Roosevelt means that a <em>muck-raker</em> - a journalist- is that person interested in dirt or filthy things - <em>muck</em>-. That person will do anything to get filthy information and to get it,  he / she will use a  <em>rake </em>to scratch the soil - or reality -  to pick up or invent the dark side of  humans. Roosevelt is furious because a group of journalists have disclosed controversial issues from his government. He shows his anger through   this speech on "The Man with the Muck- Rake" (1906).

What ways is chapter 4 of the story of my life by helen kller similar to a short story?
kkurt [141]
<span>Chapter 4 is very important to Helen Keller’s life. It explains when her teacher was first teaching her how to communicate. Without her teacher Helen  probably would not have been able to communicate well or tell people what she wanted. It also demonstrated the way her teacher taught and how Helen reacted. I think that in this chapter Helen learned a little responsibly and learned from her actions. I think that it will make it easier for her because the teacher is helping her learn in ways that no one not even her family and friends could. I think that the teaching will also help her conquer great things in other parts of the book as well because she can be taught she just has to focus. Maybe she will get even closer to her family because of what happened. She learned in this chapter how to match words with what they were. I think this will also help her later in the book. One thing that stuck with me is after learning how to spell doll in the palm of her hand she went to show her mother. This shows that she probably had a good relationship with her mom and she cared what she thought about her. This chapter also showed that people underestimated Helen’s ability’s to learn and communicate with others.   I do not think that this will be the most important chapter of the book because so many other great things could happen to her throughout the book. It might very well be the most important but I’m just not quite sure about that. I do have to say this may be one of the most important parts. I do think  that the most important chapter will be coming along in the book soon because what happened in this one.</span>

He's trying to explain what exactly motivated him, particularly in the second paragraph. It was none of the things that would motivate someone to commit murder. Gain of any kind was out of the question. Feelings were not the motive. Nothing the old man had motivated him.


It was just his eye. So he's in a battle with himself. (That's the first answer).


We are leading up to something and we need to have a background. This is not the climax or the resolution. It is not the falling action -- just the opposite. It is the build up towards the climax.


So the only thing it can be is the exposition which is the second answer.

Nobody enjoyed the song into passive voice​
pickupchik [31]

The song wasn't enjoyed by anyone.

Passive voice is a sentence where the object undergoes the action.

Here, the object is the song, and the subject is if it was enjoyed by anyone.

Hope it helps. :)
