Acute: If you are talking about Medicine, it is a very severe, very sudden occurrence of something. Acute Leukemia is a bone marrow disease that if you get it, it is severe and practically untreatable with reliable results.

If you are talking about acute as an adjective, like acute shortage of food, the meaning is that the food situation better be attended to immediately.

If you are talking about very observant (as in sharp as a tack like Sherlock Holmes) then acute means very observant, very quick to put ideas together.

=========================

Chronic: disease as in Chronic Leukemia. Persisting for a very long time. Chronic Leukemia is much easier to live with that acute. The bone marrow is not working correctly but a patient can function normally with chronic diseases. They can be quite annoying but you don't normally die from them.

The general meaning is long lasting and persistent in our ability to deal with a problem as in a chronic problem that housing for everyone presents.

lara [203]

The rhetorical device used on that excerpt is metaphor, as one can see on the use of freedom on one side and chains of poverty on the other side. As well, there is a metaphorical treatment on the case of good words to good deeds.

Imagine you were Harry Potter in the story, write a diary entry that reflects your thoughts and feelings about an event in the s
Alla [95]

Answer:

<em>Hello, this is Harry Potter. The date is 5/12/1999.</em>

<em>After the discovery of Tom Riddle's diary, I decided I ought to do some writing myself. For all I know Lucius Malfoy will have me murdered by tomorrow for giving that bloody sock to Dobby. I don't deserve it, Dobby tried to have me killed twenty times this year. At least. But I'm finished with this whole saving the world scam. Voldemort is gone. I need to focus on my education... Or at least that's what Hermione says.</em>

<em>I've finished exams and am supposed to be packing, but I bought this in Hogsmeade and figured I ought to make my first entry. I'll be stuck going back to the Dursley's for the summer, and I'm not thrilled but at least I'll still have a wand to wave and a school to look forward to returning to. I thought for sure that I'd be expelled after the flying car. </em>

<em>Well, Hermione and Ron are having a row again, I ought to go sort them out... til tomorrow then,</em>

<h2><em>Harry Potter</em></h2>

Hope this helps :)

A paragraph on do you have fun on your own when you are sent on an errand
zubka84 [21]
I do not have fun when I am sent on errands. Errands are busy-work and I am already an extremely busy person! When I go on an errand, I get in there and I get it done. I try to complete my objective as fast as possible.
