Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Nights and Dragons— From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed. The text discusses the Chinese calendar by writing, "Dragons are included along with eleven real animals." What is the main idea of the passage?
Answer:
The main idea of the text is that dragons may have existed in real life and that science is not enough to prove it or not.
Explanation:
The text shows that although science determines that dragons did not exist, many ancient cultures describe this animal together with the animals we know in real life. Furthermore, these cultures are different from each other, many of them show no similarities. Which proves that dragons may have been real animals, seen by ancient societies, but now extinct, or not.

OBENTO: ART IN A LUNCH BOX
by Teresa V. Mitchum2016
At school in Japan, children bring a boxed lunch known as obento. In this informational text, Teresa V. Mitchum provides information about what lunchtime looks like for children in Japan. As you read, take notes on how parents prepare obento for their children.
WHAT’S SO MUCH FUN ABOUT LUNCHTIME IN JAPAN?
Japanese kids eat a good-looking lunch. They carry lunches to school in bento boxes. Their boxed lunch is called obento (oh-BEN-toe).
Bento boxes are small containers made out of plastic, wood, or metal. Sometimes they have sections to separate the food.
The bento boxes are usually decorated with cartoon characters, animals, or flowers. They have matching chopsticks or silverware containers, bags, cups, and lunch mats.
PRETTY FOOD
Inside the bento box, the obento is just as colorful. Many Japanese people believe that all food should taste good and look pretty. There
Hello. You forgot to ask the question associated with that text. The question is:
PART A: What is the central idea of the text?
A. Japanese children eat healthier lunches than American children.
B. Obento focuses on how food looks, rather than how it tastes or its nutrition.
C. Great thought and care is put into obento lunches for children in Japan.
D. Parents use bento boxes as a way to express their love to their children.
Answer:
Great thought and care is put into obento lunches for children in Japan.
Explanation:
The text shows how the Japanese take children's food seriously, creating lunch boxes called obento, which besides being very beautiful (attracting children's attention) have a nutritious, delicious and as beautiful food as the lunch box itself. This encourages children to eat, become strong and have enough energy to study effectively. In other words, the text shows how the Japanese have a strong regard and care for children's food.
It's also when you eat and how much you eat. And while we can all sympathize with the need to have things fast and easy in our busy lives, nutritionists say eating well is actually not that hard. It just takes planning and, some would say, a little help from the village.

Persuasive Speech
Introduction
A. Imagine going out to eat at a restaurant, and you read entrees like "fried human legs" and "human baby parmesan."
B. I believe the world would be a happier, healthier, more humane place if everyone were vegetarian -- you should become one!
C. Today I am going to enlighten you all about the animal cruelty involved with food processing that goes on behind closed doors, and the healthier lifestyle of being vegetarian.
[First let me tell you a little bit about what else your are eating when you choose to eat meat.]
Body
A. Every year billions of animals are raised and slaughtered for human consumption. In today’s factory farms animals are confined to extremely small spaces so farmers can concentrate on maximizing production.
1. This over crowding breeds disease, so the animals are fed antibiotics and sprayed with pesticides.
2. The animals are also fed growth hormones.
3. So, the chemicals, antibiotics and hormones are passed on to the consumers.
4. USDA fact sheet, bacterial contamination of animal products often causes illness and death. Salmonella poisoning can be fatal.
5. Time Magazine, bad chicken is responsible for at least 1,000 American deaths each year.
[Now, here are some more disturbing facts you should know about meat production.]
B. According to the Animal Protection Institute, in the U.S. alone, every year 41.8million beef cattle, 115 million pigs, and 8.785 billion chickens are slaughtered for human consumption. The animals endure much more.
1. Beef cattle called "downers" are prodded or dragged to the slaughterhouse, or left without food or water to die.
2. Pigs are stunned, hung upside down before their throats are cut and bled to death. If missed, they go to the scalding tank where they may be boiled alive.
3. Crowed, chickens peck each other to death. Instead of providing space farmers "debeak" them by cutting off their upper beak with a hot blade.
4. I would like to show you some photos taken inside a slaughterhouse.
[If animal cruelty is not enough to change your mind, then maybe your own health concerns will make a difference.]
C. Studies show meat-eaters are twice as likely to die from heat disease, and 60% more likely to die from cancer than vegetarians.
1. Meat consumption has been linked to many diseases, osteoporosis, diabetes, kidney disease, hypertension, and obesity.
2. Quoted by William Roberts, MD, editor and chief of The American Journal Of Cardiology, "When we kill animals to eat them, they end up killing us because their flesh, which contains cholesterol and saturated fat, was never intended for human beings, who are natural herbivores."
Conclusion
I hope that I have enlightened you all about the matters of vegetarianism, and I hope you all will make the right moral and health decisions as I have. Quote by Leonardo de Vinci, "I have, from an early age renounced eating meat. The time will come when we will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of humans.
Review the persuasive speech outline.
If this speech was given to an audience full of people who worked for the cattle industry, what would the speaker have to accomplish?
a.
motivate them to become meat eaters
b.
change their beliefs about meat
c.
weaken the audience’s attitude towards vegetables
d.
strengthen the audience’s attitude towards meat
Which excerpt from The Odyssey best demonstrates the importance of perseverance in Greek society? Long ships with good stout planks athwart—would fighters rig them to ride the barren sea, except for hunger? “I learned to keep my head in hardship—years of war and years at sea. Let this new trial come.” The young men, afterward, hunted wild goats with him, and hare, and deer, but he had grown old in his master's absence. No man of woman born could work these wonders by his own craft, unless a god came into it with ease to turn him young or old at will.

