Answer:
1.It is fair. 2. If he had been stopped by the police, he would've been to juvenile hall. 3. If his mother had discovered the theft she would've probably taken him out of the team. 4. If he had never been caught he would still have the belief that getting what he needed at all costs was alright. 5. Because he would've been scared and learned a lesson as well.
Explanation:
The way that Coach punished Ghost was fair since he needed to be called out to know that what he did was wrong. If he had been stopped by the police, he would've gone to juvenile hall. If his mom had discovered the theft, she would perhaps be mad and don't listen to Ghost's reasons, she could've grounded him and taken him out of the team that he loves. If he had never been caught, he would've probably become a real thief in the future. It might have been better for him to get caught since he could've gotten scared and never would've done it again.
Which sentence best expresses the
meaning of the following aphorism?
"For all sad words of tongue and pen, the
saddest are these, 'It might have
been.'"- Whittier
A sentence that can show the meaning of the aphorism shown in the question above is: It is better to do something than to regret never having done it.
This is because the aphorism shown in the question above shows that when we stop doing something, for fear of the result, we will feel very sad because we will wonder what could have happened if we had done that something. Furthermore, the aphorism states that this feeling is the saddest of all.
It is important to emphasize what an aphorism is, as this word refers to a sentence that conveys a moral principle.
In this case, we can conclude that the phrase "It's better to do something than to regret never having done" manages to express the same meaning as the aphorism, since it shows that the regret of not having done something is more painful than the doubt about what it would be the result if that action had been taken.

Read an essay about Edgar Allan Poe's story "The Black Cat" and look for weaknesses in the writing. Describe how the writer should revise the word, and edit the essay for errors in capitalization, spelling, and punctuation.
Explanation:
Phrases to be corrected:
-"The story revolves around the psychology of guilt and a murderer who commits a crime and is able to hide it."
The most concrete idea would be:
The story revolves around the psychology of a murderer who commits a crime and is able to hide it.
-"This article will analyze the issue of violence as it is contained in history".
It could be corrected as the following:
"This article will analyze what influenced the narrator to become a violent man and what the consequences were."
A correct punctuation must be made in the following paragraph:
"These animals included dogs, apes, and even donkeys. The theme of violence is also portrayed when the narrator, realizing his mistake, turns on himself and begins to hurt himself with the knife that he always carried with him."
The first stanza is a continuity of the idea from the previous paragraph, therefore it must be in the previous paragraph with a period followed.
In the following paragraph we can make some editorial corrections as well as punctuation:
"The other theme of the story is that of loyalty. Before the narrator began drinking, he was loyal to his wife and pet cat, Pluto. The theme of loyalty also shows up when the narrator gouges his cat's eye out. Even though his wife saw the kind of cruelty he had subjected the cat to, he was still loyal to him."
We can see in the previous paragraph that the subject of loyalty begins to be discussed, therefore it is not necessary for the writer of the essay to say again "the subject of loyalty is also shown ..." it could be said "We can quote a example when the narrator gouges out his cat's eye ".
The last paragraph, as it is a continuity of the previous paragraph where the writer continues talking about loyalty, must continue that idea in the previous paragraph with a period followed.
Therefore, there should be a single paragraph where it is not necessary to repeat the word "the issue of loyalty" but only leave the word "loyalty" because it is already known that that issue has been discussed. Therefore, they could be as follows:
"The other theme of the story is that of loyalty. Before the narrator began drinking, he was loyal to his wife and pet cat, Pluto. An example we can cite is when the narrator gouges out his cat's eye. Even though his wife saw the kind of cruelty he had subjected the cat to, he was still loyal to him, and loyalty is represented by the cat himself. After the narrator gouged out the cat's eye, the cat was still playing with the narrator after the pierced eye sock had healed. Under normal circumstances, the cat would have fled the house and moved to another house away from the brutality."
Answer:
(The essay I used is underneath the last question)
1. Where does the writer stray from the topic? What could be done to fix this problem? Explain what you would cut and cross it out in the text of the essay.
I do not believe MuffinAlien strays away from the gothic topic in her essay. I think she did a great job describing Edgar Allen Poe's writing.
2. What misunderstandings or inaccuracies involving Gothic literature or Poe's use of suspense do you see? How would you suggest eliminating this problem? If necessary, cross out some words within the text of the essay.
I do not think there are any misunderstandings or inaccuracies in gothic writing, Poe's story, or the essay that MuffinAlien wrote. However, I will say I do have a small opinion. When writing a gothic based story, or maybe even any story depending on who you ask, people use more complex words, making sentences longer to make it seem like time is moving slowly in the story. I do not think it's effective for what it's for. This may be very biased because it's my personal opinion, but it makes it harder for me to understand the plot of the story. Instead of making the story more interesting because the time is being slowed, it makes it more boring because the time is too slow, and then I'm not interested in reading anymore. This is the reason why I do not enjoy gothic stories.
3. Where does the writer fail to support her points with evidence? What evidence from the story would you suggest adding to support these points?
MuffinAlien doesn't fail to support her points with evidence. Every example MuffinAlien told, she gave a quote to go with it.
4. Read the essay again and edit it for errors. Find and fix as many spelling, capitalization, and punctuation errors as you can. Pay special attention to the errors you learned about in the lesson, but look for other types of errors as well. You may write your edits directly into the essay.
I do not believe that there is anything wrong with the essay MuffinAlien wrote, but i suppose i wouldn't get a good grade if i didn't do much on this essay, so i'll try my best to fix it somehow.
Gothic writing is marked by the suspense of not knowing what will happen next in a story. Great Gothic writers like Edgar Allan Poe move beyond simple techniques to build suspense. His stories are more than the usual "It was a dark and stormy night." In his popular Gothic story, "The Black Cat," you can see Poe effectively using clear narrative choices to build suspense. How he holds back information and controlled pacing develops the narrator's character are both two good examples of how he does it.
Holding back information is the first way Poe builds suspense. As the story begins, the narrator is clearly addressing an audience. He says it in a way as if he knows us already. It says at the very beginning of the story, "But to-morrow I die, and to-day I will empty my soul." This statement is so extreme that anyone who would stumble onto these words would be attached, wondering what's going to happen next. None of the questions flowing through the reader's mind are answered until much later in the story. The now-curious reader must read along.
Along with this, Poe effectively controls the pacing of the story to which also builds suspense. Whenever the action becomes intense and the narrator becomes excited or violent, the sentences are either short or very choppy. For example, “...They left no nook or corner unexplored. At length, for the third or fourth time, they descended into the cellar. I trembled not in a muscle. My heart beats calmly as that of one who slumbers in innocence…” These sentences are short, direct, and choppy, creating more suspension. When Poe wants to create the illusion that time is passing more slowly; he uses longer and more complex sentences that must be read more carefully and slowly. For example, “To those who have cherished an affection for a faithful and wise dog, I need hardly be at the trouble of explaining the nature or the intensity of the satisfaction, therefore available. There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a savage, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasions to test the small friendship and cobweb loyalty of basic Man.” These sentences are very long, showing that time is passing very slowly.
Poe creates suspense in the story by using more complex tools and narrative choices than just setting the story on a stormy night in a haunted house or middle age castle. He holds back information and carefully controls the pacing. These narrative choices are so effective that we're still reading Poe's stories more than 150 years after they were first published.

