Macy couldn't help but notice everyone looking at her as she walked down the hall. She could hear their whispers as she walked t

o homeroom on the first day of school. During the summer, Macy's hair had grown so much that it reached the middle of her back. Although it was normal for girls to have long hair, Macy had always had short hair and refused to grow it out. Therefore, all of her classmates were astonished by her Rapunzel-like transformation. However, Macy had a good reason for her change of heart. She wanted to grow her hair out so that she could donate her hair. She had heard that many people with certain medical conditions lost their hair. She had also learned that she could donate hair so that wigs could be made. The wigs helped boost confidence during such difficult times. After learning this, Macy felt that she could do her part by growing out her hair. Which sentence shows an example of allusion?

Read the following speech excerpt and then select the correct answer to the question below:
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The sentence "Free nations will press on to victory" relates to the central idea in the sense that:

b. It supports the main point that this is an ongoing fight that America will not abandon.

Explanation:

President Bush addresses how America has declared war against terror, and how that battle shall continue for as long as is necessary. Even though the troops are going home after serving, the mission continues. Terror is not over and, therefore, the war against it is also not over. America, as the free nation it is, will not accept terror to instigate fear among its people or to curb that people's freedom. When he says, "Free nations will press on to victory," he is supporting that point, the main one: the mission continues, the war against terror is not over. America will keep on fighting.

Do you think journals/diaries are important for history?
tankabanditka [31]
They are probably the most important document in understanding history. Without writing we would have a difficult time understanding archeological data. Also journals give great detail about wars and other major conflicts that would otherwise be unknown to historians.
