Answer:

"On Being a Cripple" by Nancy Mairs (1986)

The claim in Nancy's article or short story is, "I am a cripple."

Explanation:

Nancy's claim is the assertion about her physical condition. Nancy does not provide any evidence to support her affirmation.  Unfortunately, there is no way for the reader to verify Nancy's reason for describing herself as a "cripple."  Her claim remains subjective or a matter of the narrator's personal opinion.  Nancy can even claim that her physical condition is a divine blessing.

Many imprecise descriptions are coined by society to label some people.  Nancy feels that the truth or bluntness about a person's condition cannot lessen the pain nor denigrate the person. There are humorous meanings to be derived when described as a "cripple" without the use of meaningless metaphors.

Write an essay on something you enjoyed doing​

Answer:

Okay so, I actually wrote this when I was younger.

Essay:

Ballerinas:  

 One day I was getting ready to go to my first ever ballet class at the West End Academy Of Dance. I was so excited but nervous at the same time, I didn’t know what was going to happen when it was my first day there. When I got inside there were a lot of people there  And I got even more nervous than before.  When it was time for our class to begin I didn’t want want to leave my mom because I didn’t know what to expect. First, we went up to this metal bar that was on the wall, we did demi pleas and rises, then we stepped off of the bar to the nice shiny and clean floor. We did some easy very very easy paashaus and last, We did some leaps across the floor. The floor was so slippery that I almost felt as I touched it after I did my leap. I didn’t like that the parents had to watch us while we were in dance class because the older girls before us didn’t have their parents watching them, well I guess it’s probably because we were little and they didn’t want anything or anyone to get hurt.

 The next day was Wednesday, and I just had to go back to my dance studio because my sister Dana Had dance classes there too before I did. They knew Dana and our mom and dad a lot because she went there and now that I came they will get used to me being there twice a week. ( Monday and Tuesday ). Every year on June 16th or 20th the dance whole studio has a recital to show all of the families what the classes have learned and what their dances look like. What I mean by Dances is that each year the teachers will be showing you and giving you a dance to learn with your fellow classmates. Sometimes there will be a helper teacher AKA A aid to help you if you don’t know the steps or if you weren't there and you don’t know what you're spot was and what you're supposed to do if you were late for classes.  

 A couple of years later I was 10 which well I am 10 now. And let me think ah-ha! yeah, I’ve been dancing for more than five or six years, yeah I know that's a lot of dancing years. I Love Dancing so much I mean it’s the only sport that I love to do. 5 years ago when I was 5 years old I used to do cheerleading at Pride Allstars Cheerleading gym which isn’t that far from where I dance now.  

Explanation:

Hope that this helps you out! :)

Have a great rest of your day/night!

Which sentence INCORRECTLY uses the apostrophe to form a possessive?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

A - Michael's and Erin’s new house is absolutely spectacular.

Explanation:

There should only be an apostrophe s in Erin. Michael doesn't need a possessive apostrophe. When you have two or more people in a sentence, you only need a possessive apostrophe for the last person in a sentence.
