which parts should I highlight where we as readers see the shift between plots begin to occur?
"First there was confusion, as of one drawing all his sensations, for that moment blunted or muddled, into himself. He realized that he was running in pitch darkness, although, above, the sky crisscrossed with treetops was less black than the rest. "The trail," he thought, "I’ve gotten off the trail." His feet sank into a bed of leaves and mud, and then he couldn't take a step that the branches of shrubs did not whiplash against his ribs and legs. Out of breath, knowing despite the darkness and silence that he was surrounded, he crouched down to listen. Maybe the trail was very near, with the first daylight he would be able to see it again. Nothing now could help him to find it. The hand that had unconsciously gripped the haft of the dagger climbed like a fen scorpion up to his neck where the protecting amulet hung. Barely moving his lips, he mumbled the supplication of the com which brings about the beneficent moons, and the prayer to Her Very Highness, to the distributor of all Motecan possessions. At the same time, he felt his ankles sinking deeper into the mud, and the waiting in the darkness of the obscure grove of live oak grew intolerable to him. The war of the blossom had started at the beginning of the moon and had been going on for three days and three nights now. If he managed to hide in the depths of the forest, getting off the trail further up past the marsh country, perhaps the warriors wouldn't follow his track. He thought of the many prisoners they'd already taken. But the number didn't count, only the consecrated period. The hunt would continue until the priests gave the sign to return. Everything had its number and its limit, and it was within the sacred period, and he on the other side from the hunters."

Allen presents a counterargument involving respect for the flag at the beginning of the editorial. How does this contribute to the structure of his argument? How does he address the counterargument? Support your responses with evidence from the text.
This question is about the article "American flag stands for tolerance"
Answer and Explanation:
Allen shows that he believes that an individual can present better ways to show his discontent with the government instead of disrespecting the national flag by burning it, with that, we can see that he does not agree with the Supreme Court's decision to allow the burning of flags is a fair protest against the government, but quickly Allen claims that the Supreme Court is correct in allowing this, since even presenting a form of disrespect, the burning of flags is part of a peaceful protest, in addition to allowing freedom of expression in the country.
This shows that Allen's arguments are based on the country's ethical and legal standards and not on his own opinions, or on the sentimetalism he may feel for national symbols. He addresses the counterargument as a justification as to why he should not evaluate the Supreme Court's permission, but rather support it. This can be seen through the paragraph:
"The American flag is a cherished symbol of our national aspirations [...] iven the widespread and deeply felt reverence for this symbol of what we perceive to be the best of our civilization, what is the harm in insisting upon a modicum of respect for it? [...] Any messages that burning the flag might convey easily can be communicated in other ways.
The Supreme Court was not wrong. Indeed, a decision contrary to the one reached would have been a definitive step away from our national aspirations. A commitment to the intertwined freedoms of conscience and expression is at the core of those aspirations. What most distinguishes our civilization from both its predecessors and its contemporary competitors is a belief in the sanctity of the human conscience. Each individual is to have the freedom to develop by his or her own lights, and not by the command of officialdom. That requires not just the right to be let alone, but also the right to communicate with, to learn from and test views in conversations."

How does Lincon’s motivation to fight for freedom compare with Douglass’s? What does this say about each man?
Answer:
Frederick Douglass, a black American, fought for black civil rights through compelling speeches like “What to the slave is the Fourth of July?” depicting the terrors of slavery in graphic detail. Abraham Lincoln, on the other hand, spoke peacefully and optimistically during his Second Inaugural Address to demonstrate his desire for peace and reconciliation with the Confederate states. Both speakers captivated their audiences through compelling diction, tone, and argumentative methods to win them over and gain their support. Lincoln’s sole desire before, during, and after the Civil War was to maintain national unity. This was his job as president and the entire reason for fighting the Civil War. During his Second Inaugural Address, Lincoln reaffirmed the purpose of the war through choice diction. He stated that the South would “…make war rather than let the nation survive…” and though the he “…deprecated war…” he would accept it “…rather than let the nation perish…” Furthermore, during the course of the war, Lincoln freed all the slaves with his Emancipation Proclamation in order to weaken the South

