ZanzabumX [31]

Question:

One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armor-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.

“What’s happened to me?” he thought. It wasn’t a dream.

Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. “How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense,” he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn’t get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn’t have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before.

There was a cautious knock at the door near his head. “Gregor,” somebody called—it was his mother—“it’s quarter to seven. Didn’t you want to go somewhere?” Gregor was shocked when he heard his own voice answering, it could hardly be recognized as the voice he had had before. As if from deep inside him, there was a painful and uncontrollable squeaking mixed in with it, the words could be made out at first but then there was a sort of echo which made them unclear. Gregor had wanted to give a full answer and explain everything, but in the circumstances contented himself with saying: Yes, mother, yes, thank-you, I’m getting up now.“

Fix any mistakes in the following passage and retype it:

satela [25.4K]

Jefferson school is a very unique school. It has its ups and downs. From staff to the youngest students, we all are our own people and are one family. Although Jefferson school is a great school, there are several changes that could be made to change our school for the better. We could fix our school by changing the dress code, not overworking students and focusing on the students themselves, not their grades.

Through the 9 years i've been here, Jefferson schools has changed their rules several times. From accepting hoodies to banning them, because mostly the students abused the use of hoodies. Other rules have been the same since the beginning of time, like not wearing black. But one problem with the rules is the dress code. The school limits the students to what they can wear and what they can’t. This causes students’ creativity to be limited too. Every student wearing the exact same thing causes dullness. Wearing uniform or having a dress code is reasonable for any school, but to the point where students can’t express themselves isn’t okay. To be fairly honest, the school is limits the students themselves. I think the school should change certain things in the dress code, like letting students wear black and or letting them wear hoodies. Little changes can make big differences, so let these little changes make a difference in our school.

One thing this school needs to focus is not overworking the students. I know this school is known for its academics but overworking students is not okay at all. Teachers tell us that they “understand our pain” everyday but still tend to give out homework. Logically, I know that getting rid of homework is almost as impossible as removing uniform, but some changes can be made, like lessening the homework by a large amount. Lessening the homework will have a great effect on your students. Some students grades will change with the decrease in homework, while other students will get an increase in sleep with is good for both their physical and mental health. We’ve all heard when a student tells the teacher they didn’t have time to do their assignment, because they were busy studying for an assignment or doing another assignment for another class. One teacher told my class that they “would rather give more than less” ,meaning that they want to give more information than they need to give us. Giving a student more work than they need is too much, isn’t it? Do you want your students overworkerd? That’s the question.

This problem is within most schools, but it’s a big problem in ours. Academics are considered very important in this school. Our school seems to only care about how well the students do. From Science Fair to The art reflections, Jefferson wants to be the best in everything. There’s no problem with that. What’s wrong is that pressure is pushed on to the students. I feel like the school thinks that if the students work hard, the school will improve a lot. But all this work, with insanely large amounts is not going to work at all. Together the school must find another way for the students to learn without too much stress or too much pressure. Hopefully we do find a way.

With its many problems, Jefferson schools is still the one and only. Although it’s not perfect, it’s doing the best it can and as a student, I will very thankful and grateful toward my school. However, I love this school and all, but it need changes such as changing the dress code, not overworking the students, and less focusing on their grades. Maybe after these changes, our school will be better than before."

Write a précis of "From 'On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" paragraph 1 by Henry David Thoreau

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The actions and projects of a permanent government are carried out to the point of letting the permanent government become an inconvenience for the people, which it must represent. This is because the government is a completely corrupt system and can be used to stimulate the creation of conflicts and battles without importance that only bring disadvantages to the population. For this reason, it can be said that the best government is one that governs nothing, but the population is not ready for it.

Explanation:

The above précis was written from the first paragraph of "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" where Thoreau exposes the governments' responsibility and incompetence to really represent the will of the people and not to be inconvenient. It also reinforces the need to allow the population to constantly complain about permanent governance, which promotes an easily corrupt and despotic system.

List the 4 steps to writing a successful narrative essay.

kenny6666 [7]

1. Pellucidity

Intricate words and syntax are an obstruction to pellucidity and should be evaded. Conceptions should be limpidly distributed between sentences and paragraphs.

Example: Albeit I have never been to the races afore, I was very exhilarated to behold them, yet withal remotely nervous, because of the type of people who go there.

Amended: I’d never been to a horse race. I was exhilarated to go, but withal a little nervous, since I wasn’t sure about the people at the track.

2. Don’t describe each and every one of your own forms of kineticism

Example: As I went in the door, I turned and visually perceived a TV. I looked around and visually perceived posters on the wall.

As I went further in I descried everyone was optically canvassing M*A*S*H.

Ameliorated: I immediately descried the posters on the wall, though everyone else’s ocular perceivers were fixated on a TV playing M*A*S*H.

3. Evade the second-person narrative

A consequential part of the narrative essay is the fact that the inditer experienced the events described.

Example: As you go in the door, you will turn and visually perceive a TV. You look around and visually perceive posters on the wall.

As you go further in you descry everyone is optically canvassing M*A*S*H.
Inditing in the present tense is okay, however.

4. To interest the reader, dynamic word cull is key

Evade sounding too clinical. Utilize the same slang, idiom, and turns of phrase you would utilize in verbalization. Eschew passive constructions.

Example: I am presented an array of unpleasant photos in which many casualties are shown after automobile accidents.

Ameliorated: They showed me a book stuffed with gruesome pictures of people who’d been in car wrecks.
