age that uses ellipses correctly.
One day, while at work in the coal-mine, I happened to overhear two miners talking about a great school for coloured people somewhere in Virginia.

I believe it would be the second passage because an ellipse is used when a word, phrase or thought is left out but the reader still understands the intended meaning. In choice two, the narrator is speaking of school and making a point that he had never heard of a school for coloured people and restates it at the end that this was the first time he heard of it. It lets the reader imagine what must be going through his mind without stating it in the writing.

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

actual malice, because Joan is a limited-purpose public figure as she voluntarily thrust herself into a public controversy

Explanation:

In law, actual malice is simply a requirement that is imposed on a particular person who claims her image is being tarnished by someone when filing a lawsuit for slander or libel. This will be found in a case where the defendant actually publishes a false statement (libel) or communicates it (slander), knowing fully well that the information is false and disregard for what such information can cause. Joan is actually a limited-purpose figure and decided to go public by making efforts to get her voice out there in a quest to build more bike lanes.

How does Kim Ha change from her life in wartime Vietnam to her experience in Alabama?​
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Her life during the war in Vietnam and her new American life in Alabama taught her the differences between people and also the new way of life on the far side of the globe. She learned to read and write in English, speak in it, and also make friends in her school. Moreover, she also learned to accept the things that may not be the same as the ones in Vietnam, like the dried papayas instead of the real papaya she so wanted.

Explanation:

Thanhha Lai's verse novel <em>Inside Out and Back Again</em> revolves around the life of a young girl named Kim Ha and her life transitioning from war-torn Vietnam to American life in Alabama. The book is also part biographical for most of the events in Kim Ha's life were also experienced by the author herself.

When Saigon fell and the North Communist army began to take over the place, Ha and her family boarded the navy ship and escaped. Taken by a cowboy sponsor from Alabama, the whole family began a new life in the two-bedroom house paid for by the sponsor. And from then on, Ha's life began to change. She was deemed a stranger in her new school, their neighbors were rude, students picking on her which led to her eating lunch in the bathroom. But after her encounter with Miss Washington, her life began to change again. She took English classes, learned the proper use of the articles and the verb forms, learned self-defense from her brother Vu Lee, made new friends in Pam/Pem, and Steven/ SSs ì - Ti - Vâ n. She also began to adapt to the change in their living, their food, and most importantly, the loss of their navy father.

She also learned to accept the things in America that may not be to the mark like the ones back at home in Vietnam. She has also accepted the fact that her father will not return to them and that they will have to create a new permanent life in Alabama without him.

Can someone help me write a small Argumentative Essay on ANYTHING!!!!!
ANEK [815]
Existence is futile. this simple statement is an inconvenient truth. many of us (the human species) spend their whole lives in pursuit of a goal that they hope will get them remembered for generations. even if one acheives such exalteration they've hardly altered the course of human history and even if they did, so what? who is going to care if we get off this rock prison we call earth or if we bake ourselves alive. nothing anyone can do can stop the sun from exploding nor the universe from ending in the heat death 1e+100 years from now.

When is it acceptable to use passive voice in your writing?
Mkey [24]

The <u>passive voice</u> is formed by the verb <em>to be</em> into whatever tense needed and the past participle of the main verb. Whether to use the passive voice or not is a matter of style. However, some of the most frequent uses of the passive voice are:

  • to report actions whose author is unknown
  • to explain something within a scientific context
  • to emphasize the action or its object instead of the doer of the action.
