Name three possible agendas and one example of each that you might find in the media.

Answers

1.       Social media can reveal the private life of a person when this person allows it.

2.       It does not give you a sense of privacy

3.       It influences the decision of the netizens through false accusations.

4.       It does not give you the freedom of choice since everyone can criticize you

5.       The person is so dependent on it that it does not give time for one to reconsider if his or her post is acceptable or not

The research on the agenda-setting of media is intended to explain how the salience of issues in the news affect the public's perception of their relative importance. There are three commonly identified types of agendas: public agenda, media agenda and policy agenda.

Public agenda setting occurs when the public is the one who decides what is reported (for example, when the issues that matter to the public during elections are reported by the media). Media agenda setting, instead, is when the media considers the agenda for which stories are considered relevant (for example, when the media reports on little-known issues they believe are important). Finally, policy setting is when both the public and the media agendas influence policy making (for example, when the media and the public force a debate in the government).

Which of these excerpts from Homer’s Iliad contains an epic simile?As wasps, provoked by children in their play,
Pour from their mansions by the broad highway,
In swarms the guiltless engage,
Whet all their stings, and call forth all their rage: traveller

Great Jove consents to half the chief’s request,
But heaven’s eternal doom denies the rest;
To free the fleet was granted to his prayer;
His safe return, the winds dispersed in air

Joyful they heard, and kindling as he spoke,
Flew to the fleet, involved in fire and smoke.
From shore to shore the doubling shouts resound,
The hollow ships return a deeper sound.

In equal arms two sons of Nestor stand,
And two bold brothers of the Lycian band:
By great Antilochus, Atymnius dies,
Pierced in the flank, lamented youth! he lies,

Answers

Why does ponyboy feel like an outsider

Answers

Because he doesn't fit - he belongs in a group called Greasers who are from broken homes, poor economic situation and little education. But he is also outsider within that group - he is younger than most of the boys, he is still in school and pretty bright.
He feels like he doesn't belong. He likes poetry, and books and does things differently than the other greasers. He is way less rowdy than any of the over boys and he is always thinking and dreaming. Also, he is the youngest so he can't relate to everything the older boys do or experience. (like things involving relationships) 
hope this helps.
