Please help me.
also here's this if you want to listen to it instead of reading:
One night in autumn a few men were gathered about a fire on a hill. They belonged to a small detachment of Confederate forces. Their gray uniforms were worn beyond the point of shabbiness. One of the men was heating something in a tin cup over the embers. Two were lying at full length a little distance away, while a fourth was trying to decipher a letter and had drawn close to the light. He had unfastened his collar and a good bit of his flannel shirt front.
"What's that you got around your neck, Ned?" asked one of the men.
Ned—or Edmond—mechanically fastened another button of his shirt and did not reply. He went on reading his letter.
"Is it your sweetheart's picture?"
"Taint no gal's picture," offered the man at the fire. "That's a charm. Hey, French! Ain't I right?" Edmond looked up absently from his letter.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Ain't that a charm you got round your neck?"
"It must be, Nick," returned Edmond with a smile. "I don't know how I could have gone through this year and a half without it."
The letter had made Edmond heartsick and homesick. He stretched himself on his back and looked straight up at the blinking stars. But he was not thinking of them nor of anything but a certain spring day when a girl was saying goodbye to him. He could see her as she unclasped from her neck the locket which she fastened about his own. It was an old fashioned golden locket bearing miniatures of her father and mother. It was her most precious earthly possession. Edmond could feel again the folds of the girl's soft white gown and see the droop of the angel-sleeves as she circled her fair arms about his neck. Her sweet face, tormented by the pain of parting, appeared before him as vividly as life. He turned over, burying his face in his arm and there he lay, still and motionless. . . .
Octavie wore a plain black dress, severe in its simplicity. A narrow belt held it at the waist and the sleeves were gathered into close fitting wristbands. She had discarded her hoopskirt and appeared not unlike a nun. Beneath the folds of her bodice nestled the old locket. She never displayed it now. It had returned to her sanctified in her eyes; made precious as material things sometimes are by being forever identified with a significant moment of one's existence. . . .
Octavie felt as if she had passed into a stage of existence which was like a dream, more poignant and real than life. There was the old gray house with its sloping eaves. Amid the blur of green, and dimly, she saw familiar faces and heard voices as if they came from far across the fields, and Edmond was holding her. It was as if the spirit of life and the awakening spring had given back the soul to her youth and bade her rejoice.
Answer:
The locket necklace symbolizes Love. Evident from how she was feeling as he held her hand.

In a few sentences sum up the story of Revere ride as it is described in the poem
I don't exactly have a poem to go off of here, but what happened was that Paul Revere saw the signal lanterns under Christ church and night. This was a signal that the British were there and ready for war. Then he got on his horse, and went all through town screaming "The British Are Coming!" which woke everyone up, and they saw the lantern as well. Paul's warning gave the colonists and the militia men time to prepare for the fight. Basically saving them.

Read the following passages:
But looking, I presently saw something stirring within the
shadow. ... Then something resembling a little gray snake,
about the thickness of a walking stick, coiled up out of the
writhing middle and wriggled in the air toward me and
then another."
-H. G. Wells, The War of the Worlds
Good heavens, something's wriggling out of the shadow
like a gray snake. Now it's another one, and another. They
look like tentacles to me.
-Orson Welles's radio adaptation of War of the Worlds
What choice does Welles make that causes the radio broadcast to feel like it
is happening live?
A. He changes the perspective to the first person.
B. He changes the verbs to present tense.
O C. He changes the details of the scene to be more frightening.
D. He changes the tone of the story to be less dramatic.
Answer: B. He changes the verbs to present tense.
Explanation:
In the adaptation, the biggest difference made was how he worded it to make it sound like it was happening in present tense.
Details were changed but not enough for it to be the main reason that the story felt like it was happening live so C. and D. are wrong.
The perspective was already in first person to begin with so A. is wrong as well.
The only option left is B. and we can see that he does change the story to be in present tense which is a good explanation as to how the story sounded like it was happening live.
I hope this helps!
The use of present tense verbs also creates a sense of urgency and tension, which heightens the suspense and makes the audience feel more engaged in the story. Thus, option B is correct.
What is the present tense verb?Present tense verbs are verbs that describe actions that are currently happening or habitual actions. In English, present tense verbs typically end in "-s" in the third person singular form (e.g. "he walks," "she talks," "it runs") and do not require an auxiliary verb (e.g. "is," "are," "am") to form the present tense.
Examples of present tense verbs in the present simple tense include "I walk," "you talk," "we run," "they eat." In the context of the passage, the use of present tense verbs in Orson Welles's radio adaptation of The War of the Worlds creates a sense of immediacy and makes the events feel like they are happening in real-time.

Why might it be important to be able to use text-based evidence in a project?
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
Text-based evidence may be referred to lines or sections of a particular book or journal which may be referenced in other to make or support a particular claim. With text - based evidence, it gives readers an idea of where the imagination or thought of the claim made is coming from while also giving increased confidence about the veracity of the claim made.

write the similarities and differences between the character muntaz and grandfather Akbar
Answer:
They were different in many ways. Shahjahan reign was very peaceful. He did not fight many wars hence he was more focused on building monuments etc. Shahjahan was not very religious. He was very secular King. He liked grandeur and had a lavish lifestyle
Aurangzeb was very religious and led a very simple life. Aurangzeb did not like to live a grand life and his personal expenses were borne by selling Quran written by him. Aurangzeb was always fighting some war or the other and as a result, he had a vast Kingdom much larger than he had inherited from Shahjahan,
Even in his death, Aurangzeb preferred to be buried in a simple grave and not build a huge Mausoleum like Taj Mahal preferred by his father

"All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages."
Answer: Life and death
Explanation:
The "stage" is the world. The men and women being "merely players" is everyone living their lives on the world, having their own purpose in life, but because the world is depicted as a stage, then the men and women are like actors. "Exits and entrances" refers to the death and birth of humans, meaning we were all born once, and will die one day, when our time comes. The seven ages are seven stages in life that we will reach some point in our lives:
1. infant
2. schoolboy
3. lover
4. soldier
5. justice
6. platoon
7. old age
After old age, comes death.

Read the excerpt from "The Cask of Amontillado":
It was now midnight, and my task was drawing to a close. I had completed the eighth, the ninth and the tenth tier. I had finished a portion of the last and the eleventh; there remained but a single stone to be fitted and plastered in. I struggled with its weight; I placed it partially in its destined position. But now there came from out the niche a low laugh that erected the hairs upon my head. It was succeeded by a sad voice, which I had difficulty in recognizing as that of the noble Fortunato.

Answer:
Distress
Explanation:
Since he was struggling in what he was doing, such as placing the stone in it's place and that it was not perfect and was just partial. Shows that he was worrying. Also because the hair on his arms were standing up, it showed that he was stressed and scared because of Fortunato's odd response. I hope this is correct!

Write a paragraph about your duties and responsibility towards your parents.
Parents are the birth-givers to their children. Not only did they take care of us when we were frail and fragile, but they also nurtured us with love and lavished us with all the things that we ever asked for, because that's just how much they love their children; so much that they would be willing to sacrifice anything for their kids to feel bliss. My duties, as the first child of two very hard-working and conscientious parents, is to return back the same love and care that they had poured on me, even when there were times where my tantrum was directed at them, as well as to lavish them with the same happiness that I was so fortunate to be raised in by them.
