Guiding Questions Analysis to Include​​

What connections did you make?​

Was your title prediction accurate?

Based on the title of the poem, I predict it will be about dreams or goals.  

What words and phrases stood out to you?​

What feelings did they evoke?​

What did you notice about Johnson’s sentence structure?​

How did Johnson create a certain pace or rhythm in the text?

I noticed that the lines of the two stanzas were very short. It created a sense of abruptness. The lines “The break in the heart” “The cry of the heart/ 'Till it ceases to beat” stood out because they evoked feelings of sadness. These lines help the reader understand the feeling and meaning of the poem in that when dreams end, there is a sadness to life. There is an abcb rhyme scheme in each stanza.​

How did Johnson’s word choice and syntax impact your understanding of the poem?​

How did her word choice and syntax convey her feelings about dreams?

The shortness of the lines, use of strong verbs such as “ceases,” and the repeated image of the heart breaking and ceasing to beat helped the reader understand the importance of not giving up on dreams. For when someone no longer pursues a dream, life is dull and empty.

Read this excerpt from Rudolfo Anaya's essay "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry,"
Tortillas and poetry. They go hand in hand, Books nourish the spirit, bread nourishes our bodies. Our distinct
cultures nourish each one of us, and as we know more and more about the art and literature of the different
cultures, we become freer and freer.....
I don't know anyone who doesn't like to sample different ethnic foods, the breads of many many groups; Just
as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world. I travel to foreign countries, and I know
more about myself as I learn more about my fellow human beings, Censorship imposes itself in my path of
knowledge, and that activity can be justified by no one
Which of these changes would make this excerpt more argumentative?
using words that affect the audience's sense of trust
using less repetition of certain words and phrases
including words that address logic and reason
including words that are charged with emotion

Answers

The correct answer is C. Including words that address logic and reason

Explanation:

The purpose of an argument is to prove as valid a specific point of view usually by including reasons, evidence, examples, based on facts and logic. In the case of the excerpt presented, the author argues against censorship by explaining the importance of reading and highlighting how books are necessary for the spirit. Additionally, in this argument, the author provides mainly evidence based on emotions such as "Books nourish the spirit" or "we become freer and freer". In this context, one way to make the excerpt more argumentative is to introduce words or statements that are based on logic and reason because by introducing this type of objective evidence the author can better prove the importance of preventing censorship, and therefore the argument will be strengthened.

how does Fadi’s identity affect his perspective of his first day of school?

Answers

Answer:

Thinking about the aspects of what make up one's identity, how does Fadi's identity affect his perspective of his first day of school. Not to mention, they are escaping from Afghanistan, a very dangerous country located in South Asia. Because of this, I think Fadi is afraid, because of his past home he has to be afraid because he doesn't know what is going to happen next.. His mother is also getting sicker and sicker everyday, and he doesn’t know if she will make it. The first quote that I believe really helps is “The eerie stillness was broken by muffled coughing as Zafoona covered her mouth with a handkerchief. Before she could tuck it away, Fadi saw a trace of blood on the snowy white cloth.” The second quote is “ As a Pukhtun, his father was bound by the ancient, sacred code of Pukhtunwali to protect his namus—the women of his family—with his life.”

Explanation:

Hope this helps!

The passive voice in which the sentences are rewritten correctly is in option (D): "Dr. Bender added sulfur to the mixture."

What is passive voice?

Many languages use grammatical voice constructions known as the passive voice. The grammatical subject of a clause in the passive voice expresses the topic or patient of the primary verb, i.e., the subject of the action or the object whose condition is altered. roles played by the passive voice.

The passive voice is used to express interest in the subject of an action rather than the subject or object that actually performs it. In other words, the most significant object or someone becomes the sentence's topic.

Passive voice tends to disguise or de-emphasize the sentence's actor, whereas active voice tends to highlight or disclose it. Accordingly, active phrases frequently sound more "direct" than passive ones, making them more understandable to the reader.

Passive voice is used when the actors of the sentence are unknown or irrelevant, or talk in general form, or vague. Therefore, out of the given choice, option (D) is the correct one.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\mathrm{view \: explanation}}[/tex]

Explanation:

A gerund is a verb in its present participle (-ing) form that acts as a noun.

An infinitive is a verb form that acts as other parts of speech. An infinitive is formed with to + base form of verb.

Answer: Gerund and infinitive difference is: Gerund is present version of a verb, infinitive is the base form of a verb

Explanation:

Gerunds and infinitives can replace a noun in a sentence. Gerund = the present participle (-ing) form of the verb, e.g., singing, dancing, running. Infinitive = to + the base form of the verb, e.g., to sing, to dance, to run. Hope this helps you a little! <3
