Answer:
How does the metaphor in this excerpt affect the tone of the passage? As the daylight began to fade, the gentle breeze that surrounded Regina was a soft embrace, comforting and kind, the same type of loving hug that her grandmother had given her during her visit. That zephyr's soft squeeze—that tiny cuddle—reminded Regina that her and her grandmother's closeness in thought and heart was unaffected by the miles between them. Regina found her feet and headed to the house. When she entered, her mother was opening windows and letting in fresh air. It creates a wistful tone because Regina recalls the fun she had over the summer at her grandmother's house. It creates a somber tone because of the distance that separates Regina from her life at her grandmother's house. It creates a heartwarming tone because Regina is reminded of the closeness she and her grandmother share. It creates a resigned tone because Regina knows it will be some time before she is with her grandmother again.

5 paragraph essay on “Social Distance Learning Experience” 20 sentences or longer. I will mark brainiest if it’s 20 or longer. I really need help this is due in 2 weeks! :/
Answer:
Social distancie learning experience:
As we all know our lifes have all drastically changed with the ongoing pandemic. Due to that fact we are required to do social distancing and not attend school. We are all restricted to online learning and as we all know with that comes great challange. Although we cannot see out friends at school we can still have a positive learning experience. We are all in this together and we have to make the best of it! As you all know doing school work online can be a little inconvinient due to the fact that we are all confined to our homes. We should put more emphasis on improving our communications and learning experiences. Most teachers give away tons of homework and expect students to return them without issue. Giving more homework to students has not been solving the problem of learning. Many teachers give unnesesary homework just so that the students blance the school hours. We also need to reduce the screentime of students. Teachers always suggest that to much screen time can be irritating to the eye. There should be no more than 4 consecutive hours otherwise students may not have enough rest. Many schools have done a great deal of work to improve the online learning experience. Students should be asked to review the online learning experience. They give necesarry feedback to improve certain difficulties like lack of teacher support or exessive homework. The road ahead will be a hard one and online learning will definitly have an impact on our learning experience. We just have to make the best we can and accept the ongoing situation. We should all strive to improve our online learing experience. Together we will be able to adjust to this new learning experience. My final remarks would be that screen time and stress should be redused. That the teachers and faculty strive to improve the learning experience of our school. I look forward to a good year of Social distance learning.

"You just don’t understand," she said, as Maggie and I came out to the car.
"What don’t I understand?" I wanted to know.
"Your heritage," she said.
What does Dee mean when she says Mama doesn’t understand their heritage? Explain what culture means to Dee and to Mama.
Answer:
Dee believes that Mama and Maggie don't appreciate their heritage and culture as much as she does because they occasionally use family items that Dee feels should be preserved.
Explanation:
Dee has contrasting views with Mama and Maggie about heritage as Dee believes it is something of the past that should be revered and hung on a place to display or doing something artistic with it but Mama and Dee are of the opinion that things of heritage should be used to honor them by keeping them alive
Answer:
Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use” shows the relationship between an African-American mother and her two daughters, Dee and Maggie. While the mother and Maggie embrace their simple life, Dee has rejected her heritage and has turned to a different set of beliefs that she thinks truly define her cultural identity. These opposing attitudes are reflected in their views about the family quilts.
In the story, Dee’s mother recounts an incident where they argued over a set of ancestral quilts. While Dee insists she’ll keep the old quilts made by their grandmothers, Mama prefers to give them to her younger daughter, Maggie. Dee protests that Maggie will never understand the true value of the quilts, insisting:
"Maggie can't appreciate these quilts!" she said. "She'd probably be backward enough to put them to everyday use."
Dee argues such quilts should be seen as artifacts. For Dee, her upbringing and its culture is something that should be displayed as “art” in her home and not used.
On the other hand, the mother remembers how those quilts were made and uses them with love and care. She believes they should be used every day to celebrate the family’s heritage and stay connected to family traditions and beliefs. Therefore, the two women have very different views on the definition of their heritage and how to respect and celebrate it.

