Answer:
Fiction/Poetry Techniques: Since creative non-fiction writing is such a hybrid and multi-faceted genre, it's often helpful to use/borrow techniques from fiction or poetry. Scenes, dialogue, narrative structure, setting, and an emphasis on language are all important aspects of creative nonfiction as well.
Explanation:
If you could control the brain of a rat with your thoughts, what would you tell it to do? Perhaps you'd to tell it to go away. Or, if you were feeling mischievous, maybe you'd encourage it to creep into a sibling's bed or scurry across the floor of a crowded room. For proof-of-concept, scientists kept it simple. They asked human volunteers to move a rat's tail simply by thinking about it—a feat they actually accomplished, with the aid of brain-to-brain interface technologies that transmitted electrical signals from the human to the rat brain.
The experiment, which was reported recently in the journal PLoS ONE, was based on computer-to-brain interfacing with electroencephalography (EEG) in humans and focused brain ultrasound in rats. The humans conveyed their intention of moving the rats' tails by watching a computer display of a flickering strobe light. EEG captured the electrical activity associated with their thought processes while watching the strobe. When EEG signals became synchronized with signals from the visual stimuli, a spike in signal amplitude occurred, which was detected by the computer and subsequently relayed to the ultrasound electronics, triggering a burst of focused ultrasound to the rat brain. The burst, focused onto a specific area of the motor cortex in the brain of the anesthetized rat, ultimately produced a flick of the tail. (See a video of the experiment here.)
The ability to control the thoughts of others is of special interest in the study of cognitive processes, and it could find applications in neurotherapy or even as a novel mode of communication in "brain-to-brain coupling." The practicality of these applications, however, remains to be explored.
In the meantime, in highlighting the fine line between fiction and reality, the new study gives us plenty to think about. Indeed, Ratatouille could become more human-like than he ever imagined.
What is the main point of this article?
Answer:
That we can control the cognitive thoughts of others in certain circumstances and that ratouille might be more human-like than we thought.
Read this excerpt from "Life Without Go-Go Boots" by Barbara Kingsolver and answer the question.
We lived in the country, in the middle of an alfalfa field; we had no immediate access to Bobbie Brooks
sweaters. I went to school in the hand-me-downs of a cousin three years older. She had excellent fashion
sense, but during the three-year lag her every sleek outfit turned to a pumpkin.2 ... My black lace-up oxfords,
which my parents perceived to have orthopedic value, carried their own weight in the spectacle. I suspected
people noticed, and I knew it for sure on the day Billy Stamps announced to the lunch line, "Make way for the
Bride of Frankenstein."4
Which of the numbered sentences from the excerpt shows the most commentary and why?
1 - says something about family's social and economic status
2 - is about fairy tales
3- is about medical value of shoes
4- quotes popular culture
Answer:
1 - says something about family's social and economic status
Explanation:
Sentence 1 situates us in relation to history. This is because it presents the family's financial situation, showing that they did not have enough money to buy clothes, needing donations from the family, that they donated low quality clothes and that evidenced the family's economic situation, causing embarrassing episodes to the narrator of the text , as Frankenstein's bride compares her on account of the ugly patched clothes and shoes.
Answer:
1 - says something about family's social and economic status

Kiche licked White Fang soothingly with her tongue, and tried to prevail upon him to remain with her. But his curiosity was rampant, and several minutes later
he was venturing forth on a new quest. He came upon one of the man-animals, Grey Beaver, who was squatting on his hams and doing something with sticks
and dry moss spread before him on the ground. White Fang came near to him and watched. Grey Beaver made mouth-noises which White Fang interpreted as
not hostile, so he came still nearer

Read the excerpt from "Bone Detective," by Lorraine Jean Hopping.
At her lab she mixed the alginate powder with water to form a paste. Standing in front of a mirror, she scooped up a blob and spread it on her tongue. She pressed it down with her fingers to get out any air bubbles. Not bad, she thought. Tastes just like spearmint. She decided to make an extra-thick mold to make it easier to peel off. So, she added another gloopy blog—and another.
With her thickened tongue hanging out, Diane padded around the lab doing odds and ends while the material set. After about 10 minutes, she peeled off the alginate slowly and carefully. It was fragile—bendable and easy to tear—but it made an excellent impression of her tongue.

Write a paragraph that compares and contrasts how the idea you identified in part B is developed in “Digital Divisions” and the My Media podcast . Use what you’ve learned in the lesson’s analysis of “Digital Divisions” and your own analysis of the passage and podcast. Be sure to cite and explain your evidence. Consult the My Media podcast transcript, if needed.
Answer:
A person sits with one object and one goal: obtaining information from the text. a person is at a greater risk of distraction and might veer off course. A topic that lends itself to audio storytelling, and a topic that has a natural community. Good equipment and clear audio. Podcast is the audio device that works difitally to get downloaded in computing devices such as computer, mobile phones, laptops etc. from internet source. It download audio files so that any user can listen to the audio on their particular devices. It usually present in form of episode or series in MP3 form. Podcast are not the best devices that can circulate information at present time. It can only spread audio files.
Explanation:
Answer:
The print text “Digital Divisions” and the My Media podcast both emphasize the changing ways in which people communicate information, but they reinforce these ideas using different methods. “Digital Divisions” uses a compare-contrast structure. The passage is divided into sections discussing the merits of digital and print texts to show that the “divide is over the worth and benefit of technology itself.” By emphasizing the word divide and splitting the text into two main paragraphs, “Digital Division” stresses the conflict and tension of differing views of technology. The My Media podcast emphasizes multiple ideas through multiple speakers. These speakers enthusiastically respond to one another using exclamations like “Definitely!” to draw the attention of listeners to specific points. The podcast also focuses more on the elements of media, with an emphasis on how “sound and film had a huge impact.” This reinforces the idea of change but looks more at the role a specific form of media plays and takes a more positive view.
