When people feel angry, they can choose to either defuse the situation, or let it take over their entire bodies. The latter can often lead to a more intense situation than necessary. Much of my adolescent years were spent getting Into trouble. I was constantly ditching school, getting bad grades, and being sent to the principals office, among other things. When my mother decided to try a new method of keeping me on track, I completely lost my cool. It was a typical day at Pedro Mendez High School.
I had Just arrived and was headed to class when my friend, Maggie, approached me with the idea of skipping our first class of he day.
Typically, I would have taken her up on this offer, but for some unknown reason I turned her down. We parted ways and I headed up the stairs to my classroom. Everything seemed normal in the classroom; I took my seat near the back of the class, took out my notebook and began working on my exercises.
It was at that moment that everything took a turn for the worse. While I was working, I heard my mother’s voice projecting from the doorway, asking to sit In during class. Not believing my ears, I looked up. Sure enough, my mother was standing right there.
Furious and embarrassed, I flipped the page of my notebook to a new page and began to doodle. My mother took a seat right behind me where she spent the remainder of the class time telling me to pay attention and poking me with a pencil. Out of spite, I continued to disobey everything that she told me to do. When the bell finally rang, I bolted out of the classroom and charged through the hallways with tears filling my eyes. My mother stayed close behind me trying to pull me back by my hands, but was unsuccessful. I was so angry that I could feel my body flooding with heat.
It was only a matter of time before I would explode. By the time I reached the counselors’ office, my face was bright red and profanities were spewing from my mouth. I was screaming about how much I hated my mom and that she should watch her back. Everybody in the office was looking at me as if I was psychotic. As an attempt to get me to calm down, one of the counselors separated my mother and me and took turns talking to us. I was so enraged that I was even yelling at the counselor. She told me that she had suggested to my mother to come to my school and follow me around for the day because it had worked on her on.
When the counselor left the room to talk to my mother, I walked out of her office and continued telling everybody how much I hated my mother and I gave her evil eyes through the window of the room. The counselor suggested to my mother that she take me to a hospital to have my mental stability evaluated, to which my mother agreed. When the counselor emerged from the room, she asked me to return to the other room, where she notified me of what was going to happen. She then walked my mother and me out to the car and sent us on our way.
The entire drive to the capital, neither my mother or I spoke a word to each other. Most of the day, we waited to be seen in separate areas of the waiting room. I stepped outside several times to smoke a cigarette in order to calm down. After waiting several hours, the nurse called me in. Over the course of about an hour, the doctor questioned me on things relating to my mental health. He concluded that I was, in fact, mentally stable. By the time I emerged from his office, my father had arrived and was talking with my mother. I could tell that he was very upset with me, which came as a surprise.
Usually, my father would agree with my mother to punish me, but he always found ways to relate to me and make me feel better. He looked at me and began to lecture me. When he was finished, he drove me home in his truck, only muttering a few words. Over the next few days, communication between my mother and me was minimal. Things gradually returned to normal. I continued to push the boundaries my parents imposed on me, and my parents continued to ground me. Little by little, I became more responsible and obedient. I proved that I could do the right thing. I showed that I was capable of being successful.
Although this was a situation where my anger dominated the rest of me, in the end everything turned out okay. By letting my anger escalate to an unnecessary level, I learned a lot about who I am and how I should react in similar situations. Had I not expressed my fury in the way that I did, I may not be the person I am today. I know that I may get mad at someone and someone may get mad at me, but that is what people do. It is part of being human. We move on with our lives and eventually get over it. Though we accept anger as a perfectly natural feeling to have, we need to learn how to handle it in a constructive way.

British efforts to challenge German spies

ways to crack complex codes
German supremacy among international spies
While U.S. intelligence agencies were not prepared to
keep track of and stop German operatives who had
slipped into this country, their counterparts in England
did have the personnel and system to take on the
German espionage machine. True, the British had more
at stake in the war, but they also were much better
prepared to fight Germany in espionage battles, with
some of their best work done in the area of codes and
ciphers.

