When the general, nursing his bruised shoulder, had gone, Rainsford took up his flight again. It was flight now, a desperate, ho

peless flight, that
carried him on for some hours. Dusk came, then darkness, and still he pressed on. The ground grew softer under his moccasins; the vegetation grew
ranker, denser; insects bit him savagely. Then, as he stepped forward, his foot sank into the ooze. He tried to wrench it back, but the muck sucked
viciously at his foot as if it were a giant leech. With a violent effort, he tore his foot loose. He knew where he was now. Death Swamp and its
quicksand
Why does the author use the figurative phrase "as if it were a giant leech' to describe how the muck sucked at the character's foot?
)
A)
To show that the mud feeds on blood and is actually alive.
B)
To give the reader a clue about what sort of animals might be living in
such a swamp
To compare the mud to a nasty, pain inducing creature in order to show its
sinister nature
None of these give a valid reason why the author would use a comparison
to a leech to describe the mucki

Selections must be from Unit 1: William Bradford (U1L2), Anne Bradstreet (U1L4), Phillis Wheatley (U1L4), Jonathan Edwards (U1L5
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

William Bradford.

Anne Bradstreet.

Explanation:

Excerpt written by Willian Bradford, in the poem "A word to New England":

<em>"Oh New England, you can not boast; </em>

<em>Thy former glory thou hast lost. </em>

<em>When H00ker, Winthrop, Cotton died, </em>

<em>And many precious ones beside, </em>

<em>Thy beauty then it did decay, </em>

<em>And still doth languish more away. "</em>

William Bradford was one of the first American writers, being one of the most important in the literary production and in the general history of the country. He was a Puritan, served as governor of the Plymouth colony and is the author of the most important account of English colonists and the difficulties they faced on the new continent.

Excerpt written by Anne Bradstreet, in the poem "Upon a Fit of Sickness":

<em>"Bubble blast, how long can'st last? </em>

<em>That always art a breaking, </em>

<em>No sooner blown, but dead and gone, </em>

<em>Ev'n as a word that's speaking. </em>

<em>The whil'st I live, this grace me give, </em>

<em>I doing good may be, </em>

<em>Then death's arrest I shall count best, </em>

<em>because it's thy decree. "</em>

Anne Bradstreet is recognized as the first poet within the territory where the USA is today. She never went to school, but she learned to read and write with her father who was instrumental in her education and one of the main responsible for her ability. She was also a Puritan, but she was not well regarded by other Puritans for displaying behavior considered wrong for that society, such as a woman writing and showing love for her husband.

The question is at the bottom.

Hello. You left the question incomplete. Here is the continuation:

... these colonies of tiny organisms would not last. In fact, we’d be lucky if they lasted 5 more years. She cared about the safety of these coral reefs more than she has cared about anything for a long, long time. She had to do something for the fragile, endangered habitat with its fish, mollusks, worms, crustaceans and many more.

So, she used her money to create a lab at her aunt’s house. She worked tirelessly—endlessly—sleeping only when she had to.

“It’s what mom and dad would have done,” she thought.

Her best friend Sam, would hang out with her everyday—eating pizza, fries, and whatever else he could get his hands on, keeping her company with his humor while Sophie worked on her experiments. And now, she has a biological solution in her hands.

She hesitated at the door to the labs. Nervously, she shifted her lab report from one hand to the other.

“I know that have an innovative approach to solving the coral reef issue and I know I can help,” she said to no one.

The image of being ridiculed by these professors, delayed her entry. She stood outside the door, wanting to run back- wanting to hide- glued to the icy spot.

“Hey, Sophie!” She turned at the unexpected sound of Sam’s voice.

“I’ve been… trying to catch up with you,” he panted- out of breath. “Let’s go in and… show them… what you’ve got.”

Sophie tilted her head, smiled at Sam and opened the door. She walked confidently to the front, laid out her research on the podium and began her presentation. When her presentation ended, it was to the enthusiastic sound of the scientists’ applause.

Setting:

Protagonist

Rising Action:

Conflict:

Climax:

Falling Action:

Resolution:

Answer:

Scenario: Winter in New York in the current year.

Protagonist: Sophie.

Rising Action: When sophie is outside the room debating with herself.

Conflict: Sophie is concerned that her research will be disregarded and serve as a joke to scientists.

Climax: Sophie enters the room to show her research to the scientists.

Falling action: Sofia ends her presentation.

Resolution: Scientists applaud Sophie's research and presentation.

Explanation:

The scenario is the environment in which the story takes place.

The protagonist is the main character in the story, the one who moves the plot and where all the situations occur around this character.

Rising action is the part of the script where the tension starts to build up towards the climax.

Conflict is the element that shows what the protagonist will need to face.

Climax is the moment when the character will face his challenge.

Falling action occurs when the character fought the challenge he had.

Resolution is the part of the script that ends the story with the defeat or victory of the character.
