Read this excerpt from an essay. What is the author’s main purpose? My first day of high school was a total nightmare. I will ne

ver forget that day. I was a skinny, freckled, 14-year-old nobody. I just wanted to blend in, but I somehow spent the entire day being noticed for the wrong reasons. I messed everything up. I forgot my books. I went to the wrong classes. So when I went to the wrong lunch session and ended up in a room full of seniors, I wasn’t surprised. Luckily, someone came to my rescue. Sensing my anxiety, one girl pointed out that I was lucky to be lost in that room because it was the meeting place of the school’s new Community Service Council. She volunteered to take me to the food court and told me to ask her if I ever needed help. Beneath the red, white, and blue school banners, I watched her skip away to help another boy who had dropped his tray. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one having a bad day. The Community Service Council ended up having a huge effect on my high school life. I just wish I could have found it in a less embarrassing way.

Answer:

The author's purpose is to explain that the school's new Community Service Council actually works. In that respect, the writer expresses how the Community Service Council had a useful influence on his first day of high school, in which he had made a lot of mistakes and was gladly helped by one of the volunteers. In fact, he also considers the service had a great impact on everyone during his high school years.

Electoral college votes. A recent example of this is the 2016 US election, where Clinton won the popular vote, while Trump won the electoral college votes by a landslide. Since electoral college votes are what really count, Trump won.

King says we have to realize that it is always the time “to do right”! He made the point that in order for everyone in the U.S to have human dignity, the “quicksand”-like national policy of his time must be changed to “solid rock”. By engaging in “nonviolent direct action”, they bring hidden things out into the open. Without the problems clearly being seen, society would remain otherwise. It leads to healing.



that’s 6 sentences so take out the 1st sentence if you want to make it 5 :)

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

B Sometimes people take advantage of the kindness of their friends.

Explanation:

"Lazy Anansi" is an African folktale from the state of Ghana which tells the story of how spiders came to have long, thin legs. The story also deals with a good moral of why it is bad manners to rely on or take advantage of other people's goodness.

The tale tells how Anansi, a lazy spider would depend on others for his meals, visiting one friend after another for their food. And amidst this habit, he got stuck with everyone's offer to eat with them. And thus ended up hurting his own body when they all pulled his web to let him know the food was ready. And in the process of doing so, the friends had unknowingly hurt him physically, thus leading to the thin and long legs of spiders.

Thus, the <u>main theme of the fable is that sometimes people take undue advantage of the kindness and goodness of others, like he spider Anansi.</u>

What is wong with this sent.
charle [14.2K]
There should be a period after writing it should look like this : " writing. She can"
the sentence also says "through her words" when after "words" , there should also be a period.

Other than the missing periods your sentence seems fine.

You could also use a comma after "writing" instead of a period and make the S in  "She" a lower case.

I hope this helps you.
