Fall of the House of Usher, excerpt
By Edgar Allan Poe

The room in which I found myself was very large and lofty. The windows were long, narrow, and pointed, and at so vast a distance from the black oaken floor as to be altogether inaccessible from within. Feeble gleams of encrimsoned light made their way through the trellised panes, and served to render sufficiently distinct the more prominent objects around; the eye, however, struggled in vain to reach the remoter angles of the chamber, or the recesses of the vaulted and fretted ceiling. Dark draperies hung upon the walls. The general furniture was profuse, comfortless, antique, and tattered. Many books and musical instruments lay scattered about, but failed to give any vitality to the scene. I felt that I breathed an atmosphere of sorrow. An air of stern, deep, and irredeemable gloom hung over and pervaded all.

Read these lines from the text:

Based on the paragraph, why does it seem that Swift wanted to help the Irish?
WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!

"Swift's Ireland was a country that had been effectively controlled by England for nearly 500 years. The Stuarts had established a Protestant governing aristocracy amidst the country's relatively poor Catholic population. Denied union with England in 1707 (when Scotland was granted it), Ireland continued to suffer under English trade restrictions and found the authority of its own Parliament in Dublin severely limited. Swift, though born a member of Ireland's colonial ruling class, came to be known as one of the greatest of Irish patriots. He, however, considered himself more English than Irish, and his loyalty to Ireland was often ambivalent in spite of his staunch support for certain Irish causes. The complicated nature of his own relationship with England may have left him particularly sympathetic to the injustices and exploitation Ireland suffered at the hands of its more powerful neighbor."

Answers

Answer:

Because I belive Swift wanted Ireland to be a independent country out of the hands of England.

In this excerpt from a video transcript, which two parts demonstrate the use of emotional appeal as a persuasive technique?
NARRATOR:
As Arctic ice continues to melt, it will cause ripple effects across the planet. When the polar regions warm, even just a degree, it disturbs
atmospheric and oceanic pattern
The patterns of the jet stream will be affected, which may lead to more extreme summer and winter weather events in Europe, Asia, and North
America. Not only will our weather change, but sea level will rise too.
Sea ice melt itself does not cause sea levels to rise because the ice is already in the water. But the melting of ice on a land surface, like
Greenland, does because new water is flowing into the ocean. In addition, as ocean water warms, it expands, which also raises sea level.
Warmer air temperatures will accelerate the melting of Greenland's ice sheet, which contains enough ice to raise global sea levels by more than
20 feet.
Sea ice creates a unique ecosystem that supports millions of plants and animals, from krill and ice algae to cod and walruses. Both the topside
and underside of the ice provides places for the animals to hunt hide, rest, mate, and give birth.
Without sea ice, arctic plants and animals must either adapt or migrate. If they can't, they will go extinct.
If that isn't enough, people who live in coastal communities within the Arctic Circle are also battling erosion along their coastlines.
Sea ice serves as a buffer against wave action. Without it, the wind blows across a larger region of open water, resulting in stronger winds and
bigger waves that erode the shoreline.
These communities must relocate inland or their homes and land could be washed out to sea.
For ice in the Arctic, it's a race against time. If humans do not change what we are doing to the global climate, the ice will continue to disappear
and life as we know it will be altered.

What are the amplitude, period, and phase shift of the given function?
Ft) = -4 sin (7t + 3)

Answers

Answer:

Amplitude: 4

Period: 0.898 seconds.

Phase shift: 6.142 radians.

Explanation:

A sinusoidal function is defined by the following model:

[tex]F(t) = A\cdot \sin (\omega\cdot t + \phi)[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]A[/tex] - Amplitude.

[tex]\omega[/tex] - Angular frequency, measured in radians per second.

[tex]\phi[/tex] - Phase shift, measured in radians.

We need to transform the given function into this form by trigonometric means. The following trigonometric identity is used:

[tex]-\sin \theta = \sin (\theta + \pi)[/tex] (2)

Then,

[tex]F(t) = -4\cdot \sin (7\cdot t + 3)[/tex]

[tex]F(t) = 4\cdot \sin (7\cdot t +3+\pi)[/tex]

Then, the following information is found:

[tex]A = 4[/tex], [tex]\omega = 7\,\frac{rad}{s}[/tex], [tex]\phi = (3+\pi)\,rad[/tex]

The period of the given function ([tex]T[/tex]), measured in seconds, is determined by the following formula:

[tex]T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}[/tex] (3)

[tex]T = \frac{2\pi}{7}[/tex]

[tex]T \approx 0.898\,s[/tex]

Then, the following information is found:

Amplitude: 4

Period: 0.898 seconds.