Is this ethos, pathos, or logos?
When asked about the campaign, one of Cole's spokeswomen insisted the company isn't trying to insult teachers or unions, saying, it’s something in the news and being debated, and we wanted to provide a forum where people could discuss it as well. But with the company using the same loaded language as the conservative political activists trying to undermine public education and teachers unions, the corporate P.R.-speak is, to say the least, unconvincing.
No, Cole's campaign is thinly veiled ideological propaganda, and it comes with myriad problems, not the least of which is the simple fact that almost nobody believes underperforming teachers should be protected. That includes the nations biggest teachers; unions, which have been outspoken in backing accountability reforms for teacher tenure. So right off the bat, Cole is constructing a straw man, one that has served over the years to pretend that public employee unions in general and teachers unions specifically are about nothing more than making sure bad employees get to keep their jobs.
Answer:
Logos
Explanation:
Logos is when we use cold arguments – like data, statistics, or common sense – to convince people of something, rather than trying to appeal to an audience's emotions

When you read a story the author usually states the meaning and is very explicit. But when reading a poem the stanzas can each carry different meaning and they may all be implicit. The way a writer writes a poem they usually write it with their own unique spin.
Choose an event that happened to you or someone you know in the last 3-4 months. Write the narrative of the event from your perspective. Next, write about it from the perspective of someone, or someTHING else that was witnessing the event. (Make up anything please) I'll mark you brainiest!
Answer:
It is a story about varied perceptions due to pre conceieved assumed perceptions
Explanation:
I was going with a formerly blind friend of mine, who had just undergone an eye surgery & had got his eyes visibility back.
He was very excited for seeing nature, colors, other ambience for the very first time around him. So, excitedly he was saying that all the things looked so beautiful & mesmerising. I was also very happy in his happiness.
A person near us misunderstood unusual excitement of my friend, & suggested me to get him to a good psychologist, to 'normalise' his behaviour. Then I mentioned him the reason of my friend's excitement.
So, it shows our completely happy perspective about such a big physical & emotional happiness in our life. Which made someone's pre conceived notions to assume a completely different perspective (prior to my clarification).

Many characteristics read explanation

That Could Have Been You
Jim Heynen
The boys knew that on the farm danger was everywhere, sometimes the teeth of a spinning gear, other
times in the jaws of a growling boar. Danger could plunge from the sky in jag ed-edged hailstones or collapse
beneath them in weak timbers over a well. Hay balers didn't care what they b aled, and silage choppers didn't care
what they chopped. But mostly the danger the boys knew was in stories about what happened somewhere,
someplace, just out of sight, the next county, down the road six miles, somewhere else. The bull that crushed a man
against a gate. The woman who drowned trying to save her child from rushing spring floods. The man who broke his
neck falling from the haymow. The tornado that killed a whole family except the two-month-old baby who was
found in a lilac bush without a scratch on her.
The boys listened to the stories, and they didn't argue with the truth of them. They'd had their own fair
share of close calls. There was the eighty-pound hay bale that fell thirty feet and exploded in a green spray around
them, and the lightning that splintered a huge box elder tree right after they decided to run out from under that
very tree and play in the rain. Once a steel splinter from the corn sheller flywheel whirred like a table saw past their
heads. And they had their cuts and bruises. Knuckles that looked as if they'd been gnawed on by meat grinders.
Sprained ankles and wrists. Blood blisters that took toenails and fingernails off as they healed. Small concussions
that were good for week-long headaches. Wood slivers of all sizes that had punctured every part of their bodies.
And that's not even counting all the skinned knees and nosebleeds. The boys had plenty of bangings-around, but
nothing so bad that they weren't able to talk about it, maybe even boast about it, the next week.
In town on Saturday nights, the grown-ups would point out what terrible things had happened to other
people.
See those farmers with all those missing fingers? Cornpickers did that.
What is the summary
Answer:
The summary of the story is that the boys knew about the risks of working, playing, and hanging out on the farm. They had had their own fair share of close calls and minor accidents, such as sprained ankles, bruised knuckles and minor concussions, but all of that doesn't deter them from continuously playing maintaining regular visits to the same location.

Trace the structure of Tan's essay, describing both its organization and its methods. How does the structure of her essay support her purpose?
Answer:
It could be said that Tan's essay might be a “compare/ contrast” one, because it is presented as a comparison of the English language. She exposes his ideas and provides examples of them , personal experiences and she gives a definition of “mother tongue” and she resorts to his mother to provide a clear example of this topic.The she provides more examples to illustrate her point. It could be said that the text is divided into 3 parts: part 1 presents some situations about different styles of English. Part 2 addresses to her mother limitations with the language and the last part, n°3 focuses on her and how she wrote her stories.
