Answer:
good afternoon everyone,
this year for my speech I have chosen the greatest writer of all time Roald Dahl.
Roald Dahl was born in Llandaff, Whales on September 13 1916. His parents were Norwegian and he was the only son of a second marriage. His father, Harold and older sister Astri died when he was only three. Roald and his sisters always begged for their mother to tell them stories. Even at a very young age, Roald fell in love with story writing and story telling.
Roald was married twice. He first married a Broadway and Hollywood actress in 1953, Named Patricia Neal whom he had five children with- Olivia, Theo, Tessa, Ophelia, and Lucy. Olivia sadly died at the age of seven from Measles and Theo suffered from brain damage. All in all Roald loved all of his children. He then married a woman named Felicity Crosland in 1983. Although they lived On the same street, Roald and Felicity never met until 1972.
One of the reasons Roald wrote for children is because when he told stories to his own children, their faces glowed.
From the age of 7, Roald attended Llandaff Cathedral School. He was 9 when he attended St. Peter’s Boarding School. At St. Peter’s, Roald got into the habit of writing to his mother once a week. He continued to do so until her death 32 years later. When his own children went to boarding School, Roald wrote to them twice every week to brighten up their days.
At the age of 23 a war broke out and Roald signed up with the Royal Air Force. He was trained on the Birdplane Gladiator fighters, mainly in Iraq. He then flew to join his squadron in the Western Desert of Libya, but crashed en-route. In 1942 he was sent to Washington with the air force. It was there that he met Eleanor Roosevelt who was an important writer and would set him on the path to a new career.
Roald’s career as a children’s author did not begin until the 1960’s. Roald Dahl’s first book for children was not, as many believe James and the Giant Peach, but a picture book called the Gremlins. Walt Disney invited Roald- now 25 to Hollywood where they wanted the Gremlins to be made into a movie. In the end, the movie idea was cancelled, but Roald’s book got published. His first newspaper article was called A Piece of Cake, which he wrote for the Post. He went on writing a total of sixteen stories for the Post.
Roald Dahl is not only a writer for children, but also for adults. For the first fifteen years of his writing career, he concentrated on writing for adults. Roald was not a quick writer. It could take him six months just to finish his rough draft! Then of course there is the editing, the proof reading and the final draft. By the time the book was on the shelves, a year and a half had already passed. But as bad as that was, it could have taken Roald one month to write the first page! Roald refused to write at all- unless he had a funny, interesting plot.
Roald first became interested in writing children’s books and novels by making up bed time stories for his two daughters, Olivia and Tessa. This was how James and the Giant Peach came to be. Soon after the book became popular in both North America and the UK. His second book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory also became a favorite. The book became a hit everywhere. They even got a Chinese copy made and it sold over two million copies-just in China!
In 1990 Roald was diagnosed with a very rare disease which affected his sleeping, the colour of his skin, and his brain. Sadly, on November 23, 1990 at the age of 74 Roald Dahl died.
Although Roald Dahl is not here to day, he is my favorite author and his stories will live in people’s hearts forever. THANK YOU!!!!
Explanation:
Janet stared the horse Rowan in the eye. Rowan was an impatient and testy young horse, and it was Janetʼs job to break him in. Every day after school, she would ride her bike 5 miles out to the stables to groom, walk, and, hopefully, ride Rowan. He usually tried to run away from her or bucked around until she fell off, but it was only a matter of time before he became accustomed to her presence. Janet checked the tightness of the saddle straps, stuck her foot into the stirrup, and flung her other leg over the horse. The moment her weight landed on Rowanʼs back, he took off at a full gallop across the field. Janet clenched the reins, bouncing in the saddle. Just when she thought she was steady, Rowan reared back. She lost her grip and fell flat onto her back on the muddy ground. “Oh well,” she thought as she picked herself up, “Try, try again.

