Bumek [7]2 years ago

Answer:

<u>All of the above. The following lines in the excerpt from "Flight" by John Steinbeck contain personification:</u>

"The farm buildings huddled like the clinging aphids on the mountain skirts, crouched low to the ground as though the wind might blow them into the sea."

" Five-fingered ferns hung over the water and dropped spray from their fingertips."

"The high mountain wind coasted sighing through the pass and whistled on the edges of the big blocks of broken granite."

"A scar of green grass cut across the flat. And behind the flat another mountain rose, desolate with dead rocks and starving little black bushes."

Explanation:

Personification is a literary device and a type of metaphor, in which the writer assigns a human or personal characteristic to something non-human like a nature element or an inanimate object. In the excerpt from "Flight", the author uses personification in the four fragments shown above, as in all of them the mountains, ferns and flats are described as performing human actions such as sighing, being desolated, cutting or even dropping.

You could write this essay in a couple different ways. The point is to take an argumentative stance and then provide research for your stance.

These are some ways you could go, based on your opinion:

a) that subliminal messages are picked up by our senses, meaning they are real and do affect behavior

b) that subliminal messages are not picked up by our senses and do not affect behavior

If you're not sure which stance to take, just do some general googling of subliminal messages and whether they're real & affect behavior.

Once you find your position, start researching specifically for that. Remember that this is argumentative- you're taking a position- so you want to have real facts as support. Use reputable sites (look for .edu, .org, .gov instead of .com).

Craft your thesis, which is the main claim you're making. This will go in the introduction of your essay.

A basic thesis may go like:

Subliminal messages are/are not real, and they have/do not have an effect on behavior. (You would pick between belief or nonbelief).

Once you have your thesis, you can start organizing your information around it and write the essay!

Answer:They noticed kids who were better starting off were the ones to practice/study more. Theynoticed the kids who needed more practice were the ones to keep practicing less. The better students kept practicing and making themselfs better. Paragraph 3 says  ´´Everyone from all three groups started playing at roughly the same age, around five years old. In those first few years, everyone practiced roughly the same amount, about two or three hours a week. But when the students were around the age of eight, real differences started to emerge. The students who would end up the best in their class began to practice more than everyone else: six hours a week by age nine, eight hours a week by age twelve, sixteen hours a week by age fourteen, and up and up, until by the age of twenty they were practicing´´
