I NEED HELP PLEASEEEE
The Mystery of Loch Ness
By Kayden Mitchell

Of all the mysteries in the world, none has been as popular as that of the Loch Ness Monster. Perhaps the biggest mystery is whether it is convincing evidence or a simple desire to believe that keeps the myth alive.

Loch Ness is a lake in Scotland. The loch, or lake, is known for sightings of a mysterious monster. Most who see this monster, known as Nessie, describe something with a long neck and several humps above the water. Sometimes the "monster" is moving in these sightings, and sometimes it is still. Many have suggested that Nessie might be a plesiosaur (plea-see-a-soar), an aquatic dinosaur that was trapped in the loch after the last ice age.

The plesiosaur theory presents several problems. First, the plesiosaur is an air breather. Such a creature would need to surface often and, therefore, be seen more frequently. Second, it's unlikely that the same creature has lived in the loch since the last ice age. Today's creature would have to be the offspring of an original plesiosaur trapped long ago. This would suggest multiple creatures in the loch (needed to produce offspring). Again, sightings would be more frequent if this were the case.

So from a purely logical stand point, the existence of such a large and ancient creature is unlikely. But assume for a minute that it is possible. What would a plesiosaur need to live in an enclosed lake?

Tropical waters: Scientists believe plesiosaurs were warm-blooded. Like crocodiles and alligators, plesiosaurs would need to live in warm waters. The loch is very cold with temperatures averaging about 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4.4 Celsius).
Food: Like other warm-blooded creatures, plesiosaurs would need a large quantity of food. If there is a group of Nessies, then even more food would be needed. Because the loch is full of silt (underwater dust) not much light gets into the deepest areas. So the food chain, which would depend on plankton, is very weak at its base. As a result, there is probably not enough food to support such a large creature.
However, the plesiosaur theory is not the only one. Many other ideas attempt to explain the sightings and "photographs." But two separate sonar surveys of the loch have not found any evidence of a creature larger than a salmon. The last survey,1 completed in 2007 by the British Broadcasting Company (BBC), involved 600 different sonar beams. Using satellite navigation systems, the team made sure every inch of the loch was searched. The team found nothing.

With cell phones and digital cameras, one would think that sightings of Nessie would increase. This has not happened. The BBC team believes the legend of Nessie has endured because people see what they want to see. To prove this, the team used a fence post, raising it before groups of tourists. Afterwards several of the tourists asked to draw pictures of what they had seen drew pictures of a monster's head.

In this article, the author suggests the Loch Ness monster may be a product of people's imaginations. Writing in complete sentences, cite two pieces of evidence the author uses to support this claim. Use details from the article to support your answer. (10 points)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The author says that the Plesiosaurus is an airbreather so it would come up for air so it would be spotted very quickly. The author also says that there is no way it has survived since the ice age.

5. How does Wallace Stevens use figurative
language, specifically similes to discuss the death
of a soldier?

Answers

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

Simile refers to the comparison of something with another which is unrelated. Wallace Stevens extensively used Simile in his poem titled, "The Death of A Soldier".

Life contracts and death is expected,

As in a season of autumn.

The soldier falls.

The above lines show that the death of a soldier in a battle is definite, just as the autumn season is sure to arrive.

He does not become a three-days’ personage,

Imposing his separation,

Calling for pomp.

These lines show that the death of a soldier does not command much recognition as in the death of a known personality/personage.

Death is absolute and without memorial,

As in a season of autumn,

When the wind stops.

These lines show that the death of a soldier is not remembered and this is compared to the season of the autumn when the wind stops.

When the wind stops and, over the heavens,

The clouds go, nevertheless,

In their direction.

These last lines further stress the fact that when the wind stops, signifying an end to the soldier's life, things continue as usual. So Wallace Stevens made good use of comparisons in this poem.

I would rather jump out of a plane. I would want to do this because you can feel the fresh air in your face and under your arms, also because it would be something adventurous and fun todo! I think if I jumped out of an airplane i would be scared at first and might need a few encouraging words,  but i would do it because it would be something fun and new todo ecspecially when you have nothing else to do and need that fresh air. I also think if i jumped out of an aiplane and like it, I would do it more and more times, it would bring me out of my comfort zone and make me feel free and brave, i dont know for sure if i would do it for a living but i would do it for fun! Something else daring I would want to do and it would also bring me out of my comfort zone is holding a snake, i never have before but if i did i would be scared but if i actually did it I would feel brave and more confidnet in myself! Also if i could do something else daring it would probably be driving a motorcycle, I think if i tried to drive one it would also give me fresh air and ALOT of confience, I think about alot of daring things i could do when I grow up but these are really the top three because they would give me more confidence and courage to do alot more things!

Answers

Answer:

One morning, a 7 year old boy named Trey looks outside of his house. He sees that it's snowing. His face brightens, His heart races, and his hands fumbling to put on his snow gear. Before his hand reaches for the handle of the door, his mother intervenes between both Trey and the door. She says: "Trey I told you to go throw that beach ball away! It's been sitting there since spring! And it's all deflated now." Trey, still happy that he gets to go outside anyway, says: "Yes Ma'm" he goes through the back door into the backyard. He sees the deflated beach ball, but instead decides to make snow man. As his back yard piles up with snow, Trey slowly gets tired and bored. He decides to visit his friend Henry's house to invite him over to play. Trey exits his backyard and onto the sidewalk next to the street. He walks pass several houses before he reaches the end of his neighborhood. As Trey walks up to Henry's house, Trey wonders why Henry would live in such a beat down, dark, old, and scary house. It was 2 stories tall, had 4 windows, 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom, and it was wearing down due to old age. The house looked abandoned. Before Trey could walk in, an old man yells from across the next house: "I wouldn't go in there if I was you! People say it's a haunted house!" Trey walks in anyway.

Because she is humble, understanding, straightforward, and honest, Dorothy is the ideal example of a kid heroine.

Why Dorothy is considered to be a heroine here?

Baum intended The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to be a fairy tale, but in contrast to previous fairy tale protagonists, this one is a young child who never reaches any kind of adulthood. Like Peter Pan, she is still a kid and will always be a child, despite the fact that she sets off on a perilous voyage and encounters several hazards. The majority of people's childhoods are similar to Dorothy's in that they feel their homes are dull and monotonous and welcome exciting adventures.

In some ways, Dorothy's journey through Oz can be compared to a typical childhood: there are close friends, but there are also some people to stay away from; there are amazing sights and adventures, but there are also challenges and dangers; there are moral lessons to be learned; and there is a clear, if occasionally difficult, the path to self-awareness and independence.
