Passed away is a very common way to say that someone has died
Tom moves to Boston and becomes successful, exacting hard terms and showing no mercy to those in his debt. Growing older, Tom regrets his bargain and searches to find a way out of the pact. He becomes zealous in church attendance, prays loudly and publicly, keeps an open Bible in his home, and always carries a small one with him. He does not, however, give up his harsh business practices.
One hot afternoon, dressed in a white linen cap and silk morning gown, Tom is about to foreclose a mortgage. When the poor victim begs for a delay, reminding Tom of the money he previously made from him, Tom replies, “The devil take me . . . if I have made a farthing!” Immediately, there are three knocks at the door, and standing in the street is Old Scratch and a black horse.
Having left the small Bible in his coat and having covered the large one with the mortgage, Tom is helpless to prevent the devil from placing him on the horse, which gallops off down the streets of Boston. The next day, his house burns to the ground, and Tom never returns. It is said, however, that the swamp and Indian fort are haunted by a spirit on horseback wearing a white cap and morning gown. The story is so well-known, says the narrator, that it is the source of the New England saying, “The Devil and Tom Walker.”
In this fragment taken from the novel "A Farewell to Arms" written by Ernest Hemingway which takes place at the Italian campaign during the World War I, Iwas published in the year of 1929.
The diction is a) "common and specific" as it offers, descriptions.
The syntax is c) "modern and complex." as this literary work is considered to be written on a modern style.
The style is b) "accurate and realistic" as modernist literature is characterized by being different to the traditional ways of writing and seeking for a more realistic feeling, in an autobiographical sense.
Impact Of Sports On Youth
Sports have impacted youth in many ways. Some of them being good, some of them being bad. One of the good reasons would be motivation. If a student has low grades, then you can motivate them by taking them out of the team (or threatening to) until they get their grades up. School first, then sports after.
Another impact that's not so great is team spirit. If a student loves to do sports, but isn't as good as the other team, there's a lot of negativity going on there. That might urge them to quit or give up.
Those are just some of the ways sports have impacted youth, and can impact youth.