Does Bilbo Baggins show perseverance in The Hobbit?
Answer:
He acts at first like a coward and a scaredy-cat because that is what hobbits do. They like to just sit around all day and be lazy and do nothing. In the middle and end of the book he actions lean him more towards fierce and brave.
Explanation:
He initially displays cowardice and fear because that is how hobbits behave. They enjoy doing nothing but lounging about all day. His acts throughout the middle and end of the novel skew him more toward brave and aggressive.
What is the concept of the Bilbo Baggins?The stealthy Bilbo Baggins is a gentleman. He didn't steal out of avarice; rather, he did it in order to advance their investigation and safeguard his party's members. Because he is a Hobbit, Bilbo embodies Tolkien's definition of a true hero: a small man with a large heart.
The adjective that best depicts Bilbo Baggins at the opening of The Hobbit is "well-ordered." The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, which was helmed by Peter Jackson, is a fictional film. The movie came out in the year 2012.
Thus, He initially displays cowardice and fear because that is how hobbits behave.

Subject: Request for pip water supply to ABC village.
Dear Sir,
It is with deep respect that I am writing to you to bring to your attention the water crisis in my locality.
The whole village of ABC has been depending on the natural rivers for our water supply. But with the recent drought and no monsoons, the waters have dried up.
This renders my village incapable of doing anything, or even going on with our daily lives.
So, I would like to request you to kindly look into the matter and provide us pipe water. It is the only means possible to get water to us now and that will greatly help ease the burden of the whole village.
Thank you.
Regards,
Mr. Puneet Sharma
Village Chief.

Answer:
brainliest?
Explanation:
Juan is a young man living in Argentina under the control of an authoritarian government (think Big Brother in Orwell's 1984). At the beginning of the story, he writes and mails a letter to a woman he loves named Mariana. However, he quickly begins worrying about what the censors will think about the contents of his letter. All letters written and mailed in this society go through the Censor's Secret Command, a bureaucratic agency that inspects everything for bombs, poisonous powders, secret messages, and more. Anything and everything could be a potential signal to the Censors that the letter's sender or receiver is plotting against the government, and Juan is worried that something in his letter will implicate Mariana. He comes up with a genius plan: he'll get a job with the Censors, work his way up the ladder, and intercept his own letter to send it through safely. He's hired easily, as there's a continuous need for new censors for reasons that we learn later in the story. Juan quickly and easily works his way up the ranks at the Censor's Command. By the end of the first week, he's in the department that actually censors letters and is fully devoted to his work. Juan censors letter after letter, throwing away most of them that come across his desk. One day, Juan's own letter lands on his desk. He's so focused on being the best censor possible that he mercilessly censors it and tosses it in the reject pile, which is a red flag to his superiors. Juan is executed the next day, 'another victim of his devotion to his work.'

Answer:
D. vibrate
Explanation:
Energy can be defined as the ability (capacity) to do work. The various forms of energy are solar energy, electrical energy, chemical energy, thermal energy, wind energy, nuclear energy, sound energy, etc.
Sound are mechanical waves that are highly dependent on matter for their propagation and transmission.
Sound travels faster through solids than it does through either liquids or gases due to the faster vibration of its particles.
Hence, mechanical waves are created when a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate.

How are the details of the narrator choosing to leave the rez important to the development of the text's theme?
Answer:
The details presented by the narrator show how it was necessary for him to abandon his own people in order to be able to achieve a better life, even if that was not easy. This develops the theme about the difficulty of life in the reserves.
Explanation:
This question is about "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me", a story about an indigenous boy, who in the middle of the precarious situation of his reservation, decides to leave and try a better life away from his people in a city of only whites. It is difficult for the narrator to abandon his rez, but the region lived in many difficulties, such as precarious housing, high unemployment, infertile lands, diseases, lack of structure, among others. Although it is difficult for the narrator to leave his home and leave his own family in rez, he knows that this is the only way to achieve a better life for himself and for the family that has so much potential.
