Answer:
I had a frightening dream last night. I dreamed that I was walking high up on an old railroad trestle, it looked like the one I used to walk on, recklessly, when I was 10 years old. At that height, my palms were sweating, just as they did when I was a boy. I could see the ground out of the corner of my eye. I felt a sickening sensation. I realised there were rats below; thousands and thousands of rats. They knew I was up on the trestle. They were laughing because they were sure they would get me. Their teeth glinted in the moonlight, and their red eyes were like reflectors that almost blinded my sight. Sensing there was something more hideous behind me, I kept moving forward. Then, I realized I was coming to a gap in the trestle; there was no way I was going back, I would have to step over the empty gap. I leapt out in despair, knowing I would never make it, and felt myself falling helplessly down to the swarm of rejoicing rats. I woke up bathed in a sweat, half expecting to find a rat in my hand.
Explanation:
I have only corrected the incorrect punctuation, but there may be some spelling errors and wrongly placed tense and vocabulary in the paragraph, still needing editing. I hope this was a help for you as I have always enjoyed the subject English in school.

Choose one metaphor from this poem and explain why it is a metaphor, what the comparison means, and why you think the author chose to make this comparison.
What is the Sun?
By Wes Magee
The Sun is an orange dinghy
sailing across a calm sea
It is a gold coin dropped
down a drain in Heaven
It is a red thumb-print
on a sheet of pale blue paper.
"It is a gold coin dropped
down a drain in Heaven"
The comparison means that it's sort of like a golden coin that someone had dropped down a sink drain on an accident, but someone dropped it down the drain in heaven and it has now landed in the sky of the Earth.
I think the author chose to make this comparison because the sun is yellow and it is sort of a golden color and it is sort of common for things to be dropped down the drain. Therefore, it is like a golden coin going down the drain of heaven and into the sky.
Question 9 (5 points)
Read the two fictional conflicts below. Using complete sentences, explain how the differences in setting might affect the protagonist.
Story A: A boy gets caught stealing an apple in a crowded high school lunchroom.
Story B: A boy gets caught stealing an apple in a four-person lifeboat that has been drifting at sea for three days. (5 points)
Your answer:
Explanation:
From Story A since we are told that the boy gets caught stealing in a crowded high school lunchroom it is very possible for many to become aware of his actions; bringing him more shame and punishment.
However, in Story B, since we are told the boy was caught stealing in a four-person lifeboat that has been drifting at sea for three days, it is reasonable to believe that the protagonist (the boy) would face far lesser punishment because of the circumstances;
Remember, we are told that the lifeboat has been drifting at sea for three days, which means there may have been insufficient food onboard which likely lead to the theft.Because the number of those that are onboard is lesser, he will face lesser punishment.Answer: story A: since the room is more congested, more irregular individuals detect that the individual has been seen robbing; thus, their intention is slightly acting. The protagonist's intention is not to look as sinister. Whereas in story B, the ship's individuals are numerous, exhausted, and likely to have eaten a lot. Therefore, they are powerless to get mad or, should I express it, hungry, so the protagonist could be abused or examined highly poorly in that setting.

write a long story about what our school need to improve on.
Answer:
They need to improve the time you arrive and leave school. It's been a shown study that the human brain isn't fully functioning until 10 am, showing school starts too early. You should leave school around 3:30 to 4:30, so you have enough time to do homework, chores, whatever else and dinner. Some people are very busy and school get into a lot of their life. Schools also may need to improve the bully system, most are afraid to tell on the bully because of consequences. :)) I could name a lot more because my public school is trash, but these are the general ideas. :))

Explanation:
How does Dobyns’s use of unusual structure affect the meaning of “Icarus’s Flight?”
“Icarus’s Flight” by Stephen Dobyns
What else could the boy have done? Wasn’t
flight both an escape and a great uplifting?
And so he flew. But how could he appreciate
his freedom without knowing the exact point
where freedom stopped? So he flew upward
and the sun dissolved the wax and he fell.
But at last in his anticipated plummeting
he grasped the confines of what had been
his liberty. You say he flew too far?
He flew just far enough. He flew precisely
to the point of wisdom. Would it
have been better to flatter ignorantly
from petal to petal within some garden
forever? As a result, flight for him was not
upward escape, but descent, with his wings
disintegrating around him. Should it matter
that neither shepherd nor farmer with his plow
watched him fall? He now had his answer,
laws to uphold him in his downward plunge.
Cushion enough for what he wanted.
Answer:
D. The way sentences extend from one stanza into the next pull the reader along.
Explanation:
The myth of "Icarus" and his flight to the sun bringing his fall from the sky is a story we are all familiar with. It was this story that gives us the lesson of not going beyond what is dictated or not to be too curious or greedy.
Stephen Dobyns' version/ poem of the same myth presents the same case, but the only difference is that he presents the other possibility or other nature of the flight. For him, the escape doesn't merely mean an escape from the island or captivity, but it also signals the realization of what freedom is and to what extent it is available. For him, it was "a great uplifting", "fly[ing] precisely to the point of wisdom".
This unstructured and unusual pattern of poetry, the way the sentences are pulled along to the next stanza, without much punctuation makes the reader eager to keep reading. It entices and arrests the reader's interest, pulling us along until the end.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
The game lasted over four hours I didn't think it would ever end.
