Explanation:

<h2>                          Frozen Daggers</h2>

She wore an angered expression paired with blue eyes sharp as frozen daggers.

Not worried about piercing you,

but rather how much you'd bleed.

Daggers that killed countless lives on a cold winter day.

Daggers that have been cleaned of blood by simply dipping them in the snow.

Making the knife as cold as the heart of the person who used it.

Daggers that killed ones it loved and cherished.

Daggers that show no mercy.

Daggers that stained the clean snow red that winter's evening.

Though the dagger wasn't kind, the winter day was.

Children played in the white flakes.

People built innocent snowmen.

Along with that they also built bonds and memories.

They built things they loved and not too soon after, lost.

Everyone played in the snow and built bonds no matter how different they were.

The winter day brought them together with to intention of taking them apart.

The winter loved them.

The winter thrived off of their happiness.

Joy was its source of life.

​

This is why her daggers are frozen.

She is the kindest soul to exist.

Yet she is not to be underestimated or you might just end up cut.

7. A student would like to convince her classmates to join her in a local protest
noname [10]

Answer:

A short video presented on social media showing the effects of gun violence and clips of other protests around the country, using music and text as support.

Explanation:

- letter to the local newspaper would attract more of the community and you would have to get the newspaper as an outlet for your protest, not the best way to appeal to your classmates...

- social media is a great platform to appeal to young people, espesially if the young people look up to you, plus visuals have power

- nobody wants to hear why they should attend, they want to be educated on why the issue itself, not the protest, is important and worth protesting

- that may be effective but boring for most students who would prefer visuals that are snappy and right to the point.
