In Paragraph 4, President Obama repeats the phrase “Students who sat where you sit …” Why does he include this phrase? How does it add to the meaning of this excerpt? Use evidence from the text.
Answer:

Read the poem.
The Whippoorwill
by Madison Julius Cawein
I.
Above lone woodland ways that led
To dells the stealthy twilights tread
The west was hot geranium red;
And still, and still,
Along old lanes the locusts sow
With clustered pearls the Maytimes know,
Deep in the crimson afterglow,
We heard the homeward cattle low,
And then the far-off, far-off woe
Of "whippoorwill!" of "whippoorwill!"
II.
Beneath the idle beechen boughs
We heard the far bells of the cows
Come slowly jangling towards the house;
And still, and still,
Beyond the light that would not die
Out of the scarlet-haunted sky;
Beyond the evening-star's white eye
Of glittering chalcedony,
Drained out of dusk the plaintive cry
Of "whippoorwill," of "whippoorwill."
III.
And in the city oft, when swims
The pale moon o'er the smoke that dims
Its disc, I dream of wildwood limbs;
And still, and still,
I seem to hear, where shadows grope
Mid ferns and flowers that dewdrops rope,
Lost in faint deeps of heliotrope
Above the clover-sweetened slope,
Retreat, despairing, past all hope,
The whippoorwill, the whippoorwill.
Whippoorwill - a nocturnal bird with a distinctive call that is suggestive of its name
Question 1
Part A
What is a theme of “The Whippoorwill?
In order to move forward, people must leave the past behind.
People sometimes long for what they cannot have.
There is a balance between nature and the city.
Nature soothes the heart and calms the mind.
Question 2
Part B
How does the theme in Part A develop in the poem?
The city sky is filled with cloudy, gray smoke and it makes the speaker feel sad that the moon is hidden.
The speaker thinks he hears the sound of the whippoorwill while walking in the city.
The speaker recalls his fondest memories of nature while living in the city.
The woeful sound of the whippoorwill echos the despair the speaker feels living in the city.

What is the main problem with this conclusion paregraph? Thesis statement: Fun activities should not be classified as "for boys" or "for girls."
Main points
• Classifying activities according to gender keeps kids from trying new activities
• Labeling activities by gender makes some kids feel bad about the activities they enjoy
• All kids should be supported in their talents and interests.
Conclusion: In conclusion classifying activities as "for boys' or "for girls" is unfair and bad for our society. If we want kids to try new activities and feel good about the activities they choose, we have to do away with the labels Family and friends should support boys and girls in whatever interests them. In the same way, it's also not fair to say that certain colors or clothing items are "for boys' or "for girls." When we stop labeling activities, we'll uncover many hidden talents in both boys and girls. A It does not restate the thesis B. It does not have a satisfying close OC. It adds ney information. D. it is missing one of the main points.
Ok so can yall help me review my paragraph b4 I submit it?
The question to this is: Explain how natural resources are identified and why natural resources are unevenly distributed. Be sure to use information from the reading to support your answer. (pls don't copy mine if yall have this too, i don't wanna have to redo it :(
--->Natural resources are identified in mainly one way. According to the article, satellites and machines are used to identify. Satellites can scan the Earth's surface to detect natural resources. The colors shown on the results of the scan represent the types of rocks in the area. For example, yellow-like, orange, and green colors represent limestone, sandstone, and gypsum, respectively. Satellites can also locate vegetation. The displayed shade of red helps scientists identify the trees and plants because each type of plant has its own “brightness” or “darkness". Natural resources are often unevenly distributed. But, this is not humans' fault. Some resources require certain living and temperature conditions. For example, the amount of copper ore produced depends on the amount of volcanic activity. Sometimes, in certain areas of the world, there is more salty water than fresh. This occurs because freshwater travels over many surfaces before it even gets to the ocean. Hence, you may now understand the reason how natural resources are identified, and why natural resources are unevenly distributed.