Phase shift: 6.142 radians.

Were you surprised by the twist at the end of the story? What does it change about your views on Alexander's struggle for liberation? What specific events now appear in a new light?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

This question is about "A soldier for the crown"

1. The turnaround at the end surprises the reader, since that is what the twists and turns in narrative works are for. This surprise is caused by all the suspense that the author imposes on the work, which besides being dramatic, stimulates the reader's reactions.

2. Alexander's struggle for liberation is more important so that her life is not only full, but that she has the minimum possible quality of life that only liberation can provide.

3. With that, all the actions that Alexandrer (Doroth) become clearer, we were able to analyze the character more deeply and understand all the positions, arguments and opinions that she has.

can someone please write a hook for the topic, should junk food be banned at school?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

BANNING JUNK FOOD AND SODAS IN SCHOOLS

Banning of junk foods and sodas in school has been contentious given the benefits and setbacks it has in the economic, social and nutritional aspects. The foods are generally characterized by a low nutritional value and their abundance of salt, sugar and calories. The emphasis on their use in educational institutions is mainly due to the high level of consumption given the large populations in them, and the early exposure to health conditions that are proven to result from junk foods and sodas.

One of the reasons why junk foods and sodas should be banned is because they facilitate health conditions such as obesity, which is a predisposing factor to heart diseases, diabetes and high blood pressure. 20% of adult Americans are obese, and about 300,000 people die annually from complications related with being overweight.

Once young people are encouraged to adopt health foods, future generations will have the culture of eating nutritious foods. It is evident that promoting and selling junk foods and sodas endorse their usage among students. Students spend most of their daytime in schools, an institution that is entrusted with the laying of firm foundations across various aspects, including healthy habits. Consequently, the converse promotion of healthy foods will be quickly embraced by students and hence a healthier society.

However, banning of junk foods and sodas is faced by some issues, the first being the actual definition of junk foods. It is inefficient to just state kinds of junk foods. Contrary, junk foods should be defined from the ingredients since some foods like pizzas can be considerably be either junk or nutritious.

The education system in America is designed to provide for communities control over schools. The control is rooted in democracy. School board members are bestowed with the responsibilities to develop policies that reflect the needs and opinions of the society. As such, the decision on what to be availed to students is determined by the board members, making the decision inapplicably determinable at national levels.

Banning of junk foods and sodas is further limited by the approach in its implementation. The ban includes removing the option for the foods instead of educating on making appropriate healthy choices. Therefore, teaching about nutrition could be a better way of approaching consequences of the use of junk foods and sodas. It is conclusive that the despite the effects of junk foods and sodas being profoundly adverse, banning them in schools may not be an adequate measure of counteracting their use.

Based on this passage from The Scarlett Ibis,


That summer, the summer of 1918, was blighted. In May and June there was no rain and the crops withered, curled up, then died under the thirsty sun. One morning in July a hurricane came out of the east, tipping over the oaks in the yard and splitting the limbs of the elm trees. That afternoon it roared back out of the west, blew the fallen oaks around, snapping their roots and tearing them out of the earth like a hawk at the entrails of a chicken. Cotton bolls were wrenched from the stalks and lay like green walnuts in the valleys between the rows, while the cornfield leaned over uniformly so that the tassels touched the ground. Doodle and I followed Daddy out into the cotton field, where he stood, shoulders sagging, surveying the ruin. When his chin sank down onto his chest, we were frightened, and Doodle slipped his hand into mine. Suddenly Daddy straightened his shoulders, raised his giant knuckly fist, and with a voice that seemed to rumble out of the earth itself began cursing heaven, hell, the weather, and the Republican Party. Doodle and I, prodding each other and giggling, went back to the house, knowing that everything would be all right.

Answers

Answer:

B. One morning in July a hurricane came out of the east...

Explanation:

Imagery is a tool many writers use to help their readers visualize what is going on in the story. Using figurative and descriptive language, they describe things in a way that appeals to our five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. This makes the story more vivid, making it feel more real.

The phrase that is not an example of sensory imagery is phrase B. It simply tells us about an occurrence. It doesn't contain any details that could appeal to our senses, unlike other phrases. The first phrase helps us imagine withered crops dying because of the heat; the second describes how the narrator's father cursed, and the third makes us picture two young boys teasing each other and giggling on their way back home.

This is why option B is the correct one.
