PLZZZ HELP ASAP!!!! A Big Year By Bob Kowalski Would you go to the ends of the earth to see a bird? What if it were a really special bird: one with beautiful feathers, an entrancing call, or a silly dance? What if seeing that one special bird would allow you to win a contest? If that contest doesn't get you on television or win you any cash prizes, would you still do it? For those who participate in the "Big Year," the honor of beating the previous record is the only reward they get or even want. A "Big Year" is a year in which a person attempts to see as many different species of birds as possible within a particular region. For most in North America who participate in a "Big Year," this region is the lower 48 American states, plus Alaska, Canada, and a couple of French islands off the Canadian coast. You may be thinking that looking at birds is silly, but just think about the numbers of the recent record holders and the commitment it takes to get these numbers. One recent "Big Year" winner managed to see 744 birds in one year, missing the record by just one bird. Big Year birders travel by train, plane, boat, car, bicycle, and of course, by foot. They can cover over 150 thousand miles to get numbers of sightings this high. They can also spend a small fortune. Just to clarify, the birds these contestants are counting are the number that they see in a particular year. You see, the contest is based on an honor system. No pictures or other evidence is required as proof of a sighting. Most birders take great pride in their reputation and their abilities to see or hear and then identify a bird. Usually, important sightings of the rare birds needed to get counts in the 700s are visited by hundreds of birders. It is pretty hard to cheat your way to a record-breaking year, but in general, few are interested in cheating. This honesty comes from the fact that most people who want to break such a record know the greatest rewards are not necessarily in winning. Such rewards are in being able to commit a year of your life to doing something you love. Rewards are found in seeing amazing, inspiring creatures like the California Condor or the Magnificent Frigate bird. Rewards also come in spending time with people who, like you, want to spend their time looking to the skies and trees for glimpses of emerald, crimson, or cerulean blue feathered jewels. You don't have to be able to travel a continent to have a big birding experience though. Have a big month. Or a big weekend. Set a personal record, learn to identify the species that live in your part of the world, or try to learn the calls of just two species of birds. You will soon find looking at birds isn't such a strange way to spend your time. Extra! Extra! Backyard Birding Many schools, families, and young birders across the country participate in the "Great Backyard Bird Count." While not as long as a "Big Year," the "Great Backyard Bird Count" happens every year. It depends on birders and families across the country to watch feeders and other areas in their yards and count the number of birds they see. Unlike the "Big Year," the goal is not to see who can count the most birds. Instead, participants in this event work together to help bird experts get a good idea of how birds are doing. Participants are given checklists and enter their sightings on a website. Called a "citizen-science" project, this event is open to anyone, requires no travel, and happens every year over one weekend in February. What is the purpose of the third paragraph? A: To argue birders are amazing competitors B: To create a sense of where birders must travel C: To define the purpose and limits of a Big Year D: To suggest birders should be admired for their knowledge

Answer:D

Answer:

Scarface(1983) is the more well known remake of the original classic film 1932 version. The remake adds more layers to the basic story of the original film by placing it in a different historical context.

Explanation:

the original Scarface opened on a character, the new one opens on documentary like information dump about the Cuban crisis and the slew of refugees that followed it. the gangster protagonist in the earlier version was an Italian immigrant, while in the newer version he is a south american on political exile.

so the original story remains about immigrants and how they are lured into crime by their precarious situation on the backdrop of Italian mafia. the newer one is more political but develops its character much more because of how dynamic he is with his dark background and the overly politicized tone of the film.

This response analyzes the differences between Alfred Hitchcock's classic film 'Rear Window' and its modern adaptation, 'Disturbia', highlighting how changes in context, narrative choices, and technological advancements between the versions enrich the original story's themes of privacy, voyeurism, and societal norms.

