In west side story why don’t the guys want “anybodys” in the gang ?
Answer:
When they say they don't make movies like they used to, this is the sort of film they are talking about. Despite its flaws (and there are some), it is easily one of the best musicals ever made. Beginning with the overture and the opening scenes of New York City, circa 1960, it almost screams "classic." Some have criticized Natalie Wood's Maria (her dubious accent and the dubbed-in singing) or Richard Beymer's Tony (his slightly smarmy interpretation of the ex gang member gone straight), but the fact remains, their wholesome, fresh-faced characterizations defined the roles. And you simply can't top the film's instrumental score, its great songs ("Maria," "Tonight," "America," "I Feel Pretty," "A Place For Us," "I Have a Love," and "Officer Krupke"), its excellent choreography, or its very effective cinematography. Rita Moreno, as Anita, delivers what was probably her best performance in the movies, in particular her dancing and singing in "America," while Russ Tamblyn, as Rif, the charismatic leader of the Jets, is seldom given the credit he deserved. Natalie Wood on the rooftop, anticipating another meeting with her newfound love, is a vision of grace and innocence, while George Chakiris as her brother Bernardo, the leader of the Sharks, is very convincing as the persecuted immigrant/mean-spirited hoodlum. And its not as if these are the only actors who did a great job. A number of the other supporting roles are delivered with memorable professionalism, too. In fact, the cast as a whole is superb.
This movie poignantly (if simplistically) explores the purity of first love, while tackling intolerance and racism head-on, avoiding the tired, politically correct clichés that movies of today too often wallow in. Despite the simplicity of the story, it is always an emotional experience, no matter how many times you've seen it. While it is true that the Academy Awards have become very politicized, and no doubt always were to a degree, this movie snagged ten of them when great movies were being turned out almost as often as mindless pap is today. Not to be missed.
Explanation:
Read the passage from When Birds Get Flu by John DiConsiglio. Dr. Dowell had proven that bird flu could pass from person to person. But still, it hadn’t been spread easily. Which excerpt from earlier in the text best provides evidence to support Dr. Dowell’s conclusion in this passage? The next step for Dr. Dowell and his colleagues was to determine how mother and daughter had caught the flu. After helping her uncle bury some dead chickens, the girl developed a stomachache and a high fever, Dowell learned. During her day in the hospital, she never left her daughter’s room. That meant the mother most likely caught bird flu directly from her infected daughter. It had become even more dangerous than before. Now many other people would be at risk of getting sick and dying.

Write a short paragraph using each of the following:
One noun phrase
One verb phrase
One infinitive phrase
One prepositional phrase
One gerund phrase
One participle phrase
One appositive phrase
Answer:
I do encourage people to try and come up with sentences use the examples and definition below to help you. <3
Explanation:
A noun phrase is a group of words that work together to name and describe a person, place, thing, or idea. When we look at the structure of writing, we treat a noun phrase the same way we treat a common noun.
If a sentence has just one verb phrase, it is a finite verb phrase. The head verb is finite and either comes in present or past form. For instance: I go to college in the morning.
An infinitive phrase is a group of words that starts with the infinitive. Infinitive phrase example: to swim in the pool. An infinitive phrase can function as a noun, adjective, or adverb.
A prepositional phrase is a part of a sentence that consists of one preposition and the object it affects. The object of a prepositional phrase can be either a noun, gerund, or clause. Here’s an example of a prepositional phrase: She caught the bus on time.
A gerund is one of three classes of words called verbals — words based on verbs and expressing an action or a state of being but serving another grammatical function. (The other two are participles and infinitives.) A gerund, which functions as a noun, can consist of a single word or a phrase. 1. Subject Gardening is my favorite hobby.
A participle phrase is an adjective phrase headed by a participle. In the sentence 'Jumping up, Jack realized he had won,' 'Jumping up' is a participle phrase that described 'Jack.' A participle phrase can be headed by a present participle or a past participle.
An appositive is a noun or noun phrase (appositive phrase) that gives another name to the noun right next to it. It adds descriptive words about a specific thing (the noun), which helps make a sentence more detailed; or, it adds essential information to make the sentence’s meaning clear.