Write a journal entry about your impressions of the main character, Squeaky. What aspects of Squeaky’s personality would make you want, or not want, to be her friend? Use specific details from the story in your response.
Your response should be about 150 words long.
Answer: Here ya go
Explanation: I would want to be her friend becuase of her determination and kind spirit. She shows passion in all she does. She takes care of her brother while balancing school and running. She is courageous and strong. She feels misunderstood and I would show her that she is beautiful and deserves to be seen as such. She stands up for others and wants to complete her dreams. She changes her way of life to protect herself and her brother from being bullied. She misses her parents and the country. When she wins, she is not boastful. When she wins the 500-yard dash, she is happy but does not gloat. She smiles at her rival who got second place. Her change of heart shows how genuine and kind she is. She can do anything she sets her mind to as long as stays strong. She is caring and determined.
Answer:
When you read about the character Squeaky, what do you notice about him/her. Are they overprotective, or mean. Are they the main character, a side character, or the antagonist (the bad guy). And based off of how they act, would you want to be their friend? You can also cite evidence on whether you want to or not. For example if the text said, "She snarled at him. "You'll never be able to do this!"" This sentence is making her sound mean. In the passage she might not be mean but this is just an example. Would you want to be friends with someone who is discouraging you? I wouldn't. That's an example.

Which of the following is NOT something that the hero
necessarily encounters on their journey?
A potential failure
B
new friends
Cdifficult obstacles
D
romantic love
Answer:
D
Explanation:
I hope this helps!
A hero may not necessarily encounter romantic love on their journey.
The stages of a hero, titled "The Hero’s Journey" is a set of observations made by Joseph Campbell where he lists the different stages or parts of a hero's life or journey. The list also made it easier for the readers to navigate and understand the hero and their journey.
In his observation, Campbell starts the list with the hero's separation from his family and friends and embarking on a call to adventure. This call would then take him to further courses, while also encountering allies, enemies, and even close friends.Also, the hero would encounter obstacles that will test his courage, bravery and strength. But while going through his journey, meeting a potential romantic love is not something that a hero necessarily encounters.A hero's journey need not necessarily include a romantic love interest. But what it includes is the call to adventure and the numerous encounters either with allies or enemies. Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Paragraph 9 is important to the plot because it conveys that Janie
A- admits that she does not have a good recollection of the farm field trip
B- is disappointed that farm life is not how it appears in books
C- is worried that her parents may have made a poor decision
D- acknowledges that her view of living on a farm was limited
Answer:
D- acknowledges that her view of living on a farm was limited.
Explanation:
Paragraph 9 is important to the plot because it conveys that Janie acknowledges that her view of living on a farm was limited.
She does acknowledges that when she said "I had no idea of what I was talking about. My farm experience consisted of one field trip..." This shows that her view was limited. This is the reason she was somewhat skeptical about her suggestion to her parents. She felt like her one field trip and the pictures in the book still made her view of living in the farm limited. But it later dawned on her that her suggestion struck a chord in her parents.