Analyzing the differences between original films and their remakes can reveal how adapted versions add new layers of meaning to the originals. For instance, comparing Alfred Hitchcock's classic Rear Window (1954) to its modern remakes or adaptations, such as Disturbia (2007), offers insights into how different eras perceive privacy, voyeurism, and community. While Hitchcock's film was steeped in the paranoia and the confined urban living of the 1950s, Disturbia, on the other hand, reflects contemporary society's engagement with digital surveillance and the loss of privacy. Both films, through their narrative choices and technological contexts, illuminate the societal concerns of their times. The artistic choices made in the remake, from the setting to the use of technology, not only modernize the story but also offer a commentary on the evolution of societal norms around privacy.

Furthermore, analyzing the screenplay and character development across both versions, detailed in the Teacher and Student Guide to Analyzing Movies, helps in understanding the nuanced shifts in themes and moral questions posed by these films. As we deconstruct these narratives, we note the unique interpretations and directorial choices that make each version stand out as a distinct reflection of its era's concerns, further enriching the original storyline.

Answer:

false

Explanation:

the conjunctive adverb as used in the sentence is grammatically incorrect:

They all worked hard therefore their teacher inspired them to continue.

A proform takes its meaning from its antecedent; e.g., "John arrived late because traffic held him up." The pronoun him refers to and takes its meaning from John, so John is the antecedent of him.

Final answer:

President Snow threatens to kill Katniss and her loved ones in 'Catching Fire' to control her as she has become a symbol of rebellion against the Capitol's oppressive rule.

Explanation:

In Catching Fire, part of the Hunger Games series, President Snow threatens to kill Katniss and the people she cares about because he sees her as a symbol of rebellion that could incite uprisings in the districts against the Capitol's oppressive regime. Katniss's act of defiance at the end of the first Hunger Games, where she and Peeta threaten to eat the poisonous berries, suggests that there is a way to undermine the control and authority of the Capitol. President Snow's threats are a means to control Katniss and to use her to quell the stirrings of rebellion, by making her comply with the Capitol's demands and by ending the notion that she represents a hope for change.

Final answer:

Ralph's reaction to Jack's plan in Chapter 12 of Lord of the Flies is not explicitly detailed, but it's clear he is desperate and fearful as he is being hunted. The chapter shows Ralph in a state of survival, trying to evade the deadly threat posed by Jack and his hunters.

Explanation:

In the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Ralph's reaction to finding out about Jack's plan is not explicitly described in Chapter 12. Chapter 12 is the final chapter, where the tension between Ralph and Jack reaches its climax. The story does not provide intricate details of Ralph's internal thought process upon discovering Jack's plans, but it is clear that Ralph is anxious and desperate.

He is aware that Jack and his hunters are out to kill him, and he understands the grave danger he is in. This culminates in a frantic chase where Ralph is being hunted down, leading to the intense and dramatic conclusion of the story.

Ralph's reaction is more of a survival response than a reflective one. The emotional turmoil and the breakdown of order on the island have pushed all the boys, particularly Ralph, into a state of sheer survivalism. Ralph's mental state can be inferred as one of fear, desperation, and a will to survive, as he is forced to hide and run for his life.

Answer:

D) I am a tradesman and do not bother others.

Explanation:

Reading the text, we can see that Cobbler is a very humble man. He doesn't wish to disturb anyone, loves his craft (in this case, leather working), and lives by his rules strictly. Take a look at the passage.

COBBLER. Truly, sir, all that I live by, is with the awl: I meddle with no tradesman’s matters, nor women’s matters, but withal. I am indeed, sir, a surgeon to old shoes; when they are in great danger, I recover them. As proper men as ever trod upon neat’s leather have gone upon my handiwork.

Lets analyze the options.

A) I live my life by the surgeons code.

Although, Cobbler does say this, its not a summary of the passage.

B) I work with tools such as leather and awls.

The same concept applies here. Although, realistically, this is a good answer, its not the point of the passage or what Cobbler is aiming for.

C) I am as careful as a surgeon when I work.

Cobbler compares himself to a surgeon to explain that he is a careful repairman, but this a very small piece of text and is more of a loose comparison.

D) I am a tradesman and do not bother others.

Cobbler stresses this through the entire text. He explains he is careful but respectful. Refer to my explanation above for more information.

