Answer:
Imagine seeing the Sun shining for day and night! Midnight Sun is a real thing; the scientific term is Polar Day. It is the Sun when seen at midnight. Many Alaskans can see it regularly during the summer months around the Summer Solstice in June.
The Sun does not set for over 80 days at a time in Barrow, Alaska. If the weather is fair, people can see the sun for a full 24 hours. Many tourists travel to Alaska to view the Midnight Sun. Although many people find it interesting, some local people do not enjoy the summer days with long daylight hours.
Explanation: The report needs serious reorganization. It is unclear what the numbers are supposed to mean-- maybe the kind of correction needed, so I'll try to go by the numbers.
1. Do not capitalize 'thing.'
2. delete 'for them.'
3. If you are explaining Midnight Sun, define the event first then tell when it happens.
4. This sentence fragment needs to be connected to another sentence.
5. Avoid saying 'is seen' (passive voice) again. Rewrite in active voice. "People can see . . ."
6. This is a good introductory "hook." Move to the beginning of the report.
7. Connect this information to another sentence (3) where it makes sense.
8. Correct 'so' to the actual number of days found in research.
9. This is a fragment and repetitious. Eliminate it.
10. Capitalize 'It' and move the sentence. This belongs in the first paragraph.
11. Be consistent about capitalizing 'Midnight Sun.' Add a period.
12. Rewrite to make sense. Avoid sweeping generalities and absolutes (never).
13. This subordinate clause must be connected to another. It makes a good transition between the information about the tourists and the statement about the local people.
“Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith forever.”
“A dozen or so Gypsies had come to join our guard.”
“I thought: This is what the antechamber of hell must look like.”
“Freed from the barbers’ clutches, we began to wander about the crowd
Answer:
The correct answer is “Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith forever.”
Explanation:
This excerpt comes from Elie Wiesel's Night book. Here he relates the horrors experienced during the holocaust. "Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith forever" speaks of the flames where the Jews were cremated and that is exactly what made him lose faith.
He lost that faith not only in himself, but also in humanity, because it is inconceivable that there have been people who could do these atrocities against other people just for having a different religion.
Given this information we can say that the correct answer is Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith forever.
One candy bar cost $5.21.
You divide 26.05 by 5 and you get 5.21.
CHECK:
5.21+5.21+5.21+5.21+5.21=26.05 OR
5.21*5=26.05
One possible reason why poetry is neglected is that students often find it difficult to understand. It's true that interpreting the structure and meaning of a poem can be challenging, especially when students do not have enough experience reading difficult texts. Relating to poems that are hundreds of years old can create even more problems.
As an alternative, teachers should introduce modern poetry in class. Doing so will help keep students more interested and engaged. By reading poetry, students can develop good reading skills, which can be transferred to other types of text. Reading poetry aloud in class can also help students improve their listening and speaking skills.
Teachers should also be willing to find more creative ways to introduce poetry. For example, teachers might use poetry in a grammar lesson. By identifying when poets have used correct grammar or have broken the rules, students can learn a great deal about the different functions and uses of language. The ability to identify rhyme schemes, syllable patterns, and other poetic techniques can increase a student's overall appreciation of language.
Studying poetry does not have to be boring or difficult. In fact, it can be fun and easy, especially with regular practice. Poetry deserves to be celebrated more than once a year. Developing a love of literature includes developing a love of poetry.
