Now the girl again seeks out the tree: though trembling still, she would not fail his tryst; with eyes and soul she looks for Pyramus; she wants to tell her lover how she had escaped such perils. She finds the place – the tree's familiar shape; but seeing all the berries' color changed, she is not sure. —"Pyramus and Thisbe," Ovid Read the passage. Which statement best describes how the pacing of events heightens tension? The fast pace of the events does not allow the readers to think for themselves.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!
At first, Ebenezer Scrooge thought that the reason why Marley's ghost had appeared was indigestion. The ghost spoke to Ebenezer and so Scrooge thought that another reason for this ghost to be there was the friendship these two men once had.
Ebenezer Scrooge kept trying to rationalize what had happened, and the more he tried to put his thoughts to rest the more he kept thinking about it.
Scrooge was trying really hard to give a reasonable and believable explanation to Marley's ghost appearance.
Yes, he thought he was dreaming when he saw his partner's ghost: "Marley" who was punished to wander the earth for his selfishness and greed; to save Scrooge, Marley informed him that he would be visisted by three ghosts. Scrooge fell in a deep dream. For that reason believed, it just was a dream.

Bartleby spends his time in an office where the only window has a view of a brick wall.
Final answer:
The setting of Wall Street in Melville’s "Bartleby the Scrivener" is significant because it reflects the themes of society, isolation, and oppression.

Which statement best explains how the language in Stanza 6 evokes a sense of the time in which this poem is set?
Open the envelope quickly,
O this is not our son’s writing, yet his name is sign’d,
O a strange hand writes for our dear son, O stricken
mother’s soul!
It describes the handwriting in the letter as being that of a stranger rather than that of their son, indicating that the poem takes place after their son is already gone.
It includes language describing a personally written letter, indicating that the poem depicts a time when writing letters by hand was a primary way to communicate.
It uses words and spellings that are no longer commonplace in poetry, indicating that the poem takes place in medieval times.
It uses words such as strange and soul, indicating that the poem takes place long ago.
It describes the handwriting in the letter as being that of a stranger rather than that of their son, indicating that the poem takes place after their son is already gone. This option evokes a sense of time in which this poem is set. Walt Whitman wrote this poem , " Come up from the Fields Father", during the Reconstruction Years in the U.S after the Civil War (1861-1865). Whitman himself wrote letters for wounded soldiers when he worked at the hospital. He knew about this situation and he wanted to show this in this poem. The fact that the letter had been written by a stranger reflected that the woman's son had probably died or was seriously wounded. His arms or hands could have been amputated. All this would cause a terribly pain in the mother and the rest of the family. Whitman wanted to express the effects of the Civil War horrors mainly on the soldiers' families.

It includes language describing a personally written letter, indicating that the poem depicts a time when writing letters by hand was a primary way to communicate.

Describe an advertisement to others in the discussion group. The ad can be in print, video, or audio and can come from a print, online, radio, or television source. Describe how the ad attempts to or succeeds in persuading the audience through its rhetorical devices and use of color, sound, and images. Who is the audience? What is the ad's purpose? Why was it made? Discuss ads that others in the discussion group describe.
The advertisement I'm going to discuss is one of the latest Nike's video ads. This ad is narrated by Colin Kaepernick, NFL player who in 2016 protested against racial inequality by kneeling during the national anthem before a game.
The ad starts by showing a skater falling over and over again while trying to skate on a rail. Meanwhile Kaepernick talks about not letting people convince you out of your dreams because they think your dreams are crazy.
The video shows a muslin woman boxing, a woman in a wheelchair playing basketball, and many more people. The voiceover invites you to be the best ever, to dream the biggest dream.
The video is highly persuading, it uses real life examples of people who have excelled in sports through the biggest adversities and links them subtly to Nike, just by adding their slogan at the end. The video ends with the phrase "It's only crazy until you do it. Just do it".
The images are highly moving, a NFL player without hand making a touch down(sp?), a kid with no legs fighting in a competition. Kaepernick speaking to the camera while saying, "believe in something even if it means sacrificing everything" referring to the career he lost for protesting injustice.
The music is inspiring, slow with piano and violin. The ad uses the idea of an underdog reaching the highest levels of excellence in sports, and it features many people of color going along the lines of Kaepernick's experience. Its idea is that despite unfairness of circumstances you can still succeed. It uses a repetition of the phrase "don't be this be that (the best)", which is an anaphora and creates parallelism and rhythm. And also is a hyperbole since it exaggerates the examples.
The audience is people who do sports, and specially those who identify as underdogs, those who don't have that many opportunities for whatever reason. It was made to become viral because it is controversial, specially with the current political climate in the US. Many people were offended that they used Kaepernick in the video, people misunderstood his protest with anti-nationalism. The video indeed went viral
I will describe the Gillette commercial called "The Best Men can Be" (Jan 13, 2019).
This ad attempts to persuade the audience by placing images of men behaving in negative ways that are associated with masculinity, followed by images in which men behave in kinder and fairer ways. The music that is used is inspiring, and the images are very slow in order to allow the viewer to fully appreciate the scene.The audience of the ad is both men and women, but the ad is particularly directed towards men, who are the people who buy Gillette products the most. The ad is meant to persuade men to check their behaviour, and to let go of "masculine" habits that might be damaging. It also attempts to invite everyone to reflect on these behaviours.The ad was made as a response to the growth of the feminist movement and the desire to reflect on gender stereotypes. The ad was also made to show that Gillette agrees with much of what the movement states.Circle the conjunction and predicte

