Answer:

Describe to the reader a brave act by a historical figure

Explanation:

In the given excerpt, the author tells us about a heroic act of general Benedict Arnold, an important figure in the Revolutionary War. The purpose is not to show us how dangerous or heroic it is to question orders. Sometimes it is dangerous (like in this case), but sometimes it's not. The act of challenging orders is not heroic on its own, although, in this case, it turned out to be. There are some details showing us how violent the Revolutionary War was, but that is also not the point. All of these details are a part of Arnold's brave act.

Write a 3 page paragraph about why you like winter

mezya [45]

A cold, depressing, long period of time where people are upset and broke from the cost of happiness; runny noses, cheeks rosy and never feeling dressed warm enough: Is it really the most wonderful time of the year? In my eyes, it is. Winter to me; is something completely different. A time where you wake up snuggled up with the heat blaring, a time where everything around you takes your breath away and a time where what you have is cherished most. What is truly so great about winter? The atmosphere changes, the spirituality really stands out due to Christmas and happiness is like the flu that we all manage to catch. The atmosphere in the winter, and especially at Christmas is incredible. The mood that is given off and the feel of it …show more content…
Something about winter just sends off that vibe, the vibe of closeness, love and true meaning of life. I can’t get enough of this specific time of the year, because it’s when most people come to know the Lord. It’s the time when family gathers together to come watch the Christmas plays, see the nativity scene displays and celebrate Jesus’ birth. This is the time when it hits most people, the realization of eternal life. This is such a huge part of my life and my experiences in my household. Also, I love being a part of the plays and all the fun activities in my church; it’s when I feel most comfortable and sure of whom I truly am.
Lastly, I feel a real closeness in the wintertime. I always have such a secure, safe, warm feeling because of my family. Every year we have our many traditions. The second week of December we go on a sleigh ride, debate for hours on our perfect tree and I usually saw it down, with assistance from my dad of course. We then drink some hot chocolate. Now, it’s decorating day. The day we get out the ornaments. Mom puts the garland on and decorates the house, I put the tinsel on with my brother; Matt, Dad puts on the lights; then we all pick our favourite ornaments and start the adventure.

Formal Letter writing: Write a letter to your Principal requesting him to organize a trip to a zoo. 200-220 words

VMariaS [17]

Hello principal (name),
I writing to you today to ask for you to organise a trip to the zoo. There are many learning opportunities for our class to go, from learning about the different animals and their living habitats. It would also make the kids feel more excited about school, since in a way it’s a hand on learning. (If you’re learning about animals in school right now, write about how it ties in with what your learning and how it can help the kids further understand the subject). As a class we promise to be on our best behaviour and hope that you at least take it into consideration. Also not to mention it’s a good way for everyone to spend the day, including yourself.
Best regards,
(Your name)

Which lines satirize the Victorians' tendency to place wealth above other factors in deciding whether a person was eligible for

faust18 [17]

When Lady Bracknell says: "A hundred and thirty thousand pounds! And in the funds! Miss Cardew seems to me a most attractive young lady, now that I look at her"

Even though the whole scene is about trying to show that Miss Cardew is eligible for marriage, Lady Bracknell doesn't seem to accept it until she learns how much money she has. Suddenly then she seems to be a viable candidate for marriage.