Final answer:

The sentence 'You see three times the effort is needed to move the heavier box' is already correct, without an interjection or a nonessential phrase that needs to be set off. The sentence is structured properly and does not contain a parallelism error.

Explanation:

The sentence 'You see three times the effort is needed to move the heavier box' does not contain an interjection, nor a nonessential phrase that needs to be set off by commas. Therefore, the sentence is already correctly structured. The sentence expresses a comparison of the effort required to move objects of different weights, emphasizing that a heavier box requires more effort.

When analyzing sentence structure for errors, it's important to consider parallelism, which involves using the same pattern of words to show that two or more ideas have the same level of importance. In the given sentence, parallelism is not an issue; thus the sentence does not contain the error referenced in the third phrase of the first incorrect sentence example provided.

Explanation:

Answer:

It's B,E, and D

Explanation:

Final answer:

The correct answer is D. the weight of the plane. The paragraph indicates that after calculating gasoline consumption and knowing the weight, they could estimate the plane's ceiling to navigate the pass.

Explanation:

The decision on which pass to take was determined by several factors mentioned in Paragraph 21. After June calculated the gasoline consumption and the weight of the plane was known, these factors would allow them to determine the approximate ceiling the plane could achieve. The height of the pass, which was 10,500 feet according to Amundsen's report, would then be compared to this estimated ceiling to decide whether they could complete the flight over Axel Heiberg Glacier, assuming other conditions were favorable.

Based on this information from the paragraph, the correct answer to the question 'In Paragraph 21, what determined which pass they would take?' would be D. the weight of the plane because it is the factor that, combined with the gasoline consumption, helps in calculating the plane's ceiling capacity needed to clear the pass.

Final answer:

Mr. Darcy's dialogue suggests he has unsuccessfully tried to suppress his strong feelings of admiration and love, making B. Mr. Darcy is in pain with his admission of love the correct inference from his words.

Explanation:

From the selection of dialogue in Pride and Prejudice, where Mr. Darcy states, "In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.", we can infer that Mr. Darcy is experiencing an internal conflict regarding his feelings. Despite his attempts to suppress his emotions, he finds it impossible and feels compelled to declare his love to Elizabeth. The term 'in vain' implies that his efforts have been unsuccessful, and the use of 'struggled' connotes a sense of difficulty and distress associated with his feelings. Therefore, the best choice would be B. Mr. Darcy is in pain with his admission of love, indicating that his confession is not an easy one and comes with emotional turmoil.

Answer:

First you need to know what side your on or your claim. In this case the easiest side would be that a vegetarian diet leads to weight loss.

Explanation:

So in organizing your essay you first state your claim then you need at least 5 pieces of evidence for your whole essay to be efficient.

After you state your evidence you would then explain on how that evidence supports your claim.

So those are the basics for writing an argumentative essay. Good Luck!

An argumentative essay introduction on the subject of vegetarian diets and weight loss should start with an engaging opener, provide background info on vegetarian diets, and state a clear thesis reflecting the writer's stance.

To write an argumentative essay introduction on whether a vegetarian diet can lead to weight loss, you would first grab the reader's attention with an engaging opening, like a quote, statistic, or question about weight loss and diet trends. Following this, provide background information to help the reader understand the context of the debate surrounding vegetarian diets and weight loss. It's necessary to define vegetarian diet, perhaps mention popular misconceptions about it, and acknowledge the rise in people turning to plant-based diets for health reasons.

After presenting the background, clearly state your thesis. This is where you identify your position on the topic. An example thesis could be, "While a vegetarian diet is typically associated with health and weight management, it is not a guaranteed method for weight loss due to individual dietary needs and lifestyle factors." This thesis sets the stage for the forthcoming arguments and provides a direction for the essay.

In the introduction, referring back to the provided context, the author turns against their argument when mentioning that meat provides essential nutrients not easily found in a vegetarian diet. They turn back to their argument by acknowledging that in some regions, a meat-based diet is part of the culture or a necessity due to environmental constraints. To strengthen this paragraph, including evidence of specific nutrients that are exclusive to or more prevalent in meat, and expanding on how Arctic populations rely on meat, would provide more substantial support for the claim.

