Please forgive me, I've got demons in my head.

People tell me the demons aren't as bad as I say. "You're letting them control you!" they say. "They aren't that bad! You're making it up for attention!"

Addie and Ziah dig their claws in a little deeper every time they hear that.

When I tell people about Addie and Ziah, how they hurt me, they tell me to just try not to listen. "Don't listen to them! Be happy! If you think positively, they'll go away."

They've taken all my happy thoughts. Ziah feeds on them, spitting them back out as poison that Addie then spreads like a disease until there's nothing left.

Ziah whispers in my ear, telling me how terrifying the world is, how everyone hates me, how everyone judges me, how I'm messing up, how I'm a waste of space and air, how I should just give up. She reminds me of how fragile I am, how easy it would be to draw blood, how easy it would be to give up.

Addie is less subtle, choosing to scream rather than whisper.

She isn't as nice, either. Ziah is only telling the truth, but Addie tells me anything she thinks of.

What if you put your finger in an electric socket? she screams. What if you chewed your fingers until they bled? What if you went a little too far while wrestling with your siblings? What if you threw something across the room?

What if you died?

Sometimes they work in harmony, screaming and whispering at the same time, telling me I'm not enough so I should hit something, telling me I'm worthless so I should distance myself from everyone, telling me I should just... stop.

Addie doesn't stop at screaming in my ear, though. She's in my whole body, in my legs to make them constantly bounce and annoy people (Ziah loves that, she tells me everyone hates me because I'm constantly moving). She's in my chest, squeezing my heart and lungs and filling them with electricity until I feel like I have to burst (Ziah does this too, except when she does it hurts more). She's in my brain, stealing my memories and thoughts and setting fire to my emotions.

Fire. That's a good way to describe what Addie does to me. She sets fire to my skin, making it crawl with energy until I feel like it's going to break through and I'm going to die. She sets fire to my thoughts and memories until they burn up and I can't find them anymore. She sets fire to my emotions, making them burn too brightly and too hot until I burn other people with them.

Full would be another good way. I'm full of energy and emotion and it makes me feel sick and pressured and I need to do something, anything to release the pressure, and sometimes I feel as though knives are the only option~

They aren't, though. Haven't been for almost a year now. Addie and Ziah have given me that much.

Nobody blames the demons, though. They blame me.

"Why can't you sit still? Why can't you be quiet? Why can't you remember? Why can't you pay attention? Why are you so annoying?

It's the demons!
I need a review of Don't listen
"Don't listen to them, then!"

I have no thoughts of my own to listen to instead. I have no name. I have nothing of myself. There are only the demons.

Please forgive me, I've got demons in my head.

Which of these best describes the purpose of the advertisement (section 3) included in the passage

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer Explanations

Section 1: Reading Test

QUESTION 1

Choice D is the best answer. The passage begins with the main character, Lymie, sitting in a restaurant

and reading a history book. The first paragraph describes the book in front of him (“Blank pages front

and back were filled in with maps, drawings, dates, comic cartoons, and organs of the body,” lines 11-

13). The second paragraph reveals what Lymie is reading about (the Peace of Paris and the Congress of

Vienna) and suggests his intense concentration on the book (“sometimes he swallowed whole the food

that he had no idea he was eating,” lines 23-24). In the third paragraph, the focus of the passage shifts

to a description and discussion of others in the restaurant, namely “A party of four, two men and two

women . . . ” (lines 42-43).

Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not provide observations made by other characters, only

offering Lymie’s and the narrator’s observations. Choice B is incorrect because the beginning of the

passage focuses on Lymie as he reads by himself and the end of the passage focuses on the arrival of

Lymie’s father, with whom Lymie’s relationship seems somewhat strained. Choice C is incorrect because

the setting is described in the beginning of the first paragraph but is never the main focus of the

passage.

QUESTION 2

Choice C is the best answer. The main purpose of the first paragraph is to establish the passage’s setting

by describing a place and an object. The place is the Alcazar Restaurant, which is described as being

“long and narrow” and decorated with “art moderne,” murals, and plants (lines 2-6), and the object is

the history book Lymie is reading.

Choice A is incorrect because rather than establishing what Lymie does every night, the first paragraph

describes what Lymie is doing on one night. Choice B is incorrect because nothing in the first paragraph

indicates when the passage takes place, as the details provided (such as the restaurant and the book)

are not specific to one era. Choice D is incorrect because nothing in the first paragraph clearly

foreshadows a later event.

QUESTION 3

Which of the following is the best summary of "The Man to Send Rain Clouds?"

What social norm of the time period is Scout having conflict regarding? What
does the story suggest might be the reason for this?

Answers

Answer:

The societal norm against which Scout is having conflict is the notion of propriety for women of the time period.

The reason for this conflict is her tomboyish attitude.

Explanation:

"To Kill a Mockingbird" is a novel written by Harper Lee.

Scout, or Jean Louise Finch. is the narrator of the story. She is a six-year-old girl who lives in Maycomb with her older brother, Jem, and father, Atticus. Scout, as correctly nicknamed, reflects the characteristics of a young girl, who is inquisitive and smart. She conflicts with the societal norms laid for women of the time period. She is having conflict with the notion of propriety for women.

The reason for this conflict is her tomboyish behavior. The story suggests that she is in conflict with this norm because she climbs the tree with Jem and Bill. It is also because her father has kept her away from evil societal norms.

A well-formed sentence follows grammatical rules and conveys meaning. It can be a simple statement, a question, a command, or an exclamation.

A sentence typically begins with a capital letter and ends with a punctuation mark, such as a period, question mark, or exclamation point. Sentences allow us to communicate ideas, convey information, express emotions, and engage in meaningful conversations. They form the building blocks of written and spoken language, enabling effective communication and expression.

C. alliteration


D. rhyme

Answers

Answer:

would it be a chorus? in our church when they have songs like that its called a chorus ;-;  

Explanation:

Answer:

C. alliteration

Explanation:

Repetition

Repetition is the use of any element of language—a sound, word, phrase, clause, or sentence—more than once. Poets use many kinds of repetition to add emphasis, drama, or musical rhythm to a poem.

Rhyming is a form of repetition in which the sound is repeated. Now you will learn about two other types of repetition used in lyric poetry: refrain and alliteration.

Refrain

A refrain is a line or group of lines repeated throughout a poem. A refrain can be

a line or two of verse that comes at the end of a stanza; or

a stanza that is repeated regularly throughout the poem.

In musical terms, the repeated lines sung after a stanza are called a chorus.

Alliteration

Alliteration is the repetition of the same consonant sound, such as many Mondays, or dazzling dream. This type of sound repetition can occur at the beginning, middle, or end of the word.
