Read this excerpt about the Vietnam War from "Ambush" by Tim O'Brien:
When she was nine, my daughter Kathleen asked if I had ever killed anyone. She knew about the war; she knew I'd been a soldier. "You keep writing war stories," she said, "so I guess you must've killed somebody." It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, "Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while. Someday, I hope, she'll ask again. But here I want to pretend she's a grown-up. I want to tell her exactly what happened, or what I remember happening, and then I want to say to her that as a little girl she was absolutely right. This is why I keep writing war stories:
He was a short, slender young man of about twenty. I was afraid of him-afraid of something-and as he passed me on the trail I threw a grenade that exploded at his feet and killed him. . . .
Even now I haven't finished sorting it out. Sometimes I forgive myself, other times I don't. In the ordinary hours of life I try not to dwell on it, but now and then, when I'm reading a newspaper or just sitting alone in a room, I'll look up and see the young man coming out of the morning fog. I'll watch him walk toward me, his shoulders slightly stooped, his head cocked to the side, and he'll pass within a few yards of me and suddenly smile at some secret thought and then continue up the trail to where it bends back into the fog.
How does the author's specific word choice and stylistic devices affect the excerpt's tone? Be sure to use specific details from the text to support your answer.
Answer and Explanation:
First, we can say the tone of the excerpt is sad and regretful.
The author is careful in his word choice, especially when it comes to describing the man he killed. He does not describe him as an enemy, as dangerous. He does not try to convince himself or the reader that his actions were justifiable. The fact that he concisely explains how the killing happened, with direct sentences, also show he is being honest and straightforward. He does not try to paint a different picture of what happened. It is worth noting that he does not worry much about the man's appearance. All he says is that he was short, slender, and about twenty. We do not know if the man looked threatening. All we know is that the author was afraid, and that that was enough to do what he did.
As for the parts about his daughter and his own feelings, the author is also direct, concise. However, when he describes the man in his imagination, he gives more details, painting a more vivid picture than he did when he described the killing. Now we know how the man walks, what his posture and attitude are like. It seems that the author wishes to convey how his thoughts linger, how his regrets come back again and again.

solve the equation ¾+⅝
Answer:
11/8 in improper form or 1 and 3/8
Explanation:
To do this, both denominators have to be the same. We are going to make 3/4 have an eight in the denominator (Bottom number).
4x2 = 8. Yay! the denominator is 8! But wait! What we do to the top, we must do to the bottom. Multiply the top number (3) by 2.
3*2 is 6. Your new fraction is 6/8. 6/8 is the same amount as 3/4.
Now let's add the top numbers of both fractions together. 6 and 5.
6+5= 11. Now that we have our top number, let's put it on top of the bottom number.
That gives us 11/8.
We can leave it like this but it's better if we put it in proper form.
Let's do 11 minus 8. That gives us 3. We have a whole 8/8 plus an extra 3.
8/8 is a whole so it's equal to 1. Now, we can't forget the extra 3!
We have 1 whole and 3/8 of a whole.
That gives us 1 and 3/8

Answer:
A or C I'd pick A myself.
Explanation:
Anything with a comma in front of instead is simply not correct. The sentence is too long and the change too abrupt to be handed with a comma. So B and D leave a little bit to be desired.
I don't think C is correct, but it is just marginally not so. If I saw it in a student paper, I'd probably ignore it. I don't think you need the comma after instead. I would pick a myself, but that does not mean I'm correct.
Don't be a bit surprised to see the answer is C. I think the comma after instead is too much, but that is a matter of opinion.
Instead is an adverb. Most of the time you need not emphasize adverbs. It's a very hard call.

Which of the following demonstrates effective embedding of quotations?
1. Juliet calls the dagger "happy" in Act V, Scene 3.
2. Juliet says: "I shall say goodnight/Till it be morrow" (IL.1.86).
3. Simon's early assertion that he does not "believe in the beast", (Golding, 105)
makes his confrontation with it more ironic.
4. Romeo is more than "fortune's fool," (III.1.133) he is an icon of the follies of youth.
Answer:
3. Simon's early assertion that he does not "believe in the beast", (Golding, 105) makes his confrontation with it more ironic.
Explanation:
We may well wonder: what is an embedded quotation?
Put simply, it involves skillfully making reference to what someone else said in a way that matches the idea you intend to present.
In the example above, the writer's idea or viewpoint is beautifully presented by making reference to what Simon said earlier. By smoothly adding that quotation (|"believe in the past"), the reader can thus relate to the idea passed by the writer.

How does "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" break away from traditional poetic conventions? Select all that apply.
It incorporates many allusions to other texts.
It distorts the traditional concept of a love song.
olt abandons the strict orderliness of the Victorian era.
o It emphasizes the search for meaning in a seemingly meaningless world.
Answer:
It distorts the traditional concept of a love song.
It emphasizes the search for meaning in a seemingly meaningless world.
Explanation:
"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" is an extremely sentimental and striking poem, besides being melancholy and sad, causing great reflections in the reader, about what it is to be loved, what it is to have hope and what it is to feel empty and alone.
The poem features a speaker who longs to establish a romantic affair with someone, but has all his attempts unsuccessful. This speaker does not want to abandon this desire, but his hopes are completely empty, making him feel melancholy and try desperately to seek some connection, some meaning in the world that is as empty as he is. This destabilizes the concept of a love song as something happy and comfortable, as the poem shows a visceral and uncomfortable version of a love song in the life of someone hopeless about love, but very much wants to feel it.
The Tornado that Changed America
How does Tarshis use figurative language to portray the tornado?
Please help asap
Answer:
Tarshis was very generous in his use of metaphors and personification to describe the tornado and its activities.
Explanation:
For example, Tarshis in one of the sentences states that the tornado was a ferocious and deadly monster.
In another sentence, the tornado is also described as having chewed trees and scattered branches:
"it was powerful enough to chew apart trees and scatter branches."
To describe something figuratively means to use a literary device such as a metaphor, idiom or irony to express, portray or qualify such a thing, person, or activity rather than using the literal form of it.
A metaphor is a device in the literature that enhances the description of a thing by comparing it to another that is very unrelated. For example, Bisi has an Iron First.
In the text, ferocious and deadly monster can be said to be metaphorical. Monsters are living things and can be ferocious.
Personification on the other hand is when attributes of a human are attributed to a non-living thing or an animal.
Humans are able to chew. Humans are able to scatter. So the sentence
"it was powerful enough to chew apart trees and scatter branches." contains the device of personification.
Cheers
Tarshis used a lot of personification and metaphors to describe the tornado and its actions.
A metaphor is a comparison of two things that aren't exactly the same but have some similarities nonetheless. Tarshis, for instance, says, "The tornado was a monster." In this metaphor, a monster—a big, strong, destructive creature—is compared to a tornado.
Personification is a figure of speech in which an object or animal is given human characteristics. Tarshis, for instance, pens, "The tornado's wind howled." The tornado now resembles a live, vocal being as a result of this personification.
Hence, by utilizing metaphorical language, Tarshis makes the impression that the tornado may be a genuine and scary normal phenomenon. It serves as a powerful update on the destruction that tornadoes may do and the value of being prepared for serious weather.
