Answer questions on page 2
House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
We didn't always live on Mango Street. Before that we lived on Loomis on the third floor, and before that we lived on Keeler. Before Keeler it was Paulina, and before that I can't remember. But what I remember most is moving a lot. Each time it seemed there'd be one more of us. By the time we got to Mango Street we were six—Mama, Papa, Carlos, Kiki, my sister Nenny and me.
Chunk 1 annotation:
The house on Mango Street is ours, and we don't have to pay rent to anybody, or share the yard with the people downstairs, or be careful not to make too much noise, and there isn't a landlord banging on the ceiling with a broom. But even so, it's not the house we'd thought we'd get.
Chunk 2 annotation
We had to leave the flat on Loom is quick. The water pipes broke and the landlord wouldn't fix them because the house was too old. We had to leave fast. We were using the washroom next door and carrying water over in empty milk gallons. That's why Mama and Papa looked for a house, and that's why we moved into the house on Mango Street, far away, on the other side of town.
Chunk 3 annotation
They always told us that one day we would move into a house, a real house that would be ours forever so we wouldn't have to move each year. And our house would have running water and pipes that worked. And inside it would have real stairs, not hallway stairs, but stairs inside like the houses on TV. And we'd have a basement and at least three washrooms so when we took a bath we wouldn't have to tell everybody. Our house would be white with trees around it, a great big yard and grass growing without a fence. This was the house Papa talked about when he held a lottery ticket and this was the house Mama dreamed up in the stories she told us before we went to bed.
Chunk 4 annotation
But the house on Mango Street is not the way they told it at all. It's small and red with tight steps in front and windows so small you'd think they were holding their breath. Bricks are crumbling in places, and the front door is so swollen you have to push hard to get in. There is no front yard, only four little elms the city planted by the curb. Outback is a small garage for the car we don't own yet and a small yard that looks smaller between the two buildings on either side. There are stairs in our house, but they're ordinary hallway stairs, and the house has only one washroom. Everybody has to share a bedroom—Mama and Papa, Carlos and Kiki, me and Nenny.
Chunk 5 annotation
Once when we were living on Loomis, a nun from my school passed by and saw me playing out front.
The laundromat downstairs had been boarded up because it had been robbed two days before and the owner had painted on the wood YES WE'RE OPEN so as not to lose business.
Where do you live? she asked.
There, I said pointing up to the third floor.
You live there? There. I had to look to where she pointed—the third floor, the paint peeling, wooden bars Papa had nailed on the windows so we wouldn't fall out. You live there? The way she said it made me feel like nothing. There. I lived there. I nodded.
I knew then I had to have a house. A real house. One I could point to. But this isn't it. The house on Mango Street isn't it. For the time being, Mama says. Temporary, says Papa. But I know how those things go.

what a good hook sentence for an MLK essay?

Answer:
Cousin, Oh, no! Do you mind fixing the dishwasher, waiting for the cable man, walking the dog, and filling up on toilet paper while you're here? It's been really beneficial to have you stay in our house for such a long time!
Talk to your family and let them know what's going on. You're having trouble getting your relative off your sofa after they visited for a "week" and ended up staying for two months. Inviting your aunt and uncle to stay with you is also a good idea. Perhaps your grandmother. "I simply thought we were having so much fun together, we should bring the entire family together!" you remark cheerfully as your cousin gazes at you with terror. I secured them a three-month visa! "

I need a Summary for the book of Frankenstein by Mary Shelly
Robert Walton, the captain of a ship bound for the North Pole, writes a letter to his sister, Margaret Saville, in which he says that his crew members recently discovered a man adrift at sea. The man, Victor Frankenstein, offered to tell Walton his story.
Frankenstein has a perfect childhood in Switzerland, with a loving family that even adopted orphans in need, including the beautiful Elizabeth, who soon becomes Victor's closest friend, confidante, and love. Victor also has a caring and wonderful best friend, Henry Clerval. Just before Victor turns seventeen and goes to study at the University at Ingoldstadt, his mother dies of scarlet fever. At Ingolstadt, Victor dives into "natural philosophy" with a passion, studying the secrets of life with such zeal that he even loses touch with his family. He soon rises to the top of his field, and suddenly, one night, discovers the secret of life. With visions of creating a new and noble race, Victor puts his knowledge to work. But when he animates his first creature, its appearance is so horrifying he abandons it. Victor hopes the monster has disappeared for ever, but some months later he receives word that his youngest brother, William, has been murdered. Though Victor sees the monster lingering at the site of the murder and is sure it did the deed, he fears no one will believe him and keeps silent. Justine Moritz, another adoptee in his family, has been falsely accused based of the crime. She is convicted and executed. Victor is consumed by guilt.To escape its tragedy, the Frankensteins go on vacation. Victor often hikes in the mountains, hoping to alleviate his suffering with the beauty of nature. One day the monster appears, and despite Victor's curses begs him incredibly eloquently to listen to its story. The monster describes his wretched life, full of suffering and rejection solely because of his horrifying appearance. (The monster also explains how he learned to read and speak so well.) The monster blames his rage on humanity's inability to perceive his inner goodness and his resulting total isolation. It demands that Victor, its creator who brought it into this wretched life, create a female monster to give it the love that no human ever will. Victor refuses at first, but then agrees.
Back in Geneva, Victor's father expresses his wish that Victor marry Elizabeth. Victor says he first must travel to England. On the way to England, Victor meets up with Clerval. Soon, though, Victor leaves Clerval at the house of a friend in Scotland and moves to a remote island to make his second, female, monster. But one night Victor begins to worry that the female monster might turn out more destructive than the first. At the same moment, Victor sees the first monster watching him work through a window. The horrifying sight pushes Victor to destroy the female monster. The monster vows revenge, warning Victor that it will "be with him on [his] wedding night." Victor takes the remains of the female monster and dumps them in the ocean. But when he returns to shore, he is accused of a murder that was committed that same night. When Victor discovers that the victim is Clerval, he collapses and remains delusional for two months. When he wakes his father has arrived, and he is cleared of the criminal charges against him.
Victor returns with his father to Geneva, and marries Elizabeth. But on his wedding night, the monster instead kills Elizabeth. Victor's father dies of grief soon thereafter. Now, all alone in the world, Victor dedicates himself solely to seeking revenge against the monster. He tracks the monster to the Arctic, but becomes trapped on breaking ice and is rescued by Walton's crew.
Walton writes another series of letters to his sister. He tells her about his failure to reach the North Pole and to restore Victor, who died soon after his rescue. Walton's final letter describes his discovery of the monster grieving over Victor's corpse. He accuses the monster of having no remorse, but the monster says it has suffered more than anyone. With Victor dead, the monster has its revenge and plans to end its own life.

