Which theme is best shown in this passage from My Antonia?
Those girls had grown up in the first bitter-hard times, and had got little schooling themselves. But the younger brothers and sisters, for whom they made such sacrifices and who have had “advantages,” never seem to me, when I meet them now, half as interesting or as well educated. The older girls, who helped to break up the wild sod, learned so much from life, from poverty, from their mothers and grandmothers; they had all, like Antonia, been early awakened and made observant by coming at a tender age from an old country to a new.
A good education is the key to success.
People are better off farming than going to school.
Women’s strength helps immigrant families to succeed.
Poverty leads people to have uninteresting lives.
Answer:
My Antonia is a novel written by the Author Willa Cather in 1918. The novel tells the story of the pioneers of Nebraska and their life in the Old West, The story makes emphasis on the role of the women during that time. There are two other novels which are the thematic preceding of My Antonia: O Pioneers! and The Song of the Lark.
The theme presented in the comparison of the older siblings with the younger ones is that when it comes to character or education, there is not better school than life. This is actually the main content of the whole passage presented here.
Life experiences and hard work represent a better school and teachings than the ones you can get in the formal schooling system.

Metamorphosis
by Frank Kafka
One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armor-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.
“What’s happened to me?” he thought. It wasn’t a dream.
Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. “How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense”, he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn’t get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn’t have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before.
There was a cautious knock at the door near his head. “Gregor,” somebody called—it was his mother—“it’s quarter to seven. Didn’t you want to go somewhere?” Gregor was shocked when he heard his own voice answering, it could hardly be recognized as the voice he had had before. As if from deep inside him, there was a painful and uncontrollable squeaking mixed in with it, the words could be made out at first but then there was a sort of echo which made them unclear. Gregor had wanted to give a full answer and explain everything, but in the circumstances contented himself with saying: “Yes, mother, yes, thank-you, I’m getting up now.”
Review the excerpt from the story “Metamorphosis” and answer the question below:
What can we infer about Gregor when he replies to his mother, “Yes, mother, yes, thank-you, I’m getting up now.”
Gregor loves his mother.
Gregor gets hysterical in stressful situations.
Gregor stays calm in stressful situations.
Gregor is healthy and sane.
Answer:
Gregor stays calm in stressful situations.

Based on what you have learned in this lesson, what is the difference between farce and satire? In your response, give an example of a farcical element and a satirical element from The Proposal.
Answer:
Explanation:
Satire: is a text or performance that uses humor, wit, irony and ridicule to criticize people, concepts, beliefs or opinions in a society. It is important to note that the term satire refers to a style critiquing society as well as the work created by using that style. Although satire makes the audience laugh, its main aim is to expose and criticize the idiocies and vices in the society. Therefore, a satirical work is able to expose the corruption, weaknesses, abuse as well as the follies and absurdities of people.
Farce: A farce is a light comedy that entertains the audience through situations that are highly extravagant and exaggerated. It involves the intentional use of physical humour, bawdy jokes, and deliberate absurdity. The characters in a farce are often one-dimensional and engage in buffoonery and horseplay, making the audience laugh. Moreover, the plot of a farce often contains many twists and random events, including cases of mistaken identities and misunderstandings.
Answer:
Farce makes use of comedy simply for comedy's sake. Satire uses humor to criticize particular behaviors or actions within a society as a way to bring about change. One example of a farcical element in The Proposal is the ridiculous arguments that take place between Natalya and Lomov. One example of a satirical element in The Proposal is Chekhov’s implied commentary on the idea of marriage as a means of economic gain. Chekhov depicts a successful proposal between two mismatched people—Natalya and Lomov—amid trivial circumstances. The success of the proposal in such circumstances highlights how, in nineteenth-century Russia, marriage was something done simply for financial security and nothing else.

Read the excerpt from “Tools of the Spymaster."
Later, as Clinton's troops were heading up the Hudson Valley, Clinton used another device to pass the news of his whereabouts to Burgoyne. Clinton wrote a message on a piece of silk that he put in a silver ball about the size of a musket ball. (Clinton also sometimes cut a message into long, narrow strips and coiled them into the hollow quill of a large feather.) Clinton gave the silver ball to Daniel Taylor, a young officer, promising that Taylor would be promoted if he got the message to Burgoyne. If he were captured, he was to swallow the ball. Because it was made of silver, it could not harm him.
The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to
persuade the reader that a spy named Daniel Taylor is a hero.
entertain the reader with a humorous story about a young officer.
prove that spying was the only way for the Americans to win the war.
give an example of creative spying during the American Revolution.
Answer:persuade the reader that a spy named Daniel Taylor is a hero.

