Read about a recent natural disaster, such as a tornado, hurricane, tsunami, flash flood in your region, drought, or mudslide.
Turn the true account into a myth. Explain the natural
disaster as if the reason behind it was a result of improper human behavior.
Answer:
There are many ways to describe the wave of disasters—the hurricanes, wildfires, and droughts—that have swept across North America this summer.
You could call them unprecedented. After all, Irma and Harvey were the first two category four hurricanes to make landfall in the United States in the same year. You might call them harrowing, especially when you consider that more than six million acres of land—a million in Montana alone—have burned during this year's wildfire season. And no one paying attention to the aftermath of hurricanes Maria, Harvey, and Irma would hesitate to call those storms devastating. Puerto Rico's 3.4 million residents have struggled for more than a week with no electricity, and more than half of them still don't have clean water. And, for the first time in more than 300 years, no one is living on the Island of Barbuda; all 94,000 residents have left.
There are many ways to describe this summer’s calamities. But whatever you call these disasters, don't ever call them natural. There’s nothing “natural”—which is to say, nothing inevitable—about a disaster.
Most of what we call natural disasters (tornadoes, droughts, hurricanes) are indeed natural, though human contributions may increase their likelihood or intensity. But they aren't disasters—they're hazards. If a hurricane slams into land where no one lives, it isn't a disaster; it's weather. A disaster is when a natural hazard meets a human population. And often, that intersection is far from natural.

Answer:
The city of Tutaham was a beautiful city before calamity struck. Situated on the extreme coast of North America, Tutaham was an important site with many cultural and religious associations for people. The people in the city led a very luxurious life and never experienced any scarcity. The city was believed to be blessed by the native god. However, the people of the city were totally immersed in enjoying the material life that they enjoyed. Even though they had all kinds of luxuries, the people in Tutaham started to fight for power. Each one wanted to have the upper hand over the other. The people in the city did not need anything, but they grew greedy and wanted to take over the belongings of others. In the quest to gain power and become richer, the people of the city started to fight and kill each other. Angered by the selfish behavior of the people, the presiding deity of the city created a hurricane that destroyed every bit of Tutaham. It spared no human or animal that came in its way. The fury of the hurricane left people devastated and it unleashed disease and death in its aftermath.
In most myths, whenever humans become selfish, and there is decline in human values and morals, some divine being introduces difficulties and problems in the lives of people to make them realize the importance of humanity. In this story, the people of the city became avaricious and selfish. With a surplus of all the riches to satisfy everyone, they still chose to squabble and fight for power. This irked their native god and he decided to teach them a harsh lesson. Repeatedly, various mythologies have driven home the lesson that as humans become headstrong and selfish, and start to meddle with each other’s lives thoughtlessly, calamity arises, usually driven by a wrathful deity who shakes people into awareness.

