Read this excerpt from Little Brother and answer the following questions in complete sentences using proper grammar and punctuation: Marcus monoges to flog down o vehide and they get more than they bargained for... It was a military-looking Jeep, like on armored Hummer, only it didn't have any military insignia on it. The car skidded to a stop just in front of me, and jumped back and lost my bolance and ended up on the road. I felt the doors open near me, and then saw a confusion of booted feet moving close by. / looked up and saw a bunch of military-looking guys in coverolls, holding big bulky rifles and wearing hooded gas masks with tinted face-plates. 1 barely had time to register them before those rifles were pointed at me, I'd never looked down the barrel of a gun before, but everything you've heard about the experience is true. You freeze where you are, time stops, and your heart thunders in your ears. I opened my mouth, then shut it then, very slowly, I held my hands up in front of me. The faceless, eyeless armed man above me kept his gun very level. I didn't even breathe. Van was screaming something and Jolu was shouting and / looked ot them for a second and that was when someone put a coarse sock over my head and cinched it tight around my windpipe, so quick and so fiercely I barey had time to gosp before it was locked on me. I was pushed roughy but dispassionately onto my stomach and something went twice around my wrists and then tightened up as well, feeling like boling wire and biting cruelly. I cried out ond my own voice was muffled by the hood. I wos in total darkness now ond / strained my ears to hear what was going on with my friends. I heard them shouting through the muffling canvas of the bog, and then I was being impersonally houled to my feet by my wrists, my arms wrenched up behind my back, my shoulders screaming. I stumbled some then o hond pushed my heod down and I was inside the Hummer. More bodies were roughly shoved in beside me. "Guys?" I shouted, and earned a hard thump on my head for my trouble. I heard ſolu respond, then felt the thump he was dealt too. My head rang like a gong "Hey, I sold to the soldiers. "Hey, listen! We're just high school students. I wanted to flog you down because my friend was bleeding. Someone stabbed him." I had no ideo how much of this wos moking it through the muffling bag. I kept tolking. "Listen-thuis is some kind of misunderstanding. We've got to get my friend to a hospital-" Someone went upside my head again. It felt like they used a baton or something-It was harder than anyone had ever hit me in the neod before My Eyes swom ond wotered and I literally couldnt breathe through the pain. A monient loter. I cought my breath but I didn't say anything. I'd learned my lesson In a paragraph of at least three sentences, describe a confict you have experienced. Identify the choice you had to make. Explain how this conflict changed you (20 points)​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1- Marcus' conflict is related to his friends; he wants to help them but he cannot. First, his friend Darryl has been stabbed and he cannot help him because the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stops him. Darryl gets lost. The DHS takes Marcus and his friends prisoners and torture them. Marcus can hear his friends' cries but cannot help them.

2-Marcus is facing a conflict with the authority. The authority is authoritarian so he cannot do much. He has to obey them. He is physically attacked so he feels cornered. Although he has tried to explain to them his situation, the DHS ignores and tortures him.

3- Marcus ' current stage of identity is foreclosure since he is obliged to do what the DHS tells him to do. He accepts not to rebel against them. He wants to be free and he wants his friends to be free,too. During this identity stage, teenagers tend to  follow what the adults say. Adults sometimes pressure teenagers to accept the roles they want for them.

4- Marcus will rebel against the DHS. He will notice that the DHS is not helping American society against terrorism. He believes they are not reliable ,so he will set an organization to fight against them. Probably, he will show he is more reliable than the DHS to protect America against terrorism.

5-Once at a party , I saw my best friend's fiancé cheating on her. I did not know what to do. My friend was madly in love with him. Finally ,I decided not to tell her anything. I learnt that they had to find a solution without my help.

Answers

Answer:

Time is going by quickly.

Explanation:

The word “swift” means something happening in a quick or rapid manner, as in the quick movement or fast decision. When it is said that the passage of time is swift, it means that time moves quickly.

As time always moves at the same pace, it refers to the feeling that time moves faster than usual or that there is not enough time to do something.

Read this excerpt from Chapter II of Alice in Wonderland. "Good-by, feet! Oh, my poor little feet, I wonder who will put on your shoes and stockings for you now, dears? I shall be a great deal too far off to trouble myself about you." Just at this moment her head struck against the roof of the hall; in fact, she was now rather more than nine feet high, and she at once took up the little golden key and hurried off to the garden door. Poor Alice! It was as much as she could do, lying down on one side, to look through into the garden with one eye; but to get through was more hopeless than ever. She sat down and began to cry again. How does the author use opposites to illustrate how tall Alice is growing? by mentioning Alice’s desire to enter the garden by describing Alice’s head hitting the roof by mentioning that Alice is crying by describing Alice trying to find shoes that fit Hurry!

What is the verb in the sentence: Bring your towel with you on the picnic

Answers

Answer: Bring

Explanation:

A verb is an action word. In this sentence, bring is the only word that's close to being an action.

Answer:

The answer would be bring.

Explanation:

A verb is an action, not like nouns or adjectives and adverbs. Picnic is out because it's the noun and towel is out because it's an intransitive verb. That leaves your, with, you, on, and the. 'The' is the definite article and you is a personal pronoun. With is a preposition and your is a pronoun too but a possessive adj. form and that leaves just on. It is not one thing though, but three, a preposition, adjective, and an adverb. Hope this helps!

Explanation:

A sentence fragment is a group of words that resembles a sentence but isn't actually a complete sentence.

A complete sentence must contain a subject and predicate and express a complete thought. Sentence fragments do not fulfill all of these criteria. They can be corrected by adding a subject or predicate.

The subject is what the sentence is about. It tells us who/what is being described or is performing an action. For example, My brother ignored his friends' pleas not to drive drunk.

The predicate tells us what the subject is doing or describes it. - The destructive puppy, aptly christened Mischief, destroyed the couch.

Write an essay of at least 200 words that explains the significance of Orwell's choice of a farm as the setting of his story.

Answers

Answer:

When Orwell saw a kid whipping a horse, he had an idea: "It struck me that if only such animals became aware of their strength we should have no power over them, and that men exploit animals in much the same way as the rich exploit the proletariat."

Hello, Animal Farm.

On Orwell's Animal Farm-originally Manor Farm-different animals represent different members of the proletariat (working class) or the Russian communist regime. We won't take you through all the details here (see "Symbols, Imagery, Allegory" and the "Character Analyses" for the full lowdown), but the point is that Orwell picked the setting of the farm because it would work well as an allegory.

At the same time, Orwell includes little details like, "the birds jumped on to their perches, the animals settled down in the straw, and the whole farm was asleep in a moment" (1.20). There's no allegorical purpose to these images; they just give the setting a sense of completeness (although may not exactly realism).

But why an English farm rather than, say, a Russian farm? Well, Orwell wasn't just criticizing Stalin. He was also criticizing the myth of Stalinism that intellectuals all over the West believed. By setting it in England, he brought it that much closer to home
