Reread lines 35-44. What impact on his argument does the author have by mentioning his famous sea-exploring father and grandfather?
You may think I’m doing my grandfather Jacques Yves-
Cousteau and my father Philippe a disservice when I say
we’ve only dipped our toes in the water when it comes to
ocean exploration. After all, my grandfather co-invented
the modern SCUBA system and “The Undersea World of
Jacques Cousteau” introduced generations to the wonders of
the ocean. In the decades since, we’ve only explored about
10 percent of the ocean—an essential resource and complex
environment that literally supports life as we know it, life
on earth.

What are two (2) different types of conflict in "The Lottery"? Provide
textual evidence for each to prove your answer. *
Answer: 1) Conflicts of Character vs Society, 2) Conflicts of Character vs Supernatural
Explanation:
1) The main conflict of "The Lottery" revolves around the close-minded villagers against the "rebel" woman that questioned the old method of "the lottery". In the line: "she held her hands out desperately as the villagers moved in on her", you read about the stone confrontation between The Character and the Society.
2) In literature, Conflicts of Character vs Supernatural include "fate", which Tessie faces. Despite complaining about the non-sense tradition, she is tied to the patriarchal rules and is destined to be sacrificed. In the line: “It isn’t fair,” she said. A stone hit her on the side of the head", you can see that at the end of the story, her words didn't matter to her destiny.
Write a paragraph summarizing the conflict and resolution in this story. Be sure to include the problem, the solution, and the effect (outcome).

Among employees who had volunteered, ninety-four percent said that it had benefited at work. Students looking to improve their resumes should consider volunteering. What is the best transition to add at the beginning of the third sentence? Although, Conversely, In addition, In conclusion,
Hello!
Answer:[tex]\boxed{ \bf The~correct~answer~is~C.~In~addition.}[/tex]
_______________________________________________
Explanation:Although does not fit, since it basically means "even though". If you substitute those words in, the sentence will not make sense since.
Conversely means to reverse a statement. So, you're trying to reverse the previous sentence when you use it. As you can see, sentence three only adds on to sentence two. It does not try to say the opposite of it.
In conclusion is a transition that you add when you are concluding or finishing something. You will add it at the end of the paragraph or idea.
Therefore, this leaves us with only one option--In addition.

The simile comparing Allie's hair to a waterfall suggests that her hair is long and beautiful.
Answer: The simile comparing Allie's hair to a waterfall suggests that her hair is long and beautiful.
Explanation: It is not the first answer because is a waterfall beautiful? Yes. Is a waterfall shy? Absolutely not. Waterfalls are loud. It is not the second answer because do girls envy other girls because they are loud and forceful? No. They would probably be scared of her! It is not the third answer because yes, while her black hair is dark, why would they envy her because her hair is wet? Who wants to walk around with wet hair? It is the last answer because girls probably would be envious of Allie because her hair is long and beautiful. Those are two things that most girls would probably want in their hair, and those descriptions match up perfectly with what a waterfall is like.
Allie's black hair was like a waterfall of curls, making her the envy of many other girls. Allie is beautiful and shy, according to the simile that compares her to a waterfall.

A simile is a figure of speech that compares two things directly. Similes differ from metaphors in that they emphasize the similarities between two things by using comparison words like "like," "as," "so," or "than," whereas metaphors create an implicit comparison (i.e. saying something "is" something else).
The etymology of the words demonstrates this distinction: simile derives from the Latin word similis ("similar, like"), whereas metaphor derives from the Greek word metapherein ("to transfer").

Please guys its urgent
Answer:
Hopkins vividly conveys thoughts and feelings about the bird by showing how it feels prisoner and comparing it to the human being.
Explanation:

Still they both have good times where they sometimes sing the sweetest spells.
According to the poet, the soul of each person seeks to fly freely, that is, to leave the cage that is the body and rise high towards the sky.

B. creating an image in the reader’s mind of the sailors in a small boat in a vast and angry sea.
C. including humor about the situation the sailors have found themselves in.
D. connecting facts about the open ocean to sailing information.
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
"The Open Boat" is a short story penned by Stephen Crane. The story is about the real-life experience of Crane when he was shipwrecked to Florida while on his way to Cuba.
The second paragraph of the story appeals to the sight of the readers. This paragraph helps the reader visualize a boat that is smaller than a 'bath-tub' and fighting its coarse with the rough and tall waves. The sea appears to be angry and creating barbarously rapid and tall waves that is tossing the small boat.
So, the correct answer is option B.
Highlight the details that appeal to the senses of sight and hearing. :
At night I would lie in bed and watch the show, how bees squeezed through the cracks of my bedroom wall and flew circles around the room, making that propeller sound, a high-pitched zzzzzz that hummed along my skin. I watched their wings shining like bits of chrome in the dark and felt the longing build in my chest. The way those bees flew, not even looking for a flower, just flying for the feel of the wind, split my heart down its seam. During the day I heard them tunneling through the walls of my bedroom, sounding like a radio tuned to static in the next room, and I imagined them in there turning the walls into honeycombs, with honey seeping out for me to taste.
In this text, the author uses imagery in order to create a clear and vivid picture in the mind of the reader.
Imagery refers to the use of figurative language in order to describe the objects or events that appear in a story. In this example, the author uses imagery to appeal to the sense of sight and hearing.
The author refers to the sense of sight when he describes watching the bees come in and fly around the room. He also uses it when describing their shiny wings.
On the other hand, the author refers to the sense of hearing when he describes the humming noise the bees made. He also refers to it when he talks about the bees "sounding like a radio tuned to static."

Which line from William Blake's "The Tyger" contains the CLEAREST example of symbolism?
"In the forests of the night.."
"Dare its deadly terrors clasp?"
"And when thy heart began to beat...."
"Did he who made the Lamb make thee?"
Answer:
The correct answer is "In the forests of the night.."
Explanation:
Let's start by clarifying what symbolism is. This tool used in literature is used to give an alternative meaning to an object, situation or person. This meaning is usually deeper than what is being talked about in the story in general.
Here we have " In the forests of the night " it could symbolize fear of sleep or darkness.
The nights do not have forests, so we should not take into account their literary meaning.