Read the excerpt from The Code Book.
During the late 1980s, working from his home in Boulder, Colorado, Zimmermann gradually pieced together his scrambling software package. His main goal was to speed up RSA encryption. Ordinarily, if Alice wants to use RSA to encrypt a message to Bob, she looks up his public key and then applies RSA's one-way function to the message. Conversely, Bob decrypts the ciphertext by using his private key to reverse RSA's one-way function. Both processes require considerable mathematical manipulation, so encryption and decryption can, if the message is long, take several minutes on a personal computer. If Alice is sending a hundred messages a day, she cannot afford to spend several minutes encrypting each one.
Which kinds of evidence are included in the excerpt? Select 3 options.
a statistic
an example
a quote
a hypothetical situation
a fact
the author’s personal story
Answer:
An example
A hypothetical situation
A fact
Explanation:
Hypothetical situation: This is a situation that is depicted based on imagination.The author gave a hypothetical situation of Alice encrypting a message to bob using Bob's public key and Bob decrypting the message on his own end using his own private key.
ExampleThe author cited an example that Alice cannot afford to encrypt a hundred messages one by one due to the long time it takes. This is to back up the point earlier stated that encrption and decyption take time for long. messages.
Fact: This a point that is generally trueThe point that encryption and decryption can take several minutes on a personal computer if the message is long is a fact

How is Mike’s point of view affected by his grandmother’s greeting? (Paragraphs 17-24) A Mike realizes how lonely his grandmother has been. B Mike realizes that something is off in his grandmother’s behavior. C Mike begins to think that his grandmother does not love him anymore. D Mike begins to think the nursing home staff are abusing his grandmother.
Answer:
Mike's point of view is affect by his grandmother's greeting in the sense that:
B Mike realizes that something is off in his grandmother’s behavior.
Explanation:
In the story "The Moustache" by Richard Cormier, Mike visits his grandmother at a nursing home. She welcomes him with such joy and brightness that he is, at first, relieved. He was afraid it would be one of those days when she couldn't recognize him. However, after a moment, he realizes there is something off in her behavior. He cannot put his finger on it, though. He does not know if she is just happy to be lucid, or if she has been feeling lonely:
I was beginning to feel uneasy, because she regarded me with such intensity. Those bright eyes. I wondered -- are old people in place like this so lonesome, so abandoned that they go wild when someone visits? Or was she so happy because she was suddenly lucid and everything was sharp and clear? My mother had described those moments when my grandmother suddenly emerged from the fog that so often obscured her mind. I didn't know the answers, but it felt kind of spooky, getting such an emotional welcome from her.
Answer:
B. Mike realizes that something is off in his grandmother’s behavior.

This idea is in keeping with the theme of the story that humans are?
Theme is a binding agent. It makes everything in a story stick together
To state its theme is one way of describing what a story is about. To start finding a story’s theme, see if there is a more or less generic concept that fits, like “reform”, “racism”, “good vs. evil”. The theme of Shakespeare’s Othello is jealousy.

In ancient times, the Greeks had gods for many important forces in their lives -- the sea, thunderstorms, farming, music, medicine, poetry, archery, etc. Why do you think they imagined many different gods rather than just one? Would this make life more confusing or less confusing?
Answer:
They had different gods to pray for different things. For example a food god would be prayed for a good harvest. A fertility god would be prayed to for a healthy baby. This would make life confusing as you would have to spend a LOT of time praying. Maybe about 5 hours a day to major and minor gods.

