According to the narrator, it is possible to tell a cataleptic is still alive because a heartbeat is perceptible, the body is still warm, some color remains in the cheek, and breathing can be detected by putting a mirror to the lips.

Specifically, Poe writes the cataleptic "is senseless and externally motionless; but the pulsation of the heart is still faintly perceptible; some traces of warmth remain; a slight color lingers within the centre of the cheek; and, upon application of a mirror to the lips we can detect a torpid, unequal, and vacillating action of the lungs."

Answer:

Saving mother nature is an important thing. Waste products and polluted air are big problems to our land. Wasting water is also a big problem. If we continue, we will eventually pollute the entire world.  

Cars produce fumes, which pollute the air. Car companies are working on electric cars to stop this problem. Every time you throw a piece of plastic n the ground, it takes years to dissolve. Every single thing we do matters, even cutting  down a tree.

If we want to continue using this earth, we need to protect it. Next time you have garbage, put it in a trash can. When you brush your teeth, turn off the water. A healthy earth is a happy earth, and it would make others happy too.

Using an active voice for the majority of your sentences makes your meaning clear for readers, and keeps the sentences from becoming too complicated or wordy. Passive voice makes sentences wordier and can cloud the meaning of your sentence.

In these examples the use of passive voice can be replaced by active voice by removing extra words like 'been' and re-arranging the sentence structure.

Here are the rewritten sentences:

<em>The thieves have been arrested by the police.</em>

Remove 'been' and 'by' then switch 'police' with 'thieves'.

The police have arrested the thieves.

<em>The marvelous performance delivered by the children enthralled us.</em>

Remove 'delivered by the children'

The marvelous performance enthralled us.

<em>He has been invited to their party.</em>

Remove 'he has' replace with 'they have'

They have invited him to their party.

<em>We have shipped your order.</em>

Simplify the sentence to only have a verb and a subject.

The order has shipped.

<em>The girl recited the poem beautifully.</em>

Replace 'The girl' with 'she'

She recited the poem beautifully.

Answer:

i did six. i cant go any farther

these all are origianal, and i worked really hard.

#1. Horror: As I crept down the hall to the office, I felt a chill roll down my spine as I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. A doll. Not just any doll, THE doll. The doll that has haunted my dreams since I was six. Here is how it all happened.

#2. Comedy: Hi, my name is (Louise/Louis), I'm five foot seven, and I'm a total loser, or at least I was a total loser. that was until my best friend John posed a video of me dancing to my favorite song on Intsa'. Now, I am a total loser, with no friends, and a thousand hits.

#3. Romance: Everyday I wonder when the perfect person for me will come along. I wonder where. and i wonder who. But i had never wondered if it would be my best friend, Aspen Moral. He is the hottest dude in school, I never noticed that. He is totally cool, I never noticed that. And I never noticed that he was really good at making me feel like I have never felt before. Until now.

#4. Mystery: Shawn was my best friend, my sisters boyfriend, and the most popular guy at school. Everyone loved him, everyone knew him. He was such a great guy, never did anything wrong to anyone. So why would anyone kill him. That has been the question on everyone's mind since that night. The police have given up, and we still haven't gotten closure. it is time for me to figure this out, for me, for my sister and for the whole town, i will find the man who killed Shawn.

#5. Science fiction/futuristic: He knows. Someone told him. I haven't told anybody. Ever. So how did the president figure out about the Cyborg Rebelion. We have been planning for five years. We started in 3087. It is now 3092. Five years of work down the drain. Whoosh! A droid rushes past me in the hall of my school.

#6. Dystopian. my worst genre as an author. jesus

The bell. That means another death. Another one who tried to escape. Another life gone down the drain. Lyrica hoped that she didn't know who did it. she had already lost Mirce, here brother, Swan and Dove here twin best friends who were twins. Everytime someone tries to get out, and doesn't succeed, a bell chimes. This has been happening for hundreds of years. millions of people gone. All because of Marissa Lupez.
