Read the excerpts from John Dryden's poem Annus Mirabilis. Which lines refer to the great fire that swept through the city of Lo

ndon in 1666? Yet like an English general will I die, And all the ocean make my spacious grave: Women and cowards on the land may lie; The sea's a tomb that's proper for the brave. Restless he pass'd the remnant of the night, Till the fresh air proclaimed the morning nigh: And burning ships, the martyrs of the fight, With paler fires beheld the eastern sky. ... Her flag aloft spread ruffling to the wind, And sanguine streamers seem the flood to fire; The weaver, charm'd with what his loom design'd, Goes on to sea, and knows not to retire. With roomy decks, her guns of mighty strength, Whose low-laid mouths each mounting billow laves; Deep in her draught, and warlike in her length, She seems a sea-wasp flying on the waves. ... The distance judged for shot of every size, The linstocks touch, the ponderous ball expires: The vigorous seaman every port-hole plies, And adds his heart to every gun he fires! . . . But ah! how insincere are all our joys! Which, sent from heaven, like lightning make no stay; Their palling taste the journey's length destroys, Or grief, sent post, o'ertakes them on the way. . . . Now down the narrow streets it swiftly came, And widely opening did on both sides prey: This benefit we sadly owe the flame, If only ruin must enlarge our way.

Here is a essay I wrote about emojis a few years back(7th grade maybe) because I was going through and emoji stage. I ask that you don't copy it vebatem because you could get in trouble 
<span>Emojis: ‘small digital image or icon used to express an idea, emotion, used in electronic communication.” These small images are huge. Emojis have an extensive history, but are wrongly compared to emoticons. Emoji are very impactful on today's world. Emojis are awesome. Emojis have been around since 1995. In 1995 when pagers were booming with Japanese teenagers, a Japanese company, NTT Docomo, decided to add a heart♥  symbol to one of their pagers, the Pocket Bell. They later dropped the heart, which lead customers to move to a different company. After realizing their mistake, they needed something new to attract  their customers, and the emojis were born. The man who invented emojis is named Shigetaka Kurita. He was part of the team working on”i-mode”, a project that was just beginning to take shape. It would be the world’s first widespread mobile internet platform, combining features like weather forecasts, entertainment reservations, news, and email.  At first, it was very difficult to create an emoji because the pagers could only fit 48 letters. However, just one month after Shigetaka Kurita got approval on emojis, he came up with the world's first 180 emojis. Emojis have become so popular that they have spread not only to text messages, but also to other networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Emojis are often wrongly associated with Emoticons, even though they are different. Emojis , by definition are ‘any of various small images, symbols, or icons used in text fields in electronic communication (as in text messages, email, and social media) to express the emotional attitude of the writer, convey information sufficiently, communicate a message playfully without using words, etc.” Whereas, Emoticons by definition are,”a group of keyboard characters :) that are used to represent a facial expression (such as a smile or frown)” Emojis have impacted the world in many ways. They are extremely popular. They are used in text messaging, people make stories with them, and popular Brooklyn Nine- Nine character, Gina, expresses how impactful emojis are on her saying, “The English language cannot fully capture the depth and complexity of my thoughts so I’m incorporating Emoji into my speech to better express myself. Winky face.”  In April 2015, emojis were made more diverse by adding numerous different skin tones. as well as many different family combinations. Emojis are more than what they look like on the surface. They have an extensive history, are wrongly compared to emoticons and have a huge impact. In other words, Emojis speak louder than words! </span>

What’s the most effective change the writer could make to improve the coherence of this paper?
Fittoniya [83]

<span>Predictable Paragraph Organization: </span>To maintain optimal coherency, organize paragraphs in the way that readers are accustomed. For example, unless there is a compelling reason to do otherwise, place the topic sentence in the first position of the paragraph. The topic sentence appears in the first position of the paragraph 80% of the time in expository writing. Because of this high percentage, readers expect the main idea of the paragraph to be in this position. Similarly, the thesis statement appears 50% of the time as the last sentence in an essay introduction, so follow this practice as well.

Additionally, the Ancient Greeks developed the rhetorical rules for our writing, and these rules dictate that the most important idea in any communication needs to be stated first. Organize paragraphs with customary and traditional structures to be considerate to your reader.