1) Within a few minutes of meeting Colin, Mary realizes they have much in common. What are the negative qualities they share? What are the positive ones? Explain your answer.
2)Early in the novel, when the servant girl Martha asks Mary if she likes herself, Mary answers, no, she doesn't. Do you think Mary still dislikes herself by the end of the novel? Why or why not? Give at least 3 examples of evidence, such as "Mary likes herself because..."
Answer:
So long as Colin shut himself up in his room and thought only of his fears and weakness ...he was a hysterical half-crazy little hypochondriac who knew nothing of the sunshine and the spring and also did not know that he could get well and could stand upon his feet if he tried to do it. When new beautiful thoughts began to push out the old hideous ones...strength poured into him like a flood.

Use the paragraphs to complete the activity.
Patrick lived in Emoryville, but every Saturday morning he rode two city buses to his uncle’s bookstore in Northview, where he worked. He didn’t mind the commute because he loved his job. He loved spending time with his uncle, but he also loved going to work because he had become friends with Andrew, one of his co-workers. The boys would talk about everything from baseball scores to movies to favorite pizza toppings.
So this Saturday, when Patrick got to work, he and Andrew got to talking as they always did.
“Hey, Pat,” Andrew said casually.
“Hey,” said Patrick. “Did you have a good week?”
“Yeah,” he said. “Great week. My basketball team made it into the semifinals. The game is tonight. We’re playing Emoryville, our nemesis.”
Before Patrick could say another word, Andrew continued. “I don’t like Emoryville. I don’t think I could ever be friends with someone from that town. Our schools are such rivals.”
Patrick was speechless.
“Where are you from, Pat? I can’t believe I’ve never asked you that before!”
Patrick fumbled over his words. “Not too far from here,” he said before he quickly changed the subject to the new shipment of graphic novels.
In 3–5 sentences, identify the two different points of view in the story, and describe the humor and suspense created by the differences in point of view.
Answer:
I'll give an answer as best as I can, but you can ask follow up questions if what I write isn't good enough! :)
Explanation:
"The suspense is created when Patrick realises that Andrews' chivalry towards Emoryville most likely will compromise their friendship. The funny thing is that Andrew never got to know that he was from there and that the fact that Patrick is from Emoryville from the get go doesn't affect their friendship, which is ironic and interesting, but also shows that such rivalries shouldn't realistically stand in the way for people to connect.

Briefly describe a time you faced a challenge that forced you to grow, or a time you set a goal you were determined to achieve. What encouraged or motivated you to carry on?
Answer: This will be very unique to a specific person. I'll give you an example that pertains to me.
Explanation:
A challenged that I faced was applying for the Las Vegas Fire and rescue (Fire Department) recruitment. This encouraged me to grow because I had to buckle down and be responsible to pass the recruitment test. I had to set asside fun and goofing around. I also had to work out very hard and be physically fit to lift 200 lbs over my head with ease. So I worked hard and was able to pass with high scores. What really motivated me was my girlfri.end. I understand that she'll still love me even if I didn't pass but I didn't want to go to her as a failiure. She was also there to encourage me to do well. She motivated me to carry on when things started getting tough and I started to doubt myself.

Write an introductory paragraph for a paper comparing the poems "Harlem" by Langston Hughes and “Hold Fast Your Dreams” by Louise Driscoll.
Answer: I believe that the poems Harlem and Hold fast are completely different. I believe this because "Hold your fast dreams" is saying to keep your dreams and to hold it and "Harlem" talked about dreams fading away like old meat. Another reason is because "Harlem" is comparing a dream to other things like crust and sugar, though on the other hand "Hold Your Fast Dreams" is saying to put your dreams in your heart and believe.

Passage:
From Guiseppi Verdi by Thomas Trapper
Whenever the organ man came into the village of Roncole, in Italy (where Verdi was born, October 10, 1813), Verdi could not be kept indoors. But he followed the wonderful organ and the wonderful man who played it, all day long, as happy as he could be.
When Giuseppe was seven years old his father, though only a poor innkeeper, bought him a spinet, a sort of small piano. So faithfully did the little boy practice that the spinet was soon quite worn out and new jacks, or hammers, had to be made for it. This was done by Stephen Cavaletti, who wrote a message on one of the jacks telling that he made them anew and covered them with leather, and fixed the pedal, doing all for nothing, because the little boy, Giuseppe Verdi, showed such willingness to practice and to learn. Thus the good Stephen thought this was pay enough.
