Read the reflection from Kara’s narrative. 1 Ironically, it is from my much younger—and, I used to think, less wise—brother that

I learned the value of being honest even when a lie may seem far more tempting at the time. 2 I knew that what he did that day must have been extremely difficult for him. 3 Yet there he stood, taking responsibility for his actions with not a glimmer of hesitation. 4 It is this determination and resolve to do what is right—even when what is right is not what is easy—that I remembered many years later in college when faced with a similar predicament of my own. Which best revises sentence 2 to make it more precise? Watching him bravely tell the truth about what had really happened that day and how he had been the one responsible for the destruction of our neighbor’s award-winning flower garden, I realized that he knew he would likely face unpleasant consequences. I tried to imagine how difficult it must have been for someone so young to do something so courageous and what must have been going through his mind, but all I could think about was the punishment he would probably receive for doing the right thing. Although my brother appeared to be acting bravely, I was certain he was tempted to do the wrong thing that day to avoid some sort of unpleasant punishment, and I thought for a second that he would change his mind at the last moment. My brother’s actions that day were very admirable, and I remember wondering how someone so young could do something like that, and then I wondered if I would do the same thing or something different just to avoid getting into unwanted trouble.

The statement, by Kara Walker, that best revises sentence 2 to make it more precise, is <em>"Watching him bravely tell the truth about what had really happened that day and how he had been the one responsible for the destruction of our neighbor's award-winning flower garden, I realized that he knew he would likely face unpleasant consequences." </em>

Determine if the following sentence is cited correctly. Winston contends that Pluto should continue to be classified as a planet
Alinara [238K]
Yes, because (12) is referring to a page number. I mean, if you're writing an essay, this would be correct. But if you're just stating your opinion, that's wouldn't need to be cited.

Which sentence has a pronoun with an unclear, missing, or confusing antecedent?
Ghella [55]
I believe it would be B, because there are two subjects that the speaker is referring to at the beginning of the sentence; the caterpillar and the leaf. When they use the word "it" in the second half of the sentence it is unclear whether they mean to say if "it" is the leaf or the caterpillar which they are carrying to their brother.

In at least 150 words explain the Puritan literature and the works that upheld it
luda_lava [24]

Early literature written by Puritans in America often appeared as first person narratives in the form of journals and diaries. Early American colonists wrote their accounts of immigration, settling in America, and day-to-day life in journals to pass their stories down. Many Puritans also wrote letters to send back to Europe to family and friends they left behind. Very little fiction appeared during this period; Puritans valued realistic writing with an emphasis on religious themes.

Three important Puritan genres included:

Sermons

Historical narrative

Poetry

Puritans held deep religious beliefs based on their own perspective of Christianity. The Bible played an important role in the daily lives of the Puritans. Families attended church regularly and read the Bible in their homes. Due to this influence, most Puritan writing is based on the styles of the Bible. Puritans compared their own lives to biblical narratives and events and compared themselves to biblical characters to illustrate points.

Puritans lived a simple life based on the concepts of humility and simplicity. This influence comes from their religious beliefs and the Bible. Wearing elaborate clothing or having conceited thoughts offended Puritans. Puritan writing mimics these cultural values in its plain writing style. Puritans wrote directly to the point, and avoided much of the eleborate writing style that became popular in Europe. Simple sentences with common language allowed Puritans to communicate information without feeling like they were drawing attention to themselves.

Puritans wrote with specific purposes in mind. Even the letters they wrote to friends and family in Europe performed more of a purpose than simply communicating about their lives and keeping in touch. Puritans' religious beliefs affected their lives on all levels, and their writing illustrated their religion's values, such as the importance of the church and the influence of God in their lives. Writing often became instructive, teaching Christian values. The Puritans did not believe that literature was for entertainment; therefore, they frowned upon "entertainment" genres such as drama (plays) and fiction novels.
