The Reunion
Kathy Hufford
1 David was really looking forward to summer vacation this year. He didn't mind working hard in school but he was impatient for summer vacation
because he would get to see his Midwest cousins this summer. That's what he called his cousins from Kansas and Missouri. Since David and his
family lived near the gulf coast, the Midwest cousins traveled south for a family reunion on the beach every other year.
2 The crowd was going to be bigger than usual this year. Grandma told David they were expecting over 50 aunts, uncles and cousins for the week at
the beach. Some of his dad's cousins had gotten married or had new babies since he saw them two years ago.
3 David wasn't sure there would be anyone close to his age at the reunion this year. David had always enjoyed tagging along with the older boys
while swimming or playing ball on the beach. Now that he was almost twelve, some of the older cousins were finishing college. Some cousins were
getting married. David wondered if they would still want to hang out with him. Would they be acting like the rest of the grown ups now?
4 David decided that maybe it was his turn to introduce the younger ones to games on the beach. He reminded himself that's how family traditions
are carried on. No matter what, David knew that the reunion would be fun and he looked forward to seeing family members both old and new

Explanation:

The "new woman" was a feminist ideal in the Victorian age. This term described women who fought against the rigid conventional roles imposed on women at the time. In what way is this ideal represented in the character of Mina Murray in Dracula?
A. She is motherly in her affection to all those she knows.
B. She wants to be able to help her husband.
C. She is educated and financially independent.
D. She needs men to protect her from Count Dracula.
E. She doesn’t turn into a vampire after being bitten.

Answers

Answer: C. She is educated and financially independent.

Explanation:

Mina Murray in Dracula embodied the changing thought that the feminists of the Victorian age were pushing. They spoke of women who did not have to rely on men and so were able to throw off the conventional roles imposed on them by society.

Mina Murray was a schoolteacher before she was married and as such was educated and financially independent which meant that she did not have to rely on a man for her needs thus making her a "new woman".

Records show that 70 percent of tardy high school students show up before the end of first period.

Additionally, parents of younger children complain that they have to wait until 8:45 to see their kids off to elementary school.

Katniss’s first reaction when she hears the news about the rule change is to call out Peeta’s name, despite the dangers of alerting the tributes to her presence. Our first reactions are usually are truest; so how does Katniss really feel about Peeta? Is it true that she thinks she must seek him out because no one in district 12 would forgive her? Or is there more to it?

Answers

Answer:

Katniss has said in both The Hunger Games and Catching Fire that she does not know how she feels for him. So there is the evidence for that, and, in other times during Catching Fire, she has deeply wanted Peeta to lay with her at night. Majority, almost all of the time, it was for comfort from her nightmares. But, also, sort of near the end in Catching Fire, in the Hunger Games with the victors, Peeta had massaged a tense spot in her shoulders, and she relaxed. There is many areas in the first two books that shows she does truly love Peeta, but there are also other times that she shows she would rather be with Gale. But, I have seen much more of her loving Peeta rather then Gale. She admitted in book one not all of the love for Peeta was fake. I think that is evidence as to why I think there is more to it then her wanting to seek him out for District twelves forgiveness.

Read the statement below, then decide whether you agree or disagree with it. Be prepared to support your opinion with details from the story. Here's your discussion, the us of foreshadowing in "The Monkeys Paw" is so obvious that gives the events away before they happen

Answers

Answer:

I do not agree with the statement shown above.

Explanation:

You should already know that foreshadowing is a literary resource that allows the author to forward information about events that will happen later in history. This is done to leave the student instigated and anxious for the facts that compose the narrative to unfold.

 It is correct to say that in "The Monkeys Paw" we have a strong use of foreshadowing, mainly through the dark mood that announces that the story will not have a happy ending, but a sad, melancholy one, which will convey the feeling of loss and hopelessness. However, foreshadowing is not so strong as to reveal the events that will happen in history, that is, we know that they will be sad events, but we do not know what events will be and what will happen to them.
