Proofread my essay
Can someone please proofread my essay for 100 points? The prompt is "Were the Founding Fathers justified in rebelling against the British government and declaring independence?"
Essay:
The founding fathers were justified for rebelling against the British government, with the taxes and how the British were handling the colonies, they were better off forming their government and keeping trade open with the motherland.
For example, the stamp act of 1765 where the colonist was taxed to pay for the seven-year war the British fought for. The stamp act was an act that directly taxed the British on paper products like newspapers, almanacs, pamphlets, broadsides, legal documents, dice, and playing cards. The reason for this act was to pay for the seven-year war that the British fought for. Another example is the tea act of 1773. The colonists were forced to only purchase tea from the British East Indian Company, killing off foreign competitors that also traded tea with the colonists. They were also heavily taxed if they purchased from other companies.
Although the British taxed the colonists for a war that only benefitted the colonists. The problem was that the colonists had no say in the matter. "No Taxation Without Representation" was born here. While the taxes were fair, the colonists had no say, and that was the problem.
In conclusion, the founding fathers had the right to rebel against the British Government because the role of a government is defending those natural rights and making it possible for them to be accomplished. The British government failed to do so. Therefore, the people had the right to rebel against this government and form a new one that defends these rights.
Answer:
I love your essay it's really well written! Maybe add a get more sentences to support your idea so you don't get points off. I don't know if this is how it works in your school but for my classes if I don't 5-6 sentences in each paragraph I get points take. off
Answer:
In your first paragraph, to make it longer, say something like; "Yes, The Founding Fathers were justified in the rebelling against the British government. This was justifiable because...." and don't just say "with the taxes", go a little more in detail about what that means because it's kind of confusing. Maybe just re word it a little. say "they were better off forming their OWN government, while also keeping trade and the exchange of good's open with the motherland."
In your second paragraph, I would word the first sentence differently, say something like "first of all, the British passed the Samp Act, which forced colonists to pay for a war, that was being fought by the British" and after that, your reasoning and explanation is great! when you say "the reason for this act was to pay for the seven- year war that British fought for" I would delete that because you already said that in the beginning of your paragraph. And when you go on to say "another example" and start talking about the tea act, I would make that another paragraph, just because it's a different subject.
After "another example WAS (not is but was since this happened in the past) The tea act of 1773, say the colonist were forced and add in "by the British" , "to only purchase tea, from company's in their own land. I really like how you say it "killed off", that was a good word choice.
In your third paragraph, don't exactly say "taxed the colonists for a war that only benefitted the colonists" because you already said that, and when you restate an idea, it's in the final paragraph "say something like "Although if it wasn't already enough, for the British to practically torture the colonists with unfairly high taxes, the colonists had no say in the matter, they we're forced to pretty much just shut up and do as their told." and the rest is good but than you say the taxes *WERE fair, I think you meant, *WERE NOT fair. and at the end, don't say "and that was the problem" because you just said that same thing and you don't want your writing to sound repetitive.
In your final paragraph, don't say "Therefore, the people had the right to rebel against this government and form a new one that defends these rights". Because you just said that exact same thing in the previous sentence, maybe try and make it about the reader. say something like "so think about it, if you were getting treated this poorly by a country denying your basic rights, wouldn't you rebel?
Explanation:
I think your writing is great! I hope you don't take this as me being mean! I love doing things like this and I hope you get the best grade possible! good luck :)
Which sentence is an example of direct characterization?
Answer:
the 3rd one is write
Explanation:
by using arrogant in the sentence it is DIRECTLY describing him
Answer:

Therefore the third answer is the only example of characterization.
List two details from the article that support the argument for requiring one hundred hours of community service to graduate high school.
List two details from the article that support the argument for requiring one hundred hours of community service to graduate high school.
Detail 1.
Today, 67.9 percent of teenagers are episodic volunteers.
This detail shows how volunteers want to specifically help, because episodic volunteers are more interested in specific actions, they want to see a result in short term tasks and that is what attracts them more. This particular way of volunteering is more appealing for students at that age, because they are full of energy and eager to accomplish these types of objectives.
Detail 2
Teenage volunteers are significantly more likely to serve with educational or youth service organizations today (34.7% in 2005 vs. 26.8% in 1989).
This detail from the article supports this argument because it illustrates in what places students are more likely to volunteer. Those places in which students feel more active because they think they have more opportunities to see outcomes for immediate actions.

