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.

Whitepunk [10]

A summary should include a discussion of central ideas and key details in my own words.

Answer: D

Explanation

When writing, it merely explains what the whole story is all about in a few words.

However, you need to touch every aspect of the story, in brief, to ensure the meaning is not lost.

Before writing a summary, you need to read and understand the story to make it easier when writing down,

A review gives readers a clear overview of what the story is about and their expectation when reading.

Thus it needs to be clear and straight forward.

allsm [11]
To answer this, you just need to figure out what you think influences what. Do you think that society forces people into things they don't want, in turn "messing them up" or is it people influencing society, messing it up? It's similar to the age old question of which came first: the chicken or the egg. You just need to pick something and be able to support it in your answer for your seminar.

For the second part, you'll have to keep in mind your answer for the first part. Depending on what you choose there, you'll want to make sure your second answer supports this. It just wants you to pinpoint what, if anything, is wrong with people or society that might influence whichever way it is you're leaning for question 1.
