5 0

Francine Prose thinks that American High Schools do not teach literary works the way they should. (1) She says that the choice of books is not related to the teen's world of today.  (2) She defends that teens can’t relate to the stories anymore because schools do not teach them the stories, instead, they focus on the author’s life or the background of the book. With that, (3) they leave amazing stories behind, stories which teens would love to hear and to learn about.

How do John Milton's sonnets shape society?
rusak2 [61]
John Milton wrote in a wide range of genres, in several languages, and on an extraordinary range of subjects.<span>He remade the moral, political, and cultural world around him; without him, the world we live in would look different.  One thing he offers, therefore, is a case for an education in the humanities – in languages, in philosophy and history, in literature, music, and art – as a route towards meaningful reflection on human life, and towards a considered contribution to civilisation's progress</span>

Summary of ted chiangs exhalation
nikdorinn [45]

Answer + Explanation:

The story is epistolary in nature, taking the form of a scientist's journal entry. The scientist is a member of a race of air-driven mechanical beings. The race obtains air from swappable lungs filled with pressurized air (argon) from underground. When it is realized that a number of clocks simultaneously appear to be running fast but they do not appear to be malfunctioning, the narrator decides to explore the explanation that people's brains are computing slower. The scientist dissects their own brain and discovers that it operates based on the movement of air through gold leaves. The scientist hypothesizes that others' brains are computing slower because rising atmospheric pressure causes air to pass through the leaves at a slower rate, and that the subterranean supply of argon will eventually be depleted, equalizing the pressure between the two atmospheres.

Discuss how trustworthy consumer ratings and reviews of product and services are. Companies use different tools: badges, contrib
scoray [572]

Answer:

 Reading customer ratings and reviews of products and services can be helpful sometimes, and help you choose which product or service to purchase when looking for the best quality. However, it can sometimes be misleading, and you should always check the profile of the reviewer, to see if they are new to the company, verified to be telling the truth, and see if their contribution level is good or bad. I believe that these tools do help increase credibility of reviews and ratings.

  Say you were looking at the reviews on a bag you've wanted to buy for some time. You also have a back up bag that you can buy that is cheaper. You see a bunch of reviews saying that the bag you really want rips/tears too easily, and is a little smaller than advertised. You check the verification on their profiles and see that they have been using those products for a few months now, and weren't satisfied with it. The back up bag you chose has better reviews and is said to be more durable. You check the verification on their profiles as well, and see that they are satisfied customers, and have been using those products for years.

 So, instead, you buy the cheaper bag. You are happy with your decision, and the bag lasts for almost four years, and never fails you. Thanks to the reviews and comments, you have decided to change your decision.

   Crowdsourcing can be a big help purchasing an item that is popular, or when you are looking for cheaper alternatives.
