“Broken Chain”

Alfonso sat on the porch trying to push his crooked teeth to where he thought they belonged. He hated the way he looked. Last week he did fifty sit-ups a day, thinking that he would burn those already apparent ripples on his stomach to even deeper ripples, dark ones, so when he went swimming at the canal next summer, girls in cut-offs would notice. And the guys would think he was tough, someone who could take a punch and give it back.

“Fish Cheeks”

When I found out that my parents had invited the minister’s family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners? What terrible disappointment would he feel upon seeing not a roasted turkey and sweet potatoes but Chinese food?
How do both the essay and short story convey the theme that people often care about what others think of them?
A. Alfonso doesn’t like the way he looks, and Amy is embarrassed by her family’s traditions.
B. Alfonso wants others to notice him, and Amy is worried about what Robert will think.
C. Alfonso isn’t confident in himself, and Amy constantly questions her family’s ways.
D. Alfonso must worry about what he looks like during the summer, and Amy has to deal with the holidays.

What do you think is more important, talent or effort? Explain why.

Answers

Answer:

Effort

Explanation:

Effort is more important then talent because effort allows us to discover how capable we really are of something, much more capable than we thought we were. We learn new skills and abilities when we take the time to put in consistent effort. Every new success that we achieve through our efforts increases our confidence in ourselves and our abilities. Effort keeps us focused on success.

Answer:

Effort

Explanation:

I choose effort because talents are always viewed over the effort that is put into something. There are many examples to this view. For one; in a play or musical, the props and characters have so much effort put into them that people overlook that and mainly focus on the talent of the actor. That not only takes out display the display of the backstage workers, but also gives the actor(s) more recognition over the backstage. This isn’t to say that actors are bad, it’s just saying that the audience doesn’t put enough focus on the efforts, but more so on the talent of something else that may be a little less important than everything else.

How does the author of the poem integrate personification and metaphors to communicate her message?

Answers

Metaphors are used almost as much as personification in this passage, as the entire second stanza compares the mirror to a lake, but even before that metaphors are distinctly present. The mirror calls itself “the eye of a little god,” by that point in the poem, Plath has made sure that it’s clear that the mirror is distinguished as completely objective, “unmisted by love or dislike” and “not cruel, only truthful.”

Answer:

It is not very long, not very loud and not in 3-D. It has no attention-grabbing celebrity voice work, and the only pop-cultural allusions it makes are to other stories and films about Pooh and his friends. Which is not to say that the movie is obnoxiously self-referential, but rather that it is comfortable with itself and confident in its ability to amuse and beguile young viewers.

The partial Americanization of Winnie the Pooh, starting in the 1960s, was one of Walt Disney’s most brazen and successful acts of appropriation. Public-domain fairy tale princesses like Snow White and Cinderella may have been easier to conquer than A. A. Milne’s beloved bear of very little brain, and the first “Pooh” featurettes—collected in “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh”—triumphed by respecting both the look and the sensibility of the literary source. Disney’s animated landscapes evoked E. H. Shepard’s lovely illustrations with such care that the book seemed to be coming to life on screen.

The new Winnie the Pooh, directed by Stephen J. Anderson and Don Hall, makes similarly witty use of typography, sending its characters scrambling over lines of type, which serve as obstacles, means of rescue and invitations to surreal jokes that are both sophisticated and accessible to newly literate members of the audience. Like Milne’s books, the movie is partly an initiation into the delightful errancies of language, which fashions sense and nonsense out of the same materials.

The story partly turns on the difficulties of English spelling and reading comprehension. Christopher Robin leaves a note that is wildly misconstrued by his stuffed-animal companions, who conjure monsters out of the fog of their own confusion.

They also are in search of Eeyore’s tail, and Pooh himself, true to form, is on a perpetual quest for honey. Much silliness ensues, a few lessons are broached, and the characters now and then burst into song. These tunes are passable, but the real musical treats come early and late, via the vocals of Zooey Deschanel. The vocal performances are lively without being showy—Craig Ferguson is a particularly fine Owl—and the film as a whole is decidedly modest, seeking not to reboot or update the Hundred Acre Wood, but rather to brighten it up a bit and get it back to how it used to be.

So it is good to see Pooh again, along with Rabbit, Owl and Eeyore (my own Milnean avatar)—and to discover a new path back into the old, classic story. Winnie the Pooh may not be a movie that grown-ups seek out on their own, but it may make some of them jealous of the 4-year-olds who are making the noble bear’s acquaintance for the first time.

PARAGRAPH ANSWER: How is "The Fall of the House of Usher" a classic
Gothic Tale? What elements does Poe use to add to the suspense?
Remember, a Gothic Tale includes the following elements: 1. Set in a
haunted castle or house. 2. A damsel (girl) in distress. 3. An atmosphere
of mystery and suspense. 4. There is a ghost or monster. 5. The weather
is always awful. 6. Dreaming/nightmares. 7. Burdened male protagonist
(main character) *

Answers

Answer: "The Fall of the House of Usher" is a classic Gothic Tale since Edgar Allan Poe includes all of the 7 main elements.

Explanation: What makes the story a genuine gothic story is that it fulfills all the important elements, such as the hunted house (Usher's mansion), the damsel in distress (Usher's sister coming as a suffering soul from being buried alive), an atmosphere of mystery and suspense, (the narrator witnessing the strange behaviors of his childhood friend and the noises heard), a monster (the gothic fate that the characters possess), the awful weather (decaying trees and dark day), nightmares (Usher's paranoic attitude), and burdened male protagonist (the scared narrator).

We usually do not think of animals talking, but animals do make sounds. Some fish can make sounds by grinding together the bony parts of their throats. Crickets rub their rough wings together. The chirping of a bird is made when it forces air through its throat. Birds can also make drumming sounds with their feathers and feet. The rattle of a rattlesnake and the slap of a beaver's tail are also examples of the ways animals communicate. 3
