Answer 1

Read the passage and then answer the question below.

"Sonnet 29", William Shakespeare

When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

What is the theme of this sonnet?

Being loved can change a person's perspective.

Being in love often makes people unhappy.

The afterlife is more desirable than being in love.

People do disgraceful things when they are in love.

Read the following passages and answer the question below.

From "The Tell Tale Heart," by Edgar Allan Poe

No doubt I now grew very pale;—but I talked more fluently, and with a heightened voice. Yet the sound increased—and what could I do? It was a low, dull, quick sound—much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton. I gasped for breath—and yet the officers heard it not. I talked more quickly—more vehemently; but the noise steadily increased. I arose and argued about trifles, in a high key and with violent gesticulations; but the noise steadily increased. Why would they not be gone? I paced the floor to and fro with heavy strides, as if excited to fury by the observations of the men—but the noise steadily increased. Oh God! what could I do?

From Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus, by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

She left me, and I continued some time walking up and down the passages of the house, and inspecting every corner that might afford a retreat to my adversary. But I discovered no trace of him, and was beginning to conjecture that some fortunate chance had intervened to prevent the execution of his menaces, when suddenly I heard a shrill and dreadful scream. It came from the room into which Elizabeth had retired. As I heard it, the whole truth rushed into my mind, my arms dropped, the motion of every muscle and fibre was suspended; I could feel the blood trickling in my veins and tingling in the extremities of my limbs. This state lasted but for an instant; the scream was repeated, and I rushed into the room.

What element is part of the theme in both of these passages?

Betrayal

Fear

Power

Transformation

Answer 15

What about


Deborah and Willie are best friends, but they couldn't be more different. Possibly the most interesting difference is that Deborah loves sports, but Willie can't stand them. Deborah participates in several after-school activities, including track and tennis, while Willie works on the school literary magazine. When they spend time together, Deborah and Willie can never decide what movies to watch or which video games to play. Deborah wants to watch films about football or play basketball games on the console, but Willie enjoys horror films and games about war. Even though Deborah and Willie couldn't be more different, they somehow manage to stay the best of friends!

Exercise Time by Rachael Lum

The time when we exercise are one of the most important parts of the day. It's when the body builds muscles and energy to prepare for the action of a long day. Many of us exercise less so that we can get more work done or have more fun with our days. Healthy exercise habits are a crucial part of a healthy lifestyle.

Aside from the trouble that can come from poor exercise habits, such as being tired or having trouble focusing, there are other health problems to worry about. Poor exercise habits have been shown to lead to heart disease and high blood pressure, along with other conditions. People who do not get enough exercise are also more likely to have weight problems. Your mood can be affected by your exercise, to.

It is easy to see the important of a good exercise routine. Make sure you get moving, because without it, you might catch an unwanted cold or develop an unwanted medical condition.

What does it mean to go hungry? It is the daily reality that one does not have access to enough food to live a healthy life. It means not being certain of when or what one will eat. It means missing a meal every day or even going without food for days. Hunger causes all sorts of problems. It weakens the body and causes those who regularly go without food to become sick more easily. Research indicates that child hunger poses additional dangers. ("The Links Between Nutrition and Cognitive Development of Children"). The tragedy behind these statistics is that hunger in America is entirely preventable.
