On which of the following can reflective writing be based?
A. current events
b. people you have known
c. something you have seen or read
D. all of the above
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Explain, in 1 paragraph or more (with at least 5-7 complete, grammatically correct sentences), why studying ancient civilizations such as Greece and Rome is important today. Give 2 examples of ways that some sort of Greek/Roman culture is seen in our own culture. HINT: Think about architecture, the naming of things, inferences you've made in other pieces of literature and/or movies.
Answer:
It is important to keep track of the past and not make the same mistakes. By learning about places like Ancient Greece we could do that. In many places you see pillars, we got those from the Greek. The book series Percy Jackson was based off of Greek Gods as well as the Disney movie Hercules. It is also good to keep the culture alive so with that we integrated some of it into our own.

Read the excerpt from On the Road
One day I was hanging around the campus and Chad and Tim Gray told me Dean was staying in a cold-water pad in
East Harlem, the Spanish Harlem. Dean had arrived the night before, the first time in New York, with his beautiful little
sharp chick Marylou; they got off the Greyhound bus at 50th Street and cut around the corner looking for a place to eat
and went right in Hector's, and since then Hector's cafeteria has always been a big symbol of New York for Dean.
What does this excerpt reveal about the beat generation?
The beat generation was made up of middle-class youth who were seeking work after graduating college.
The beat generation was made up of young people who were just beginning their lives as independent adults.
The beat generation was made up of middle-aged people who had become disillusioned with life.
The beat generation was made up of privileged youth who had begun attending high-profile social events.
Answer:
The beat generation was made up of young people who were just beginning their lives as independent adults.
Explanation:
American writer Jack Kerouac's novel On The Road is a story based on the writer's own travels across America with his friends. Through the characters of Sal Paradise and his friend Dean Moriarty, the story shows a new form/class of generation eager for adventure and carefree attitude.
In the given excerpt from the novel, the narrator Sal mentions how his friend Dean first began his life with his new wife Marylou. This detail about how life began for Dean and the others show how the beat generation were young people who had just started beginning their lives as adults independent from their parents and others.
Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
Answer:
The beat generation was made up of young people who were just beginning their lives as independent adults.

Which of the following should you do to make your persuasive essay stronger?
A. Make sure your opinions are held by the
majority of your readers.
B. Choose a topic that is so current that there are
no sources to back up your thesis.
C. Choose a topic and thesis that can be backed
up by research and other sources.
D. Choose a topic that is factual and that no
reasonable person would argue.
Answer:
Explanation:
c
Hope it helps!
-Delilah
Choose a topic and thesis that can be backed up by research and other sources is important to make your persuasive essay stronger. The correct option is c.
The topic you choose for your persuasive essay should have enough research and reliable sources to back up your thesis statement. The essay's credibility and persuasiveness to the reader are increased by the presentation of thoroughly researched evidence and illustrative arguments.
A powerful persuasive essay uses supported claims, logical arguments and credible sources to persuade the audience and present the author's point of view. Options A, B and D do not add to the persuasive essay's strength because they either rely on the opinions of the majority, lack reliable sources or completely rule out the possibility of making rational arguments and exercising critical thought.

3) How has Katniss been adopted by political parties in the United States?
AJennifer Lawrence in Hunger Games: Catching Fire
'Sure Katniss Everdeen is an idealised fantasy anti-authoriatarian heroine … What she isn’t is either 'girly' or interested in riches.' Photograph: Allstar/Lionsgate/Sportsphoto Ltd
All hail Katniss Everdeen of The Hunger Games trilogy. If you are the mother of a pre-teen girl, you will know the whispered relief around these films. "About time. Go!" If you would like your teenage daughter to see something other than the underclass sobbing on a crass talent show, orange twentysomethings Botoxing themselves, or girls who are just "naturally thin" and who giggle when their clothes just drop off, then you will already know about them. If, like me, you simply would like to see a young woman not defined by her relationship to men, crack open the pick 'n' mix.
Clearly I am not alone. Nor is my youngest. Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games, has had the fourth biggest box office weekend opening in history. Ever since the first film came out, my daughter read the books by Suzanne Collins and we have a shrine to Peeta, Katniss's fellow contestant.
Advertisement
The books are neither warm nor easy, but then dystopian futures of totalitarian states (Panem, as it is called) only work when they're not so far from the imagination. In The Hunger Games, the rich and powerful control the Capitol and dress in grotesque Gaga-ish costumes while the poor live out in the Districts and are treated with increasing contempt.
This is a police state where "peacekeepers" kill and torture. Hegemony is maintained by giving them very little – that's why Katniss learned to hunt illegally – but staging huge spectacles: each District is "reaped" to find two people who are chosen for the televised Hunger Games.
So this is a satire on the kind of TV that its target audience watches. The games are a brutal contest to kill every other contestant. It is the logical conclusion of reality TV: survival of the fittest. At the centre of this is Katniss, played by the sparky Jennifer Lawrence, who is seen on red carpets in apparently awful outfits. What do I know? Every time I read these gown-downs, as I call them, I like the ones the fashionistas hate (Bjork wearing a swan being my all-time favourite). We have seen Lawrence being chatted up on camera by sleazoid Jack Nicholson, who, to be fair, is only three times her age. And we have seen her lose it in front of the paparazzi, screaming: "Stop. Stop. Stop." So she isn't just acting cool, she is cool and aware that she wants to keep her body healthy-looking, not a size zero.

