"We lived on Waverly Place, in a warm, clean, two-bedroom flat that sat above a small Chinese bakery specializing in steamed pastries and dim sum." "At the end of our two-block alley was a small sandlot playground with swings and slides well-shined down the middle with use. The play area was bordered by wood-slat benches where old-country people sat cracking roasted watermelon seeds with their golden teeth and scattering the husks to an impatient gathering of gurgling pigeons. The best playground, however, was the dark alley itself. It was crammed with daily mysteries and adventures." “Rules of the Game” <span>from The Joy Luck Club</span>by Amy Tan

Can someone write an essay about the passage animals in captivity.
Lilit [14]

Answer: Claim:In this article, the author’s purpose is to emphasize why it is dangerous for the animals and their well being because they are  stuck in a zoo. Evidence: For example, in the 1st paragraph, the author writes, “That most of the animals that are in the zoo never return to the wild .” Reasoning:  The author uses this example because she wants the audience to know how animals are being treated and how they never leave the zoo. Evidence:  In addition, in paragraph 7, the author writes “According to PETA,  A nonprofit group that fights for animal rights, only 18 percent of animals in United States zoos are actually endangered.” Reasoning:  The author uses this example because she wants the audience to

Know that Zoos are only breeding animals to attract more visitors.

How does this quotation appeal to readers' emotions? It appeals to readers' delight by showing the joy of family life. It appeal
andrew-mc [135]

I looked this question up and found this excerpt it refers to. It is the following:

I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her, but I do remember she asked me no questions. I made five exposures, working closer and closer from the same direction. I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age, that she was thirty-two. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat in that lean-to tent with her children huddled around her, and seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me. There was a sort of equality about it.

Answer:

The quotation appeals to readers' emotions because:

B. It appeals to readers' sympathy by describing difficult times.

Explanation:

According to the quotation by Dorothea Lange on her famous photograph "Migrant Mother", <u>the woman whose picture she took is suffering terribly. She has no money and barely any food for her children. We can't help but feel sympathy for her when we read they are surviving on frozen vegetables found in the surrounding fields and birds that the children kill. Many of us have experienced difficult times, but not many of us would have needed to sell the tires from our cars to buy food, or to live in a tent.</u>

Having that in mind, we can easily choose letter B as the correct option: It appeals to readers' sympathy by describing difficult times.

Identify 3 elements in Beowulf that make it an epic poem and give examples of each from the text
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

a long, often book-length, narrative in verse form that retells the heroic journey of a single person or a group of persons. Elements that typically distinguish epics include superhuman deeds, fabulous adventures, highly stylized language, and a blending of lyrical and dramatic traditions.

Beowulf qualifies as an epic poem on several of these criteria. First, it is book-length, and it is a story that is written in the verse format. It tells the tale of the main character, Beowulf’s, heroic journey to slay the monster and then much later kill the dragon. During the poem, he has several adventures and accomplishes nearly superhuman deeds, as when he kills Grendel.

Grendel is a monster that lives at the bottom of the swamp. One night, Grendel kills some of King Hrothgar’s soldiers while they are asleep. This leads the King’s people to fear Grendel, as the monster terrorizes them over a period of more than a decade. Not surprisingly, King Hrothgar...

How do I write a 5 sentence paragraph using chronological order about getting ready for work?
LuckyWell [14K]

The alarm goes off and I hit the snooze and go back to bed. Then it goes off again and I hit the snooze again and go back to bed. It goes off a third time, and I hit it one more time. Finally, I realize I have 15 minutes to get out the door, so I take a very fast shower, brush my teeth and get dressed. I have no time to make coffee, so I grab my car keys, wallet and phone, bolt past the dogs, and hop in my car.
