Think about any idioms you might use, where if you really analyzed the actual words, they wouldn’t make much sense, but the big

picture means something different. Write anything down that you can think of, and a brief explanation of what it means. The goal is to have you think a bit more critically about phrases that we tend to take for granted. Then, over the next three days, pay attention to any idioms you hear. If you hear anything that you’ve already written down, put a check mark next to it. If you hear anything new, add it to your list.
At the end of those three days, use those idioms to create a short story to put into your journal. Your goal will be to get as many idioms as possible into the story as you possibly can, and still have it make some sort of sense. The story itself should not be longer than 2 pages.

"It's raining cats and dogs"

"The rain is as cold as ice"

"It's so cold, we might be in Antarctica"

"Winter is as freezing as a polar bear's home"

"The sun won't shine until it is a million years later"

These are just some idioms. These include similes and metaphors.

Here's a short story.

Kaleb walked outside. "Oh, Mom, it's raining cats and dogs- how am I going to use my kite?" He shut the door, not letting the rain come in. "Not only that- the rain is as cold as ice. It's 22 degrees!" Kaleb's mom said. "Oh no, this wasn't the right time to buy a kite. Winter is as freezing as a polar bear's home, I hate this so much!" Kaleb said. "Oh, Kaleb, don't be so sad," said Kaleb's dad. "We can find a day, maybe tomorrow. It's windy tomorrow." "Oh, be quiet! It's raining all week! It will also be cold! It's so cold, we might be in Antarctica!" Kaleb's aunt (his dad's side) said. "Oh, man," Kaleb's dad said. Kaleb sighed, and put his kite away. "The sun won't shine until it is a million years later," he said.

Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin infuriated the South because it portrayed a black person as the martyr, as an honorable, good, and wise person. whereas a white person was shown as a sinner and a bad man.
As you already know, the South was the part of America that had slaves and that was against the abolition of slavery, so of course this novel infuriated them.

Read the poem excerpt.
timurjin [86]
The correct answer is The meter is fixed, drawing attention to the end rhyme.

Both lines have the same number of syllables and the accent pattern is identical in both, which means it is a fixed meter. Not every syllable is stressed however, only the ones that are required for the pattern.

Refer to your Expeditions in Reading book for a complete version of this text.
Aleks04 [339]

The main idea of the biography is that Dorothy deserves credit as a pioneer for her accomplishments at NASA. The sentence that confirms this is:

“…Vaughan was both a respected mathematician and NASA's first African-American manager.”

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Dorothy Vaughan's biography wants to show why she was a scientist and someone so important to American society.
  • In addition to having contributed a lot to the work of NASA, Vaughan was a pioneer in that institution.
  • That's because, NASA was an institution dominated by white people, who had more access to higher education and administrative positions.
  • However, Dorothy Vaughan became the first African-American manager that NASA had, in addition to being one of the first women to occupy this position, which makes her a pioneer.

As the central idea of a text is the main subject that the text intends to address, we can affirm that Dorothy Vaughan's pioneering spirit is the central idea of her biography.
