Please Help ASAP Write a paragraph about a movie you have recently seen. Create a critical, disparaging tone through your choice

of details. Use Twain's paragraph as a model.
Twains Paragraph: "But that is Cooper's way; frequently he will explain and justify little things that do not need it and then make up for this by as frequently failing to explain important ones that do need it. For instance he allowed that astute and cautious person, Deerslayer-Hawkeye, to throw his rifle heedlessly down and leave it lying on the ground where some hostile Indians would presently be sure to find it - a rifle prized by that person above all things else in the earth - and the reader gets no word of explanation of that strange act. There was a reason, but it wouldn't bear exposure. Cooper meant to get a fine dramatic effect out of the finding of the rifle by the Indians, and he accomplished this at the happy time; but all the same, Hawkeye could have hidden the rifle in a quarter of a minute where the Indians could not have found it. Cooper couldn't think of any way to explain why Hawkeye didn't do that, so he just shirked the difficulty and did not explain at all." Mark Twain, "Cooper's Prose Style," Letters from the Earth

Answer:

Five students at the largest public high school in Queens take on a chaotic world as they fight to succeed, survive, break free and seize the future. A bombing blocks away sends their High School into lockdown, building pressure that spills over at the "party of the century" that night. Jayson is a popular kid and well-liked. After the bomb went off, he was missing and everyone thought something might've happened to him. He ended up being okay and it was a misunderstanding. Joey stages a protest at school. Owen and John face a harsh penalty for their lockdown prank.  Dominique likes this boy and while she likes him she’s going through money problems and has to help the best way she can and she knows how to do hair, and even though that’s a lot to be doing when you are in school for at least 8 to 9 hours she feels as though she can do it and her mom knows she’s overworking herself but she doesn’t want to listen to her mom and sister or her friends because she feels as though this is something she has to do and he wants to for the better good. But she suddenly befriends a girl in her school when she learns what and how much stuff she’s been going through and wants to help her get justice for her being sexually assaulted by 3 boys because a night of partying took a devastating turn. Leaving Joey traumatized she spirals and presses charges. Owen's discipline hearing sends shockwaves at school. Joey has to cope with a difficult setback in her case. Choking under pressure, Dom breaks her trust with a teacher, and she and Joey find some release. After helping to lead the Black Student Union sit-in, Jayson stuns the crowd at his Lincoln Center performance.

All members of the animal kingdom need sleep to help their brains function properly.

Very often the first sentence of a paragraph is the topic sentence. Another way to figure out the topic sentence is to find the sentence that is the main idea of the entire paragraph, like an overview of the information in it. It’s usually pretty general and doesn’t have specific statistics or pieces of information.

What motivates the cyclops to ask poseidon for the demise of odysseus and all his men?​
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

b

Explanation:

This excerpt doesn't give much detail but I'm pretty sure this is Polyphemus speaking. He is a cyclops, and son of Poseidon. When Odysseus and his men were trapped in a cave with the giant man-eating cyclops, they plotted to blind him and escape. So Odysseus got Polyphemus drunk on some kind of wine and waited for him to pass out. Then they got a huge stick or branch, sharpened the end and plunged it into the giant's eye. One can easily surmise that Polyphemus would seek revenge for this, so answer B is definite. Answer A might be an additional factor, as Polyphemus does refer to him in this passage as "raider of cities"--indicating perhaps some disapproval--but the damage to his (only!) eye would be the most important issue, since that is personal.
