“It’s comforting to know Chris was here,” Billie explains, “to know for certain that he spent time beside this river, that he stood on this patch of ground. So many places we’ve visited in the past three years—we’d wonder if possibly Chris had been there. It was terrible not knowing—not knowing anything at all.

“Many people have told me that they admire Chris for what he was trying to do. If he’d lived, I would agree with them. But he didn’t, and there’s no way to bring him back. You can’t fix it. Most things you can fix, but not that. I don’t know that you ever get over this kind of loss. The fact that Chris is gone is a sharp hurt I feel every single day. It’s really hard. Some days are better than others, but it’s going to be hard every day for the rest of my life.”

Abruptly, the quiet is shattered by the percussive racket of the helicopter, which spirals down from the clouds and lands in a patch of fireweed. We climb inside; the chopper shoulders into the sky and then hovers for a moment before banking steeply to the southeast. For a few minutes the roof of the bus remains visible among the stunted trees, a tiny white gleam in a wild green sea, growing smaller and smaller, and then it’s gone. (203)

What effect do the words “abruptly,” “shattered,” and “percussive” have in the final paragraph above?
A.
They exemplify Krakauer’s tendency to overwrite.
B.
They mimic the intrusion of the helicopter through sounds.
C.
They draw in the reader emotionally.
D.
They illustrate the harsh reality of the Alaskan wilderness.
E.
They stand as a metaphor for Chris’ character.

An oral report delivered to the church's young people's group
general
formal
Informal

Answers

Answer:

General

Explanation:

Hi, I noticed your question has yet to be answered, so I'll help you out and explain why this would be general usage.

Because it is an oral report, the answer would not be informal. So we have to focus on the remaining two and look at all the avenues in each.

Formal writing does not allow contractions, opts for complex terms and is often seen in masterful/scholarly writing.  Because the audience is a church's youth group, more than likely formal usage is not the case.  If it were an adult audience, perhaps this would be the right choice.

Therefore, general writing is not informal per say, but it does allow some contractions, explores modern/more simple of terms and is found in more comfortable environments, as opposed to formal.

Once again, because the audience is young, it would be very confusing if the person presenting the report were to use complex terms.  They would have to word it in a way where the children could understand; hence, why I say general is correct.

Hope this helps.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

"The Raven" is a poem written by Edgar Alan Poe. This poem presents the story of a man who tries to forget the death of the woman he loves, while talking to a raven about the darkest thoughts he has. One of the symbols of this poem is the raven itself, which represents the sadness, obscurity and pain that the speaker of the poem is feeling. The speaker of the poem shows several times how the shadow of the raven overlaps him, showing how sadness and mourning for the death of the beloved woman, takes over the speaker's entire existence.

"The Masque of the Red Death" is a story written by Edgar Alan Poe and tells how a prince tries at all costs to protect himself from a terrible plague that has taken over the kingdom and is known as Red Death. However, the plague can find it. One of the symbols of this story is the clock that is in the abbey where the prince tries to hide. The clock has a black color and is located in a black and dark room, it represents the idea that time passes very quickly and the only way to stop this is with death, which is inevitable.

Explanation:

Setting a curfew would be no where near the first step to destroying a democracy.

An argument that is a slippery slope fallacy: Setting a curfew is the first step in destroying democracy. The correct option is d.

The slippery slope fallacy is an argument that argues an initial event or action will set off a chain of circumstances that will result in an extreme or unfavourable outcome. The slippery slope fallacy predicts this line of events without providing any evidence to back up the claim.

When a person says that a very minor move will result in a series of events that results in a major shift or a terrible outcome, this is known as the slippery slope fallacy. This is known as a slippery slope argument. This is troublesome because the individual assumes a cause-and-effect relationship between two or more events or outcomes without knowing how things will turn out.

The Costume Institute, The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Andrew Bolton

The Costume Institute, The Metropolitan Museum of Art

September 2008

Every decade has its seer or sybil of style, a designer who, above all others, is able to divine and define the desires of women. In the 1910s, this oracle of the mode was Paul Poiret, known in America as “The King of Fashion.” In Paris, he was simply Le Magnifique, after Süleyman the Magnificent, a suitable soubriquet for a couturier who, alongside the all-pervasive influence of Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, employed the language of Orientalism to develop the romantic and theatrical possibilities of clothing. Like his artistic confrere Léon Bakst, Poiret’s exoticized tendencies were expressed through his use of vivid color coordinations and enigmatic silhouettes such as his iconic “lampshade” tunic and his “harem” trousers, or pantaloons. However, these Orientalist fantasies (or, rather, fantasies of the Orient) have served to detract from Poiret’s more enduring innovations, namely his technical and marketing achievements. Poiret effectively established the canon of modern dress and developed the blueprint of the modern fashion industry. Such was his vision that Poiret not only changed the course of costume history but also steered it in the direction of modern design history.

