Answer:

Overall, this looks great, but there are a few minor errors that can easily be fixed. I'll fix some problems with the bold and <em>italic</em> fonts:

Explanation:

Original text: "Oh <em>yea</em>," Josh says<em>,</em> "I forgot to mention <em>i'm</em> throwing a little gathering with some people you and I know, so get comfortable because tonight is going to be one hell of a night."

The word "<em>yea</em>," is usually spelled like this in an informal text, but if you are writing a story/essay, use the correct form of this word as, "<em>Yeah."</em>

Also, after your quoted text, you write, <em>"Josh says,..." </em>and for this, you would need to replace the comma (,) with a period (.) because these are two separate independent sentences. So it would be, "<em>Josh says." </em>

And then, in the second sentence, you need to capitalize, "<em>i'm</em>," since it is a proper noun that the subject is using. So, it would be, "<em>I'm</em>."

And, if needed, you can split the second quotation text into two sentences by replacing the comma beside the word, "<em>know</em>," with a period, and then you should capitalize and add a comma beside to the word, "<em>so,"</em> since it is the beginning of a new sentence. But, if you want, you can keep it as it is.

<u>So, your text should be written as the following:</u>

"Oh <em>yeah</em>," Josh says<em>.</em> "I forgot to mention <em>I'm</em> throwing a little gathering with some people you and I know<em>. So,</em> get comfortable because tonight is going to be one hell of a night."

I hope this improves your work. Let me know if all goes well! :D

Answer:

Its looks fine as is, I would just change it to "Oh yea." Josh says, ect.

Or you could say "oh yea." Josh says, "I forgot to mention that throwing a little gathering with some people you and I know." Put something here about what 'Josh' is doing (he looks at you, he looks away, ect.) "You better get comfortable because tonight is going to be one hell of a night."

How are love and affection portrayed in In Memoriam, A. H. H. by Alfred, Lord Tennyson?
kobusy [5.1K]
<span>#1) How are love and affection portrayed in In Memoriam, A. H. H. by Alfred, Lord Tennyson?

Answer: In “Memoriam, A. H. H.” Love and Affections are portrayed as Everlasting. This is explicitly depicted when Tennyson explains his idea of how his good friend Arthur’s death does not mean he will cease to exist inside of him and is now in a better place. He apparently reached a level of immortality in a christian sense.

contrast the culture of two different cities New York and Buenos Aires. What makes these cities stand apart from each other cult
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Both New York and Buenos Aires are huge, cosmopolitan cities which are great business and art centers. First, the main difference about them and what makes each of them unique has to do with the fact that Buenos Aires is the capital city of Argentina, while New York is not a capital city.

Secondly, while Porteños (Buenos Aires citizens) speak Spanish, New Yorkers speak English. However, both cities are full of tourists from all over the world so all languages can be heard walking down their streets.

Third, most of the population in both cities work in big companies and commute regularly, so after-office parties can be seen in the Manhattan as well in Puerto Madero, which is a lovely walk by the docks near Rio de la Plata.

Fourth, citizens usually spend their free time and weekends in the park, such as Central Park in New York and smaller parks in Buenos Aires, like the Japanese Garden and Palermo Forest. Thus, the places are often crowded with joggers, young people and families.

Fifth, as regards food, New Yorkers enjoy hamburguers, hot dogs and Chinese food. Porteños, on the other hand, are fond of barbecue, pizza and empanadas.

Finally, New York is a larger city full of impressive, modern buildings and skyscrapers, while Buenos Aires has a more European appearance. In fact, even though it also has magnificent modern constructions, it is often called the Paris of South America due to its mixture of French and English architecture.
