When she comes I will meet — but there they are!Maggie attempts to make a dash for the house, in her shuffling way, but I stay h

er with my hand. "Come back here," I say. And she stops and tries to dig a well in the sand with her toe.It is hard to see them clearly through the strong sun. But even the first glimpse of leg out of the car tells me it is Dee. Her feet were always neat-looking, as if God himself had shaped them with a certain style. From the other side of the car comes a short, stocky man. Hair is all over his head a foot long and hanging from his chin like a kinky mule tail. I hear Maggie suck in her breath. "Uhnnnh," is what it sounds like. Like when you see the wriggling end of a snake just in front of your foot on the road. "Uhnnnh."Dee next. A dress down to the ground, in this hot weather. A dress so loud it hurts my eyes. There are yellows and oranges enough to throw back the light of the sun. I feel my whole face warming from the heat waves it throws out. Earrings gold, too, and hanging down to her shoulders. Bracelets dangling and making noises when she moves her arm up to shake the folds of the dress out of her armpits. The dress is loose and flows, and as she walks closer, I like it. I hear Maggie go "Uhnnnh" again. It is her sister's hair. It stands straight up like the wool on a sheep. It is black as night and around the edges are two long pigtails that rope about like small lizards disappearing behind her ears."Wa-su-zo-Tean-o!" she says, coming on in that gliding way the dress makes her move. The short stocky fellow with the hair to his navel is all grinning and he follows up with "Asalamalakim, my mother and sister!" He moves to hug Maggie but she falls back, right up against the back of my chair. I feel her trembling there and when I look up I see the perspiration falling off her chin. Which line from the passage best symbolizes Dee's character?
A. Like when you see the wriggling end of a snake just in front of your foot on the road.
B. And she stops and tries to dig a well in the sand with her toe.
C. The dress is loose and flows, and as she walks closer, I like it.
D. Hair is all over his head a foot long and hanging from his chin like a kinky mule tail.

Which language techniques could you use to make a blog more effective and why
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:  Picking the Perfect Topic

Explanation:

Knowing what to write about is the most difficult part about blogging. Based on your business, industry, and your overall purpose of blogging (which you should set goals for), you probably have hundreds of half-ideas on what to blog about. Before you start typing, however, come to terms with the fact that there are thousands of other blogs already out there trying to do the same thing. What sets them apart? Well, that answer is easy:

Popular, effective blogs tap into trending events, pop culture, and news. You can do this by checking out competition and staying up to date on your industry.

These blogs inform rather than promote. People have a take-away, observe a call-to-action, and potentially share/like a blog because they think others will enjoy it.

On top of being informative, successful blogs are entertaining. Forgo the tight language and traditional three sentence, grad school essay structure.

Successful blogs also have a long lifespan.