Look back through the of The Diary of a Young Girl and find an incident that you think is particularly meaningful,then write about the incident. 1 paragraph maximum
Answer:
N/A
Explanation:
I have 2 good incidents. I will put them both here and you can pick whichever you like. I am using quotes to say the incident and then I explain with a paragraph.
1A. "I get cross, then sad, and finally end up turning my heart inside out, the bad part on the outside and the good part on the inside, and keep trying to find a way to become what I’d like to be and what I could be if . . . if only there were no other people in the world."
1B. This statement ends Anne Frank’s last diary entry, written on August 1, 1944. Anne does not intend to end her diary at this point: to her, it is just the end of a regular day of hiding in the annex. However, this turns out to be her last entry because the Nazis arrested her and her family just three days later. It serves as a fitting conclusion to Anne’s development and personal growth during her time in the annex. Since her time in hiding coincides with puberty, Anne constantly struggles with her identity and her evolving sense of self. She tries to figure out her role within the annex and how she fits into the war and suffering in the outside world. Anne believes that she is a good person, but she also realizes that because of her confinement, she is unable to reach her true potential until she is released back to her normal life after the war. Anne’s words resonate even more profoundly because we know that within months these “other people” kill her in the concentration camp. Anne is never allowed to reach her full potential and never gets the chance to become the good person she has in mind.
2A. "It’s difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart."
2B. Anne writes this on July 15, 1944, less than one month before the Nazis arrested her and her family, sending them all to the concentration camps. This is perhaps the most well-known quotation from Anne’s diary because it is a brazen expression of optimism in the face of imminent and incomprehensible cruelty. The passage also provides a brief glimpse into Anne’s mind during her last days in the annex and demonstrates how much she has changed from when her family first went into hiding. At the beginning of her diary, Anne would likely never have had the self-insight to make such a sweeping statement. After two years of growth while living in extremely difficult circumstances, however, she is able to find within herself a core of hope and optimism. This passage is an example of Anne’s occasional and brilliant glimpses of lucidity and insight into her horrific situation.

What do you think would have made the essay more effective and why? Your answer should be 3 to 4 sentences.
here's the essay:
Take Another Look at Electric Cars
The average automobile driver pays $2,000 annually for gasoline. That $2,000 of gas is contributing to both the United States’ dependency on foreign countries and environmental pollution. Electric cars are beneficial for their owners and for the environment. Anybody who is buying a new car should consider purchasing an electric car.
Electric vehicles have a reputation as being expensive, but that has changed in the past few years. Purchase prices have been dropping and a federal tax credit lowers their actual cost even more. The average cost of a brand new gas automobile is approximately $31,500. Most new electric cars are priced between $30,000 and $40,000. That is a higher initial cost, but when you factor in the $7,500 federal tax credit (and possibly additional state tax credits, depending on where you live), the price becomes comparable to that of a gasoline car. The annual costs associated with owning a car are much lower with an electric car. The average driver pays about $2,000 a year for gas. The average cost of electricity for a year of driving is $500. That will save $1,500 a year in fuel. Additionally, a more modern and streamlined engine will save drivers in other maintenance fees. One government study estimated that electric-car drivers will save over 40 percent in annual maintenance fees.
One of the biggest arguments against electric cars has been their limited range. Electric cars do have a shorter range, but that range is plenty for most drivers. The majority of American drivers travel less than 35 miles a day, and the average electric car has a range of about 100 miles on a full charge. Charging the car at home each night will provide enough power for daily driving and allow drivers to save time by avoiding stops at the gas station. And, as the number of electric cars on the road increases, more businesses and employers will install charging stations for their customers and employees, which will make charging a vehicle even easier.
An electric car may not be for everyone, but they have evolved beyond their original restrictions. With a purchase price that is comparable to a gas car, and reduced fuel and maintenance fees, anyone who is purchasing a new car should seriously consider an electric car. Spread the word, and check out an electric car today.

Hello!~
What I think that would have made the essay more effective is the use of more emotion and flow. This is because the essay does not explain more in depth of why this problem needs to be fixed. It is also because, the essay does not have transition words.
