As I hoped on the train I looked at my left hand and asked myself “Where’s my luggage?”
I went to the store Friday night with my mother to buy 2 pieces of luggage due to the fact that we had to catch the airplane the next day.
My boyfriend Brad and I decided to elope. But, before running away together Brad gave me concert tickets; it was a one-way trip to heaven.
I waited at the airport for hours for the arrival of my friend Duke who I had spoken online to for over 6 months
I cried for days at the sudden departure of Daniel my husband who left me for another woman
David and I went to the local newspaper office to advertise the new restaurant we constructed
The statement basically states “Books should show us the real world and not a fantasy where we are thought to believe things. It must guide us in our time on Earth.” You are supposed to provide your opinion on what you think.
I would write something like this:
Literature has been around for centuries, maybe even millenniums. It has brought people out of the depths of despair and helped them over come problems in day-to- day life. There are all kinds of books out there - fantasy, adventure, romance, but should all those books be forgotten and thrown out for man only to read non-fictional books that are factual rather than interesting?
On one hand, books should be used as a tool for living. They should be informative and contain facts that could benefit us through out our lifetime. An interesting quote is, ‘Knowledge is the key to life’ therefore reading non-fiction books will help us in the future and reflect our actions when we grow up.
On the other hand, books have been brought to life to transport a person away from his troubles into a fictional world, where they are happy and blissful. Taking away such books and reading only factual information will not benefit a humans mind, for they will grow old and grumpy; they will obtain a lot of information but they will be dissatisfied with life - so what is the point of that? Moreover, books are books. No matter the genre or the origination of the book, it will teach us grammar and vocabulary which is vital for a human to know; it will make us emotionally happy and we will still gain knowledge from it.
In my opinion, Forster is wrong because a work of literature MUST provide a scope for the imagination and it must alter reality a little but for us to imagine - for without imagination, we are nothing.
I hope this helps, and please tell me what grade you got as I would love to know:))
The correct answer is <span>hī' brĭd, which is the second option.
Even if you are unsure about the first syllable of the word, you can find the correct answer based on the second syllable. The second syllable, brid, is short, you pronounce it quite fast, which is why you need to use the symbol </span>ĭ, which is a breve, and denotes a short syllable. Given that the second option is the only one that has that symbol, B is the correct answer. The first symbol, ī', is read as 'ai.'
Answer:
First, I see the light beaming down on me through the leaves. It seems I'm growing bigger and bigger. Turning more and more orange. A big figure casting an illuminating shadow comes and rips the nutrient source away from me. He then tosses me on a big trailer with some of my companions and some strangers I've never seen before. There weirdest feeling happens next that makes me almost sick. Then, The big figure takes me and the others off the trailer and onto a big hollow rectangular thing. The same weird feeling occurs as when I was on the trailer. A new big figure appears and takes me off and puts me in the bottom of a box. After that, waiting for what feels like and eternity a smaller new figure picks me up and says some gibberish. I one again experience that weird feeling I had on the trailer. Finally, The little figure picks me up once again and sits me down on a cold hard surface. I hear her speak gibberish to other figures as they lay out an assortment of tools next to me. What is this awful sensation on the top of my head! They're scraping my insides out now! This is the worst sensation I have ever experienced! Now they're cutting my face! The last thing I see is that evil little figures smile as she cuts into me and scraps my guts out.

Mutsuhiro “The Bird” Watanabe A psychopathic, mentally unstable guard given free reign over POWs as the Omori POW camp’s designated “disciplinary officer.” A sadist who freely admitted that beating prisoners aroused him sexually, Watanabe administered crippling punishments on a whim, delighting in devising new ways to degrade and torture the prisoners. After WWII, Watanabe went into hiding until the United States finalized amnesty for all war criminals. In postwar Japan, he made millions as a business owner, married, had children, and lived comfortably until his death in old age.
