To stomp about the world ignoring cultural differences is arrogant, to be sure, but perhaps there is another kind of arrogance in the presumption that we may ever really build a faultless bridge from one shore to another, or even know where the mist has ceded to landfall. When I finally arrived at Ground Zero in Hiroshima, I stood speechless. What I found there was a vast and exquisitely silent monument to forgiveness. I was moved beyond words, even beyond tears, to think of all that can be lost or gained in the gulf between any act of will and its consequences. In the course of every failure of understanding, we have so much to learn.
Explanation:
PART A: Which statement identifies the central idea of the text?
Answer:
In the face of failure, it’s beneficial for people to focus on the things they can control, including how they respond to the failure.
Explanation:
Bethany Brookshire's "Lessons From Failure: Why we try, try again" talks about people's reactions to failure and how we respond to it. The informational text also talks about why we try, try again despite numerous failures.
In the text, the author states how failure is a normal part of human life. But at the same time, it is upon us how we respond to such failures. And throughout the text, she presents the central idea of how "rethinking our emotional responses seems to help" is the ideal recourse.
The statement that best identifies the central idea of the text is that in the face of failure, it is beneficial to focus on the things that we can control rather than brood over it. Also, remaining calm and positive despite the failures is important.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

In this scenario, Kristin is reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein for class while taking note of the setting, especially the mountains.
Consequently, Kristin thinks about how mountains are set apart from the rest of society and begins to think about what impact this has on the literary work itself. Thus, we can safely deduce and conclude that Kristin is interpreting the book.

Choose one of the following prompts for your narrative:
Write a personal narrative, or memoir, about a time when you had a problem communicating with someone. Think about what caused the problem and how it was resolved. Consider events and actions that caused the problem and what you learned from the event.
Answer and Explanation:
Hi. This question requires a personal answer, based on your own experiences. however, I'm going to show you an answer and hope you can use it as a template to create your own answer.
I usually have difficulties to communicate with my family when I'm facing difficulties that make me sad and with weakened mental health. This difficulty occurs because, in these moments, I feel weakened, without energy and I have no hope that someone will understand my problems. The last time this happened was when I was worried about the future and what my situation would be like a few years from now. I felt very anxious and devastated by these thoughts although I wanted to talk to someone about it, I was very scared and ashamed and I kept it all inside myself, which only made the situation worse. However, my mother noticed how crestfallen I was and started talking to me, giving me confidence to talk about my thoughts. In this case, I managed to learn that we shouldn't keep our problems to ourselves, but look for someone we trust to talk to and take a weight off our conscience, because even if communication doesn't solve our problems, it can give us a certain comfort, the that will improve our situation.

The aim of opinion writing, or persuasive writing, is to have your reader agree with your opinion/ point of view by the time they finish reading your work. This is a chance to use your persuasive skills, and your writing expertise to convince them that your stance on a particular issue or topic is the right one. This can be anything from your favourite ice cream flavour (mint chocolate chip!) to the political party you support.
There are 3 main ways to frame your written arguments (or reasons) that will change your readers mind:
1. Logic: using reason or common sense is one way of helping to prove why your stance on a particular issue is the right one. For example, if I wanted to persuade you that mint chocolate chip was the best ice cream flavour (it definitely is), I might say that when you eat it, you feel refreshed, which is the exact feeling you want on a hot summer day. The logic of wanting to feel refreshed on a hot summer day is the logical argument I used to make my point.
2. Emotion: pulling at the heartstrings of your audience, or "hitting them in the feels" as the kids say, is another very effective way to persuade someone to agree with you. As an example, think of the ads that you see on TV for the SPCA, or to donate money to a cause from a developing country. Showing the sad faces of pets and children make the audience feel emotional; upset and guilty, so we pick up the phone to donate.
3. Expertise: being able to speak with authority/expertise on a specific topic, is the final way to form an argument. If you are someone who does a lot of gaming, and you are trying to tell me which video game is the best in terms of quality and overall experience, I would be inclined to believe you since you know a lot about the gaming community and would be able to give accurate information.
Now that we know more about the specific ways you can argue/persuade/defend your opinion on any given topic, let's try out our new skill!
Below are some questions where I will ask you to pick ONE of two things. Your task is to tell me which one is better, and WHY. For example, use persuasive writing to tell me why Coke is better than Pepsi. Once you have done this, reread your writing and tell me if your argument was one of logic, emotion, or expertise.
Example: Hot OR Cold? Cold is always better than hot. In cold weather, you can bundle up in cute, cozy clothes, and snuggle with your pets to keep warm. In hot weather, I feel yucky and grumpy. Here, I used emotional arguments.
*Your answers will be more detailed, but I included the above just so you have an idea of what I am asking for.
*Written responses should be a paragraph EACH.
1. McDonald's OR Wendy's ?
2. Coke OR Pepsi?

Like other Hemingway characters, Santiago is very much alone, "beyond all people in the world" (p. 50); yet he says, "No man was ever alone on the sea" (p. 61). Why? Does he feel joined with the creatures and universe or strengthened and sustained by them in any way? Do his dreams of the lions or reflections about his earlier strength support him?
Answer and Explanation:
Santiago feels that no man is alone when he is at sea, because he knows that the sea is full of creatures and that when a man enters that environment, he becomes one of those creatures, as he faces the same dangers and reaps the same benefits. Therefore, this man becomes a sea creature and is accompanied by a number of other sea creatures, who will never leave him while he is at sea. He feels united with the creatures of the sea and supported by them at the same time. This feeling of belonging to the sea and the creatures that inhabit it is an inner reflection of Santiago, which is extended to any place in nature, as we can see through his dreams of lions, as he associates youthfulness, strength and behavior that he already had a day.
It is important to remember that Santiago is a character in "The Old Man and the Sea", a book that shows how an extremely strong fish, stimulates reflections on life, death, youth and time to Santiago, an old fisherman, tired and no luck.
Question 5
Why does Reagan mention of synagogues and mosques in his speech at
Moscow State University?
Answer:
President Ronald Reagan mentioned synagogues and mosques to emphasize on the issue of democracy and the freedom that America offers to its residents, be it legal or non-legal residents.
Explanation:
On May 31, 1988, President Ronald Reagan gave a speech in front of students of Moscow State University as part of his trip to ensure good relations with the newly reformed Soviet Union. This visit was also a part of his efforts to build better relations with the new Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and his reform plans for the Soviet Union.
But President Reagan also took the chance to bring to the Soviet attention the importance of democracy. His speech was more of like a promotional campaign for the new leader, Gorbachev. He stated, "Go to any American town, to take just an example, and you'll see dozens of churches, representing many different beliefs -- in many places, synagogues and mosques -- and you'll see families of every conceivable nationality worshiping together."
This statement was part of his strategy to promote Gorbachev as the best leader to lead the Soviet Union into a new democratic government. And through this example of America's democratic approach, Reagan seems to promote the idea of democracy as something beneficial for the public.
