Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The first two lines of How Things Work by Gary Soto read;

<em>Today its going to cost us twenty dollars </em>

<em>To live. Five for a soft ball. Four for a book</em>

Pauses are in line 2 just where the full stops are

Stresses are on the words: Today, Five, Four

When these words are stressed, the sentence gains more meaning and feeling.

What is the difference between affect and effect, and when would you use both?
Degger [83]
Affect is when something has changed. For example you could say that spring affects your allergies. Effect is the result of something. Another example would be when you didn't pay attention in class, the effect would show in your work or test grades. You use affect as a verb and Effect as a noun

Why were the villagers in the story hey come on out
dexar [7]

A story of social criticism with an ecological message, Hoshi’s “He-y, Come on Ou-t!,” begins with a mysterious hole that has been created after a landslide in a typhoon. The local villagers are trying to repair a nearby shrine, but the hole must first be filled in before rebuilding can start. A young man leans over and yells “He-y, come on ou-t!” into the hole, thinking that it may be a fox hole. When no one answers or exits the hole, he throws in a pebble, which never seems to reach the bottom.

Eventually the story of the bottomless hole attracts the attention of scientists and the media. The scientists can find no bottom and no cause for the hole, and the villagers decide to have it filled in. A man asks for the hole and offers to build them a shrine elsewhere, which the mayor and townspeople agree to do. The man who gained control of the hole begins a campaign, collecting dangerous nuclear waste and other unwanted objects, which he disposes of into the hole.