Do you think there is an educational achievement gap between poor and wealthy students? Do you think schools are not doing a good enough job teaching poor children? Or is there another reason to explain the achievement gap? Write your response below using correct subject/verb agreement.
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Yes, I do believe that there is a pretty big educational gap between poor and wealthy students. I believe this is because wealthy students are able to afford private school which spends extra time on each individual student in order to help that student achieve their full potential. This is not the case with poor students since they usually end up going to public schools with hundreds of other students. These schools bunch the students up into groups and give them a learning curriculum with no personalized or individual help. Meaning that they ultimately need to solve and learn new things by themselves.

1. How would you describe the man in this quote based on Eli
Wiesel's description?
"The man interrogating me was an inmate. I could not see his
face, but his voice was weary and warm."
Answer:
The man in the quote seems to be a caring and sympathetic man who wanted to save as many people as possible from being taken to the death chamber.
Explanation:
Elie Wiesel's memoir "Night" revolves around his along with his Jewish people's torturous time during the German Nazi's discriminatory regime under Hitler. This event where a mass genocide of the Jews would later become one of the most horrendous acts of discrimination in the world's history.
The given description is that of the man who was interrogating them on their arrival at the Auschwitz concentration camp. Elie revealed that he was an inmate and he wanted them to lie about their age so that they are not 'discarded' and 'killed'. The use of the words "weary and warm" suggests that the inmate knows what he's doing and wanted to save them from the death chamber. This metaphorical presentation of the man through his voice shows the man may be sympathetic and also cares for the new arrivals, and would want to save or keep alive as many people as he possibly can.
What is this asking?
Choose one paragraph from To Kill a Mockingbird and explain what effect the sentence construction has. How does it affect the rhythm and musicality of the words? How does the sentence construction reflect the content of what is being written?
Answer:
Explanation:
The question is asking you to explain how sentence structure and wording in a paragraph affects the overall tone. For example, if the paragraph consists of dialogue that is short, simple sentences, the author is probably trying to portray to the reader that the character is of a younger age. The rhythm of these shorter sentences stands out from other sentences in this novel, further emphasizing the way this character speaks. I hope this helps :)

2. Is Mary crazy to marry a guy she met at a casino and run away to Montana? What could she be showing Junior and the reader about taking risks?
3. Gordy does some research and concludes that “people care more about beautiful white girls than they do about everybody else on the planet.” Is this true?
4. Junior says that he and Penelope are using each other. What does he mean by this? Do you think it’s true?
5. How did the author make the description of the fight interesting? What did you notice about the writing in this chapter that made it vivid? Include quotes or references to the text.
Cultural differences
6. Even though Junior is an outsider at his new school, he is also an outsider on the reservation. What makes him an outsider at both places? Use examples from the text.
7. Compare Gordy, Junior’s new friend from Reardan, and Rowdy, Juniors ex-best friend from the reservation.
Answer:
1)Maintaining eye contact or talking to them
2) Junior never brings himself to say that Mary’s decision to leave for Montana was rushed and reckless where his decision to study in Reardan was steady and responsible. In Mary’s messages to Junior—her email and letter—Mary’s unflagging optimism masks the growing difficulty and despair of her jobless new life in a trailer far from home. Mary’s early death shows how bad the despair of life on Indian reservations can be even for extremely talented and intelligent people.

Passage 1
It was a foggy day outside of 221B Baker Street. Inside my flat, the air was clear. I was reading by the fire when I heard a knock at the door. When I opened the door, Mrs. Hudson introduced my latest client, Mrs. Blakely. The lady wore a glamorous gown and hat, indicating that she was probably wealthy. Mrs. Blakely's red eyes, wet handkerchief, and frightened expression showed that she was in distress. I smiled and stood at attention, almost smelling a mystery.
Passage 2
A lady in a fine gown and hat stepped out of the carriage and strode up to the door of 221B Baker Street. She sniffled and used a handkerchief to wipe away her tears. Taking a deep breath, she rapped on the door of the world's most famous detective.

c

Explanation:
The first passage uses words such as I and my, indicating this is in the first person point of view. The second passage doesn't use any words likes this, and describes what characters are doing without saying what point of view it's in. This would make the second passage in the third person point of view.