The obligation to be a role model is daunting and modern. I can't remember wanting to be anyone other than Mr Spock and David Bowie. The female bit is blank – my memory is only full of girls I did not want to be or never imagined I could be.
Since then, we pretty much have a roll-call of politically correct heroines, but still have to go some way back to find tough, independent women, from Linda Hamilton in Terminator to Sigourney Weaver in Alien, or Tarantino's fantasy of Uma Thurman in Kill Bill. Japanese cinema has produced some magnificent female characters, and, of course, we rewrite the "final girl" of the horror genre: in which, after several women have been raped/killed/tortured, the final girl turns the table and survives.
Lately though, for teenage girls, we have had Twilight's mopey and passive Bella Swan. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is long gone, so to see Katniss (more akin to Neo in The Matrix) as resilient and smart and reluctantly becoming a symbol of a revolution is quite something. Guys fall in love with her but she really has better things to do: the uprising. Unlike Russell Brand's fluffier talk of revolution, the movies do not shy away from the violence and executions that accompany the suppression of dissent, with the great Donald Sutherland's watery eyes conveying pure evil as the president.
Sure, Katniss is an idealised fantasy anti-authoriatarian heroine. She is also confused, stubborn and vulnerable. What she isn't is either "girly" or interested in riches. She makes her bow and arrows to bring down the system. Nothing is said about gender. She is taller than one of her partners and it's her physical and mental prowess that we root for.

Issues of fairness, equality, and justice are important in the history and cultural values of the United States. What is one current issue that you are passionate about? Provide two or three arguments that support your position and make you passionate about the issue you have chosen.
Answer:
one of the many issues that bothers me the most is how women and men are still treated so differently. Although many say that the issue is improving and that they are getting paid almost equally compared to men still isn’t enough. The fact that is that what we are doing to try to improve equality isn’t enough and isn’t working. Many are still against women having the same rights as men and getting paid the same amount and those people are the ones that are keeping us down and from changing everything entirely.

C. evidence supporting the thesis statement, such as a quotation
G. parenthetical citation
E. comment on the evidence
H. brief restatement of evidence
A. restatement of thesis statement
Explanation:
In a literary analysis essay, the first element that we need is a hook to catch the reader's attention. Once that we have that, we write the thesis statement. Then, it is necessary to mention the evidence that supports the thesis, and we have to make a parenthetical citation where we mention the author, the book, the page, and the year to show that our evidence is real and that the reader can consult it. After presenting the evidence, it is necessary to give our opinion about it. Finally, as we approach the end of the essay, we have to write a summary of the work done and restate the evidence and the thesis statement.
Answer:
1. hook
2. brief summary of the work
3. thesis statement
4. evidence supporting the thesis statement, such as a quotation
5. parenthetical citation
6. comment on the evidence
7. restatement of thesis statement
8. brief restatement of evidence

Victoria is putting down fertilizer in her garden. For every 25 square feet of garden, she needs one pound of fertilizer.
Let p represent the number of pounds of fertilizer.
Let g represent the area, in square feet, of garden she covers.
Which correctly names the independent and dependent variables?
independent variable: number of square feet of garden; dependent variable: number of pounds of fertilizer
independent variable: brand of fertilizer; dependent variable: number of pounds of fertilizer
independent variable: number of pounds of fertilizer; dependent variable: number of square feet of garden covered
independent variable: number of square feet of garden; dependent variable: number of people it takes to put down the fertilizer
Answer:
Independent = number of square feet garden
Dependent = pounds of fertilizer
Explanation:
25^2 feet = 1 pound
Distance usually is independent and weight is usually dependent.
It wouldn't make sense to tell how much you've eaten a month depending on your weight, but rather how much weight you've gain because of the amount you've eaten.
Answer:
independent variable: number of square feet of garden; dependent variable: number of pounds of fertilizer (A) hope this helps (:

gave a great sigh. "Why do you sigh?" said the Fox. The Monkey pointed to the tombs and replied, "All the monuments that you see here were
put up in honour of my forefathers, who in their day were eminent men." The Fox was speechless for a moment, but quickly recovering he said,
"Oh! don't stop at any lie, sir: you're quite safe: I'm sure none of your ancestors will rise up and expose you."
