On Christmas Eve I saw that my mother had outdone herself in creating a

strange menu. She was pulling black veins out of the backs of fleshy prawns. The

kitchen was littered with appalling mounds of raw food: A slimy rock cod with

bulging fish eyes that pleaded not to be thrown into a pan of hot oil. Tofu, which

looked like stacked wedges of rubbery white sponges. A howl soaking dried fungus

back to life. A plate of squid, their backs crisscrossed with knife markings so they

resembled bicycle tires.

Read the following excerpt from Amy Tan’s “Fish Cheeks”.

What are some controversial topics revolving around sexual violence ?

Answers

Well I know one controversial topic is that if you dress a certain way (like if you wear revealing clothing or whatever) your basically asking to get raped. Like EXCUSE ME???!! This makes me so mad. I mean think about it. Women are always taught to dress a certain way, don’t wear ponytails, don’t wear headphones while you run, and other ways on how to “not get raped.” But men are almost never taught to respect women and to control their bodies. We should be able to wear anything we want. I hope one day we can live in a world where gender doesn’t matter and where women can feel safe no matter what they wear or how they act. Hope this helps! :D

Answer:

I mean Jenna above me is kinda right, but somewhat wrong.

Explanation:

      I do agree women should be able to wear whatever they want, but if you are wearing clothes that leave little for people to guess about, there is a chance you would get ra.ped. Why wear clothes that show so much, unless you are trying to show off your body, which in that case, isn't getting rap.ed your own fault? I'm not saying ra.pe is okay, but what was your reasoning to wearing clothes that show so much of your body? Also, how do you know men aren't taught to treat women with respect? They could have been taught, but just don't care about it.

2. Is every sentence punctuated correctly?

3. Is the capitalization correct (sentence beginnings, proper nouns)?

4. Is each word spelled correctly?

Use the Editing Checklist to help you proofread these sentences. Which sentence contains one of the errors

mentioned in the checklist?

A)

The colored light is a rainbow.

B)

Rainbows occur when the sun shines thru a rain shower

Rainbows usually happen early in the morning or late in the afternoon

D)

Each raindrop acts like a prism that separates sun light into different

colors

Answers

Answer:

The sentence which contains one of the errors mentioned in the checklist is:

B. Rainbows occur when the sun shines thru a rain shower.

Explanation:

Even though we have grown used to seeing the word "thru" around, it is actually a misspelling. The correct spelling is "through", while "thru" is a way to write the word that focuses on how it sounds. We can often see the latter in text messages, or even in "drive-thru" signs. With that in mind, we can say option B contains the error mentioned in number 4 of the checklist.

What happened in the story drowning in dishes?? Help !

Answers

Answer:

The Essay “Drowning in Dishes, But Finding a Home” by Danial Adkison, is a very thought provoking article that teaches us the power of hard work.  The essay takes you on a journey of a young high school student that gets a job at a Pizza Hut to get out of his house.  At Pizza Hut he starts out washing dishes, and after weeks of complaining, he is told that the reason he is still washing dishes is that he is always complaining.  After realizing this he stops complaining and is eventually promoted to making the pizzas.  The lesson learned was taught by the boss, Jeff.  Jeff hired mostly kids still in high school and taught them everything they know about working at Pizza Hut.  Due to this, the employees had a great culture and enjoyed each others company.  This essay brings to light the reality that many kids live, where they go to work to escape life at home.  The essay is socially constructed and conveyed on the fact that many kids find a job, but not many kids love their job.  This love of the job is driven by the ability of the manager to get the kids to buy into the belief that hard work pays off.

QUESTION 1 DOK 2

Mercutio is saying that Benvolio has a short temper and gets in

fights very easily. Based on the previous events in the play, is

Mercutio right? Why?

SELECT AN ANSWER

No, Benvolio tried to stop Mercutio from

fighting with Tybalt.

Answers

Answer:

In fact, Benvolio shows a peaceful temperament, as he tries to prevent fights between Mercutio and the Capulets from happening.

Explanation:

Benvolio and Mercutio are characters in the play "Romeo and Juliet" written by Shakespeare, which tells the story of forbidden love between Romeo and Juliet.

