Read the passage and answer the question that follows.Chief Joseph's Surrender Speech, October 5, 1877 by Chief Joseph Tell General Howard I know his heart. What he told me before, I have it in my heart. I am tired of fighting. Our Chiefs are killed; Looking Glass is dead, Ta Hool Hool Shute is dead. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say yes or no. He who led on the young men is dead. It is cold, and we have no blankets; the little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are—perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children, and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my Chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever. How does the speech's final sentence connect to the first? The first sentence makes an emotional appeal; the final sentence makes an ethical appeal. The first sentence acknowledges the speaker's mentor; the final sentence says he will no longer fight with that mentor. The first sentence describes the speaker's longtime foe; the final sentence describes their agreement to no longer do battle. The first sentence acknowledges to whom the speaker is surrendering; the final sentence formally states that surrender.

Which word in this excerpt from act I, scene I, of Richard III means “to listen”?

Answers

Richard III was a historical play written by Shakespeare in 1593. At that time people used old English like hearken that has changed to hear or listen nowadays.
Since you didn't write the excerpt here, I am going to assume that there is a word 'hearken' somewhere in the text. If there is, that is your answer - it is an archaic, old word for modern 'listen'.

When doing a close reading, what is involved in the process of annotating a text?

Answers

When doing a close reading, some find it useful to annotate the text by putting in little notes and explanations of what is being said. This helps the reader remember details. This can be done in the margins of the text or on a separate pad.

When one annotates, what is involved is usually whateverwill help a student (or reader) do whatever it is he or she needs to be done bymanner of in-text note taking in order to best understand the text beingread.  For instance, typically, in themargins of a text, notes can be taken that provide a summary of aparagraph.  Areas of the text, too, canbe highlighted/underlined that are confusing as a reminder to do additionalresearch on otherwise confusing concepts presented in a text.  Some students will circle key words anddefinitions and even write down questions or ideas he or she may have had whenreading for later class discussion or future research.  Thus, again, annotating is a type of in-textnote taking one may do in order to help him or her better comprehend a text.
