Mom works extremely hard everyday and rarely has time for herself. I think I would like to take her to her favorite restaurant and possibly catch a movie. Mom does love shopping, we could go to the mall after. I would like to buy her perfumes, shoes, clothes, and maybe even some furniture. I don't have enough money to give my mom all those things.

Answer the question below
hello, can someone write a story on why I should get a later bedtime using all 10 of these words it doesn't have to be long, and please keep it appropriate. Glance Agony Abrupt Frantic Cacophony Homophone Premonition Prevent Biography Biology
Answer:
I believe I should have a later bedtime because it allows me more time to study/do homework such as biology without premonition! At first glance, staying up later means "less" sleep causes the brain agony because of the abrupt change in sleep, creating frantic feelings. But I think it instead prevents cacophony due to the quietness, and in the end creates a more productive environment.
Explanation:
Answer:
See below:
Explanation:
What a fun prompt! I hope this is what you're looking for!
Dear (whoever is supposed to be reading this paragraph. you fill in),
I cannot prevent my frantic scrambling to get assignments done, finish my studying, and do the things I want to do like (insert hobby or sport here), with such an early bedtime. By the time I finish one homework assignment and glance at the clock, it's already (insert what you think is a late time)! Take today as an example. I had to write a biography for English, had over 2 hours of Biology homework, and I had to figure out the meaning of words like cacophony, premonition, and homophone for this poetry assignment I was doing! By the time I have any spare time to do the things I want to do, it comes to an abrupt stop because (insert your current bedtime) comes! The agony of never being able to finish (insert a project you want to do) or even read (insert book name) is driving me crazy!
For these reasons, I think you should let me have a later bedtime.
Sincerely, (name here)
I hope this wasn't too long, I was having a lot of fun with it!
:)
The Ornithopter
Many people know Leonardo da Vinci today as an artist, and it is true that he was indeed a great painter and sculptor, but he was also an inventor and one of the first individuals in recorded history to draft detailed plans for a flying machine.
In order to make a living, Leonardo often depended upon wealthy individuals who would commission work from him. That means they would hire him and pay him to create specific work they wanted. In 1482, when he was 30 years old, Leonardo heard of an opportunity to work for Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan. The duke, however, did not want a painter; he wanted a military engineer to help him defend the city against its enemies. This was an excellent opportunity that would pay Leonardo well, but Leonardo was a peaceful man. He considered war to be “a beastly madness.” He preferred to make things of beauty.
Leonardo made the decision that he could tolerate making weapons if the resources the duke could provide would also allow him to create things he loved. He sent a letter to the duke detailing his skills in designing and building weapons. “I will assemble catapults, mangonels, trebuchets and other instruments of wonderful efficiency…I will make an infinite number of items for attack and defense,” he wrote.
Leonardo’s letter convinced the duke of his talents, and he got the job. He set about designing the weapons that the duke desired. But Leonardo was infinitely creative, always thinking of new things, new ideas—he could not be limited to weapons alone. One idea that he had not mentioned in his application was the ornithopter. It was not a weapon of war, and it was not something that the duke had asked for, but Leonardo went ahead and designed it anyway.
Leonardo was fascinated by the idea of flight. The word “ornithopter” comes from two words meaning “bird” and “wings.” And on first inspection, his plans resembled a bird’s wings attached to a human being’s arms. He concluded that a human being’s arms were neither strong enough nor light enough to stay in the air for long. So, his design included sets of foot pedals and levers that were operated with the hands. He created detailed plans and presented them to the duke, uncertain of how the duke would react to a design for which he didn’t ask.
As it turned out, the duke was very impressed with the ornithopter, but it wasn’t Leonardo’s innovation that excited him. He immediately thought of the ways this machine could be used in war. If a spy could fly over the enemy’s camp, imagine what information he could gather! This was not what Leonardo had intended for his beautiful flying machine.
But how Leonardo felt about war turned out not to matter in the end. His ornithopter was never built—along with his designs for tanks, parachutes, diving suits, machine guns, and even robots that he created for the duke. The ideas of Leonardo da Vinci were centuries ahead of the technology needed to make them.

