Answer:

A: Have you ever really struggled to make a decision? I sure did. It was springtime. I was 11 years old and living with my grandma and grandpa in Florida. The weather was wonderful. I couldn’t wait to try out for spring sports!

B: That spring I had to decide between playing soccer and volleyball. I loved both sports but knew that if I wanted to be able to perform at my best, I would have to choose one over the other.

C: Beginning action topic sentence: I loved playing sports in the spring. The weather was just right.

Supporting detail 1: Every day, I’d rush home after school, gobble up a snack, and rush out again to play soccer in the park with my friends.

Supporting deta

il 2: Sometimes I went to the tennis courts on weekends with my best friend, Anna, who was on the tennis team at school.

Supporting detail 3: And then there were the afternoons we spent playing volleyball on the beach.

D: Middle action topic sentence: I had played soccer since I was 6 years old. My dad taught me to play because the little boys in my neighborhood wouldn’t let a girl like me play with them.

Supporting detail 1: From that day on, my dad was my coach. Playing soccer became one of my favorite things to do with him.

Supporting detail 2: It was my dad who encouraged me to join the junior soccer team when I was in the sixth grade.

Supporting detail 3: By then, soccer was not just an important part of my relationship with my dad; it was also my go-to whenever I felt down or discouraged.

E: End action topic sentence: Volleyball was a new sport for me.

Supporting detail 1: I only ever played it when I went to the beach with my friends. I had never played for a school team.

Supporting detail 2: I knew from the few times I’d played volleyball that I enjoyed the game. It was exciting, and it got my blood pumping.

Supporting detail 3: But I also knew that my serves were very weak; they never went where I wanted them to go. Usually the various members of the other team ducked the minute I served the ball. They didn’t want to get hit.

F: After I really took the time to think about it, I decided I would choose soccer as my spring sport. I had played it for so long that it just felt like the best choice. I will always remember this time in my life because it taught me to trust my instincts. Even though I still enjoy volleyball, soccer is my true love. I’m glad that I’ve stuck with it all these years.

Answer:

O Montresor is an unreliable narrator.

Explanation:

This passage is narrated in the first person. As we know, Montressor, the narrator, is an unbalanced man and crazy for revenge. In his conception Fortunato would never be able to understand what his plans were and why he acted the way he did, but we are not able to know if this is true, through the narration of Montressor.

As we only know his perception of what happens in history, we do not know what is real and what is invented, so we can say that he is not a reliable narrator.

if anyone has taken journalism before, can you please write me a news story about why poaching is bad. It Has to be at least 4 t

Tema [17]

Answer:

I've never taken journalism, but I can make one hell of an essay.

Explanation:

Poaching is an illegal practice of delinquent rule breaking for the desire of killing for sport. Restrictions such as protected national parks, laws in most countries, protected and tracked endangered species, and other common regulations are all invalidated by hunters who poach. Laws on a country-wide level should be common knowledge, and should have no reason to be enforced so heavily in some countries. Even so, the illegal activity of poaching still occurs in many cases all over the world.

This disgusting "sport" - as categorized by many - is extremely endangering to animals. In fact, most species on the endangered species list are animals who have the highest poaching rate. When they aren't killed for sport, they are killed for "rare" parts. An example of this would be the black rhino poaching crisis in Africa, where rhinos are killed for their horns.

Similar to Yellowstone National Park, there are many special designated areas on the national level to protect the species that live there. More often than not, these areas have endangered species that are desired by hunters who poach. These areas are regularly monitored, and generally have decent security systems. This can include cameras, chips in the animals, or traditional strategies like standing guards.

Chipped animals are those we can accurately track at any point and time. Think of your dog, who might have a chip in his ear so that if he runs away you can find him. We use these chips to track different animals or different species to make sure they are safe and where they need to be. Although this strategy seems bulletproof to catch poachers, illegal hunters have found a simple way around this.

General laws are the least effective strategy to stop poachers, but the most common solution seen by far. While these laws are in place, they are rarely enforced due to them usually being on the federal government level in most countries. Although, as expected, most countries that use this strategy lets poaching go right under all of their noses, making the countries with these laws have the highest amount of this illegal activity going on.
