The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe
#5 Why is flung a more effective word for the author to use than open? Select two options.
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door—
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door—
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Please help i need to write a persuasive essay over daylight saving time and don't know how. Here's the template. I need this fast it's due by 9:40
Why should we have daylight saving time?
More daylight also could mean more outdoor exercise (or exercise at all) for full-time workers. The nominal reason for daylight saving time has long been to save energy.
Advantages of Daylight Saving time:
1. There’s more light to enjoy in the evening.
What’s better: Only a fleeting moment of daylight before work (and driving home in the dark) or being able to enjoy the daylight well into the evening hours? That’s what we thought. More light = more time to do what you want or need to do = a happier you.
2. The crime rate drops during daylight saving time.
Research has shown that robbery rates after daylight saving time fall an average of 7 percent, with a much larger 27 percent drop during those light-filled evening hours that didn’t exist before the time change. Mind. Blown.
3. It minimizes energy consumption (and lowers your costs).
When you enjoy more natural daylight, you use less artificial light — and that makes a real impact on the overall cost of energy consumption.
4. It lowers the incidence of traffic accidents.
Like driving home in the daylight versus the darkness, driving is easier when you can see your surroundings and where you’re going, right? Duh! Studies actually show that we could save hundreds of lives per year if we implemented daylight saving time year-round.
5. Light is one of those objects that helps us feel safer. We may leave our house lights on at night or while we’re away. We may also decorate our landscape with additional fixtures to help light up our homes, all in an effort to help us feel safer.
Why shouldn't we have daylight saving time?
There are individual health concerns. Switching to Daylight Saving Time is associated with cardiovascular morbidity, a higher risk of a heart attack or stroke, and an increase in hospital admissions for irregular heartbeats. It is not good for your health as it goes against your body's circadian rhythm that helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle.
Disadvantages of Daylight Saving time:
1.People are unusually sleepy on the following Monday.
2.Increase in heart attack risk on the following Monday.
3.Initial spike in traffic accidents in the first week of daylight saving time.
4.Some people never adjust to time change resulting in decreased quality of life and health issues.
5.The time change can make people sick.
Must a person challenge authority to be a hero?
Answer:
No
Explanation:
A person does not have to directly challenge someone or an authority figure to be considered a hero. A lot of people are heros by helping in the background. For example, someone could be considered heroic for picking up trash, giving to charity, saving an animal or person in need, volunteering to help businesses, etc. Though you may not be considered a hero like in the comic books there are many things an average human can do to be heroic without directly involving themselves in conflict.

80 choose the aquarium.
60 choose the science center.
30 choose the planetarium.
40 choose the farm.
The teacher wants to figure out the relative frequency of a student choosing the aquarium. He will then estimate how many students out of all 1000 at the school are likely to choose the aquarium.
4) Write and solve a proportion that the teacher can use to estimate how many students in the whole school would choose the aquarium. Show your work.

Read this passage from "Types of Volcanoes" and then look at the image.
Volcanoes are structures formed around openings (vents) in the ground where molten lava, ash, or gas escape from inside the Earth. We have all heard of lava, but not everyone knows how it forms. Deep inside the Earth, rock that melted long ago beneath the Earth's crust forms magma, a very hot liquid that mixes with dissolved gases and crystals. When this magma flows up above Earth's surface, it is called lava.

A Flag with 50 Stars
The first American flag to have red and white stripes and white stars on a blue field was flown in 1776, shortly after the United States declared its independence from Great Britain. Legend has it that a Philadelphia seamstress named Betsy Ross was hired by George Washington himself to create this flag. There is no evidence that this legend is true, and no one knows for certain who made the first flag, which had 13 stars and 13 stripes. However, we know for a fact that the first flag to have 50 stars—the one we have today—was designed by a high school student.
In 1958, Bob Heft was a 17-year-old student at Lancaster High School in Ohio. At that time, the United States had only 48 states but was on the verge of accepting two more: Alaska and Hawaii. The U.S. flag at the time had six neat rows of eight stars each. What would be the best way to add two more stars while keeping the arrangement neat and orderly? This was the question that Bob’s history teacher posed to the class.
The teacher gave the students an assignment: design a flag with 50 stars. Bob spent hours in the attic of his house, cutting up a 48-star flag and rearranging the stars until they fit just right. He was pleased with his solution to the problem, but his teacher found it less than perfect and gave him a B minus. Outraged, Bob told his teacher that he was going to send his design to his member of Congress, Walter Moeller. His teacher replied that if Bob’s design was accepted as the new flag, he would be more than happy to change the grade to an A.
A year later, Bob had graduated and was working as a draftsman when he received a call at work. He never would have imagined a call from President Eisenhower—but that's who it was! Now that Alaska and Hawaii had been admitted as states, Congressman Moeller had succeeded in having Bob's design chosen as the new U.S. flag. Bob Heft was invited to Washington, D.C., for a ceremony during which his design was officially adopted as the new flag of the United States.
Read the excerpt from “A Flag with 50 Stars.”
Now that Alaska and Hawaii had been admitted as states, Congressman Moeller had succeeded in having Bob's design chosen as the new U.S. flag.
How do these sentences contribute to the text?
They develop the idea that, without Congressman Moeller, there would not be a new U.S flag.
They imply that the people of Alaska and Hawaii prefer Bob's design over other options.
They show it takes several years for the U.S. government to approve a new flag design.
They develop the idea that Bob's design is exceptional, despite what his teacher thought.