Answer: a
Explanation:
Major cities all over the world are changing color. The tall gray buildings that make up the landscape of urban environments are becoming greener. They aren't getting a fresh coat of paint. Instead, their roofs are being covered in grass and small shrubbery. Many rooftops are beginning to look like nature parks. This change isn't just for fun. It is an attempt to add plants that can clean city air, absorb waste water, and generally add beauty to the city environment.
Green roofs started in Europe and are now gaining a strong foothold in the United States. They are a way to add a little nature to the city environment. People plant vegetable gardens, flowers, and decorative grasses on their rooftops. One green roof in New York City is built on top of a processing and distribution facility. It is the largest green roof in the country. It has survived snow and rain, given employees a beautiful place for a lunch break, and helped clean the city air.
It is more expensive to build a green roof than it is to lay asphalt or shingles. The basic green roof requires a frame and a waterproof membrane. It also requires gravel for drainage. Special material needs to be laid to retain moisture. Of course, soil for planting and a barrier that prevents roots from penetrating the building are also necessary materials for a green roof. Despite the extra cost, the trend is growing.
The city of Chicago now has more green roofs than any other U.S. city. There are 7 million square feet of green roofs planted across the city. Toronto, Canada, is the first city in the western hemisphere to mandate green roofs on all new tall buildings. Green roofs are beneficial to the environment and the cities that build them. A recent study in Toronto suggested that if 75 percent of the flat roofs were greened, the city could save $37 million a year on storm water management and energy bills. If this is true, we may begin to see more and more green added to cities around the world.
Why does the author include the point that there are 7 million square feet of green roofs planted across the city of Chicago?
A. To paint a picture of what the green roofs in Chicago look like.
B. To exaggerate how many green roofs there are in the city.
C. To show that Chicago has not accepted the green roof trend.
D. To prove that Chicago has the most green roofs in the United States.

can someone write me an adventurous story that contains Disgusting Ecstatic Subtle Subdue Suburb Nonchalant Nonfiction Nonsense Chronic Synchronize, please?
Answer:
Time is a valuable thing. One minute you have it, the next its gone. Sometimes you have the ability to control time. It goes fast as you have fun, yet continues to slow whenever you start to experience the lack of excitement. Habits usually fill our time, examples could be art, writing, and sightseeing. But my all time favorite would be mountain climbing. Free climbing is the most dangerous, of course, for it involves no bungee, but I see it as more than a risk. Particularly, the freedom of time.
Saturday morning I pack my chalk, climbing shoes, knee and elbow pads, and an extra cord unless I want to feel more secure. I live in the lower part of Indiana, where my family grew up in a suburban farm. Its not all that, like a city house with an in-ground pool, but its quiet, and thats all I want. I was born Feb. 17th, 1987 and only been to 4 major states in my last 30 years. its now 2021, with special equipment like Smart Phones and wireless headphones. I remember playing in the backyard with my best friends and not caring about taxes, money, and the ability to get by. It was better, and its everything I wish I could do again.
Now, this story might be wasting your time, drawing you from ecstatic adventure and making the clock tick slower and slower, but I promise its just getting good. On the same Saturday as i was loaded my things into the back of my ford, I spaced out. No, not just spaced, I passed out. It was like I was drifting in a rift of space. Little did I know, that was exactly what i was doing.
I get up, dazed and dry-mouthed as I attempt to stand. I look down at my hands. They're tiny. My feet look small, too. I take a look around and im in my old room. My 10-year-old self room. I go into the kitchen and see the calendar. July 6th, 1997. This isnt right. If anything I'm probably just dreaming. Mild concussion symptoms and coma illusions can do this to you. But if I really am here, this is the moment I walk outside to see the cops. At 10 years old, July 6th, 1997 my father died from a shooting. I can already hear the sirens and practically see that lights. I feel tears roll one by one down my cheek as i look out the window. There he was, Jonathan Wilson, my father, on my driveway, dead.

