Answer: The basement was eerie and quiet, with a pale yellow light the only thing illuminating it. Walking down the steps, holding on to the railing, the dust came off on my fingers, a powdery substance. It smelled like mildew, and the creaking of the floorboards made it sound like the floor would break, and I would fall through.

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.

Imagine you had a time machine that would take you to the past or the future. Where would you choose to go? Think of what you would do there, what it would be like, and who you would meet. Write a story of your adventure. (In your story, you must include dialogue, details, descriptions, a consistent point of view, and all the elements from the chart below.)
It would be nice to go back in time to see what life would be like if I had made different decisions. I believe that in the past, you can observe or interact with anyone you want, but you won't be able to affect the modern world. The day you spend there will disappear as soon as you return to the year you were in. The original day you spent there will appear again as soon as you return. Your presence at the alternate time will have no effect.
Also, why would we want to go to the future? You'll get there eventually. It's impossible to go back to the past, so why not take the chance?

Answer:
Explanation:
Kids start developing their sense of self as babies when they see themselves through their parents' eyes. Your tone of voice, your body language, and your every expression are absorbed by your kids. Your words and actions as a parent affect their developing self-esteem more than anything else.
Praising accomplishments, however small, will make them feel proud; letting kids do things independently will make them feel capable and strong. By contrast, belittling comments or comparing a child unfavorably with another will make kids feel worthless.

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.

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!

A. Yes; e=32h
B. Yes; e=23h
C. No; e=h+2
D. No; e=h−2
Answer:
Explanation:
Using the proportionate connection theory to model these two tables, we may conclude the first table is proportionate whereas the second is not.
Clara's configuration:
To determine whether a relationship is proportionate, perform the following tests:
Yes, there seems to be a proportional relationship. Hector's set-up is as follows:
The number of yellow flowers always out-numbers the number of white blooms by a factor of 2. As a result, the relationship could be modeled as follows;
As a result, the relationship is not proportionate.
Part A is B and Part B is A I think might be wrong though

THE END OF WINTER
As I approached, I startled a group of sparrows that had been feeding in the grass, and they flew up to the safety of an old oak tree. It was still early enough in the year that the branches of the tree were bare. But the bird songs and the warm sun made me feel certain that winter was ending. As I watched, the sparrows dropped from their high perches and settled again in the grass to hunt for food. Like winter, I was just an interruption.

Group of answer choices
Because he hit the winning run, everyone crowded around the pitcher.
Everyone crowded around the pitcher, the ball player who hit the winning run.
Everyone crowded around the pitcher because he hit the winning run.
Everyone crowded around the ball player who hit the winning run.
Answer:
4
Explanation:
Everyone crowded around the ball player who hit the winning run
Answer:
The sentence that correctly includes a restrictive phrase is:
A. Everyone crowded around the ball player who hit the winning run.
Explanation:
A restrictive clause is a relative clause that provides essential information about a noun or noun phrase, limiting it. It can also be called defining relative clause. A restrictive clause is not set off by commas. The option that has information about the ball player that is not set off by commas is:
A. Everyone crowded around the ball player who hit the winning run.
When we have a restrictive clause removed, the sentence loses part of its meaning. If we remove "who hit the winning run," the rest of the sentence could be referring to any ball player. Therefore, this information is crucial because it specifies to which ball player we refer.
Note: Option B does not have commas as well, but it uses the conjunction "because", which does not form a restrictive clause.

2) Rain gardens are located in 30 percent of the residential parkways in Allentown, Ill.
3) Rain gardens include plants and materials that help absorb water into the ground before it is washed into sewers.
4) Rain gardens are a natural way to reduce storm water runoff that pollutes local waterways
Answer:
4
Explanation:
you're starting off the paragraph that connects to the thesis, connecting that it reduces storm water runoff to how actions must be taken to reduce it. 1 is just a statement that to put it somewhere solid, 2 is a too specific fact, and 3 is the explantation. you would want 3 farther in on your paragraph rather than your opener.

Write a thesis statement in response to the following prompt.
Prompt: Read the letter to the editor "I, Too, Have a Dream." How does the writer use structure and language to persuade her readers and support her feelings about immigration?
Dear Editor,
I have never taken the time to write a letter to the editor, but something happened that lit a fire in me. Last week, as my best friend Areliss and I headed to class, a group of college protesters blocked our path. Their signs read "GO HOME" and "ILLEGALS LEAVE." They shouted, "Send them home!" These protesters couldn't have known what Areliss felt as they shouted and waved pamphlets in our faces like tattered flags. But, I know their words were bullets to Areliss's heart. I wanted to fire back to the protestors: Where are your ancestors from?
Areliss came to the United States illegally, but she didn't do it intentionally. She was a baby. Her parents, seeking a better life, failed to follow the established immigration procedure, and they slipped into our country undetected. Once here, they raised Areliss, who would grow up never knowing any other home but America.
Under DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), Areliss has been granted the temporary opportunity to remain here while she completes her college education. DACA ensures, at least for a while, that she will not be deported to a country she has never visited in her entire life.
The term "DREAMers" refers to an act that would have protected these immigrant children if they attended college or served in the military. The DREAM Act did not pass, but its name has remained. DACA recipients have a dream: they dream that their lifelong contribution to the United States will one day be recognized, and they will be permitted to stay in the country they have always called home.
Now, DACA is ending. Those who oppose DACA say it encourages illegal activity, weakens our borders, and goes against the Constitution. I understand their concerns. In an era of heightened security, we must do our utmost to keep this great nation safe. That includes establishing a healthy monitoring system for immigration.
But, those who oppose DACA, who wield protest signs and who want to build walls, have never felt the dreaded doom of deportation. They forget that our long and colorful history has been built by many immigrants—including the immigrants who fought for and founded our country. They forget that Lady Liberty stands as a beacon, asking for the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. We have a responsibility to them.
To send DREAMers away is to deny that responsibility. Programs like DACA exist to keep the American dream alive.
Yes, Areliss is a DREAMer. But I, too, have a dream. My dream is that DACA will be reinstated. My dream is that Areliss will be invited to stay in the country she has known as home since she was a baby and live out her dreams in the country she loves.
Sincerely,
Brittany Taylor
