Shalonda wrote a story for a teen literary magazine. She revised a paragraph but kept a copy of the original. Read both versions

and then answer the question.
Original:

Tina scanned the crowd at the mall. Pairs and groups of people streamed by her: teenagers laughing and yelling, parents with young children in strollers, elderly couples holding hands. But she didn’t see anyone who was alone and looking for her.


Revision:

As Tina scanned the crowd at the mall, she knew she’d remember this day forever. Whether the memory was good or bad depended on what happened in the next few minutes. People streamed by her: groups of teenagers laughing and yelling, parents with young children in strollers, elderly couples holding hands. “Everyone is with someone else,” she thought. “No one is looking for me. The story of my life.”

Compare the original version and the revision. What does Shalonda’s revision accomplish?

A.
The added reflection in the first two sentences establishes that this is a potentially life-changing day for Tina. The short sentences at the end contain reflection that conveys Tina’s feelings of loneliness. These sentences also create a faster, more abrupt pace that reveals Tina might be bitter about her situation.
B.
The added reflection in the first two sentences establishes that this is a memorable day for Tina. The longer sentences establish a slower, more leisurely pace that is in keeping with Tina’s detailed observations. The flashback in the last sentence shifts the time and emphasizes Tina’s skill as a storyteller.
C.
Lengthening the opening sentences creates a slower, more leisurely pace that is in keeping with Tina’s sentimental nature. The reflection contained in these sentences conveys that Tina enjoys observing strangers. The two shorter sentences at the end create a faster, more abrupt pace that reveals Tina’s ability to switch from sentimental to bitter.
D.
Lengthening the opening sentences creates a slower pace that mirrors Tina’s anguish at the end. The reflection contained in these sentences conveys that Tina has been looking forward to this day. The summary in the last sentence places less importance on what has happened so far in Tina’s life and more importance on what is currently happening.

HELP ME PLZZ I NEED HELP
Alja [10]

Answer:

A is the answer.

Explanation:

In Latin, the phrase means "in the midst of things", so it is in the middle of something, usually a story.

It's the practice of beginning an epic or other narrative by plunging into a crucial situation that is part of a related chain of events; the situation is an extension of previous events and will be developed in later action.

QuickWrite What does it mean to "be free"?
maw [93]

Answer:

To be free has a lot of meaning, one could be, be free of responsibility or choice. In my opinion to be free means, to have the ability to do something without someone questioning my actions or try to stop me from doin g my actions. I can learn whatever I want and think how I want. I can talk how I want and have my own opinions without predijuice or bias against me. Be free is a very open statement that can be taken from a very moderate view of everyone has an opinion and no one can put you in jail for it to a very extremism view, like the book The Giver, where everyone doesn't make choices and the world is the same. Everyone would be free of this modern society in that book and be free from the burden of making money, hard choices, or how to live under weird conditions. Everyone follows instructions on how to live their daily lives. How to work, how to live, how to do most things. A book dictates what happens to criminals who break their laws people are free from deciding almost everything. Who they live, who they work with, what they learn, or how they learn. That is the term 'be free' in extremism. That is what it means to be free.

A perfect class room pet would be a gerbil because it is easy to take care of. It is also very small so it won’t take up a lot of space. Another reason would be that a gerbils cage is very easy to clean out.
