PLEASE HELP ME IT'S DUE TODAY. The Mysterious Box "This is the last box," Samuel called as he entered the foyer of his new home.

He carried the heavy box down the hallway to the kitchen where he found his mother, father, and sister unpacking various gadgets. Samuel's family had sold their previous home and moved into this old Victorian–style house so his father could work at the local hospital. Samuel didn't relish the idea of moving at first, but now he thought this might not be such a bad place to call home. Additionally, school didn't start for another month, so Samuel and his sister, Catherine, would have time to explore their new neighborhood and meet other kids. After Samuel placed the cardboard box on the kitchen counter, his mother rushed over and started inspecting it. "This box contains your great–grandmother's wedding china," Mom explained as she opened it. "These dishes are very old and fragile, so I hope they survived the move. "While his mother carefully examined each piece of china, Samuel asked his father what needed to be accomplished next. "Well, you and Catherine can take the boxes of winter clothes up to the attic after lunch," Dad said as he put spices and canned goods away in the pantry. "We'll also need to see if the previous owners left anything behind and clear it out. "Catherine let out a groan at the thought of spending the afternoon cleaning the attic. "Come on, Catherine," Samuel said with a smile. "Clearing out the attic might be fun! You never know what treasures might be hidden in this old house. Catherine replied, "You've got your head in the clouds if you think we'll discover hidden treasures in this place. I think we're more likely to find a bunch of clutter. "After lunch, Samuel and Catherine hauled several boxes to one of the guest rooms, where they could access the stairs to the attic. The attic was hot, and Catherine immediately felt like leaving the cramped space. They deposited the boxes in one corner of the large attic and then looked around to see what had been left behind. Catherine let out a dramatic sigh when she reached the opposite end of the attic where several cardboard boxes were piled against the wall. Unfortunately, they would need to go through them all to see what was inside. Samuel found a box of old books that were in good condition and could be taken to the local library. Catherine's mood improved immensely after finding a trunk filled with outdated clothes. Samuel could not keep a straight face when he saw her donning a hideous floral scarf and an enormous feathered hat. The clothes were spotless, so Catherine decided to donate them to the high school's drama department.
How does the author's use of the word "treasure" help the reader understand the characters' feelings about the contents of the mysterious box?
A. It shows that Samuel thought the box contained actual expensive treasure.
B. It shows that the old photographs and letters in the box were priceless possessions to Ms. Reynolds.
C. It explains that Samuel and Catherine returned a box worth a lot of money.
D. It shows that Ms. Reynolds offered a cash reward to Samuel and Catherine for returning such a valuable possession.

Read the excerpt from sir Gawain and the green knight and complete the sentence
tia_tia [17]

The correct answers are A. girdle and B. shame.


Sir Gawain wore a green girdle (which is practically a belt) around his neck which was given to him by the Green Knight's wife. In the beginning, the girdle represented his strength, but later on it gained the meaning of his shame. He took another man's wife and he dishonored his lord so he started wearing the girdle as a symbol of that.

In the first lesson of this chapter, you wrote a journal entry pretending you were a lawyer defending Zachariah. For this projec
Annette [7]

Answer:

Public speaking is like any skill. The more you do it, the better you get at it. Here is the only advice you need: Make eye contact with your listeners. Even if you’re nervous, nobody will know. If your audience sees you looking at them, they’ll look back and connect with you.

Start by reviewing your journal entry to make sure you have used specific details from the text to support your defense. Make sure you have at least two or three details.

Then, record a video of yourself pretending to be Zachariah’s lawyer. Pretend your revised journal entry is your "opening statement" in the trial and you are speaking to the jury and the judge.

Use any video recording device available to you. A cell phone or a webcam is perfect. Be sure to speak clearly and maintain appropriate eye contact. You might even practice with a friend, a parent, or in front of a mirror first.

If you don’t have the equipment and can’t record and upload a video, give the speech to a friend, a parent, or just a mirror. When you’re done, write a reflection in your journal about your experience. Consider what you did well and what you might do differently next time. The reflection should be about 150 words.

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Mother/Writer:

1. Disturbed over her son's new development at the age of thirteen.

2.  Endeavored to punish her son when he misbehaves.

Son/Teenager​:

1. Stubborn and disobedient to the mother

2. Lazy and dirty

3. Ready to withstand his mother

Explanation:

The above are my observations of the mother and son.

We see that the mother was not happy with who her son became. She experienced tough time in the hands of her thirteen years old son. The son, on the hand was disobedient and defiant. He was also lazy and unkempt. He was a son that was almost ready to withstand his mother. Whenever the mother punishes him for his misbehaviors, he feels like revenging the mother.
