Chapters 5 and 6 give us a series of different documents that we use to learn more about characters and events. What are they?

Write a persuasive paragraph about healthy foods

castortr0y [4]

Explanation:

<h2><em><u>When something is detrimental to our health, we strive to avoid it whenever possible to extend our lives. We know that exposure to known cancer causing agents such as asbestos and lead paint is harmful; therefore, we do not expose ourselves to the risk and we certainly do not eat it. This seems simple; however, what do we do when that harmful vice is food? We cannot stop eating; instead, we must closely examine what we are putting into our bodies. When faced with the choice of a burger or grilled vegetables, most would choose the burger. These choices have lead us down a path littered with food related diseases, illnesses and rising healthcare costs. The state of Americans health is declining due to increasing obesity, diabetes and…show more content…</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>When something is detrimental to our health, we strive to avoid it whenever possible to extend our lives.

The salad dressing adds excessive calories and fat that often exceeds the amounts for a small hamburger, making it the unhealthy option.Society must educate itself on what type of food is healthy such as fresh or fresh frozen vegetables, lean meats, whole grains and fruits. Parents should take the time to explain what these are and why they are important, educating themselves if necessary. Families can also extend this education to a hands-on experience but starting a small vegetable garden which produces some of the vegetables they eat. Author and farmer, Sharon Astyk, and sustainable systems land planner, Aaron Newton, argue that people need to take back the control of the food selection and prices by growing their own or purchasing directly from local farmers. In their article, “The Rich Get Richer: the Poor Go Hungry”, Astyk and Newton (2015) write, “When we grow our own food, or buy it directly from local farmers, we take power away from multinationals” (p.518). I agree that society should become more involved and self-sustaining pertaining to food to retain independence from companies that are loyal to shareholders. This education will provide the current and future generations necessary resources to make improved food choices, thereby reducing the obesity and diabetes epidemics gripping our nation. </u></em></h2>

Why are Shakespeares plays condisderd difficult for nodern students to understand

Helga [31]

Well, there could be many reasons. First off, there are many different historical and cultural differences between Shakespeare's time and modern times that a modern student doesn't pick up on, doesn't understand.

Second, you simply have to take into account the fact that, with modern technology, students' attention spans have gotten so bad that simply reading Shakespeare plays is "too boring" for them.

Modern students want quick answers, a bubble they can circle on a multiple choice test type of answer. Interpreting Shakespearean plays requires thought and critical thinking, things that, I'm sorry, but no students seem to use nowadays.

Also, there is the small fact that, especially amongst teenage males, things like plays and reading Shakespeare are labeled as feminine or "gay".

Grandfather stayed silent until we approached a limping man dressed in dark rags, pushing a cart.

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The first uses dialogue and character; the second uses first-person point of view.

Explanation:

The first excerpt is found in Chapter Eight titled "September 2nd, 1973" from <em>Fever 1793</em> by Laurie Halse Anderson is based on the yellow fever epidemic that ravaged Philadelphia. The story is from the point of view of the young Mattie Cook, describing how the pandemic had destroyed the lives of the people.

The second excerpt is from <em>The Summer of the Pestilence</em> by George Dodd Armstrong. The book also deals with the history of the same yellow fever that not only affected Philadelphia but also other parts of the nation such as Virginia.

While both books deal with the same pandemic, their dealing with the issue of unprecedented deaths differ a bit. The first book uses a dialogue-conversation approach, with the characters greatly involved whereas the second book uses the first person point of view to address the deaths. These two books may deal with the same issue but their approaches of the deaths and sick people differ such that their narrative plots also differ.
