For all the years I knew my grandma, she could barely see. Grandma was legally blind, and yet she knew, by feel, the location of every dish in her kitchen and every work of literature on the bookcase in the living room.
I remember especially the bird-like way she peered at things. I'd bring her a copy of my latest school picture, and she'd hold the photo an inch or two from her face, tilt her head to one side, and inspect it before saying, "Very pretty." I used to think she was just being polite, that she really couldn't see me in the picture. But then she'd add, "That pin you're wearing was your mother's." How did she see that little blur on my jacket? The things she could see never failed to amaze me.
Watching television with Grandma, I never failed to learn something. Usually it was the complicated plot twist of one of her favorite soap operas—The Guiding Light or As the World Turns. We grandkids would curl up on the big couch while Grandma pulled up a footstool and planted herself right next to the TV, elbows on her knees, to watch the screen. At the commercial break, she'd explain who was marrying whom and who was in the hospital and who had recently come back from the dead. She seemed to have no trouble identifying the characters whom she could barely see. Whether or not she could bring them into sharp focus, they were as real to her as her giggling grandkids.
For a treat, we'd sometimes pile into our grandparent's black car for a drive around town: my grandfather at the wheel, my long-legged older brother in the front seat, and Grandma sandwiched between me and my little brother in the back—but sitting so far forward she was practically in the front. I'd imagined all she could see was a blur of images rushing past, yet she could always tell when Grandpa had missed a turn or forgotten to turn on his headlights. Returning home, Grandma would wave at the boy who mowed their lawn and point out the new fruit on the plum tree in their yard.
In later years, when I visited from college, Grandma would always be waiting when I pulled up in my old orange car (that's admittedly hard to miss, no matter how bad one's vision). She'd greet me with a bear hug. Then she'd surprise me, every time, with what she could see. Holding my face in her hands, she'd turn my head from side to side and announce, "You got your hair cut!" as if I had won the lottery and forgotten to tell her. I began to wonder if we rely on our eyes too much—if maybe, with our perfect sight, we're actually missing the details my grandma and her poor vision never failed to catch.

This story makes the reader think about what we can and cannot see. What question does the author ask us to think about at the end?
A. Was life just a blur of images racing past our eyes?
B. Could Grandma see the things she said she could see?
C. Do people with perfect vision miss out on the details of life?
D. Do blind people enjoy life more than people who can see?

Explanation:

Pollution is the emission of volatile organic chemicals, such as greenhouse gases, from recycled plastics. Recycling includes melting old polymers and reshaping them into desired shapes and sizes. Melting releases volatile carbon fumes into the air, which mix with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, which is then discharged into the air, increasing its concentration. Excess carbon depletes the ozone layer, causing the earth's atmosphere to heat up. The melting of arctic ice raises sea levels and changes sea waves. Ocean pollution is anticipated to have health consequences on creatures that rely on the water for food and habitat.

Answer:

it depends on the passage

Answer:

Dear sir or madam,

This letter is to express my disconformity towards the state of the roads and the lack of action on your part towards the daily despairs.

First of all, the roads are not only dirty but also have large cracks and bumps. The road's states put drivers at risk since they have to dodge the bumps or cracks, which reduce their attention towards other things such as the people who are passing or other vehicles. Also, they are a risk for pedestrians. They can fall or get hurt with the state of the roads or the trash on the sidewalks.

There have been many complaints about this situation, but the government has not taken action. We, the citizens, feel that there is no effort to solve these problems. Besides, you are not taking care of the people who live in this town since you ignore the daily complaints.

I hope that you improve the state of our roads and compromise yourself to solve the town's problems by listening to people's claims.

Yours faithfully.

John Sanders.

Explanation:

When we write a complaint letter, first we have to address the person to whom we are complaining. In this case, as we do not know the name, we say dear sir or madam. Then, we write the first paragraph, where we introduce the letter's topic, which is the state of the roads and how the government is acting towards the problem.

In the second and third paragraphs, we describe the problems in detail. In other words, we explain why the roads should not be in a bad state, and we develop how we feel towards their lack of response.

Lastly, we ask them to act to solve these problems and say our goodbyes.

The central idea is the central, unifying element of the story, which ties together all of the other elements of fiction used by the author to tell the story. The central idea can be best described as the dominant impression or the universal, generic truth found in the story.

A sentence that can show the meaning of the aphorism shown in the question above is: It is better to do something than to regret never having done it.

This is because the aphorism shown in the question above shows that when we stop doing something, for fear of the result, we will feel very sad because we will wonder what could have happened if we had done that something. Furthermore, the aphorism states that this feeling is the saddest of all.

It is important to emphasize what an aphorism is, as this word refers to a sentence that conveys a moral principle.

In this case, we can conclude that the phrase "It's better to do something than to regret never having done" manages to express the same meaning as the aphorism, since it shows that the regret of not having done something is more painful than the doubt about what it would be the result if that action had been taken.

Answer:

Explanation:

Phrases to be corrected:

-"The story revolves around the psychology of guilt and a murderer who commits a crime and is able to hide it."

The most concrete idea would be:

The story revolves around the psychology of a murderer who commits a crime and is able to hide it.

-"This article will analyze the issue of violence as it is contained in history".

It could be corrected as the following:

"This article will analyze what influenced the narrator to become a violent man and what the consequences were."