In the space below, write your second poem, the sonnet, focused on the same theme as the first poem you wrote. Be sure to follow the rules of a sonnet.
The first poem : On the first day of love did I see,
A goddess in a black dress.
Her hair messy and tangled like a nest,
But yet she was beautiful.
Fierceness flew from her eyes and the forest did dance,
As her hands grabbed mine.
And into the darkness I fell........
Answer:
...
Explanation:
God dang thats good
I always think of our times together
I've never denied that powerful spark
The warmth of your love in cold weather
Thoughts of you lifted me in the dark
But then, your eyes trained on another
And my heart was broken and shattered
My failing hoped then found my mother
And I knew, to you, I still mattered
But now, my heart seeks ti be free
I am breaking the bonds I have set
For, even though I ran to you for safety
I soon learned that I needn't fret
For now, my heart will set you aside
And let myself experience this crazy ride
WHAT IS THE TONE OF THIS POEM?
Let them be as flowers,
always watered, fed, guarded, admired,
but harnessed to a pot of dirt.
I'd rather be a tall, ugly weed,
clinging on cliffs, like an eagle
wind-wavering above high, jagged rocks.
To have broken through the surface of stone,
to live, to feel exposed to the madness
of the vast, eternal sky.
To be swayed by the breezes of an ancient sea,
carrying my soul, my seed,
beyond the mountains of time or into the abyss of the bizarre.
I'd rather be unseen, and if
then shunned by everyone,
than to be a pleasant-smelling flower,
growing in clusters in the fertile valley,
where they're praised, handled, and plucked
by greedy, human hands.
I'd rather smell of musty, green stench
than of sweet, fragrant lilac.
If I could stand alone, strong and free,
I'd rather be a tall, ugly weed.
What two words best describe the tone of the poem?
a
Somber and serious
b
Fearful and happy
c
Threatening and optimistic
d
Condescending and passionate

Describe a character in a series/movie that you idolise thoroughly. You can talk about how they dress, speak, walk, etc.
AlohaS4
Answer & Explanation:
A character that I idolize thoroughly in a series/movie would be "Aloha" from "Coroika/Splatoon". It's a manga series by Nintendo. Aloha is a very different character, someone who stood out to me almost instantly. He's very confident and kind while being very childish and a bit crazy at times. He's a fun character overall and his design was very laid-back to me.
Aloha speaks in a very "party" type style. What I mean by "party" style is his slang. He doesn't use full sentences or full words. Aloha's style of slang gives off a carefree vibe. He's not strict and likes to have fun rather than following rules.
Aloha's dressing style is something that would be better described as something you'd wear at the beach or on vacation. He's seen usually with a light blue shirt styled with white flower-type designs on it. He wears shorts and tennis shoes that are styled in all different colors. Pink, yellow, blue, etc. He usually puts his hair in a ponytail with some left down. He wears a pink golf visor.
Aloha is from a world where humans died 12,000 years ago and squids, octopuses, and jellyfish as well as some other smaller sea creatures have evolved into more humanoid characters. In this world, Turf War is the main way of living, they play Turf War games for entertainment and money. But, Aloha does it for simple fun with his close friends. People he would consider family, even. He's one of the highest ranks as the 3rd highest S ranker in their whole city of Inkopolis. The ranks are C, B, A, S, X. "X" rank being the highest, Of course, you can be a "#" minus, too. So, a "C -" Is the lowest possible rank while an "X +" Is the highest possible rank.
The reason I idolize this character, Aloha, so much is that he always gave off a very calm feeling to me. He was kind but confident. I have always had a lack of confidence. Aloha also had this feeling of being crazy and carefree. He kind of reminds me of a child, someone very young. Of course, he's older than me, but, he still felt like someone most could get along with. He's hard to hate when he's always so carefree and kind to everyone. Aloha has been seen multiple times through the series with his best friends or his Turf War teammates. They're a tightly-knit team who play in an unpredictable way, making them hard to beat when you have no idea what they'll do next.
~Aloha
PS: Yes, I named my account after this character. I idolize him very much. ^-^
