Read this argument from The New York Times opinion pages. Does the author of this article agree or disagree with William Bramhal

, the artist who created this cartoon:
Bramhall, William. "Bramhall's World: The Soda Ban." Illustration. 14 September 2012. New York Daily News. Josh Greenman. 30 September 2012. Nydailynews.com. New York Daily News. 28 March 2012. Web.

Use evidence from each article to support your answer. Answer in a minimum of five sentences.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg has done a lot to help improve the health of New York City residents. Smoking is outlawed in workplaces, restaurants and bars. Trans fat is banned in restaurants. Chain restaurants are required to post calorie counts, allowing customers to make informed choices.

Mr. Bloomberg, however, is overreaching with his new plan to ban the sale of sugary drinks larger than 16 ounces. He argues that prohibiting big drinks at restaurants, movie theaters, stadiums and other food sellers can help combat obesity. But as he admits, customers can get around the ban by purchasing two drinks.

The administration should be focusing its energies on programs that educate and encourage people to make sound choices. For example, obesity rates have declined slightly among students in elementary and middle schools, with the city's initiatives to make lunches healthier with salad bars, lower-calorie drinks and water fountains in cafeterias. Requiring students to get more exercise has also helped.

The city should keep up its tough anti-obesity advertising campaigns—one ad shows that it takes walking from Union Square to Brooklyn to burn off the calories from a 20-ounce soda. The mayor has also started adult exercise programs and expanded the program for more fresh produce vendors around the city.

Promoting healthy lifestyles is important. In the case of sugary drinks, a regular reminder that a 64-ounce cola has 780 calories should help. But too much nannying with a ban might well cause people to tune out.

The author of the article disagrees with the artist who created the cartoon. The artist believes the soda ban is necessary because of the epidemic of obesity that we have seen in the country. He emphasizes this point by showing obese people unable to get up from the couch while drinking soda. On the other hand, the author of the article believes this to be an exaggaration. He thinks that enough has been done already to promote healthy lifestyles and that a soda ban is "too much nannying."

The author of this article disagrees with what Bramhal's art seems to convey. The image shows someone unable to "rise up against the soda ban" because they have become to large to stand up. The point of this image is to show exactly why the ban is necessary. The author of the article thinks that the ban is unnecessary and will just end up tuning people out to the cause. They think that Bloomberg should just focus his efforts on the ad campaigns that promote healthy lifestyles instead.

Answer:

When they go to bed and what makes them stay up late

Explanation:

She would most likely need to know what time they go to bed because that could be a large factor in when they sleep. If they go to bed at 9 pm, then they wouldn't really benefit from a later sleep because they only get a few hours of sleep even if school started later. Meanwhile students who go to bed later would certainly benefit from the earlier start time.

Also she would need to know why they go to sleep late. For example, homework makes them stay up late because they need to finish their assignments, work on projects, study, etc. Another example is after school activities, students could arrive home late due to sports and have to eat dinner right as they come back, forcing them to do work late at night.

Life on the Mississippi is set in a small town in the nineteenth century. How is the setting established? And how
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Life on the Mississippi was the book that launched the now well known Samuel Clemens’ career as a “serious” author.  Clemens, more well known by the title Mark Twain, paints Mississippi steamboat living and the workings of the river itself as a tribute to that great river.  Twain uses this novel as a combination of an autobiography of his early days as a steamboats man, and a collection of anecdotes about the people who made their living both along the great river and on it.  It was from this work that the novel Huckleberry Finn would emerge, using the raw material to set the backdrop for this work which is considered Twain’s greatest novel.  Mark Twain spent most of his early life in Hannibal, Missouri, the Mississippi river town that first gave him a taste of what it was like to live the life of a steamboat man.  It was there that he was bitten by the bug of becoming a steamboat pilot, though that lay dormant for a time before he finally acted on it.  Before Twain could pursue his passion on the steam boat, his father died, and he became apprenticed to a printer and began to write for his brother’s newspaper.  It was in 1857, ten years after his father’s death, and after having begun work in many eastern cities as a printer, that Twain decided to go seek his fortune in South America.  Before he could make it there, however, he had to go through the major port city of New Orleans.  It was here in New Orleans that Twain decided to give up his possible fortune in South America and pursue his first and foremost passion, becoming a steamboat captain.  This part of Mark Twain’s life had a huge impact on his greatest writing, and it was in this time that he obtained the material he needed to write Life on the Mississippi.  Reading through the book, it is obvious how much respect Twain has for the river itself.  This is evident through the ways in which he describes its incredible size, and at the same time its minute complexities.  His detailed descriptions and picturesque use of language within Life on the Mississippi serve to prove to Twain’s audience that he is indeed a serious and well spoken author.  It is obvious that Twain affinity for the river itself is the source and backbone of this book, while Twain also manages to bring out the eccentricities of not only the river, but also of the people who populate it.  These stories of workers, farmers, and steamboat captains serve to bring the novel alive for the audience.  As I have stated earlier, this also allows for a great deal of background for his novel Huckleberry Finn.  It is in this novel, considered his greatest of all time, that Twain gains the admiration and awe of people around the globe, and without the raw material of Life on the Mississippi, he would not have what he needed to make this novel what it was.  Thus, he began his career as a novelist with this novel, and he reached his peak as well through this novel, gaining him more recognition as an author than the vast majority of all American authors, and than authors throughout the world.

There are a lot of clouds! It…………. soon.( to rain)​
vovikov84 [41]

Answer: will rain

Explanation:

<em>There are a lot of clouds! It </em><em><u>will rain</u></em><em> </em><em>soon.</em>

A verb will be needed to convey that an action is to be done which is that there will be rain. The verb will also have to be transitive in order for it to transfer the action to the word, ''soon''.

Will rain is the proper phrase to put there as it is a transitive verb that affirms that an action will take place which in this case is that there will be rain.
