The ways in which young people desire to fit in, are affected by peer-pressure, playing it safe or taking chances are explored in the short story “The Most Precious Substance on Earth” by Shashi Bhat. How do these topics reflect in current society and how do they impact the youth of today? In your response, remember to include one (1) piece of evidence from the text versus a current example (your own personal connection).

Answers

Answer 1

The most precious substance on Earth illustrates the issue of peer pressure.

How to illustrate the information?

The most precious substance on Earth tells stories of Nina’s life from the ‘90s to the present day when she returns to the classroom as a high school teacher with a haunting secret and discovers that the past is never far behind her.

Peer pressure is the direct or indirect influence on peers, that is the members of social groups with similar interests, experiences, or social statuses.

These topics reflect in current society and impact the youth of today as they show that the members of a peer group are more likely to influence a person's beliefs, values, and behavior

The causes of peer pressure are the need to fit in, self-esteem, fear of rejection, and the need to feel safety and security from peers.

What's an independent possessive

Answers

Answer:

An independent possessive does not precede a noun, as in "It is my pencil", but stands alone: "It is mine". The independent possessive is only used when the possessor is a person.

Explanation:

Answer:

An independent possessive is an independent possessive that does not precede a noun, as in "It is my pencil", but stands alone: "It is mine". The independent possessive is only used when a possessor is a person.

Explanation:

Mine, ours, yours, his, hers and theirs are the independent possessive pronouns. They are not immediately followed by a noun. You can think of them this way: they are independent because they don't need a noun after them.

Possessive pronouns show that something belongs to someone. The possessive pronouns are my, our, your, his, her, its, and their. There's also an “independent” form of each of these pronouns: mine, ours, yours, his, hers, its, and theirs. Possessive pronouns are never spelled with apostrophes.

Examples:

My phone is dead. Pass me yours.

Did you know that Labrador is mine?

The house on the corner is theirs.

Do you notice that all of the possessive nouns are at the end? That means it is an independent possessive.

2 injured in vehicle collision at Ram Maruti Road.
Anusha Banerjee
Thane, 10th June 2014
Two men were injured on Ram Maruti Road yesterday when a motorist failed to see an oncoming car. Rakesh Sharma (34) didn’t notice the Maruti Zen car driven by Sumant Dasgupta (27) because he was distracted by a noisy wedding procession on the road. Both the men are residents of Vrindavan society and were immediately taken to Dr. Salvi’s Hospital at Ram Maruti Road, Thane. Eyewitnesses say that even though Dasgupta tried to avert the situation by applying breaks, it didn’t help. Though he has escaped with minor abrasions, Sharma had to bear the full brunt of the impact. He has a broken nose and an injured shin bone. Both the men are recuperating at the hospital.

Write a short definition for the prediction step of previewing.​

Answers

Answer:

Previewing the text to get an overview

Previewing a text means that you get an idea of what it is about without actually reading the main body of the text.

2. Skimming

Skimming involves running your eye very quickly over large chunks of text. It is different from previewing because skimming involves the paragraph text. Skimming allows you to pick up some of the main ideas without paying attention to detail. It is a fast process. A single chapter should take only a few minutes.

3. Scanning

Scanning is sweeping your eyes (like radar) over part of a text to find specific pieces of information.

4. Intensive reading

Intensive reading is detailed, focused, ‘study’ reading of those important parts, pages or chapters.

This is 4 general steps, and will get you a 100%.

Explanation:

Predicting means that you take all of the clues you’ve collected, combine them with your prior knowledge about the topic, and make an educated guess about what the text will say.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

I have used all the words and phrases given in the instructions. Feel free to change anything:

Two long time friends, Raj and Rohit, decided to join a camp and experience some time away from civilization, noisy cities, and pollution. They were excited about the idea of being immersed in nature, counting on their survival skills and instincts. One morning, they went out together to explore the surroundings and ended up getting lost. Checking their bags, they found no compasses or anything they could use to find their way back. The more they walked, the more they felt stranded. Away from the camp, their cries and shouts could not be heard by anyone, except for wild animals. And, indeed, Raj and Rohit soon heard a “thump thump” sound approaching. Their hearts beating fast, they watched as a large elephant came closer and closer. The animal trumpeted angrily, as if it was distressed by their presence and wanted to scare them away. The two friends were unable to move, afraid the elephant would chase them in case they tried to run away. As the elephant came towards them, Raj suddenly remembered Rohit had brought a balloon in his bag. Raj recalled asking his friend why he had brought such a useless item along, but now he realized the balloon could actually save them. He asked Rohit for the balloon and immediately started blowing. Soon, he had a big balloon, its rubber as thin as paper, ready to pop. Raj hit it hard with his hand – “bang” – and the loud noise scared the angry animal. The elephant turned away, and Raj and Rohit left out a breath of relief. Not long afterwards, some people from the camp found and saved them, taking them back rapidly.

Answers

Hello. You did not inform the essay to which these questions refer, which makes it impossible for them to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

If the author is presenting a point in an essay it is because he is positioning himself favorably in relation to the subject addressed in the essay. This means that the author's view on this subject is positive and that he will use arguments and evidence to justify that view.

The counterpoint, on the other hand, seeks to debate and position itself against the point raised by the author. In this case, the author shows a negative view, where he presents arguments and evidence that seek to devalue the point.

Please help me find the main idea my teacher about to call on me and i am pi ss A week after the murders, police raided Spahn Ranch, but not because of those heinous crimes. Manson and most of the family were arrested instead for stealing cars. But they were released on a technicality and fled to Death Valley. There, they were arrested again in multiple waves of police raids between Oct. 10 and 12, 1969. In addition to a series of thefts and generally terrorizing the locals, Manson had set fire to some heavy equipment owned by Death Valley National Monument rangers, which was what really brought the cops down on the family [source: Sanders].

Answers

Answer:

They may have been able to avoid being arrested longer if they hadn't committed other crimes, such as stolen cars and setting fire to some heavy equipment.  

Explanation:

I think the main idea is that the police were very close to Manson and the family, they were even in jail, but the police hadn't realized they committed the crimes.  It seems the family then became a little too confident, leading to the police arresting them for the crimes.
