Read the following paragraph:
"Humans have a natural tendency to focus on the negative: studies show our brains react to and remember unpleasant experiences
about five times more strongly than pleasant ones. This may have helped our ancestors survive in the wild when they were constantly
surrounded by dangers, but these days it can lead to depression rather than safety. Psychologists say that we can overcome this instinct by
deliberately choosing to celebrate small occasions and successes. The practice, they say, has a number of benefits. In the short term,
smiling and laughing release chemicals that improve mood and feelings of well-being. Over time, learning to focus on the positive
develops skills for maintaining self-esteem and increases overall happiness. It can even lead to the formation of new pathways in the brain
that make easier to cope with negative emotions."
List the cause(s) and effect(s) in the reading.
cause: depression, bad moods, unhappiness
effect: celebrate small things
cause: celebrating small events and accomplishments
effect: releases mood-elevating chemicals, enhances coping skills, leads to new brain pathways, increases happiness
cause: self-esteem, happiness, coping mechanisms, new mental pathways
effect: increased ability to appreciate small positive experiences
cause: increased happiness in daily life, reduced safety in dangerous situations
effect: focus on the positive

Interpret. The phrase “a sea change” has a literal meaning in Ariel’s song but is today used in a more figurative way. What might it mean to say that someone or something has experienced a sea change?

This battle with Mr. Covey was the turning-point in my career as a slave. It rekindled the few expiring embers of freedom, and revived within me a sense of my own manhood. It recalled the departed self-confidence, and inspired me again with a determination to be free. The gratification afforded by the triumph was a full compensation for whatever else might follow, even death itself. He only can understand the deep satisfaction which I experienced, who has himself repelled by force the bloody arm of slavery. I felt as I never felt before. It was a glorious resurrection, from the tomb of slavery, to the heaven of freedom. My long-crushed spirit rose, cowardice departed, bold defiance took its place; and
I now resolved that, however long I might remain a slave in form, the day had passed forever when I could be a slave in fact. I did not hesitate to let it be known of me, that the white man who expected to succeed in whipping, must also succeed in killing me. From this time I was never again what might be called fairly whipped, though I remained a slave four years afterwards. I had several fights, but was never whipped. It was for a long time a matter of surprise to me why Mr. Covey did not immediately have me taken by the constable to the whipping-post, and there regularly whipped for the crime of raising my hand against a white man in defence of myself. And the only explanation I can now think of does not entirely satisfy me; but such as it is, I will give it. Mr. Covey enjoyed the most unbounded reputation for being a first-rate overseer and negro-breaker. It was of considerable importance to him. That reputation was at stake; and had he sent me--a boy about sixteen years old--to the public whipping-post, his reputation would have been lost; so, to save his reputation, he suffered me to go unpunished.

argumentative essay about is competition really good

Read the following text from a student essay. How can the writer best improve his or her organization? Competition can add a great deal of stress to students' lives. Like it or not, it's a part of classrooms, sports, and other after-school activities. For one, it can motivate students to work harder to achieve their goals. When students are challenged to strive for excellence, they often accomplish much more than what they may have initially expected. Also, even when students don't win at something, they still learn a valuable lesson: how to be a good sport about losing. However, even though it can be stressful, there are several reasons why students benefit from a little friendly competition.
