Answer:
A student at school other than online school is better for so many reasons! One reason would be making friends! And I can talk to my classmates and I wouldn't need to do so much. I could even share things with other students! Sure, I miss my family, but they would be happy I'm learning a lot of things and ask for help when I need it!
Explanation:
When we read books, the stories in them transport us from the world we are in to the world within the pages of the book. To be transported by a book requires the reader to have an emotional response to the book, to visualise the story and eventually, become immersed in it. As a reader, I consider myself lucky to have read several books that have made me lose awareness of my existing surroundings and drawn me into the story unravelling in the book.
“There’s always room for a story that can transport people to another place.” – J.K. Rowling
When I think of being transported by a book, a recent incident comes to my mind. On a winter morning, I had boarded a train to Furkating, a small town in Assam. It was a bleak morning and the sun was a pale yellow, melting into a silver sky. In a compartment colder than December, I sat tucked in my winter clothes amidst rows of filled seats. As the train started with a jolt, I brought out a book from my overstuffed handbag and started reading the first chapter.
Soon, I was deeply engrossed in the story and before I knew it half an hour had passed… The train was starting to slow down as we had reached a station; on a cemented slab in yellow, the letters read ‘Panbari’. Some of the seats in front of me that were previously filled now lay empty. Two of the solo passengers who sat ahead of me had struck up a conversation about the weather in Dimapur – probably the place they were heading to. The winter sun was now splattered across the sky and shining over thatched-roof villages that we were fast leaving behind as the train gained momentum.
Mary Balogh describes it perfectly, “Have you ever wanted to travel back in time? I know I have. And I think that’s why historical romance is so appealing. That experience of being so immersed in the story that it feels like you’re really there: strolling along in a moonlit rose garden with a duke, or taking tea in a lady’s finely appointed drawing room. And if you’re the adventurous type (like me), perhaps you find yourself riding on a cable car in San Francisco, or exploring the canals of Venice in a gondola. Whatever the tale, these new experiences are just waiting to be discovered; beckoning you, enticing you, entreating you to pause, to sit down and to spend time between the pages of a good book.”

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Mio Strand is in the Province of Suruga. Its sand is yellow and fine, strewn with rose shells at the ebb tide. Its pine trees are ancient and they lean all one way, which is the way that the wild wind wills. Before Mio rolls the deep sea, and behind Mio rises Fugi, the most sacred, the mountain of mountains. Small marvel that the Strange People should come to Mio. Of the Strange People not much is known, even at Mio, though it is sure they come there. It seems they are shy indeed, more’s the pity. They come through the blue air, or across the mysterious paths of the sea. Their footprints are never, never seen upon the wet beach, for they tread too lightly. But sometimes in their dancing they sweep their robes upon the sand and leave it ribbed and ruffled; so, often enough, it may be seen at Mio. What effect is accomplished by the author beginning the story with these descriptions?
Answer:
The author wishes to create a mystical and mysterious atmosphere for the text.
Explanation:
The author uses a descriptive language, with a wide use of adjectives that aims to show how Mio Strand and its inhabitants, as well as its atmosphere has a tone of mystery, mysticism and something beyond our reality. With this, the author creates a tone for the story, which ritualizes the reader about how the mood of the narrative will be. In other words, we can say that the author's intention is to create a mysterious and mystical mood.
An act of course of action to which a person is morally or legally bound; a duty or commitment.
Form a theory or set of theories about something
Answer:
Prove a position
Explanation:
An author's purpose in an argument is to "prove a position." In order to do this, he tries to persuade the readers by<em> providing evidence</em> which supports his claim or position. It makes his stance clear by providing statements that will support his <u>point-of-view.</u> This is often used in "controversial issues."
So, this explains the answer.