A correct punctuation must be made in the following paragraph:

"These animals included dogs, apes, and even donkeys. The theme of violence is also portrayed when the narrator, realizing his mistake, turns on himself and begins to hurt himself with the knife that he always carried with him."

The first stanza is a continuity of the idea from the previous paragraph, therefore it must be in the previous paragraph with a period followed.

In the following paragraph we can make some editorial corrections as well as punctuation:

"The other theme of the story is that of loyalty. Before the narrator began drinking, he was loyal to his wife and pet cat, Pluto. The theme of loyalty also shows up when the narrator gouges his cat's eye out. Even though his wife saw the kind of cruelty he had subjected the cat to, he was still loyal to him."

We can see in the previous paragraph that the subject of loyalty begins to be discussed, therefore it is not necessary for the writer of the essay to say again "the subject of loyalty is also shown ..." it could be said "We can quote a example when the narrator gouges out his cat's eye ".

The last paragraph, as it is a continuity of the previous paragraph where the writer continues talking about loyalty, must continue that idea in the previous paragraph with a period followed.

Therefore, there should be a single paragraph where it is not necessary to repeat the word "the issue of loyalty" but only leave the word "loyalty" because it is already known that that issue has been discussed. Therefore, they could be as follows:

"The other theme of the story is that of loyalty. Before the narrator began drinking, he was loyal to his wife and pet cat, Pluto. An example we can cite is when the narrator gouges out his cat's eye. Even though his wife saw the kind of cruelty he had subjected the cat to, he was still loyal to him, and loyalty is represented by the cat himself. After the narrator gouged out the cat's eye, the cat was still playing with the narrator after the pierced eye sock had healed. Under normal circumstances, the cat would have fled the house and moved to another house away from the brutality."

Answer:

(The essay I used is underneath the last question)

1. Where does the writer stray from the topic? What could be done to fix this problem? Explain what you would cut and cross it out in the text of the essay.

I do not believe MuffinAlien strays away from the gothic topic in her essay. I think she did a great job describing Edgar Allen Poe's writing.
2. What misunderstandings or inaccuracies involving Gothic literature or Poe's use of suspense do you see? How would you suggest eliminating this problem? If necessary, cross out some words within the text of the essay.

I do not think there are any misunderstandings or inaccuracies in gothic writing, Poe's story, or the essay that MuffinAlien wrote. However, I will say I do have a small opinion. When writing a gothic based story, or maybe even any story depending on who you ask, people use more complex words, making sentences longer to make it seem like time is moving slowly in the story. I do not think it's effective for what it's for. This may be very biased because it's my personal opinion, but it makes it harder for me to understand the plot of the story. Instead of making the story more interesting because the time is being slowed, it makes it more boring because the time is too slow, and then I'm not interested in reading anymore. This is the reason why I do not enjoy gothic stories.

3. Where does the writer fail to support her points with evidence? What evidence from the story would you suggest adding to support these points?

MuffinAlien doesn't fail to support her points with evidence. Every example MuffinAlien told, she gave a quote to go with it.

4. Read the essay again and edit it for errors. Find and fix as many spelling, capitalization, and punctuation errors as you can. Pay special attention to the errors you learned about in the lesson, but look for other types of errors as well. You may write your edits directly into the essay.

I do not believe that there is anything wrong with the essay MuffinAlien wrote, but i suppose i wouldn't get a good grade if i didn't do much on this essay, so i'll try my best to fix it somehow.

Gothic writing is marked by the suspense of not knowing what will happen next in a story. Great Gothic writers like Edgar Allan Poe move beyond simple techniques to build suspense. His stories are more than the usual "It was a dark and stormy night." In his popular Gothic story, "The Black Cat," you can see Poe effectively using clear narrative choices to build suspense. How he holds back information and controlled pacing develops the narrator's character are both two good examples of how he does it.

Holding back information is the first way Poe builds suspense. As the story begins, the narrator is clearly addressing an audience. He says it in a way as if he knows us already. It says at the very beginning of the story, "But to-morrow I die, and to-day I will empty my soul." This statement is so extreme that anyone who would stumble onto these words would be attached, wondering what's going to happen next. None of the questions flowing through the reader's mind are answered until much later in the story. The now-curious reader must read along.

Along with this, Poe effectively controls the pacing of the story to which also builds suspense. Whenever the action becomes intense and the narrator becomes excited or violent, the sentences are either short or very choppy. For example, “...They left no nook or corner unexplored. At length, for the third or fourth time, they descended into the cellar. I trembled not in a muscle. My heart beats calmly as that of one who slumbers in innocence…” These sentences are short, direct, and choppy, creating more suspension. When Poe wants to create the illusion that time is passing more slowly; he uses longer and more complex sentences that must be read more carefully and slowly. For example, “To those who have cherished an affection for a faithful and wise dog, I need hardly be at the trouble of explaining the nature or the intensity of the satisfaction, therefore available. There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a savage, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasions to test the small friendship and cobweb loyalty of basic Man.” These sentences are very long, showing that time is passing very slowly.

Poe creates suspense in the story by using more complex tools and narrative choices than just setting the story on a stormy night in a haunted house or middle age castle. He holds back information and carefully controls the pacing. These narrative choices are so effective that we're still reading Poe's stories more than 150 years after they were first published.