Which of these passages is an example of a functional text?
Passage 1
Circulatory systems are vital to every organism. In some, this system is simple. For example, in earthworms, the "heart" is just five branching blood vessels near the worm's head. The worm's heart does not pump; instead, blood and fluid move through the worm as it moves through the soil. The octopus, a more complex animal, has three hearts because its main heart does not pump strongly. Humans only have one heart that is divided into four chambers. These chambers separate oxygen-rich blood from blood rich in carbon dioxide. Regardless of its size, the circulatory performs many important jobs.
Passage 2
Ptolemy commences with laying down the undoubted truth that the shape of the earth is globular. The proofs which he gives of this fundamental fact are quite satisfactory; they are indeed the same proofs as we give today. There is, first of all, the well-known circumstance of which our books on geography remind us, that when an object is viewed at a distance across the sea, the lower part of the object appears cut off by the interposing curved mass of water.
(from Great Astronomers by Robert Stawell Ball)
Passage 3
[Miss Havisham] was dressed in rich materials—satins, and lace, and silks—all of white. Her shoes were white. And she had a long white veil dependent from her hair, and she had bridal flowers in her hair, but her hair was white. Some bright jewels sparkled on her neck and on her hands, and some other jewels lay sparkling on the table. Dresses, less splendid than the dress she wore, and half-packed trunks, were scattered about…
(from Great Expectations by Charles Dickens)
Passage 4
First, learn and observe all posted safety instructions and adhere to all general safety guidelines. This includes knowing where fire extinguishers are located and maintaining an immaculate and orderly work station. To use a fire extinguisher correctly, follow the steps described in PASS: 1: Pull the pin; 2: Aim at the base of the fire; 3: Squeeze the top handle or lever; 4: Sweep from side to side. Following these instructions can help extinguish a fire quickly and safely.

Decide whether the following is a simile, metaphor, or neither.
white as a white cow's milk
Answer:
SIMILE
Explanation:
This is a simile because when a statement contains the words 'like' or 'as' then it is not possible to be a metaphor.
For example:
A metaphor would sound something like: The snow is a white blanket.
There is no like or as in the statement so its not a simile

Section 2:
Begins with: “I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart”
Ends with: “The poorest worker bartered through the years.”
What words and phrases are repeated several times in this section of the poem? What effect does this use of repetition achieve for the message and/or tone of the poem?
Answer:
The word "Of" and the phrase "I am" are repeated several times in section 2 of the poem.
The use of this repetition serves to personalize and give face to people who are not part of the American dream, that is the poor whites, African Americans, American Indians and immigrants who have all been left out.
Explanation:
In this second section of the Let America Be America Again the angry tone of the poem is emphasized and shows that this is not just about one group of people but includes the poor whites, African Americans, American Indians and immigrants who have all been left out.
The use of the phrase "I am" is to personalize and give face to those people who are left out.
Reread the introduction and conclusion to the story. Why do you think Walker chose to begin and end the story in the fashion she did? What do these sections reveal about the narrator, Mama?
ANSWER FOR PLATO:
The story opens with a description of the yard, which is like “an extended living room” where “anyone can come and sit and look up into the elm tree and wait for the breezes that never come inside the house.” This description shows that Mama and her daughter Maggie share a comfortable relationship with their home and their surroundings. Maggie’s reaction to her sister who “has held life always in the palm of one hand” and is not used to hearing the word no also helps readers picture Dee.
As the story ends, a dejected and frustrated Dee chides her mother and sister for not “understanding” their heritage. She also sneers at Maggie, telling her to “make something of” herself. She doesn’t seem to realize Mama and Maggie are satisfied living in their home amid their ancestors’ heirlooms and memories and so already possess the identity that she lacks. As Mama says:
After we watched the car dust settle I asked Maggie to bring me a dip of snuff. And then the two of us sat there just enjoying, until it was time to go in the house and go to bed.
In this way, Alice Walker shows the reader that Mama understands her family tradition and heritage better than Dee does.
Hello. You forgot to mention that this question is about "Everyday Use".
Answer:
Alice Walker decided to start and end the story the way she did it, to show that issues of ancestry are taken up by different people in different ways. Furthermore, it shows that, although Mama, there is no Dee in this respect, Mama's knowledge of her ancestry, race and tradition is greater and more complete than Dee's.
Explanation:
At the beginning of "Everyday Use", we are introduced to a narrative that shows a certain harmony between Mama and Maggie, in relation to their current lives. They are comfortable with their lives, with their locations and with their assets. The narrative shows that not everyone feels the same way, since it presents Dee in a more rebellious and impetuous way.
At the end of the story, the narrative no longer supports this atmosphere of harmony, as it shows Dee saddened by her situation and disgusted that her mother and sister, for not acting like her with regard to the memory of their ancestors and the identity of race they have. However, all the characters are aware of the ancestry and the weight it has in their lives, however, each one deals with it differently.
Answer:
i think the author wrote the introduction to introduce the story
Explanation:
in the passage it talks about the characters and what they do to kind of give a picture about the characters and the story.
