Writing prompt: Write a compare-and-contrast analysis of how culture shapes the heroes in Heart of a Samurai and Black Ships Before Troy. Use transition words in your draft to help clarify relationships of ideas.

Answer: The pic is what I put for the first part then for the rough draft I put: Manjiro and Achilles cultures helped to shape them in different ways. Lets start with Manjiro. His culture shaped him to be respectful and relatively quiet but also a curious person. His culture taught him that he would have to follow the family line of jobs on his fathers side of his family. Achilles culture shaped him to be rather courageous and strong, maybe religious, but it also shaped him to be rather reckless. His culture taught him that if he went to battle he would most likely live a short life but be remembered by generations to come. Although, both of the boys cultures had a similar view on strength.

And for the final draft:

Every fossil tells a story. A paleontologist is a scientist who studies fossils to learn what life was like on planet Earth long ago. Fossilized footprints help us understand an animal’s anatomy, size, weight and even behavior. We can see if it traveled in groups or tended to live alone. Fossilized teeth can give us hints about an animal’s diet. We can even learn about the landscape where a plant or animal lived. If there are fish fossils in what is now a desert, we might hypothesize that the landscape was once a body of water. Learning more about those fish fossils—like their age and what kind of water they lived in—will help us learn even more.

Paleontologist are most like detectives who use fossils as

A. clues.
B. theories.
C. suspects.
D. witnesses.

Read the text below. What is another statement the author could add to support their position? Schools should not require every student in kindergarten through 12th grade to play a daily team sport. Playing team sports helps some children learn skills, but some children are not athletic and do not want to play on a sports team. Values, such as respect, can be taught in academic clubs or even in music. Working in cooperative groups, or on public service projects, can also help children learn teamwork. With an already full academic load, schools do not have time to have students play on a sports team during school hours.

Okay 15 points! Answer fast plz!
Megan was running late for school. Only this time, it wasn’t her fault. It was her Dad’s.

“I know my keys are around here somewhere,” he said. “Will you help me look, Meg?” He’d been frantically looking for his keys for the last 10 minutes.

Megan rolled her eyes in response and pretended to look for the keys. She was too annoyed to actually help, though. Her dad had a bad habit of misplacing things—and not just simple things like keys or a wallet. It wasn’t uncommon for Megan’s dad to take the ice cream out of the freezer, go grab a spoon and bowl, and then forget where he put the ice cream. Days later, he’d find it melted in a random kitchen cabinet. At this point, Megan was fed up.

“Dad, I don’t see your keys anywhere. Are you sure they’re in the house?” Megan called out to her dad.

“Well, of course! Where else would they be?” her dad called back.

“Have you looked outside? Remember that time your keys were in the recycling bin in the garage?”

Megan’s dad chuckled. “Good point! I still don’t know how they got there, but I’ll go check in the garage. And in the trash can, for good measure.”

Megan smiled to herself. She really did love her dad, flaws and all. Suddenly, she heard her dad yell out from the garage. Megan raced outside.

“Look at this, Meg!” her dad said, gesturing to his car. “My keys were in the car, and it was already running. Did you start the car earlier to warm it up and forget?”

“No, Dad,” said Megan, fighting back the urge to roll her eyes again. “I’m pretty sure you must have done that.”

“I sure don’t remember. But then, I never do! Come on, let’s get you to school before I lose the car.”

Megan and her dad got in the car. “Just another day with my dad,” thought Megan, grinning to herself.

What role does the dialogue play in this passage?

A.
