Answer: Tom was compensated for his loss of a tooth by finding an entirely new way to spit.
But all trials bring their compensations. As Tom wended to school after breakfast, he was the envy of every boy he met because the gap in his upper row of teeth enabled him to expectorate in a new and admirable way.
We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep. I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor. It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts. Every man is tasked to make his life, even in its details, worthy of the contemplation of his most elevated and critical hour. If we refused, or rather used up, such paltry information as we get, the oracles would distinctly inform us how this might be done.
(2) I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion. For most men, it appears to me, are in a strange uncertainty about it, whether it is of the devil or of God, and have somewhat hastily concluded that it is the chief end of man here to "glorify God and enjoy him forever."
(3) Still we live meanly, like ants; though the fable tells us that we were long ago changed into men; like pygmies we fight with cranes;1 it is error upon error, and clout upon clout, and our best virtue has for its occasion a superfluous and evitable wretchedness. Our life is frittered away by detail. An honest man has hardly need to count more than his ten fingers, or in extreme cases he may add his ten toes, and lump the rest. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail. In the midst of this chopping sea of civilized life, such are the clouds and storms and quicksands and thousand-and-one items to be allowed for, that a man has to live, if he would not founder and go to the bottom and not make his port at all, by dead reckoning, and he must be a great calculator indeed who succeeds. Simplify, simplify. Instead of three meals a day, if it be necessary eat but one; instead of a hundred dishes, five; and reduce other things in proportion. . . .
(from Walden; or, Life in the Woods by Henry David Thoreau)

What has the power to heal? Explain. Identify ways people deal with emotional pain and how they overcome this intense emotion.
Answer:
Explanation:
There's a clear connection between the way your brain thinks and the way your body feels. Just like you can use your body to reduce your psychological distress, you can also use your mind to improve your body.
Simply changing the way you think and taking charge of what occupies your mind, can improve your physical health and well-being. While positive thinking won't cure everything, a healthy mindset is a key component to a healthy bodyAnd they lead to emotion-driven behavior such as avoidance, withdrawal, aggression, etc, which can perpetuate the cycle of emotional pain.
Changing your experience with overwhelming emotions starts with changing your behaviors – how you think and how you act and letting go of some old coping mechanisms that no longer work.
The red carpet is for sale
The red carpet is a noun phrase
Or noun Claus
Or adjective phrase
Or adverb clause
Answer:
noun phrase
Explanation:
A noun phrase consists of a group of words with a modifier and a noun. They most times form the headings of sentences. Since a noun can be replaced with a pronoun, their would be no much difference if the noun phrase was replaced with a pronoun. In the sentence above,
'the', modifies 'red carpet'. 'Carpet' is the noun. The noun phrase can be replaced with a pronoun. This gives the sentence, 'It is for sale.'Achieve3000: Are fossil Fuels running out of gas ?

Madame Forestier never comes to visit her.
Her husband is cruel to her.
She feels as if she deserves more than she has.
She lives in total poverty and debt.
Answer:
She feels as if she deserves more than she has.
Explanation:
Mathilde was never content with what she had. She was married to Mr. Loisel, a man who worked at the Department of Education, and who could afford the basic things of life for her. However, she was not satisfied with this, but always dreamt of living a luxurious life and owning expensive jewelry.
She learned a hard lesson after she misplaced a jewelry owned by Madame Forestier. She replaced it with the real and expensive type but was shocked to learn ten years later, that that was only a costume.

This is referring to poem "Hanging Fire" by Audre Lorde
Answer:
The title of the poem suggests that the speaker is unable to be delayed by her own life.
Explanation:
In the poem we can see a 14 year old girl who feels stuck behind and delayed by her own life, we can see that she has a lot of anxiety about her future and her present and this is all highlighted by the loneliness and isolation that she lives with, even within the family itself. The title of the poem shows that the girl is existing, but she does not feel that her life is advancing and progressing.