In 1901, Poiret joined the House of Worth, where he was asked to create what Gaston Worth (the son of Charles Frederick Worth, the eponymous founder) called “fried potatoes,” simple, practical garments that were side dishes to Worth’s main course of “truffles,” opulent evening and reception gowns. One of his “fried potatoes,” a cloak made from black wool and cut along straight lines like the kimono, proved too simple for one of Worth’s royal clients, the Russian princess Bariatinsky, who on seeing it cried, “What horror; with us, when there are low fellows who run after our sledges and annoy us, we have their heads cut off, and we put them in sacks just like that.” Her reaction, however, prompted Poiret to found his own maison de couture in 1903 at 5 rue Auber. Later, in 1906, he moved his atelier to 37 rue Pasquier, and then, in 1909, to 9 avenue d’Antin. Two years later, he established a perfume and cosmetics company named after his eldest daughter, Rosine, and a decorative arts company named after his second daughter, Martine, both located at 107 Faubourg Saint-Honoré. In so doing, he was the first couturier to align fashion with interior design and promote the concept of a “total lifestyle.”

In freeing women from corsets and dissolving the fortified grandeur of the obdurate, hyperbolic silhouette, Poiret effected a concomitant revolution in dressmaking, one that shifted the emphasis away from the skills of tailoring to those based on the skills of draping. It was a radical departure from the couture traditions of the nineteenth century, which, like menswear (to which they were indebted), relied on pattern pieces, or more specifically the precision of pattern making, for their efficacy. Looking to both antique and regional dress types, most notably to the Greek chiton, the Japanese kimono, and the North African and Middle Eastern caftan, Poiret advocated fashions cut along straight lines and constructed of rectangles. Such an emphasis on flatness and planarity required a complete reversal of the optical effects of fashion. The cylindrical wardrobe replaced the statuesque, turning, three-dimensional representation into two-dimensional abstraction. It was a strategy that dethroned the primacy and destabilized the paradigm of Western fashion.

Poiret’s process of design through draping is the source of fashion’s modern forms. It introduced clothing that hung from the shoulders and facilitated a multiplicity of possibilities. Poiret exploited its fullest potential by launching, in quick succession, a series of designs that were startling in their simplicity and originality. From 1906 to 1911, he presented garments that promoted an etiolated, high-waisted Directoire Revival silhouette. Different versions appeared in two limited-edition albums, Paul Iribe’s Les robes de Paul Poiret (1908) and Georges Lepape’s Les choses de Paul Poiret (1911), early examples of Poiret’s attempts to cement the relationship between art and fashion (later expressed in collaborations with Erté and Raoul Dufy, among others). Both albums relied on the stenciling technique known as pochoir, resulting in brilliantly saturated areas of color (2009.300.1289). It was an approach that not only reflected the novelty of Poiret’s designs but also his unique palette. Indeed, although the columnar garments depicted in the pochoirs referenced Neoclassicism, their acidic colors and exotic accessorization, most notably turbans wrapped à la Madame de Staël, were more an expression of Orientalism (as were several cocoon or kimono coats for which Poiret was known throughout his career)

She has little influence over the other girls, despite her social position as the minister’s niece. Her charm and magnetic persuasiveness make her a natural leader among the girls.

Answers

Answer:

From the details in Act I of "The Crucible", we can conclude the following about Abigail's relationship with the other girls:

1. She uses the other girls' fear of her and of supernatural events to intimidate them.

Explanation:

"The Crucible" is a play by Arthur Miller. Set in Puritan Salem, the play revolves around false accusations concerning witchcraft that lead to several imprisonments and deaths. Several themes are developed in the play, such as power, manipulation, blind faith, and injustice, among others.

Abigail is one of the antagonists, probably even the most villainous character in the story. Manipulative and selfish, she intimidates the other girls by using their fear of supernatural events. It is Abigail who sends the other characters to jail by falsely accusing them of witchcraft. It is interesting to note that her motives are low and egotistic. In Puritan Salem, an unmarried girl like Abigail had no social status whatsoever. By accusing others, she gains power and influence.

In "Excerpt from Minuk: Ashes in the Pathway," what is the narrator's point of view about the life of an adult in her culture? Use two details from the story to support your response. (RL6.6) *

Answers

Answer:

The narrator has described the life of adults in "Excerpt from Minuk: Ashes in the Pathway" as boring.

Explanation:

"Excerpt from Minuk: Ashes in the Pathway" is an excerpt taken from Minuk written by Kirkpatrick Hill. The excerpt shares the life of children and adults in her culture.

She asserts that the life of adults in her culture was boring as they did not have rights to have fun and play like children. She remarks that how her mother, grandmother, and aunts would touch the narrator's dolls as if they were missing playing with it.

The textual evidence:

"Even Mamma and Grandma and the aunts came out into the  spring sun to touch our dolls and look at their clothes, as if they’d missed them, too. I  thought that sometimes it must be hard to be grown-up and not able to play."

"Our grandfather had carved both of our dolls from driwood. Mine had tiny lines  for tattoos on the chin and little black eyes and a straight mouth. I loved her serious  little face."

Answer:

I think the narrator's point of view from the "Excerpt from Minuk: Ashes in the Pathway" thinks that adult life is challenging and is proud of the adults in her culture because of their work and she feels they are an important aspect of her village.

Explanation:

One example is when she says "I thoughts that sometimes it must be hard to be a grown-up and not able to play". This sentence shows that she thinks it is challenging to resist the urge to play as an adult. Another example is when she talks about her relatives making her doll clothes and the men in her village winning a war against another village. The feeling of pride comes over her as she is grateful for the clothing to play with and she is very proud of her villages' men to win this war against another village. This shows that she respects the adults in her village, and feels that they are important to her growing life. Although the life of an adult does not appeal to her now, she feels that they play a major role in her life and that their life is very challenging and is needed to help her village grow.
