Narrative Essay on Hurricane Sandy

English
1 answer:
lisov135 [29]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Hurricane Sandy was definitely a very difficult time for everyone in the northeast region. Initially I did not realize how hard it was going to hit us, because the previous year Hurricane Irene did not have such a strong effect on my town. Of course we did not leave the house, and there were a few fallen trees, however it did not affect us like Hurricane Sandy did.

Even though I wasn’t expecting a very severe hurricane, my parents still prepared for the worst. They requested me to come home and stay even though many of my friends were still on campus. I figured being with my family during this difficult time would make the most sense. When the hurricane hit initially we did not lose any electricity even though many families around us did. My sister and I decided to end our boredom by watching random television shows, and just as we found something that interested us, the power went out. We were hoping it was just a quick power shortage, and that the power would be back within the hour. We were in for a big surprise. We did not have warm water or power for five days.

For those five days we charged our laptops and phones inside of my mom’s car, and used them until they had to be charged again and again. During that time, we went on a hunt for all of our old DVDs in our basement, and brought them all up one by one to watch on the laptop. We would listen to the radio from time to time to find out if there were any updates regarding the power outage. The entire time I couldn’t wait for everything to get back to normal so I could return to school and start enjoying my life again.

It was one afternoon when my mom and I were in the car listening to the radio, when I realized that we didn’t have it nearly as bad as people in other ...

Answer:

1.  Council members <u>deplored</u> the outbreak of violence in areas close to schools.

2. Several of the old buildings still retained the <u>ornate</u> ceilings and banisters that were typical of the eighteenth century.

3. During economic hardships, most people find <em><u>prodigal</u></em> spenders offensive.

Explanation:

The corresponding and appropriate vocabulary for the bolded words in the given sentences are changed as follows-

1. In replacing "grumbled about" with "deplored", they imply the same attitude but with much more strong opposition. While mere grumbling may suggest complaints and disinterest, 'deplored' gives a sense of strongly disapproving of the plan.

2. The word "stylish" can be replaced by "ornate" as they both imply the same decorative sense of the ceiling. But at the same time, "ornate" gives the sense of a more beautiful, better-decorated piece than the simple word "stylish".

3. The word "big" in describing the spenders is plain and can just describe any shopper who spends a lot. But the use of "prodigal" in describing the spenders gives the sense of unnecessary spending. This word gives more voice to the disapproving tone about such spenders.

The question answer of the pobble who has no toes for practice​
kirill [66]
<h2><em>The lesson we learn from the poem the pobble who has no toes by Edward Lear is that we should take care of the important things in our lives </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>​ </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>Explanation: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>In the beginning, the poet  introduces us to  a young Pobble who is very proud of  his  toes His aunt Jobiska warns him that, pobbles often lose their toes by the time they mature. She tells him that his toes have a chance of salvation if he keeps his nose warm. The Pobble  henceforth wears a red flannel scarf on his huge nose. He decided to go for a swim one day, his scarf is stolen by a dolphin before he swims to the opposite shore. When he gets out of the water, he discovers his toes have vanished. As the Pobble mourns his lost toes, he is flabbergasted and contemplates on which creature of the deep may have taken them: A crawfish? A shrimp? A mermaid? </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>It's a story about ; properly taking care of one's things, learning to let go of things that are really not all that important, being obsessed with material things,  accepting one's body image, about growing up and becoming an adult,  the inevitable things that may happen, fear of loss.</em></h2><h2><em /></h2><h2><em /></h2><h2><em>                              HOPE IT HELPS (◕‿◕✿)  </em></h2><h2><em>                                         SMILE!!</em></h2>

What is the fraction 28/32 expressed in lowest terms?
Jobisdone [24]
You would simplify both the numerator and denominator till you cant anymore. Both numbers can go into 4, 28 divided by 4 = 7 and 32 divided by 4 = 8, therefore the answer is 7/8.

Dear Diary,

Today, Something unexpected happened in my life that I never thought of. I have lost a very good friend of mine because he wasn't good at all. This thing is about the time when I and my friend went to the canteen of our school, We were hungry so I gave some to my friend to buy some food from the canteen. He went there and asked the uncle for the foodstuff. He saw that the uncle was new in our school and It was his first day in our school. That Uncle was very old and therefore he wasn't able to remember things clearly, Canteen was crowded and uncle wasn't able to handle that crowd but still, he was trying. While my friend was buying food, suddenly a girl came and started asking for her stuff. Uncle was busy giving her the demanded things, therefore, he forgot to take money from my friend. My friend took advantage of it and went back without giving him the money. He came to me and gave me the food along with the money. I was confused that how he got food without giving the money. He told everything to me and was laughing at the point. I turned really sad as well as angry at his dishonesty. I didn't expect this from him, I went back to the canteen and gave the money to that Uncle and said sorry to him. Then I told my friend that I thought that he was very good and honest but after this, I can say that I was completely wrong at that point. I'm feeling very sad now because he was a very good friend of mine, but because of his dishonesty I cannot be his friend anymore, I used to think wrong about him but now I have known everything. I'm feeling good as well because I'm not a friend of a dishonest person anymore.

Yours Truly,

[Your Name]