Explanation:
Took the test
MY abode is not silent, nor I myself loud voiced; the Lord laid laws upon us, shaped our course together; I am swifter than he, stronger at times, he more laborious; sometimes I rest; he must needs run on. I ever dwell in him while I live: if we are parted death is my destiny. Explain how this riddle works. Describe the "speaker" of the riddle and tell how each statement about the speaker of its abode fits what you think the speaker is.
The speaker is a fish and its home is the river.
We can arrive at this answer because:
When the speaker says that his house is not silent, we can say that he is talking about the river's capacity to have a specific and judicious sound.The speaker claims that he and the river have the same course, but they change speeds. This refers to the movement of fish and river, which happens simultaneously but at different speeds.The fish cannot live far from the river, because if they separate, the fish dies, which is why the speaker claims that death is his destiny.This is a riddle that needs to be interpreted logically and gradually to be solved.

Source 1 Pitts' Flash Mob Robberies article
Topic sentence 1 What does this article show about mob mentality?
According to the article, the Mob mentality is created by detachment from the social alliance.
We can arrive at this answer because:
The article shows how Mob Robberies has become a common practice and has been carried out by groups of people who have no financial and social justification for it.This is because the mob has revealed a pattern of behavior among individuals, which completely breaks the social alliance that exists within the population.This social alliance affirms that there are rules that must be followed for the whole society to benefit from it.One of these rules is that theft must not be practiced.However, with the events we are living through, with political leaders being controversial, racist events in society, and an intense reversal of values, this social alliance has been completely destroyed, people have questioned the need for rules and have broken them as a form of rebellion.
These feelings have passed from one person to another, which has resulted in the creation of Mob Robberies.

In 1995, the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Visitor Complex stopped receiving funds from the government. Luckily, it was able to stay open by using money from investors and visitors. Thankfully, with their support, many more tours have been added to the KSC experience. Guests can visit the launch center, the countdown clock, and a mission control center. An IMAX theater shows movies about the space program. Visitors can experience a shuttle launch on the Shuttle Launch Experience ride. Many people from around the world come to visit KSC. About 2.5 million people visit each year. That makes a lot of money to pay all of the workers and to help the Kennedy Space Center grow. The KSC hires thousands of employees. Many of them are from Florida. When visitors come to the Kennedy Space Center, they spend a lot of money. This helps to keep local shops, restaurants, and hotels in business. Although many are still fascinated by space travel, the space program is declining. Less money is being given for space exploration. Despite this, millions of people still visit the Kennedy Space Center. Hopefully, it will continue to expand and help the Florida economy grow.

Does Gertrude seem sincere in Scene 1 when she tells Claudius that Hamlet killed Polonius in a fit of insanity and that Hamlet is trying to protect himself? Why or why not?
book Halmet
In Scene 1, Act 4 of "Hamlet", Gertrude hast o tell King Claudius that her own son committed a murder. When it comes to whether she seems sincere or not, an example of an opinion is the following:
- Yes, Gertrude seems sincere when she tells Claudius about Hamlet's crime. So much so that she convinces Claudius that Hamlet is mad.
Gertrude is Hamlet's mother. She is present when Hamlet kills Polonius and when he talks to the ghost of his father.
Of course, Gertrude cannot see the ghost. Nor does she understand why Hamlet is acting so strange lately and why he would even kill someone.
Although Hamlet thinks he is just pretending to be crazy, his actions are truly insane. For that reason, his own mother believes him to be mad.
That is why Gertrude seems sincere when she tells Claudius that Hamlet killed Polonius in a fit of insanity. She is sincere because she truly believes her son to be crazy.