Read a key findings paragraph from an informative report on ocean pollution.
Discarded plastics in our oceans are a significant source of climate change. As these plastics float in the oceans, sunlight and heat cause them to release greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases cause the planet to warm. Preventing plastic from getting into the ocean will consequently lessen the release of greenhouse gases worldwide.
How could this paragraph be improved?
the addition of commentary
the inclusion of supporting evidence
the addition of a topic sentence
the inclusion of a recommendation
Answer:
B) the inclusion of supporting evidence
Explanation:
Pollution is the emission of volatile organic chemicals, such as greenhouse gases, from recycled plastics. Recycling includes melting old polymers and reshaping them into desired shapes and sizes. Melting releases volatile carbon fumes into the air, which mix with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, which is then discharged into the air, increasing its concentration. Excess carbon depletes the ozone layer, causing the earth's atmosphere to heat up. The melting of arctic ice raises sea levels and changes sea waves. Ocean pollution is anticipated to have health consequences on creatures that rely on the water for food and habitat.

High school students are busy juggling responsibilities and fun. They often go to bed late and wake up early. This is a mistake because teenagers need about nine hours of sleep each night. Sleep strengthens every part of the body, including the brain and muscles. Students who get enough sleep have better memories and healthier bodies. Without sleep, young people are distracted and are more likely to have accidents.

2. Write a letter of complaint to the municipal commissioner about the state of the roads in your area refusing clearing the despairs regularly.
Answer:
Dear sir or madam,
This letter is to express my disconformity towards the state of the roads and the lack of action on your part towards the daily despairs.
First of all, the roads are not only dirty but also have large cracks and bumps. The road's states put drivers at risk since they have to dodge the bumps or cracks, which reduce their attention towards other things such as the people who are passing or other vehicles. Also, they are a risk for pedestrians. They can fall or get hurt with the state of the roads or the trash on the sidewalks.
There have been many complaints about this situation, but the government has not taken action. We, the citizens, feel that there is no effort to solve these problems. Besides, you are not taking care of the people who live in this town since you ignore the daily complaints.
I hope that you improve the state of our roads and compromise yourself to solve the town's problems by listening to people's claims.
Yours faithfully.
John Sanders.
Explanation:
When we write a complaint letter, first we have to address the person to whom we are complaining. In this case, as we do not know the name, we say dear sir or madam. Then, we write the first paragraph, where we introduce the letter's topic, which is the state of the roads and how the government is acting towards the problem.
In the second and third paragraphs, we describe the problems in detail. In other words, we explain why the roads should not be in a bad state, and we develop how we feel towards their lack of response.
Lastly, we ask them to act to solve these problems and say our goodbyes.

Answer:
1. Black lives, blue lives, and all lives matter. 2. That is a fact. 3. Policies such as defunding of police significantly hurts the black community more than it helps it. 4. In other words, less order leads way to chaos, lawlessness, and destruction especially in cities and already poor and underserved communities, almost 45% of black communities as found in a 2013 study. 5. Some policies that must be implemented to reverse these effects, particularly on black communities, are the refunding of police in cities and areas with high crime rates, higher bail for prisoners and repeat offenders/criminals, and greater punishment for crime at all levels.

Who is an author?An author is one who is the source of some form of intellectual or creative work; especially, one who composes a book, article, poem, play, or other literary work intended for publication.
Usually a distinction is made between an author and others (such as a compiler, an editor, or a translator) who assemble, organize, or manipulate literary materials.
Sometimes, however, the title of author is given to one who compiles material (as for publication) in such a way that the finished compilation can be regarded as a relatively original work.
The author mentions the fire train to encourage the rebuilding of the tunnel to better deal with emergencies. Therefore, option (D) is correct.