Disgusting: Father Death
Ecstatic: Time Rift
Subtle: Calm Appearance
Suburb: Farm Life
Nonchalant: Personality
Nonfiction: Related Science
Nonsense: Time Rift

I am doing a lawyer assignment for my English class and I need help! The book is The Tell-Tale Heart.
What are 5 good questions I can ask the police that will help my case in making the narrator guilty?
My class is doing a court case on Tell-tale Heart. I need 15 questions for people in the room. Please read the tell-tale heart then think of questions that could help me win my case against the narrator. Come up with 5 questions that I (the lawyer) could use against the narrator.
If you need different questions from the ones below, let me know and I will try my best to assist.
Questions to use against the narrator:
You yourself entertained the thought that you might be insane, but ultimately brush it aside. You express that you have no reason to kill the man, yet you kill him. This contradiction is proof that while you were insane, you knew what you did was wrong. Why not seek help?
If you truly felt remorse for your actions, why was your first instinct to dispose of the body rather than to immediately confess to your crime?
You spent more than a week setting up this murder. This was not a spur of the moment murder. It was premeditated. Can you justify this? Does this not prove you to be a guilty individual?
You express taking pride in your work. Is this something that a stable, innocent person would do?
Questions for the room:
(I apologize, but I could only come up with ten.)
Is the narrator reliable?
Were his actions justified?
Was his guilt genuine, or was it just an attribute of his psychosis?
Was he truly seeing the ‘evil eye’?
Even if he was, is fear a reason to murder?
Is the beating of the heart evidence of insanity?
He talked about his feelings of power and excitement breaking into the old man’s chamber. Does this not further prove that he should be imprisoned?
Does that not prove that he is not only a murderer, but a person who enjoys the act of killing?
Should a person of this type not be punished and placed where they cannot hurt another person?
This man dismembered a human. If you found a body that had been ripped apart, you would want the person who did it to be put away right?
Why is it important to make inferences when reading poetry?
Answer:
Because inferring is a skill that helps us understand the purpose behind any authors words.
Item 9
Golden Days
by Lizzie Lawson
There are days of summer sunshine,
Of warm and sunny weather,
When the hedge is full of hawthorn
And hills are glad with heather.
There are days of silent sadness,
Of frost, and snow, and rain,
When we fear that summer's gladness
Will never come again.
And now our songs are minor key,
And now in merry tune;
The windward side will change to lee,
And January to June.
Day and night the sun is shining,
Though he may hide his head;
Each cloud has a silver lining,
The flowers are asleep not dead.
Every day may have its playtime
Made bright by cheerful lays;
And life be one long Maytime,
A year of golden days.
Read the theme.
Life, like nature, has pleasant and unpleasant moments.
How does this theme develop over the course of "Golden Days"?
Happiness is like the warmth of summer, and sadness is like the coldness of winter.
The playtime of spring helps people feel alive and excited again after a long winter.
The seasons are all rewarding and pleasant in their own unique ways.
Nature and life are both unpredictable, especially during winter and summer months.

What are poems?Poems which are also called verse are a form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre to evoke meanings in addition to, or place of, a prosaic ostensible meaning. A poem is a literary composition, written by a poet, using this principle.
Poetry has a long and varied history, evolving differentially across the globe. It dates back at least to prehistoric times with hunting poetry in Africa and to panegyric and elegiac court poetry of the empires of the Nile, Niger, and Volta River valleys. Some of the earliest written poetry in Africa occurs among the Pyramid Texts written during the 25th century BCE.
The earliest surviving Western Asian epic poetry, the Epic of Gilgamesh, was written in Sumerian.
