“Autumntime” Which statement best describes how the narrator and his parents interact over the course of the story? Both parents nurture the narrator's curiosity about nature and seem to share similar feelings toward what they learn about the tree B. Despite an early shared interest in the tree, the parents react less strongly than the narrator to what they learn about the tree. While the mother instills an interest in nature in her son, the father is resistant to learning more about the natural world . D. The mother is more interested in the history of the O'Brien house , while the father and narrator are more interested in the tree

Answer:

B. Despite an early shared interest in the tree, the parents react less strongly than the narrator to what they learn about the tree.

Explanation:

Anthony Lentini's short story "Autumntime" revolves around the story of a young protagonist and his parents' visit to a 'natural site', where a real tree grows and had survived. The plot is set in a futuristic world where nothing natural thrives and everything is more technological than natural.

The unnamed narrator and his parents had gone on a family trip to Boston to see the only surviving and a thriving tree that had secretly survived the onslaught of scientific development. The narrator revealed he had secretly pocketed "an acorn" from the tree they visited, and that would be the reminder of his trip to see the living, natural tree. And when he learned of the plan to 'remove' the tree in the next year, he seemed distraught and deeply affected, though that couldn't be said of his parents. Maybe the parents had known this was coming or are just accustomed to the change, though it was a new thing for the boy.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Edgar Allan Poe uses symbolism in many of his poems and short stories to create two levels of understanding—a literal understanding and a deeper, figurative understanding. Identify a symbol in "The Raven" and "The Masque of the Red Death." Explain what the symbol's hidden meaning is and what effect the symbol has on the work overall.

Read the excerpt below from Chris Jacobs' narrative called Everlasting. As you read, think about how Jacobs creates an effective anecdote.
The car ride would have been long for a grown-up. For a first-grader, it was eternity. There were no iPads or even Game Boys back then to hold my focus; all I had was my red Thundercats lunchbox, the occasional emerald highway sign to mark our progress, and a tongue that churned out Whys like a Ford factory line.

Why do we have to get up when it's still nighttime? Why am I going to a new school? Why does it have to be so far?

Over the course of the first few weeks—once my mom caught on that these questions were actually complaints, her responses lost some of their patience. Though she handled the daily drives with grace, the bluish bags forming under her eyes told a different story: one about her years spent in poorly-funded, inner-city schools, and the doors that would close on her because of them. But I didn't get to hear that story till years later. For now, I just settled into a frustrated six-year-old silence, my attention flitting to the many switches and buttons in her aging '76 Dodge Aspen.

On one morning's ride, in an attempt to run defense on my mischief, Mom held up my lunchbox.

"Listen," she hushed, giving it three good shakes.

I gasped, my body snapping to attention. Two shakes would have been enough for me to recognize that sound—a deep, delicious clack of candy marbles that could only be—yes, yes, they were—

"Gobstoppers!!" I tore the lunchbox from her hands, pouring its contents onto my lap. "A whole box?!" I squealed.

How is this an effective beginning to the story?

It tells the main anecdote of the story.
It explains why the author is going to a new school.
It gives the entire background of the author’s childhood.
It sets up the importance of Gobstoppers in the story.

A poetic form is a type of poem that has a specific structure or set of rules, including meter, rhyme scheme, length and subject matter. Two poetic forms are limericks and haikus.

The origin of the limerick is unknown, but these humorous poems became popular in England in the 19th century, when Edward Lear’s A Book of Nonsense was printed. Limericks have five lines that rhyme AABBA, and they’re sometimes rude or vulgar to the point of obscenity.

Haikus are another type of short poem, containing only three lines and 17 syllables. They are traditional to Japan and don’t have a specific rhyme scheme or meter. Haikus are usually observations about nature or the seasons.


According to the passage, what is one major difference between haikus and limericks?
A. The ways in which they rhyme
B.The number fo verbs used in them
C. The kinds of people who read them

Walking is not the most exciting form of exercise a person can take on for fitness. Yet it is low impact and requires no fancy equipment. That makes walking a simple activity for those new to exercise. Walking is less likely than other exercises to cause injury to leg tendons and muscles. All it requires is a good pair of sneakers-no cables, stylish outfits, or weights required. Of course, a person could increase the benefit of a workout by adding weights or speed walking.

How does the third sentence ("That makes walking...") support the main idea of the paragraph?

A lt points out that walking is a good introduction to exercise for beginners.

B It says that walking is too easy for people who have experience with exercise.

C It points out that beginning exercisers may not like walking because it is too easy.

D It says that walking is less costly than other activities because it needs no equipment.​