First, you’ll wanna use a hook to grab the reader’s attention. Then, relate your hook to your topic. Next, you’ll want to create a bridge. A bridge is just a few sentences of background information to close the gap between your hook and your thesis. Lastly, you’ll want to create a strong thesis with all of your main points.
Explanation:
For example, if I were to write an essay about the influences behind George Orwell’s Animal Farm it could go something like this.
Whether it be a child going against their parents or an uprising against higher powers, rebellion seems to be common throughout history. The first Russian Revolution occurred in 1905 to kick out the irresponsible, thoughtless tsar, Czar Nicholas II. After a successful revolution, the communist party gained control of what was turned into Soviet Russia. However, a dictatorship, unknown to the people of Soviet Russia, began to form. Eric Blair was a spectator on the sidelines of this heinous and rapidly growing country. He decided to publish his feelings through a book called Animal Farm under the alias George Orwell. George Orwell’s Animal Farm reflects the effects of Communism spreading, the Russian Revolution’s failures and outcomes, and the poor treatment of people in Soviet Russia as shown through the effects of Old Major’s speech and Napoleon’s oppressive, tyrannical ways.
“Whether it be a child going against their parents or an uprising against higher powers, rebellion seems to be common throughout history.” is my hook. Since I’ve already related it to my topic, it’s clear what my essay will be about. This book is extreme, but that’s the point. It grabs the readers attention.
“The first Russian Revolution occurred in 1905 to kick out the irresponsible, thoughtless tsar, Czar Nicholas II. After a successful revolution, the communist party gained control of what was turned into Soviet Russia. However, a dictatorship, unknown to the people of Soviet Russia, began to form. Eric Blair was a spectator on the sidelines of this heinous and rapidly growing country. He decided to publish his feelings through a book called Animal Farm under the alias George Orwell.” is my bridge. It relays some background information on the book, gives information on what my essay will be about, and it closes the gap between my thesis and hook.
“George Orwell’s Animal Farm reflects the effects of Communism spreading, the Russian Revolution’s failures and outcomes, and the poor treatment of people in Soviet Russia as shown through the effects of Old Major’s speech and Napoleon’s oppressive, tyrannical ways.” is my thesis. It clearly states the 3 main ideas that will be used in my essay. Don’t be tempted to turn your thesis into two sentences. It’s daunting to have such a long sentence, but trust me!
Hope you have an idea of how to do a proper introduction now!
Why do you think most of Dickens’s works focus on portraying the lives of the poor and the working class?
Answer:
Explanation:
Certainly Dickens was sympathetic to the working poor—what he would have considered to be the good or "deserving" poor. Examples of these are the Plornish family in Little Dorrit, as well as working-class characters down on their luck, like Stephen Blackpool in Hard Times, or middle-class characters struggling to hide their loss of class status as the result of poverty, like Bob Cratchit in A Christmas Carol. Dickens was almost always sympathetic to poor women, including prostitutes like Nancy in Oliver Twist, and children like Jo the street sweeper in Bleak House.
But Dickens was also, like many of his contemporaries, worried, even afraid of the potential for crime and violence in poverty, particularly in people like Bill Sykes (Oliver Twist), especially when those people congealed into a mob. (The out-of-control masses of the Gordon riots in Barnaby Rudge, or the revolutionaries in Tale of Two Cities are good examples.) Generally speaking, Dickens believed—and strongly insisted in his work—that crime was a result of poverty and its corollary, ignorance; but despite his sympathetic treatments of characters like Magwitch in Great Expectations, there is a barely-controlled anxiety in many of his works about an unredeemable evil in some poor people.
In his own time, Dickens was seen as a champion of “the poor” by some of the poor themselves. (One of the street sellers Henry Mayhew interviewed in 1851 said Dickens was a great favorite of the “patterers” who sold ballads and other materials on the street; Silas Wegg in Our Mutual Friend is a patterer.) Author and critic G.K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) characterized Dickens as “the spokesman of the poor”—a label that was almost immediately challenged by George Orwell, among others. But whatever ambivalences Dickens, like his contemporaries, had about poverty and the poor, one of his greatest achievements was to bring the problem of poverty to the attention of his readers through introducing varieties of poor persons into almost all of his novels, and showing the “deserving” majority of the poor, bravely struggling against the forces arrayed against them.
hope this is good for you !
Answer:
Dickens had to quit school and get a job to help settle his father’s debts. One of his first jobs, at age 12, was at a factory that made shoe polish. He experienced firsthand the harsh conditions of English factories during the nineteenth century. These painful experiences probably influenced Dickens to write about the lives of working-class people.
