Explanation:

Phrases to be corrected:

-"The story revolves around the psychology of guilt and a murderer who commits a crime and is able to hide it."

<em>The most concrete idea would be:</em>

<em>The story revolves around the psychology of a murderer who commits a crime and is able to hide it.</em>

-"This article will analyze the issue of violence as it is contained in history".

<em>It could be corrected as the following:</em>

<em>"This article will analyze what influenced the narrator to become a violent man and what the consequences were." </em>

<em>A correct punctuation must be made in the following paragraph:</em>

<u><em>"These animals included dogs, apes, and even donkeys.</em></u><u><em> </em></u>The theme of violence is also portrayed when the narrator, realizing his mistake, turns on himself and begins to hurt himself with the knife that he always carried with him."

The first stanza is a continuity of the idea from the previous paragraph, therefore it must be in the previous paragraph with a period followed.

<em>In the following paragraph we can make some editorial corrections as well as punctuation:</em>

"The other theme of the story is that of loyalty. Before the narrator began drinking, he was loyal to his wife and pet cat, Pluto. The theme of loyalty also shows up when the narrator gouges his cat's eye out. Even though his wife saw the kind of cruelty he had subjected the cat to, he was still loyal to him."

We can see in the previous paragraph that the subject of loyalty begins to be discussed, therefore it is not necessary for the writer of the essay to say again <em>"the subject of loyalty is also shown ..."</em> it could be said <em>"We can quote a example when the narrator gouges out his cat's eye ".</em>

The last paragraph, as it is a continuity of the previous paragraph where the writer continues talking about loyalty, must continue that idea in the previous paragraph with a period followed.

Therefore, there should be a single paragraph where it is not necessary to repeat the word "the issue of loyalty" but only leave the word "loyalty" because it is already known that that issue has been discussed. <em>Therefore, they could be as follows:</em>

"The other theme of the story is that of loyalty. Before the narrator began drinking, he was loyal to his wife and pet cat, Pluto. An example we can cite is when the narrator gouges out his cat's eye. Even though his wife saw the kind of cruelty he had subjected the cat to, he was still loyal to him, and loyalty is represented by the cat himself. After the narrator gouged out the cat's eye, the cat was still playing with the narrator after the pierced eye sock had healed. Under normal circumstances, the cat would have fled the house and moved to another house away from the brutality."

Would it be good or bad to stay a child forever ?
Ipatiy [6.2K]
Most people would probably say good because you would be filled with energy and youth forever but on the downside you'd also miss out on a lot of things adults get to do.


I would personally say bad because instead of being stuck in school or having to listen to your parents you could find your dream job, spend time with friends, travel, etc. You can't get a job as a child until you're 16 but you are still under your parents control. So I think that it would be bad.

How this helps! :)

Do your experiences at this time of pandemic change the way you decide on things? in what way??​
natima [27]

Answer with Explanation:

Yes, my experience at this time of pandemic changed the way I decide on things. For example, <em>I decided to spend more time at home rather than going to the mall,</em> which I normally did before the pandemic. I believe this will lessen the possibility of my contracting the corona virus.<em> I also celebrated my birthday at home with my family instead of celebrating it with my classmates</em>. Instead of going to the restaurant to eat or take out food, I'd order through Food Apps. In this case, I don't need to commute <em>(as this increases my exposure to the virus)</em> and it's more convenient.

If ever I go out of the house, I make sure to bring a mask and an alcohol with me. Upon going home, I also make sure to take a bath. Such things are now included in my decisions.
