Examine the central idea of Chapter 2 in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. In this chapter, Tom uses ingenuity and his knowledge of

human nature to convince others to do his assigned chore of painting the fence.
Once you have read the chapter, write a journal entry discussing Tom’s theory about work versus play. How does he convince Jim and the other boys to do his work for him? How does his technique with Jim differ from that of the other boys? Why do you think this is? Think about your first impressions of Tom from Chapter 1. Has your opinion of him changed based on the events in this chapter?

Your response should be about 150 words in length, and use details from the text to support your ideas.

Answer:

Toms think of work as something your obligated to do but the play is something you get the choice or want to do.  Tom's Aunt makes him whitewash the fence he really doesn't want to do it so he tricks his friends into doing it.  He says "it's not everyday a boy gets to whitewash a fence" which makes his friend more and more interested in it.  Then he tells his friend, his aunt would only let one in one to two thousand boys work on her fence, which made his friend even more interested until he was begging to whitewash the fence.

List two examples of irony from “The Lottery” story and explain how they are ironic.
Len [333]
One example of irony is that Tess is chosen to be the one for the lottery yet in the beginning she is portrayed to be a carefree woman that cares for her family and a person the town likes. Also old Man Warner makes fun of towns that are wanting to get rid of The Lottery and he thinks that means they will go back to primitive times. Though it is the opposite because that town is moving forward by abandoning dated traditions to match moral standards.

I need help with dis.
Llana [10]

Answer:

Argumentative writing → An essay argues that light on the field would add to the quality of life in the community.

Claim → The soccer field would get more use because the lights would allow night games.

Counterclaim → Some people think it is not worth the expense

Evidence → According to a poll, more than one third of the citizens approve the cost of adding lights to the soccer field

Reasoning → Our town should place lights near the soccer fields so teams can play at night.

Explanation:

I have been able to place each sentence to the correct term.

An essay that argues on a subject is usually classified to be argumentative writing. The statement claimed that "<em>The soccer field would get more use because the lights would allow night games</em>". This is actually a claim. But an opposition to the claim is known as counterclaim. So, when "<em>Some people think it is not worth the expense</em>", then it is counterclaim.

Then an evidence was given which we see from the poll that was carried out. Evidence usually comes with facts and data which is what the poll provided.

The speaker actually reasoned or thought that their "<em>...town should place lights near the soccer fields so teams can play at night</em>". This is reasoning.
