Read the excerpt from Pat Mora’s essay "The Leader in the Mirror." I hoped that most of the students were going to enroll in col

lege. The confetti would be for their private celebrations, those solitary moments when they had passed a test that worried them, finished a difficult paper at 2 A.M., found a summer internship. Sometimes, even when no one else is around, it’s important to celebrate when we have struggled and succeeded—to sprinkle a little confetti on our own heads. Now read the excerpt from the article "Career Planning for High Schoolers." About two-thirds of high school graduates from the class of 2013 enrolled in college that fall, according to BLS: 42 percent in baccalaureate (4-year) colleges and 24 percent in 2-year schools. Of the remaining one-third of 2013 graduates, who opted not to go to college, 74 percent entered the labor force. College-bound high school graduates may not know it, but BLS data show that wages are usually higher, and unemployment rates lower, for people who continue their education after high school. How are the two excerpts similar? Both discourage higher education. Both are written for immigrants. Both use numbers to prove a point. Both discuss higher education.

Both of the excerpts discuss higher education. The first one discusses the struggle of the high school students to persist in working hard even in the middle of the night to finish their school work and the second excerpt deals with facts and figures to explain the importance of going on to higher education after high school.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:The book is told from the standpoint of a poor household pet, a dog self-described by the first sentence of the story: "My father was a St. Bernard, my mother was a collie, but I am a Presbyterian." The story begins with a description of the dog's life as a puppy and her separation from her mother, which to her was inexplicable. Her puppy and her owner's new child were soon added to her new home. When a fire breaks out in the nursery, the dog risks her life to drag the baby to safety. In the process, her motives are misunderstood and she is cruelly beaten by the father of the family with a cane, resulting in her leg getting broken. Soon, however, the truth of the situation is discovered and she receives no end of praise. Later in the story, her puppy dies, killed by the father of the family to prove his opinion on optics to his scientist peers. Only a servant seems to realize the irony of this, exclaiming, "Poor little doggie, you saved HIS child!" In the end, the dog (who does not realize her puppy is dead until her own hour is upon her) pines inconsolable over the grave of the puppy with the clear implication that she will do so until death.

O'Brien writes that what he remembers of Curt Lemon's death is Jensen's song. Why do you
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

O'Brien remembers Jensen's song concerning the death of Curt Lemon. It is because it helped him to cope with the death of his friend. The memory of Curt Lemon's death is significant as it keeps O'Brien awake.

Explanation:

"The Things They Carried" is a historical fiction written by Tim O'Brien. The story tells the effects of war on the lives of soldiers, centralizing on the Vietnam war, fought by the author.

In "How To Tell a True War Story," O'Brien writes about the death of his friend, Curt Lemon. He beautifies the scene of Lemon's death by connecting it with the sunlight that sucked him up on the tree. O'Brien writes that he remembers Jensen's song concerning the death of Curt Lemon because it wakes him up, giving him horrible visions. The memory of Lemon's death is significant as it describes the effects that deaths have on soldiers. Also, it is significant as it keeps O'Brien awake.