The Tower
Malcolm had been a prisoner in the tower for longer than he could remember—so long, in fact, he couldn't even remember why he was there. He never saw his captors or heard them speak. The only contact he had with them was a slot at the bottom of one wall through which a tray of food was slid twice a day. From time to time, Malcolm would bend down, put his mouth near the slot, and call out to someone, anyone. He would have welcomed hearing even mean or cruel words in response to his voice, but there was never a sound. Malcolm had thought about escaping this lonely existence. There was one small window in the room, and Malcolm suspected he could just squeeze through the bars if he wiggled enough. The ground was too far below, though, for him to survive a jump, so in his little prison he stayed. 11From time to time, Malcolm would see mice scampering along the edges of his cell. At first they all looked the same, but over time he could tell them apart and knew there were four in all. He gave each one a name: Stanton, Crispin, Roderick, and Emil. He would talk to them, and often, he felt they would talk back. Malcolm sometimes had long, drawn-out conversations and even heated debates with the mice. “I hear where you're coming from, Emil,” he would say, “but Stanton has also made some very good points.” After a while, the four mice would wake him in the morning, eagerly rubbing their whiskers against his cheek, squeaking with delight when he opened his eyes. Just knowing they liked him brought joy to his otherwise dreary existence. Years passed, and Malcolm's head began balding. His beard, however, grew and grew until it was long enough to drag behind him. One day, as he was thinking of stories he could tell the mice, he remembered the story of Rapunzel and how she had used her hair as a rope. He immediately tied the tip of his beard to one of the window bars. He tucked Stanton, Crispin, Roderick and Emil into his pockets. Because he'd grown so thin, it wasn't hard to squeeze between the bars of the window. “We're off to see the world,” he whispered to the mice and, clinging to his own long whiskers, he began to slowly let himself down to the ground below. In the story, “The Tower,” the mice represent:
A being trapped.

C beauty.
D animals.

The Reefs By Marcella Morris
She clutched her lab work to her side walking briskly towards school. The snow fell in typical New York flurries and the ground was still icy from last night’s freeze. Careful not to slip, she climbed the steps and crossed the campus towards the science building.
“What am I doing?” she murmured. Sophie’s worse habit was talking to herself in public. “I have been warned.”
“You are just a high school kid, Sophie,” they warned. “What makes you think you are capable of solving this crucial environmental issue? Stop wasting your time.” The professors would not give her laboratory time to complete research nor would they share their expertise with her.
But, she could not stop.
After that snorkeling trip she took with her aunt to the coral reefs, she felt that something had shifted inside her. The snorkeling guide made one fact very clear- these colonies of tiny organisms would not last. In fact, we’d be lucky if they lasted 5 more years. She cared about the safety of these coral reefs more than she has cared about anything for a long, long time. She had to do something for the fragile, endangered habitat with its fish, mollusks, worms, crustaceans and many more.
So, she used her money to create a lab at her aunt’s house. She worked tirelessly—endlessly—sleeping only when she had to.
“It’s what mom and dad would have done,” she thought.
Her best friend Sam, would hang out with her everyday—eating pizza, fries, and whatever else he could get his hands on, keeping her company with his humor while Sophie worked on her experiments. And now, she has a biological solution in her hands.
She hesitated at the door to the labs. Nervously, she shifted her lab report from one hand to the other.
“I know that have an innovative approach to solving the coral reef issue and I know I can help,” she said to no one.
The image of being ridiculed by these professors, delayed her entry. She stood outside the door, wanting to run back- wanting to hide- glued to the icy spot.
“Hey, Sophie!” She turned at the unexpected sound of Sam’s voice.
“I’ve been… trying to catch up with you,” he panted- out of breath. “Let’s go in and… show them… what you’ve got.”
Sophie tilted her head, smiled at Sam and opened the door. She walked confidently to the front, laid out her research on the podium and began her presentation. When her presentation ended, it was to the enthusiastic sound of the scientists’ applause.

MINI ESSAY
Explain the following statement: "No clapping is possible without two hands to do it, and no quarrel without two persons to make it." What do you think Gandhi's purpose is in using these images?
Answer:
I think the statement "No clapping is possible without two hands to do it, and no quarrel without two persons to make it" is intended to mean that Gandhi and his people would rather have only one hand rather than clap for the government and their injustice towards the people. It also means that those same people are refusing to fight with the government so they will take themselves out of the fight by choosing a more passive method. I think Gandhi's purpose in using these images is to provide a more illustrated idea as to how he and his people will be resisting; they will be resisting injustice by only hurting themselves instead of the whole country.

Use the introductory paragraph to answer the question.
Did you know that if a car is hit with an entire carton of eggs, the cost of repainting it could be as much as $15,000? Egging cars is a popular, age-old prank, but it should not be taken lightly. If your car was hit with an egg last night during the Halloween festivities, wash it off immediately. And parents, if your children were among these pranksters, please urge them to stop. It is a little-known fact that all three parts of an egg can damage a car: the shells can scratch the paint; the egg yolk is acidic, so it can eat through the clear coat of paint and damage the base coat; and the egg whites turn into a glue-like substance after a while, making them nearly impossible to remove. There are three useful strategies for removing eggs from your car, but they will work only if you clean your car right away.
What is the tone of the paragraph?
A) cautionary and urgent
B) amused and lighthearted
C) outraged and harsh
D) friendly and encouraging
Answer:
The correct option is A) Cautionary and Urgent
Explanation:
Summarily, the passage is simply saying, if ones car is hit with eggs, it's best to wash it off immediately or risk re-doing the paint.
The sentences which highlight caution to the reader are:
The first sentence tried to quantify the amount of damage. The reader is able to evaluate the cost of damage eggs can do to a car;The fourth and fifth sentences: urges parents not to encourage egg smashing on cars and goes on to highlight possible damages that can result from the same.The keywords/phrases which indicate urgency are:
Line 3: wash it off immediatelyLine 4: urge them to stopLast line: ...clean your car right awayCheers
