This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.

What does the author use in this passage to support the idea that the dam has ruined Glen Canyon?  

For those who may think I exaggerate the contrast between the former river canyon and the present man-made impoundment, I suggest a trip on Lake Powell followed immediately by another boat trip on the river below the  dam. Take a boat from Lee's Ferry up the river to within sight of the dam, then shut off the motor and allow yourself the rare delight of a quiet, effortless drifting down the stream. In that twelve-mile stretch of living green, singing birds, flowing water and untarnished canyon walls — sights and sounds a million years older and infinitely lovelier than the roar of motorboats — you will rediscover a small and imperfect sampling of the kind of experience that was taken away from everybody when the oligarch and politicians condemned our river for purposes of their own.

A solution

an exaggeration

a description

a cause and its effect

Answer: a description

Explanation:

In this passage from Beyond the Wall: Essays from the Outside, by Edward Abbey (1984), the author describes what the Glen Canyon was like before the dam was built to support the idea that it has been ruined. Abbey makes a detailed description of an area that still resembles what the Glen Canyon used to look like as proof of the way the dam was prejudicial for the Canyon.

Setler [38]
The statement basically states “Books should show us the real world and not a fantasy where we are thought to believe things. It must guide us in our time on Earth.” You are supposed to provide your opinion on what you think.

I would write something like this:

Literature has been around for centuries, maybe even millenniums. It has brought people out of the depths of despair and helped them over come problems in day-to- day life. There are all kinds of books out there - fantasy, adventure, romance, but should all those books be forgotten and thrown out for man only to read non-fictional books that are factual rather than interesting?

On one hand, books should be used as a tool for living. They should be informative and contain facts that could benefit us through out our lifetime. An interesting quote is, ‘Knowledge is the key to life’ therefore reading non-fiction books will help us in the future and reflect our actions when we grow up.

On the other hand, books have been brought to life to transport a person away from his troubles into a fictional world, where they are happy and blissful. Taking away such books and reading only factual information will not benefit a humans mind, for they will grow old and grumpy; they will obtain a lot of information but they will be dissatisfied with life - so what is the point of that? Moreover, books are books. No matter the genre or the origination of the book, it will teach us grammar and vocabulary which is vital for a human to know; it will make us emotionally happy and we will still gain knowledge from it.

In my opinion, Forster is wrong because a work of literature MUST provide a scope for the imagination and it must alter reality a little but for us to imagine - for without imagination, we are nothing.


I hope this helps, and please tell me what grade you got as I would love to know:))

mash [69]

Answer:

During this period women wanted to become primary characters instead of secondary characters. They wanted to become role models of independence.

In the stories, notice how all the girls wanted to be popular. They wanted to be known for who they were and not how they looked. Basically, they didn't want to be discriminated for how they looked or talked. So, this impacted society greatly because they were making a change on how people saw them.

I wrote almost the same thing yesterday and got 16/16.
