"The first official observance of Labor Day was Tuesday September 5, 1882 in New York City. The holiday was created by the Central Labor Union to recognize the contributions of the American worker. In 1884 the first Monday in September was selected to be the annual day of celebration. The Central Labor Union tried to encourage groups in other cities to follow the example of a “workingmen’s holiday.” The government first began recognizing the holiday through ordinances in 1885 and 1886. The first bill to become a law recognizing Labor Day was passed in Oregon in February of 1887. By June of 1894, the majority of states had recognized the holiday, so the federal government passed a law making the observance of Labor Day each first Monday in September a legal holiday. The holiday is celebrated by workers and others nationwide in street parades and festivals."

The Ruined Man Who Became Rich Again Through a Dream
An adaptation of a story from 1,001 Arabian Nights
Once there lived in the city of Chongqing a very wealthy man who lost all his belongings and his treasures and became very poor. He was so poor that he could only earn his living by laboring day and night. One night, extremely late, he lay down to rest. He was exhausted, dejected, and sick at heart. He fell into a deep sleep and dreamt that a wise old soul came to him and said, "Your fortune is in the city of Beijing; go there and seek it."
The next day, he set out for Beijing. He arrived there deep into the night and he lay down to sleep for a bit in a hostel. Presently, as fate would have it, a company of thieves entered the hostel. They made their way into the house that adjoined the hostel. Soon, the people of the house, aroused by the noise, awoke and cried out, "thieves, thieves!" An alarm was raised and the chief of the police came to their aid with his officers. The robbers made off; but the police entered the hostel and found the man from Chongqing asleep there. They cast him into prison, where they kept him for three days. The chief of police sent for him and said, "Where did you come from?"
"From Chongqing," whispered the man.
"And what brought you to Beijing?" asked the chief.
"I saw in a dream an old soul who said to me, 'Thy fortune is at Beijing; go there at once to find it.' But, when I came here, the fortune that I was promised proved to be an arrest and a jail stay."
The chief of the police laughed until he showed his white, wide, broad teeth. He said to the man from Chongqing, "O man of little wit! Three times have I seen an old soul in a dream who said to me, 'There is a fashionable house in Chongqing, with a fountain in the front garden. Under the fountain there is buried treasure- a great sum of money. Go there and take it.' Of course I did not go. You, on the other hand, you of little wit, have journeyed from place to place, on the faith of a dream, which was but an illusion of sleep."
Then the chief of police gave the man from Chongqing money, saying, "This is to help you get back to your native land."
Now, the house that the chief described was the man's very own house in Chongqing! When he traveled home, he immediately dug underneath the fountain in his garden and discovered a great treasure! He received an abundant fortune in his own yard!

In this clip, William asks, "What does an unreliable narrator show about the importance of character in horror?" How does his question and the discussion that follows lead to an understanding of the importance of point of view in horror tales? Explain with evidence from the video.
Answer:
This shows that the narrative point of view is very important in relation to the readers' perception and the feelings they capture from the story.
Explanation:
According to the discussion we can see that the narrators' point of view within a narrative is very important and influential in relation to the way we perceive, interpret and feel the story. This is because the narrator is responsible for giving us an insight into what is happening.
Third-person narration gives us a paromic view of how the facts really happen. This gives us a sense of certainty and imposes an easier and more complete interpretation of what is happening.
The first person narration, however, gives us a limited view of the facts, however profound and person, but which needs a more detailed interpretation, since the facts may have been modified by the narrator's perception.

Creek, and smiled. The old-timer had been very serious in
laying down the law that no man must travel alone in the
Klondike after fifty below. Well, here he was; he had had

From this poem, I thought of the bee as a human (a worker) and honey as the work. Bees spend their whole life at the hive collecting pollen and turning it into honey until they die. Its the same things with humans. We go to school to prepare us for the workforce and work until we are no longer in shape anymore. Too much of anything is dangerous and I feel that some people work themselves to death. I agree with the following quote because I feel that school is all I focus on right now. Yes, that's a good thing but I'm also so tired and want to break out of the cycle of feeling stressed. I am a teenager in high school and want to experience more in life than just school. My goal is to travel the world before I work my life away. This is why I agree with the author's philosophy.

What is intelligence?Numerous characteristics, including abstraction, logic, comprehension, self-awareness, learning, emotional knowledge, reasoning, planning, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving, have all been used to characterize intelligence.
Behaviorists estimate an adult cat's intelligence to be on par with a 2-year-old human toddler based on a number of studies. Cats are capable of object permanence recognition, which is the awareness of objects that are not immediately visible, according to studies. Out of sight does not necessarily imply permanent disappearance.
The triarchic paradigm asserts that there are three facets to intelligence: analytical, creative, and practical (Sternberg, 1985). Componential intelligence is another name for analytical intelligence, which is the intelligence used to study or evaluate issues and find solutions.

Answer:
B. Even though we have different reasons, we all basically agree that Christopher Marlowe couldn't have written Shakespeare's plays.
Explanation:
In a group discussion, the best example of synthesizing claims into a single conclusion is "even though we have different reasons, we all basically agree that Christopher Marlowe couldn't have written Shakespeare's plays."
Group discussions help people to gather different information and opinions that will make it complete. But such discussions becomes meaningful when everyone comes to an agreeable conclusion despite the different viewpoints.
Therefore, agreeing that Christopher Marlowe couldn't have written Shakespeare's plays despite the different reasons people had, is a proper way of synthesizing claims into a single conclusion.

What is the relation between old man and narrator?The text does not make it clear how the narrator and the old man met, but shows that they have a strong contact with each other. If we interpret this, we can consider that they are members of the same family, that the old man is a friend of the speaker's family, or that the narrator works for the old man.
"The tell-tale heart" is a short story that features a narrator who tells how he killed an old man that he liked a lot, but that left him in agony because of the eye he had. The old man had an extremely pale blue eye, which made the narrator terrified and insane, preparing an entire plan to kill the old man.
Therefore, Poe's manipulation of time creates the effect of suspense because the narrator is moving so slowly and methodically. The narrator is seeking out the eye by trying to avoid disturbing the old man's sleep.
