I fixed all your mistakes here is the new document
The events that led to the hunger games was when the 12 districts rebelled against the capital. The purpose of the games was to remind the districts that they were at their mercy. I think that the events that led to the hunger games were the 12 districts rebelled because stated in the text, "Then came the dark days, the uprising of the districts against the capital, twelve were defeated the thirteenth obliterated." I picked this quote because it shows that the districts were treated poorly(or were greedy) so they rebelled against the capital which led to the hunger games. The purpose of the hunger games was meant to serve is to remind the districts who was in charge ."Taking the kids from our districts, forcing them to kill each other while we watch this is the capital's way of saying how totally we are at their mercy." Enforces my fact.

Do you want a grammar check or a writing check? 

Sentence 1I believe “hunger games” should be two words. And is it capped in the book? (I don’t remember offhand.) And “capital” should be “Capitol.” Capped and spelled with an “o.” 

Sentence 2The purpose of the games *was* . . . — “purpose” is the subject of the sentence and it is singular. 

Sentence 2. . . they were at /their/ mercy — you’re referring to people here, so you need the pronoun.
But there’s a problem here also with pronoun reference. Who does the “their” refer to? It refers back to “the capital,” right? In the meantime, there’s another noun in this sentence (“districts”) that “their” will seem instead to refer to. 
You should revise.

Sentence 3Your quote is a little off in spelling, caps, and punctuation. 
Here’s the actual quote — 
Then came the Dark Days, the uprising of the districts against the Capitol. Twelve were defeated, the thirteenth obliterated.

Sentence 4 
Add a space in front of the parens. Put a comma in front of “so” — because “so” is a coordinating conjunction connecting two full clauses. Let me know if you don’t know what that means. 
Correct “capital.” 
Comma between “capital” and “which” because “which” is a relative pronoun and the clause is nonrestrictive, which just means that it restates something about the Capitol that you could also leave off WITHOUT changing the reader’s understanding about which Capitol you meant. (There is only one. There aren’t two.)
Let me know if you don’t understand this. 

Sentence 5
Fix “hungergames.” (It’s not one word, for sure.)
The sentence is a bit skewed. This framework — “The purpose . . . . [was] meant to serve is to remind” — doesn’t work well. That’s likely because this is you thinking through your answer and thinking about what you want to say. You got a bit tangled up. Now say that sentence out loud. This is probably not how you actually speak. 
You might try this — “The purpose of the games was to remind the districts who was in charge.” 
Or this — The games served to remind the district who was in charge.” 
But you’re going to have to go back to rethink those opening sentences as well. 

Sentence 6
Your quote has some errors. You can find out what these are by searching online. 

Sentence 7
Grammatically correct, but not very effective.

Please help will mark brainliest 20 points. both Paul in “The Rocking-Horse Winner” and Jerry in “Through the Tunnel” set a chal
Marta_Voda [28]
Answer of question 1:

Paul sets a challenge to “find luck.” Jerry sets a challenges to experience a underwater tunnel. What persuaded Paul is his mom's satisfaction, and for his to house to quit whispering that it needs more cash. Jerry's inspiration is to demonstrate to himself that he can experience the passage. I don't think there are extremely any likenesses, however I think Jerry and Paul's test are generally extraordinary on an individual level. Jerry is more narrow minded than Paul, who, at last, gives his life for his objective. For Paul the inspiration isn't self-propelled yet determined in a non-coordinate manner by his mom who wishes for more cash and extravagances she can't bear the cost of however wishes she did. For Jerry, it is all self motivational. He drives himself to experience the passage, to figure out how to control his breathing, and forces his mom to purchase goggles for him.

Answer of question 2:

 In "Poison" Mr. Pope is fine with the doctor while he is sparing his life, yet when the good doctor starts question his prevalence, or for this situation, his knowledge. He gives his actual emotions a chance to appear. In the wake of being yelled at and called a rat the doctor, leaves revealing to Timber that Mr. Pope needs a vacation.In "The Train" I feel that racism is symbolized from numerous points of view from the way the locals are symbolized as being a piece of nature, and being poor and malnourished while the white train travelers are isolated from the scene and having more nourishment than they require, enough to throw away to the dogs. Then again the poor old starving villager who needs to offer his model for 3 pennies, and after the young ladies' significant other talks him down to one, the young lady is furious at her husband to talk him down to that much when she has a greater number of statues than she needs as it seems to be. 

Answer of question 3:

In Poison the author create suspense by indicating how gradually they moved the sheet back, Mr. Pope's have to cough, his consistent sweating, then absorbing the bed in Chloroform lastly Mr. Pope's moving number to dispose of the non existent creature.

Read the passage from "Two Kinds.”
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The correct answers are “The daughter wants to be valued for what she is, while the mother believes that the girl should always strive to be more” and “The daughter believes that her mother should accept and love her, but the mother believes that she should help her daughter succeed”.

Indeed, the daughter is American and as such she only understands direct, explicit language and reasoning. This is called a low-context culture. What this means is that for the American daughter communication needs to be explicit and context has to be explained. However, the mother is Chinese, her life experiences and her cultural norms and context are very different. Hers is a very high-context culture, which means that her communication and her actions are extremely cryptic for her American daughter because it relies on a cultural and situational context that her daughter does not have due to her American upbringing.

In a nutshell, the mother does love her daughter but her vision of love is influenced by both her Chinese culture and above all her tragic and awful life experiences. She a was poor, ignorant Chinese woman who grew up in a very patriarchal Chinese culture which showed her that the best measure of love is self-reliance as a form of protection for the sake of safety. She wants her daughter to be safe and never suffer the horrible experiences that she went through. Her daughter can only be safe from all of that by extremely hard work which is the gateway to financial self-reliance and security.

The daughter on the other hand, grew up in a comfortable life in America. She understands the notion of hard work but considers that her mother carries it way too far. She thinks that he mother is so hard on her because she does not love her for who she is or how she is. She already feels safe and for her playing the piano is already enough. She does not need to be a master of piano playing and she considers that she can perfectly live a fulfilling life by finding her own way in accordance to normal American standards. The fact that her mother is not explicit in her utterances makes her suffer and she is unable to understand because she lacks her mother’s context which is at the core of the novel.

Which two sentences in the passage describe Leila's good study habits? Leila has midterms coming up in three weeks, so she made
AnnZ [28]

1.  ...so she made a study plan that lists her priorities to help her prepare.


Leila's social calendar is irrelevant.  Ignore that part.  Putting everything off until the weekend is a BAD study habit.


2.  She plans to spend six hours every weekend studying in the library.  


Not the greatest example of good study habits, but at least she's planning, and the library is usually a good place to study.
