Nellie Bly is a reporter. Who does she pretend to be, and why? Cite textual evidence from the selection to support your answer.
Korolek [52]

Explanation:

pretended she was crazy and got herself committed, all to help improve conditions in a New York City mental institution.

“The insane asylum on Blackwell’s Island is a human rat-trap. It is easy to get in, but once there it is impossible to get out.”

Those words, describing New York City’s most notorious mental institution, were written by journalist Nellie Bly in 1887. It was no mere armchair observation, because Bly got herself committed to Blackwell’s and wrote a shocking exposé called Ten Days In A Madhouse. The series of articles became a best-selling book, launching Bly’s career as a world-famous investigative reporter and also helping bring reform to the asylum.

In the late 1880s, New York newspapers were full of chilling tales about brutality and patient abuse at the city’s various mental institutions. Into the fray came the plucky 23-year Nellie Bly (born Elizabeth Cochrane, she renamed

Write an essay in the form of a personal letter
Ghella [55]
One evening, while I was working outside in my yard, my neighbor came over. We weren’t really friends, but we had always spoken whenever we saw each other. Once, when my car wouldn’t start, he offered to drop me at the office. That night, though, he invited my wife and me to his church the following Sunday. His pastor had just begun speaking on what the Bible said about being an influential man. I wanted to be a man of influence. As the pastor spoke that morning, I knew that the influence and success I had achieved could never be enough. I understood that I was a sinner and could never pay the price of being “good enough” to deserve heaven. The only thing that really mattered was Jesus Christ and His death on the cross for MY sin. When he gave the invitation for us to accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, I knew that I needed to be saved, to accept Jesus and that His work was sufficient to assure me of God’s love for me and a place in heaven. I realized it was not enough to just know about Jesus, but that I needed to know Him, personally. I did accept Jesus Christ that Sunday and placed all of my faith in Him and His work on the cross and was baptized. I will always be grateful to my neighbor who invited me to attend church with him.

ozzi
In scene 4, lines 1-30, Capulet tries to get Juliet to marry Paris. Capulet decorates the wedding to where it would be perfect. He wants Juliet to marry Paris because he was very wealthy and he had great fame. 
<span>Capulet had given Juliet her freedom as a child and he wanted her to </span>hurry<span> up and marry Paris before she got too old. </span>
<span>The audience, Friar and the nurse were the only people who knew about Romeo and Juliets marriage. Romeo and Juliet fell in love and they knew that they shouldnt be able to get married. This makes it a dramatic irony because Juliet is already married to Romeo.</span>
