Answer:Our football team had two injured players; we lost the game.

Explanation:One of the most common uses of semicolon is to join two independent clauses without having to appeal to a conjunction (such as "and"). In this case, we have "Our football team had two injured players" and "We lost the game". Both of them are independent clauses, therefore the use of semicolon is correct in this sentence.

What does beatty tell montag about how books disappeared? what is your reaction to his explanation?

otez555 [7]

In 'Fahrenheit 451', Beatty tells Montag that the decline of books started during the Civil War era. In that time, radio and television became a big thing, and books were less interesting to the general public. People started wanting to know quick news, celebrity gossip, and about the entertaining things that were going on. They became less interested in books. Books became of less quality, and education declined. He also went on to discuss how different authors disagreed with each other, especially on the war, and therefore, the solution was found to get rid of books. The reaction of his explanation is that people would rather have exciting information whether it was true or not than engage in learning through reading a book. They like to do the least amount of work possible in order to amuse themselves.

Reread these quotes shown about decision making:

allochka39001 [22]

The two novels being analyzed are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland written Lewis Carroll and Harry Potter and Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling. Both novels have the main character traveling through a magical world. The adventure does not begin for either character until they enter that fantasy world. The authors of both books do a great job of using humor and fantasy to capture the readers attention. Each novel has its own special qualities, but one argument is for sure, both books are fantasies.

Secondly, the author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland uses humor and fantasy to appeal to both children and adults. This novel would appeal to children because of the many fantasy creatures, such as a talking rabbit, a disappearing cat, and soldiers made out of cards. A child pays more attention to a book when the characters are fantasy creatures.
