening papers together under the droplight; while the younger people went into the drawing-room near by and talked. Miss Highcamp played some selections from Grieg upon the piano. She seemed to have apprehended all of the composer's coldness and none of his poetry. While Edna listened she could not help wondering if she had lost her taste for music. Which best describes the narrative voice of the excerpt? The author uses an objective observer to present a factual telling of the events of the story. The author uses a subjective observer to present subtle judgments about the characters. The author uses the point of view of a character in the story to offer insight into Mrs. Highcamp’s talents. The author uses the point of view of a character in the story to reveal the young people’s disinterest.
Answer:
The author uses a subjective observer to present subtle judgments about the characters.
Explanation:
Kate Chopin's "The Awakening" revolves around the story of Mrs. Edna Pontellier and her inner desires to be her own, do things her way, and express and say whatever she wishes. The story also deals with themes of freedom, society's expectations of women, etc.
In the given excerpt from the novel, the author uses a subjective observer who provides the readers with subtle judgments of the characters. Here, the unknown observer tells us about Miss Highcamp "[who] seemed to have apprehended all of the composer's coldness and none of his poetry." Even Mrs. Pontellier is not left behind. The observer remarks, "While Edna listened she could not help wondering if she had lost her taste for music."
Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
Answer:
B. The author uses a subjective observer to present subtle judgments about the characters.

Which statement accurately compares the diction in andrew jackson "on indian removal" to that in micheal rutledges "samuel's memory"?
Answer:
A. Jackson relies on long, flowing sentences, whereas Rutledge relies on short, direct sentences.
Explanation:
Writing techniques and the use of language are the difference between Andrew Jackson’s address to the Congress and Michael Rutledge’s “Samuel’s Memory”. Jackson’s sentences are long and very often not really to the point, which makes him very intelligent, while on the other hand, Rutledge uses short and simple sentences that are to the point and not go around and around.
Answer: Jackson relies on a sophisticated vocabulary, whereas Rutledge relies on a simple
vocabulary.

The wallpaper in the "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman symbolizes
in the story.
The question is incomplete and the full version can be found online.
Answer:
B. The narrator's mental state
B. feeling of being trapped and her desire to escape
Explanation:
"The Yellow Wallpaper" describes the declining mental health of a woman most likely suffering from post-partum depression. She becomes increasingly obsessed with the patterns of the yellow wallpaper in her bedroom, and starts to believe she can see a creeping woman, trapped behind it.
From the options provided, the one that correctly explains what the wallpaper symbolizes is the narrator's mental state, because the narrator (the woman writing her diary) is having a mental breakdown; the problem is not her social status, physical health, or the relationship with her husband.
From the options provided, the one that correctly explains what the narrator projects onto the woman creeping behind the wallpaper is the feeling of being trapped and her desire to escape because she has been forced to "rest" and is not allowed to leave.
Is not boredom, because she could have lots of things to do in a normal situation, nor anxiety for her baby, because that is not something she expresses and is not a lack of company what she doesn´t like, as she would much prefer to be left alone.

Some plants, such as kudzu, are exotic species. Travelers brought them to the United States, and many are thriving.
Answer:
B. From another country.
Explanation:
The term "exotic" is used to generally refer to something that is unusual, or is a foreign species, not native or locally found. It can be used to refer to things that are not from the local area and are brought from another place, usually a faraway land.

This means that these plants like the kudzu were taken from another country and brought to be planted in the new land. The word "thriving" suggests that they are surviving in the new land, capable of prospering and growing.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
by Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Read the excerpt from The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind the Wind by William Kamkwamba.
No more skipping breakfast; no more dropping out of school. With a windmill, we'd finally release ourselves from the troubles of darkness and hunger. In Malawi, the wind was one of the few consistent things given to us by God, blowing in the treetops day and night. A windmill meant more than just power, it was freedom.
Standing there looking at this book, I decided I would build my own windmill. I'd never built anything like it before, but I knew if windmills existed on the cover of that book, it meant another person had built them. After looking at it that way, I felt confident I could build one, too.
Which phrase or sentence from the excerpt best provides context for the story?
Standing there looking at this book, I decided I would build my own windmill.
After looking at it this way, I felt confident I could build one, too.
No more skipping breakfast, no more dropping out of school.
. . . but I knew if windmills existed on the cover of that book, it meant another person had built them..
Answer:
No more skipping breakfast, no more dropping out of school.
Explanation:
The context of a story is the background or the conditions of how the story began or is based on. It provides details about the story or shed some light on how the present events came to be
In the given excerpt from "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind the Wind", William Kamkwamba provides context for the story in his declaration "No more skipping breakfast, no more dropping out of school." This sentence tells us about his life and how he had come upon the decision to begin making the windmill. He decided that he would no longer skip school or breakfast and that became the starting point for executing his plan.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
Answer:

Is the highlighted verb correct or incorrect if the speaker had been on time, the program would have begun on time.
Answer:
From the given sentence and question, no verb is highlighted, but from the sentence, "If the speaker had been on time, the program would have begun on time", you can see that there is tautology as the word "on time" is used twice in the sentence when it could have been used only once.
Therefore, to correct this tautology, the sentence can be rewritten as: "If the speaker had been on time, the program would have begun early".
As a result of this, there is no incorrect verb form in the sentence, so it is safe to assume that the highlighted verb is correct.
