Essay Question
Respond to the following prompt thoroughly in a well-written paragraph. Use specific examples from the novel.
Scrooge is a dynamic character in A Christmas Carol. Through this change, Scrooge comes into contact with the same three people from Stave One. How do Scrooge's reaction to these character and his interaction change after meeting the three ghosts?
Scrooge is shown visions by the three spirits. After that, he changes his character completely. He realizes that he has not been behaving well and he mends his ways.
- Scrooge is a rare example of a character who can be considered flat yet dynamic. He undergoes a complete transformation, finally becoming the exact opposite of who he was at the beginning of the story, yet he remains something of a caricature.
Thesis Statement:
Our local waterways are severely polluted, and actions must be taken to reduce the runoff that contributes to this pollution.
Which of the following is the best example of a topic sentence for an essay with this thesis?
1) Rain gardens are particularly useful near solid surfaces such as parking lots.
2) Rain gardens are located in 30 percent of the residential parkways in Allentown, Ill.
3) Rain gardens include plants and materials that help absorb water into the ground before it is washed into sewers.
4) Rain gardens are a natural way to reduce storm water runoff that pollutes local waterways
Answer:
I would say the answer is number 4: Rain gardens are a natural way to reduce storm water runoff that pollutes local waterways
Explanation:
A topic sentence is meant to express the main idea of a paragraph, so I already scratch off number 1 and 2, since they do not have to do with polluted waterways and actions to stop it. This would mean it is between number 3 and 4. Although number 3 gives information about rain gardens, it does not mention that they are a way to stop or reduce pollution in local waterways. Therefore, the answer is number 4. I hope this helped!

Explanation:
Major cities all over the world are changing color. The tall gray buildings that make up the landscape of urban environments are becoming greener. They aren't getting a fresh coat of paint. Instead, their roofs are being covered in grass and small shrubbery. Many rooftops are beginning to look like nature parks. This change isn't just for fun. It is an attempt to add plants that can clean city air, absorb waste water, and generally add beauty to the city environment.
Green roofs started in Europe and are now gaining a strong foothold in the United States. They are a way to add a little nature to the city environment. People plant vegetable gardens, flowers, and decorative grasses on their rooftops. One green roof in New York City is built on top of a processing and distribution facility. It is the largest green roof in the country. It has survived snow and rain, given employees a beautiful place for a lunch break, and helped clean the city air.
It is more expensive to build a green roof than it is to lay asphalt or shingles. The basic green roof requires a frame and a waterproof membrane. It also requires gravel for drainage. Special material needs to be laid to retain moisture. Of course, soil for planting and a barrier that prevents roots from penetrating the building are also necessary materials for a green roof. Despite the extra cost, the trend is growing.
The city of Chicago now has more green roofs than any other U.S. city. There are 7 million square feet of green roofs planted across the city. Toronto, Canada, is the first city in the western hemisphere to mandate green roofs on all new tall buildings. Green roofs are beneficial to the environment and the cities that build them. A recent study in Toronto suggested that if 75 percent of the flat roofs were greened, the city could save $37 million a year on storm water management and energy bills. If this is true, we may begin to see more and more green added to cities around the world.
What evidence does the author use to support the idea that green roofs are beneficial despite their cost?
A. It is more expensive to build a green roof than it is to lay asphalt or shingles on a roof.
B. Green roofs started in Europe and are now gaining a strong foothold in the United States.
C. The city could save $37 million a year on storm water management and energy bills.
D. Toronto, Canada, is the first city in the western hemisphere to mandate green roofs.

Quote: "Youth is the seed time of good habits, as well in nations as in individuals"
How does Thomas Paine compare a nation’s youth with an individual’s youth?
For Thomas Paine, both a young nation and a young individual are elements that are building and preparing their own future.
We can arrive at this answer because:
Paine compares youth to a seedbed.This is because the seedbed has elements that will develop in the future and show satisfactory results.For him, both a young person and a young nation are similar and represent a seedbed of the same course.That's because Paine believes that a young person is preparing his own future, creating strategies that will develop and have satisfactory results. A young nation, on the other hand, is made up of a group of people, of all ages, who care about the nation's future and therefore work to make that future as promising as possible.

Golden Days
by Lizzie Lawson
There are days of summer sunshine,
Of warm and sunny weather,
When the hedge is full of hawthorn
And hills are glad with heather.
There are days of silent sadness,
Of frost, and snow, and rain,
When we fear that summer's gladness
Will never come again.
And now our songs are minor key,
And now in merry tune;
The windward side will change to lee,
And January to June.
Day and night the sun is shining,
Though he may hide his head;
Each cloud has a silver lining,
The flowers are asleep not dead.
Every day may have its playtime
Made bright by cheerful lays;
And life be one long Maytime,
A year of golden days.
Read the theme.
Life, like nature, has pleasant and unpleasant moments.
How does this theme develop over the course of "Golden Days"?
Happiness is like the warmth of summer, and sadness is like the coldness of winter.
The playtime of spring helps people feel alive and excited again after a long winter.
The seasons are all rewarding and pleasant in their own unique ways.
Nature and life are both unpredictable, especially during winter and summer months.

What are poems?Poems which are also called verse are a form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre to evoke meanings in addition to, or place of, a prosaic ostensible meaning. A poem is a literary composition, written by a poet, using this principle.
Poetry has a long and varied history, evolving differentially across the globe. It dates back at least to prehistoric times with hunting poetry in Africa and to panegyric and elegiac court poetry of the empires of the Nile, Niger, and Volta River valleys. Some of the earliest written poetry in Africa occurs among the Pyramid Texts written during the 25th century BCE.
The earliest surviving Western Asian epic poetry, the Epic of Gilgamesh, was written in Sumerian.

Answer:
I haven't read the book, but I believe it would make sense to say it's D, he found a candy bar

If it's been three days, it'd be likely that he already got whatever he needed from the plane after the crash and that he'd already had figured out how to catch rabbits because what else would he eat to survive? That would leave you with either option C or D, and I find it logical to go with D, but just remember that your answer is your own choice and that mine could very well be incorrect.

Which character’s description of the planet turned out to be right in the end? Was the planet a horrible “wasteland” or an “ocean of possibilities”? And could the crew have realized the truth sooner? Provide evidence from the text to support your answers.
Answer:
Cassie was correct, the planet was a wasteland. The crew could not have realized the truth sooner because without stepping foot on the planet, they wouldn't have known it would collapse. To support this, here's a quote from the passage: "But just as the probe released its sampling arm, the dark spot split down the middle, pulling back to reveal a huge amber eye. The terrain around the probe rose up like mud-encased claws, pulling it down into what could only be described as a mouth, if a planet could have such a thing. Sighs turned to horrified gasps as the probe disappeared in one quick gulp." (Mystery Planet, paragraph 10.)
Explanation:
The quote above is from the passage, paragraph 10 and clearly explains the planet collapsing. I did the assignment.
I hope this helped, here's a screenshot of the quote from the passage!
The correct response is - The planet was a wasteland, and Cassie was right. Since they wouldn't have known the planet would disintegrate without setting foot on it, the crew could not have learned the reality sooner. Here is a passage quotation to prove my point: But as soon as the probe raised its sample arm, a black area split in half and pulled back, exposing a massive amber eye.