Where does the old man and the sea take place? The South Pacific Cuba California New England
cuba- near havana i read and earlier haha
The correct answer is B. Cuba.
Explanation
The Oldman and The Sea is the main story written by Ernest Hemingway in 1952 who, inspired by his life as a fisherman in Cuba, wrote the novel that would bring him back to the literary world. The Oldman and The Sea is a short novel of only 27,000 words and about 110 pages about an old fisherman and his agonizing fight against a huge marlin.
This book was published for the first time in Life magazine on August 28, 1952. This story brought him a Pulitzer Prize and would consecrate him as a worthy Nobel Prize winner, which he would obtain in 1954. After the immense success of this short story, he continued to live in Cuba, although his stay was now interrupted by visitors and readers who came to Finca Vigía, the home of Hemingway in Cuba, to see him. It is believed that this story is based on his best friend on the island, an old and experienced Cuban fisherman named Gregorio Fuentes. So, the correct answer is B. Cuba.

Colin has volunteered at the animal shelter at least three time.
Which verb tense does the sentence contain?
A.Past
B.Past perfect
C.Present
D.present perfect
The answer is: D. present perfect
The Present Perfect tense is formed with the auxiliary verbs has or have, followed by the past participle. It is usually used to talk about experiences at an indefinite time in the past.
The rest of the options are incorrect because the verb volunteer in the past form is volunteered; in the past perfect it is had volunteered, and in the present simple tense it would be (Colin) volunteers.
She gasped with excitement and shouted over the noise of the helicopter, "The islands in the sky are real." Finish this story in about 150 - 200 words.
She reached over and shook her dad, who was driving the helicopter. "Dad, dad!" She yelled over the helicopter. "We have to land! Please!". Her dad gave her a shrug as if to say, Sorry can't hear you. Emily pointed at the islands and her dad nodded. The helicopter veered left and landed gently onto one of the floating islands. Emily stumbled out in excitiment. She whooped in delight. "Dad! Your stories are real, the floating islands!" She jumped about. When suddenly she blacked out.

Final answer:
Discovering the islands in the sky, the helicopter passenger is awed by the beauty and distinctness of each island, realizing she is part of a legendary realm above the clouds.
Explanation:
As the helicopter whirred and the islands hoisted above the clouds stood boldly against the sky, her excitement was palpable. "The islands in the sky are real," she repeated, the awe in her voice mirroring the splendor of the sight. The world unfurled below them, a tapestry of lush greenery and cobalt blue waters that sparkled under the caress of the sun. The islands, like floating emerald jewels, commanded the skies—a realm where the birds soared and humans could only dream of reaching.
These lofty mountains were a far cry from the modest peaks she had known. Each island was distinct, with summits veiled in silver mist and valleys teeming with unknown flora. The vibrant calls of unseen creatures intertwined with the rustle of leaves, composing an orchestra that celebrated the majesty of this untouched paradise. It was not just the visual grandeur; it was the feeling of being part of something greater, a fleeting guest in nature’s secret sanctum.
Their journey continued, the helicopter weaving through the colossal peaks. She realized that the legends were real, and more importantly, she was part of it—no longer a distant observer but a vibrant character in the story of the sky islands. Every climb, every exploration had led to this moment—the discovery of a world above worlds, suspended in serene defiance of gravity, a testament to the boundless wonders of our planet.

His lawyer suddenly interrupted my thoughts questions by busting out what is wrong with this sentence
I believe the sentence should be: "His lawyer interrupted my thoughts with questions by bursting out."
Remove suddenly and add 'with.'
Answer:
The problem that is given by this sentence is mainly word organization, the way that the words are ordered in the sentence make it seem like there is a grammatical error, when in truth, it can be better expressed by organizing words.
Thus, the sentence should read as follows: His lawyer suddenly interrupted my thoughts by busting out questions.
This is so because the last clause, after the use of "by" tends to explain the reason why the thoughts of the speaker in the sentence were interrupted by the sudden questions being busted out by the lawyer. By organizing the clause, with the pronoun first, and then the explanatory clause, we can understand then why the person´s thoughts were interrupted, without having to alter the sentence grammatically or verbally.

Mrs. Ramirez (heaving a sigh and loudly exhaling): And what have I told you about that?
Juan: I know, I know. Wiffle balls in the yard, baseballs at the park.
Mrs. Ramirez: Well, a wiffle ball would not have broken Mr. Nguyen’s ornamental bird bath.

The line that says „heaving a sigh and loudly exhaling” (B) contains satage directions that reveal emotion. By this line, you can notice maybe the tiredness of the woman after his son diboyed her. Even though she previously told him what should he do, or in this case not do, the guy decided to do it anyways leading it into unpleasant results. The woman doing this sigh and her notorious exhaling, she might be dissapointed as much as she is tired.

which plant traps bugs in its stem and forces them to walk forward?
The Pitcher plant traps bugs in its stem with a slippery wax lining. The insects slip into a pool where they're digested by bacteria, providing nutrients for the plant. This is an expression of thigmotropism, where movement is triggered by touch.
Explanation:The plant that traps bugs in its stem and forces them to walk forward is the Pitcher plant. This plant's unique structure includes a stem that acts like a trap. Bugs are lured by its nectar but encounter a slippery wax lining, which causes them to slip into a pool of water at the bottom of the stem. This is where they are digested by bacteria. The plant subsequently absorbs the nutrients. This carnivorous feeding mechanism compensates for the scarce nutrients in its natural, usually boggy, habitat.
Thigmotropism is a plant behavior visible in this case. It refers to movement in response to touch. Thanatosis is illustrated by insects that ingest toxins secreted by the plant, rendering them immobile.