The question is about stress. Paragraph three in the passage explains the differences between modern and ancient stresses.

The correct option is C.

Stress is a natural physiological and psychological response to challenging or threatening situations. It triggers a "fight or flight" response in the body, releasing hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which prepare us to deal with threats. While acute stress can be motivating, chronic stress, often due to ongoing life pressures, can have detrimental effects on mental and physical health. It may lead to anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, and other health issues. Effective stress management techniques, such as exercise, relaxation, and seeking support, are essential to maintain overall well-being.

The purpose of paragraph three in this passage is to explain how modern stresses differ widely from ancient stresses. The paragraph discusses how modern-day humans face different types of stress compared to cavemen due to changes in our lifestyles and environment. It provides examples of modern stressors like financial pressure and social media, contrasting them with the physical threats faced by our ancestors. Therefore, option C) is the best description of the paragraph's purpose.

Hence The correct option is C.

Explanation:

Answer: Symbolism is the use of symbols to signify ideas and qualities, by giving them symbolic meanings that are different from their literal sense. Symbolism can take different forms. Generally, it is an object representing another, to give an entirely different meaning that is much deeper and more significant.

Option A, the detective uncovering a vast conspiracy, is likely an allegory with deeper symbolic meanings, distinguishing it from the more straightforward narratives in the other options.

An allegory is a narrative in which characters, events, or settings symbolize deeper meanings or moral lessons. Among the options provided, option A is most likely an allegory. In this scenario, a detective initially investigating a minor crime but gradually uncovering a massive conspiracy suggests a narrative where the surface-level crime serves as a metaphor for a more significant societal or moral issue. The detective's journey mirrors the process of discovering hidden truths or unveiling a larger, symbolic meaning.

Option B portrays a situation of superficiality but lacks the extended metaphorical depth typically associated with allegory. Option C depicts a straightforward narrative of a father understanding his daughter's career choice, without clear allegorical elements. Option D, while a charming story, does not inherently suggest broader symbolic meanings or moral lessons beyond the surface-level narrative of overcoming shyness and finding romance.

In conclusion, option A, involving a detective revealing a substantial conspiracy, is most likely an allegory due to its potential for deeper symbolic representation and moral implications.

The question probable may be:

Which of the following is most likely an allegory?

O A. A detective starts off investigating a minor crime but slowly starts

to uncover a huge conspiracy.

B. A celebrity learns just how superficial she is when reporters

decide to interview her clothes instead of her.

O C. A father comes to understand his daughter's decision to pursue a

career in music instead of science.

O D. A shy, lonely man works up the nerve to ask the woman of his

dreams out on a date, and she says "Yes!"

By 2016, the average 12th grader said they spent a staggering six hours a day looking at their screen where they were texting, on social media, and online during their free time.

In their free time, 12th graders spend a lot of time on their screens. Smartphones, tablets, PCs, and TVs fall under this category.

These screens are used for texting, social media, and online content. The line emphasises that this estimate of six hours per day just accounts for a few specific activities, implying that the actual time spent on screens could be substantially greater.

The phrase "staggering" emphasises how much time 12th graders spend on screens and how much digital media affects them. It shows how computer time and social media use have skyrocketed, becoming daily habits for many teens. The phrase "screens" captures the dominance of electronic gadgets and the time spent using them in the digital age.

D) The aunt expects obedience from the children, but does not get it.

The situational irony in the passage is that the aunt and the children are both trying to get a response from the bachelor, but he remains silent. The correct option is D.

The aunt is trying to get him to listen to her story, while the children are trying to get him to answer their questions. However, the bachelor refuses to engage with either of them.

This is ironic because the aunt is the one who is supposed to be in charge of the children, and she is the one who is expected to be obeyed. However, the children are the ones who are getting their way, while the aunt is being ignored. This reversal of expectations is what creates the situational irony.

The situational irony also highlights the different personalities of the three characters. The aunt is the authoritarian figure who is trying to control the situation.