The love between the two is forbidden because they belong to enemy families, Romeo is the son of the Montague family while Juliet is the daughter of the Capulet family.

Benvolio and Mercutio are friends of Romeo and show very different behaviors. Benvolio is very calm and peaceful and tries at all times to avoid fighting for him and even his friends, as you can see when he tries to prevent Mercutio from fighting with Tybalt and other capulets. But all this peacefulness does not convince Mercutio, who claims that Benvolio is as short-tempered as any other man.

Describe the killing of the sow. What are some words used to describe how the sow is feeling? The boys? What do the hunters do with her body? Her head? Why?

Answers

This question seems to be incomplete. However, there is enough information to find the right answer.

Answer:

In Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, Jack and his new tribe go on a savage frenzy to hunt and kill a sow. They go after a bunch of piglets and kill one of them, after chasing it through the forest. Jack is the one that leads the hunt.

Explanation:

While the words used to describe what the sow must be feeling are those of terror and exhaustion, such as frantic, terror, terrified, and collapsed, the ones used to describe what the boys feel are words of excitement and rush, such as rushed, fiercely and excited.

After the killing, the boys sharpen a stick at both ends, placing one end to stick into the ground and the other to stick into the head of the killed pig. This is how they leave the head as an offering or gift for what they call "the beast". The body of the sow they use to make a pig roast.

i need a paragraph about how less gun laws would result in a safer community. pls help

Answers

I think less gun laws would make a safer community because that way you could protect yourself from individual(s) who are possibly trying to attack you. Or if you wanted to go hunting you should have every right to go hunting. Even though that means more people could have more guns that means more protection and if people know how to use a gun properly there should be no issues. I think people who have a violent criminal history background should not be able to legally own a gun but I think for the people who have little to no violent criminal history background should have the right to own a gun I think people should have the full right to protect themselves and their family against certain people who have a dangerous weapon on them and trying to use it against them.

What does the root infer mean in the word inferior?
After the change of management, the store began to offer inferior products.
below
better
small
fresh
Dont

Answers

Answer:

Below.

Explanation:

The root "infer" means to deduce, to conclude. And the word "inferior" means something that is lower, lesser in quality, of a low position, etc.

In the use of the word "inferior" in the sentence "[a]fter the change of management, the store began to offer inferior products", we can deduce that the word meant "a lower quality", which can be related to the word "below". So, the sentence meant to say that after the management changed, the store began to offer lesser quality products. This means that the store gave goods that are below the expected or normal quality.

Thus, the correct answer is "below".

He had created many things that made peoples lives easier. One of his inventions was a car that could operate on both water and land; this car was Batniks favorite. On water, it could float and travel at speeds up to 80 miles per hour. But on land, it could travel at speeds over 200 miles per hour. Batniks father had created this special car to help people from their island get to the mainland and other islands faster. When Batnik's father was a boy, the only method of travel from one island to another was by ferry, and the trip often took hours. People who were sick and needed medical help from the mainland would have to endure the long crossing or not go at all because of delays. Batniks father loved his homeland and wanted to ease the burden on the people, so he created the water car.When he showed the car to Batnik, Batniks father warned Batnik that the car should not be driven at the maximum speed on land or water because the engine could burst into flame. One day when his father was away, Batnik decided that he wanted to show the car to his friends. He drove it on the water, at first going only half the possible speed. Then, as his excitement grew, he increased his speed on the water and was nearing maximum speed. When he reached the land, he continued to accelerate. His exhilaration grew. Like the mythological Greek boy Icarus, who flew too close to the sun, Batnik forgot his fathers warning and pushed the gas pedal to the floor. When the car exceeded 200 miles per hour, it burst into flames.How is the character of Batnik's father in Too Fast similar to Pan in "Pan: God of the Wild"?Both act in ways that cause the deaths of young people.Both help people with new inventions.Both have aspects of joy and terror.Both travel throughout the world in unusual ways. why does solid silver, Ag, conducts electricity while solid silver chloride, AgCl, does not.