Story:
Jim at Bat
from Jim the Boy
by Tony Earley
1 A summer pasture at twilight:
2 The boy cannot hit the baseball to his satisfaction. Though he makes contact almost every time he swings the bat, he does not strike the mighty blow he sees in his mind. The ball does not leap scalded into the sky, but hops into the tall grass as if startled by a noise; it buzzes mildly, a dying beetle tied to a piece of thread, and rolls to a disappointing stop.
3 Uncle Zeno pitches. He tracks the ball into the grass every time the boy hits it, and retrieves it without complaint from each new hiding place. He blames himself for the boy’s lack of success. The bat is simply too heavy. He knew this for fact when he bought it; he had not wanted to buy a new bat every time the boy grew an inch. He silently chides himself for being cheap.
4 Uncle Coran and Uncle Al man the field at improbably optimistic distances behind their brother. Their faces are indistinct in the coming darkness, their forms identical except that Uncle Coran wears a baseball glove on his left hand, while Uncle Al, who is left-handed, wears one on the right. They shout encouragement each time the boy swings the bat. They pound their fists into their gloves, though only for their nephew’s benefit; their bodies no longer believe the ball will ever make it out to their place in the field. They do not creep closer because it would make the boy feel bad.
5 All three of the uncles wear the small, pocketless, old-fashioned baseball gloves they have had since they were boys. Uncle Al’s mitt was made for a right-handed fielder, but he has worn it on the wrong hand for so long that he no longer notices that it doesn’t fit. Each uncle would still gladly play a game of baseball, should anyone ask, although no one has asked for years. They keep their tiny, relic gloves properly oiled, however, as if such invitations were not only commonplace, but imminent.
6 The boy studies Uncle Zeno until Uncle Zeno’s face seems to light up from the inside, weakly, like a moon seen through clouds. It changes into a hundred unfamiliar faces, twists into a hundred strange smiles, until the boy blinks hard and wills his eyes to see only what is there.
7 “Okay, Doc,” Uncle Zeno says. “Keep your eye on the ball. Here it comes.”
8 The baseball in Uncle Zeno’s hand is almost invisible, a piece of smoke, a shadow. The woods on the far side of the pasture are already dark as sleep; the river twists through them by memory. Uncle Zeno tosses the ball gently toward the boy, who does not see it until its arc carries it above the black line of trees, where it hangs for a moment like an eclipse in the faintly glowing sky. The boy is arm-weary; he swings as hard as he is able. The bat and ball collide weakly. The ball drops to the ground at the boy’s feet. It lies there stunned, quivering, containing flight beneath its smooth skin. The boy switches the bat into his left hand, picks up the ball with his right, and throws it back to Uncle Zeno.
9 “I hit it just about every time,” the boy says.
10 “Batter, batter, batter, batter,” Uncle Al chirps in the field.
11 “Say, whatta-say, whatta-say, whatta-say,” chants Uncle Coran in the ancient singsong of ballplayers. The uncles are singing to the boy. He has never heard anything so beautiful. He does not want it to stop.
12 “Okay, Doc,” says Uncle Zeno. “One more. Now watch.”

Tony Earley's 2000 book, Jim the Boy, chronicles a year in the life of a ten-year-old boy who lives with his mother and three uncles in a house in 1934.
The story's summary is?After failing to teach his child how to strike the ball, Jim is visited by Andy's future ghost in an attempt to show him how his choices affect Kyle's future. After failing to teach his child how to strike the ball, Jim is visited by Andy's future ghost in an attempt to show him how his choices affect Kyle's future.
The "climax" of the final scene, in which Jim visits his grandfather for the first and last time, is the same. The elderly man is in poor health, but the two females who live with him refuse to let Jim and his uncles visit him. They do, however, allow him to look at him through the man's bedroom window.
Uncle Coran and Uncle Al play outfield in "Jim at Bat," while Uncle Zeno pitches for Jim. Jim imagines himself hitting the ball hard and far in a single motion. Instead, he continues to strike out on every pitch, barely moving the ball. Uncle Zeno keeps bringing the ball back without complaint.

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
by William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd.
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze,
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be happy,
In such a jocund company
gazed-and gazed-but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude:
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
Answer:
nature can bring happiness.

Read the excerpt from chapter 4 of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Presently her eye wandered to the other, and she was surprised to recognise in him a certain Mr. Hyde, who had once visited her master and for whom she had conceived a dislike. He had in his hand a heavy cane, with which he was trifling; but he answered never a word, and seemed to listen with an ill-contained impatience. And then all of a sudden he broke out in a great flame of anger, stamping with his foot, brandishing the cane, and carrying on (as the maid described it) like a madman. The old gentleman took a step back, with the air of one very much surprised and a trifle hurt; and at that Mr. Hyde broke out of all bounds and clubbed him to the earth. And next moment, with ape-like fury, he was trampling his victim under foot and hailing down a storm of blows, under which the bones were audibly shattered and the body jumped upon the roadway.

After much analysis of the situation in which we Americans are living, I decided to recognize myself as a patriot and a supporter of the independence movements that should happen as soon as possible for the good of our people.
I believe that the lack of American representation in the British parliament is something very serious and dangerous for us, because it leaves us in an extremely fragile situation and totally in the hands of England, who acts with hypocrisy and in favor of themselves. The lack of representation was maintained as a way to keep us exploited in any way the British want.
Furthermore, the absurd collection of taxes has diminished the economic condition of our territory, since we have to pay exorbitant amounts to finance the wars that England cowardly gets involved in.
We cannot endure this without doing anything, our lands are rich and we are a strong people, we deserve to own ourselves and get rid of this abusive dependency relationship with England.
