Imagine that you have been asked to give a graduation speech. Which elements should you avoid when writing the speech?
(MULTIPLE CHOICE)
A. a strictly formal, argumentative tone
B. the graduating students' accomplishments
C. funny quotes from other students
D. unpleasant remarks about a teacher
E. simple sentence constructions
Answer:
A. a strictly formal, argumentative tone
D. unpleasant remarks about a teacher
E. simple sentence constructions
Explanation:
You definitely want to avoid D because you could absolutely get in trouble with them.
You completely want to avoid A because those who are listening to you will become bored and when speaking, this isn't a lecture/ debate contest, it's graduating speech. You're freaking graduating and you shouldn't argue about that.
For E, I don't know what to say to that, but just... avoid it.
Answer:
You should avoid D. Unpleasant remarks about a teacher.
Explanation:
In a graduation speech, you would mainly want to speak about accomplisments and good things about the school year. Unpleasant remarks about a teacher don't really fit into the "good things" category. Yes, it might be funny to the other students, but not everyone would like it if someone said that during a graduation speech.

What structural adaptation of the A. cristatus lizard helps them in the water?
The Amblyrhynchus, a remarkable genus of lizards, is confined to this archipelago; there are two species, resembling each other in general form, one being terrestrial and the other aquatic. This latter species (A. cristatus) was first characterized . . . from its short, broad head, and strong claws of equal length, that its habits of life would turn out very peculiar, and different from those of its nearest ally, the iguana. It is extremely common on all the islands throughout the group, and lives exclusively on the rocky sea-beaches, being never found . . . even ten yards in-shore. It is a hideous-looking creature of a dirty black colour, stupid, and sluggish in its movements. The usual length of a full-grown one is about a yard, but there are some even four feet long; a large one weighed twenty pounds: on the island of Albemarle, they seem to grow to a greater size than elsewhere. Their tails are flattened sideways, and all four feet partially webbed. They are occasionally seen some hundred yards from the shore, swimming about; and Captain Collnett, in his voyage says, “They go to sea in herds a-fishing, and sun themselves on the rocks; and may be called alligators in miniature.” It must not, however, be supposed that they live on fish. When in the water, this lizard swims with perfect ease and quickness, by a serpentine movement of its body and flattened tail—the legs being motionless and closely collapsed on its sides. A seaman on board sank one with a heavy weight attached to it, thinking thus to kill it directly, but when an hour afterwards, he drew up the line, it was quite active. Their limbs and strong claws are admirably adapted for crawling over the rugged and fissured masses of lava, which everywhere from the coast. In such situations, a group of six or seven of these hideous reptiles may oftentimes be seen on the black rocks, a few feet above the surf, basking in the sun with outstretched legs.

Think about Sense and Sensibility. Setting aside the secret engagement of Edward and Lucy, the shyness and social propriety with which Edward and Elinor behave toward each other, and the dramatic events in Marianne's life that distract Elinor, there is an ever-present hindrance to the possibility of Edward and Elinor marrying: money. How do the characters perceive of the uses of money and of the problems of the lack of money? In an essay of at least 250 words, and using details from the text, discuss the novel's ongoing concern with money as it dictates matrimony
"Sense and sensitivity" was written at a time when women could not receive any inheritance from their parents and that is what most affects the events that occur in the life of Marianne Elinor.
This time is also marked by marriages formed without love between the characters, but established in how much money and goods that marriage would provide, which also creates many problems for the lives of the two sisters. That's because their father died and, although he was a wealthy man, he had to leave all the goods to their half brother, who lets them go through serious economic difficulties. Thus, both are not considered good candidates for marriage, since they would not provide any benefit to the future husband, which alienates most men.
Elinor is in love with Edward, who also loves her, but besides being committed to another woman, he was disowned by his mother and has no income or job. Besides being already engaged, he would not be able to support a home where he and Elinor could live. Marianne, on the other hand, is in love with a handsome guy who seems to have a lot of possessions, but the truth is that he also has no money and ends up marrying a wealthy woman, who can change his economic situation.
The lack of money is a very strong subject in "Sense and sensitivity", because in addition to preventing the sisters from being with the men they love, it keeps away possible suitors who could help them, leaving them so concerned with their social positions, civil status and factors related to their survival.

