Answer:

The old house creaked and groaned like a ship lost at sea. The paint on the walls was peeling like a sunburnt tourist, revealing the decaying wood underneath. The furniture was like ghosts, remnants of a past life that still haunted the empty rooms. As I walked through the abandoned halls, I felt like a trespasser in a forgotten world, tiptoeing through a graveyard of memories. The memories were like cobwebs, clinging to every surface and obscuring the present. The old house was a time capsule, frozen in time like a photograph, a relic of a bygone era.

Read the following excerpt from President John F. Kennedy's 1963 Inaugural Address. Then, respond to the question that follows.

So let us begin anew—remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate

Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.

Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms—and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations.

Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths and encourage the arts and commerce.

In a short response of 2–3 sentences, explain how the use of antithesis in the bolded lines helps to advance Kennedy's appeal for the American people to unite under a new president.


(Is this a good response?)
In the first sentence, “Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.”, he encourages the people to unite under their similarities. And though those may not be positive things, they can still bring them together. The same is said in the second sentence to give an example of what he means, “Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors.”

Explore the possibilities of invented words for the sake of adding humor to poetry

A poet often invents words to add humor to his poetry. Dr. Seuss, a popular author of children's books wrote such books as The Cat in the Hat, The Lorax, and The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. He had the clever talent of inventing words and creating images that are very humorous. He also used forced rhyme very effectively.

I. Independent research: Look up any Dr. Seuss book in your library and type the following information.

1. The title:
2. Author: Dr. Seuss
3. Publisher:
4. Some invented words used in the book that you particularly like.
5. What the funniest stanza (for verse) in the book is, in your opinion.

II. Warm-up

Write three nouns. Try and make up three words for each noun by making a rhyming word. Example: butterfly: tutterfly, wutterfly, shafutterfly

III. Type a short, funny story using invented words for as many things as you can.

Pretend you are in a world that has animals, birds, trees, useful tools, and people that have never been seen before. You are to invent names for all of them.

IV. Read your story aloud.

Does your story sound peculiar? Are some of the events even absurd? Can you imagine using your story to create a game? Or perhaps you will some day see an animated version of your story in a cartoon or full-length movie!
