Read the passage. The Dust Bowl During the 1930s, extreme drought and high winds made life incredibly difficult in the Great Pla

ins region of the United States. In many areas, rainfall was forty percent less than normal. The soil became extremely dry, and when strong winds blew, they created tremendous dust storms. These so-called “black blizzards” were so thick that they made daylight seem like dusk. During this terrible period, the Great Plains region of the United States was named the “Dust Bowl.” Over the next few years, the drought continued, and the winds created more dust storms. In some places, the drought and high winds lasted for eight years. Many people wondered if the black blizzards would ever end. Which statement about this paragraph’s main idea is true?

Answer:

  • " The soil became extremely dry, and when the strong winds blew, they created tremendous dust storms"
  • "in some places, the drought and high winds lasted for eight years"

Explanation:

Dust Bowl was a sandstorm phenomenon that occurred in the United States in the 1930s and lasted almost ten years. It was an economic and environmental disaster that severely affected much of the United States of America.

It occurred in three events (1934, 1936 and 1939-1940), but some of the regions of the High Plains experienced drought conditions for almost eight years. The dust bowl effect was caused by years of inadequate soil management practices. This became susceptible to wind forces, which caused a drought induced by the high level of soil particles suspended in the air. The soil, stripped of moisture, was raised by wind in great clouds of dust and sand so thick that they hid the sun for several days. These days were referred to as "black breezes" or "black wind."

Note to friends: a note is informal and straight to the point

Hey. I know we had plans but there's been a change. I got in trouble a while back and my parents are sure of me going out. I've been trying everything, from doing all of my homework, getting good grades, and even doing extra chores. I will try to convince them to let me hang tonight. Talk to you soon and I'll keep you updated.

Letter to parents: Formal and well-planned

Dear Mom and Dad,

I understand that you may still be upset that I messed up. I am truly sorry and I promise it will never happen again. I am writing this letter to ask you for leniency in your rules. I understand that I must suffer the consequences of my actions, but please consider the fact that I have never been in trouble before. I assure you I have learned from my actions and these things will never happen again. I am asking for a latter curfew hour and more days to spend with my friends. I ask that you think hard about this and consider the facts.

Thank You,
(Your name)

Write one effective paragraph on why I should start watching Teen wolf?
pogonyaev
1. Creature mythology

Despite the name, Teen Wolf isn’t just about werewolves. It includes banshees, kitsune, berserkers, oni, wendigo, hellhounds , and other shapeshifters. Hunters are also part of the Teen Wolf mythology, creating an ever-evolving dynamic with their supernatural counterparts. The variety of creatures and their successful integration into the overall storyline keeps Teen Wolf novel and engaging, even after five seasons.

2. Compelling stories

As new creatures appear on the scene we get interesting and suspenseful story arcs to accompany their arrival. Teen Wolf is grounded in good writing and strong storylines. The story arc of Season 3 centered on Japanese spirits and supernatural beings while incorporating the history of the American government’s internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. Each season has provided interesting narratives through a changing cast of characters.

3. Engaging performances

Tyler Posey plays Alpha werewolf Scott McCall Teen Wolf also stars fan favorites Dylan O'Brien as Stiles, HollandRoden as Lydia, and ArdenCho as Kira.

4. Teen life

As well as having smart stories with well-written dialogue, Teen Wolf never forgets the challenges of being a teenager. The awkwardness of teenage life—making friends, navigating romantic life, dealing with parents, and just growing up—plays out on screen. Most days it’s hard to be an adolescent, but an adolescent with supernatural powers creates unexpected challenges. During Season 4, character Malia Tate returns to human society after eight years of living as a coyote, she has to adjust to normal human behavior and even learn math as she returns to school amongst mostly regular teens.


5. Forbidding villains

A hallmark of an interesting television show is a moral complexity to its characters, particularly the villains. Throughout the series, we have seen foes becomes friends and found those thought to be allies turn out to be villains. In Teen Wolf it’s more complex than just humans against creatures. Some supernatural creatures try to do the right thing, while others have evil intent, as is true with humans. Season 5 had a horror movie vibe and a trio of terrifying villains called the Dread Doctors.

6. Fan favorite

Teen Wolf has an intense fan base, and in return, the show is very involved with its fans. Tyler Posey and Teen Wolf creator Jeff Davis attended an exhibition of fan art commissioned to promote Season 5. In January 2015 Teen Wolf launched a fan competition, Creature Feature, to create a new monster. The winning entry, by Jessica Short, was a creature called a Slaugh, which can devour the souls of the innocent. The fan-driven Sterek Campaign Charity Project raised $25,000 for a wolf sanctuary and won MTV’s Fandom Feat of the Year in 2014. The loyal fans can’t get enough of Teen Wolf, so MTV has not one, but two after-shows—Wolf Watch and The After After Show. Both of these after-shows have fun fan segments each week. Teen Wolf is a very inclusive community.

7. The bromance

The key relationship in Teen Wolf is that between Scott McCall and his best friend “Stiles” Stilinski. The two actors are friends in real life, having lived together, along with castmate Tyler Hoechlin, during the filming of Seasons 1 and 2. When you see Posey and O’Brien on screen, you can’t miss their great chemistry. Their on-screen portrayal of two young men who have been friends since childhood has resulted in some of the most moving scenes in the series.
8. Scary stuff

Teen Wolf is scary without being gory. Some of the creatures on the show are downright terrifying, and the writing builds up characters in ways that make them psychologically disturbing. The frightening locations of Teen Wolf amp up the scare power of the series. Chases in darkened school hallways and eerie woods give the series that extra chill factor. There’s an abundance of abandoned buildings in Beacon Hills, but other scary locations include the burned remains of the Hale Family house, an empty Chernobyl-esque Russian facility, the creepy lair of the Dread Doctors, the Oak Creek internment camp, and the run-down psychiatric hospital known as Eichen House. The scenes meant to frighten us are drawn out in a way that increases the tension, using dialogue to emphasize the impact.


9. Strong female characters

The women on Teen Wolf aren’t damsels waiting to be rescued, but powerful and unique individuals. Holland Rodenas Lydia, Crystal Reed as Allison, ArdenCho as Kira, and Shelley Hennigas Malia play a wide spectrum of teen characters that give the show a richness and complexity without resorting to stereotypes.

10. Comedic dialogue

When a show has good writing and strong acting like Teen Wolf does, it can be dramatic and scary while also being quite funny. Stiles is the most obvious comedic character, both intentionally through his sarcasm and unintentionally through his awkwardness.