In the Transall saga book How does the main character Mark show resilience in the novel The Transall Saga? Give TWO examples from the story of Mark being resilient.
Be sure to describe, in detail, each situation in which Mark shows resilience and then explain why you believe this to be an example of resilience.
Answer:
Resilience is the ability to go through or endure hard and trying times usually crises or life threatening situations.
Explanation:
A person is said to be resilient when he exhibits the capacity to endure hard and trying times
Mark Harrison, the teenage character in the Transall saga, showed tremendous resilience in his bid for survival when he was transported to a strange jungle-like planet from his hiking trip on earth.
I would explain with the following examples:
1) When Mark Harrison found himself in an unfamiliar jungle-like environment on touching a mysterious blue light whilst hiking, he was attacked by a animal that looked like a buffalo.
His resilience came to the fore when he instinctively climbed up a tree in a bid to escape and save his life from the charging animal.
Whilst on the tree, he was bitten by scorpion-looking insects who invaded his clothes. Again in an instinctive show of survival, he quickly removed his clothes to avoid the sting of the attacking insects. When he was ravaged by hunger and thirst, he attempted to drink rain water (which tasted funny in his mouth) and actually ate insects for food.
This is a show of resilience because had he not taken those instinctive survival steps, Mark would have been killed by the buffalo and scorpion-like insects.
2) His resilience came to bear again when a tribal community known as the Tsooks captured him from the Arrow community where he lived for awhile, and locked him up in an animal pen.
He dug himself out of the animal pen and escaped briefly from the Tsooks. In a rare display of loyalty , he went back to inform the Tsook community of an impending attack from another tribal community in the jungle village
Compare and contrast the characters of Miss Temple and Miss Scatcherd from Jane Eyre, explaining how each functions as a model for Jane. Your answer should be at least 250 words.
Answer:
Explanation:
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë is a story about an orphaned girl that lived with her aunt and cousins, until one day after being bullied and locked, she is sent to a religious boarding school, named Loowod Institute where she meets Helen Burns and finds her first real friend, Helen Burns. Helen dies after a brief friendship with Jane but she makes a real impact in Jane's character.
Jane Eyre is a girl that tries to blend in as a wallflower but she has a strong character, she evolves with every event in her life, she analyzes every situation that happens to her, and has a strong sense for justice due to the abuse she suffered as a child; in Loowod, Jane founds her first friend Helen Burns, even though they are the same age Helen acts as a teacher to Jane because of her advanced knowledges; Helen is a role model to Jane and even after her dead Jane manages to survive and study hard so she finally becomes a teacher and later a governess.
Helen Burns is a devoted religious girl, who dreams about finding her place in Heaven and trusts God with blind faith, she is caring, compassionate and has a developed intellectual maturity for her age.
Helen Burns acts as a foil to Jane, because her submissive character and blind faiths highlights Jane's strong character, while Helen dreams about finding her place and love in Heaven, Jane dreams about finding love and a home in this world, Helen's philosophy towards justice is that God is the only one that has the power to judge, so she turns the other cheek when girls bully her, and while Jane is amazed by Helen's attitude she is not able to adopt it.
Miss Temple is the kind and fair-minded superintendent of Lowood School, who plays an important role in the emotional development of Jane Eyre. Miss Temple is described by Helen as being "good and very clever" and "above the rest because she knows far more than they do". Miss Scatcherd appears to have some kind of vendetta against one of her pupils, Helen Burns. This is shown when she berates Helen for extremely petty reasons multiple times in one class. She later turns even worse when she canes twelve times Helen for having dirty nails and calls her a slattern, despite the fact that she could not clean them because the water was frozen.