Sofia paddled the kayak as quickly as she could, not thinking about where she was headed, only that she wanted to get away from her annoying sister. It was the family’s summer vacation, and Sofia had been stuck in the family’s vacation cabin all week with just Jenna to hang out with, far away from her usual activities and distractions.
Sofia stopped paddling for a moment, relaxed her shoulders, and gazed around. She realized she was surrounded by a dense, smoky fog—as thick as soup and as gray as a battleship. She couldn't see the family's cabin behind her or the other side of the lake in front of her. She knew the fog would burn off as the sun rose, and then she would be able to find her way home, but for now she would have to wait. It gave her time to think.
The fog made her feel invisible, which was not a new or unpleasant feeling for her. Being ignored meant she could get lost in thoughts about the barn where she took riding lessons and helped muck out the stalls. Sofia loved the horses' personalities and felt as though she could communicate with them. Her closest friends were the other barn kids who, like her, hung around the horses as often as possible. She planned to be an equine veterinarian someday. Her twin sister, Jenna, on the other hand, seemed obsessed with popularity, which was why their argument had begun.
"The Watsons invited us to go waterskiing with them this morning."
"I'm not really into waterskiing, plus I hate getting water up my nose. I'll probably just read in the gazebo."
"Oh, come on! I don't want to go alone, and you can read about horse anatomy some other time."
"Actually, I'm reading about a famous feline, I mean cat, doctor who invented—"
"You and your animals, Sofia! Can't you stop being such a horse girl and act like a normal seventh grader for a change?"
"Not everyone wants to run around trying to be cool and popular all the time, Jenna!"
The argument had gone on like this for several more rounds before Jenna stomped off down the driveway and Sofia jumped into the kayak and paddled away.
Now the bow of the kayak scraped against the sandy shore, and Sofia realized she was probably on the other side of the lake. After she got out of the kayak and pulled it onto the beach, she sat down on the damp sand and waited for the sun to burn off the fog. She began to regret fighting with her sister. She loved Jenna but getting along was truly challenging. “Identical twins are supposed to have a magical, mysterious bond, so why don't we have that?” she wondered. Sofia looked out at the lake and the clearing fog. In the distance, Jenna and their mother were paddling toward her in the orange canoe.
The twins and their mother sat close together on the little beach. "Listen girls," their mother began, "You're twins but you're also wonderfully unique and strong-minded individuals. Enjoy your differences and support each other because no matter what you do in life, and no matter who your friends are, you will always be sisters."
Sofia turned to Jenna and the girls looked into one another’s eyes. Sofia didn’t see her enemy there, just her sister. Though Jenna was sometimes challenging, she was always someone Sofia loved. Both girls smiled.
In "Coming Through Fog," why does the invitation to go water-skiing create a conflict in the story?
Both sisters want to go water-skiing, but only one knows how to water ski.
Jenna wants Sofia to go, but Sofia already has plans to meet her friends at the barn.
Jenna wants Sofia to go, but Sofia prefers to stay home.
Both sisters want to go, but only one was invited by the Watsons.

Song of the Open Road
by Walt Whitman
Afoot and light-hearted, I take to the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose.
Henceforth I ask not good-fortune—I myself am good-fortune;
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing,
Strong and content, I travel the open road. . . .
From this hour, freedom!
From this hour I ordain myself loos’d of limits and imaginary lines,
Going where I list, my own master, total and absolute,
Listening to others, and considering well what they say,
Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating,
Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me.
I inhale great draughts of space;
The east and the west are mine, and the north and the south are mine.
I am larger, better than I thought;
I did not know I held so much goodness.
All seems beautiful to me;
I can repeat over to men and women, You have done such good to me, I would do the same to you.
I will recruit for myself and you as I go;
I will scatter myself among men and women as I go;
I will toss the new gladness and roughness among them;
Whoever denies me, it shall not trouble me;
Whoever accepts me, he or she shall be blessed, and shall bless me.
Read this line from "Song of the Open Road."
Going where I list, my own master, total and absolute,
What does the phrase "going where I list" mean in the poem?
listing important things in life

following a set of directions
making a list of places to go
Answer:
Going the same way the wind moves.
Explanation:
"list" can mean to lean, so "Going where I lean" could be interpreted as leaning with the wind, which adds to the tone of freedom in the poem. Also I took the test. I had some difficulty with this question, so I hope this helps.

A. Octave
Explanation:
20 Points. I am currently writing a novel, and I need to have your honest opinion of the beginning. Not, this is a backstory of how the character Winter got into where she is currently in chapter one. Please give an honest opinion.
Let me tell you a story, starting from the beginning.
"No no no no no no no!" Winter raced through he woods trying to find a safe place to hide.
There was no place to hide. She was alone.
She couldn't turn back, because behind her was a killer. A killer who had slaughtered her entire family, and is now after her. She is scared, hurt and desperately trying to get away. The killer was a demon, and she was human. There was absolutely no way she could outrun him, but she could try. Winter was a survivor. And she strives to survive any situation, even insane demonic ex's named Cain.
So there she was, running for her life from the man who trapped her and promised her eternal suffering so long as she still existed. So she stops and hides in a hollowed out tree. She knows she is not safee, she never was safe to begin with. so she just sits there and waits. She's only human, so she can only run for so long. Her legs are tired, screaming at her in agony. And her heart is pounding right out of her chest.
"Winter~ Come on out my snowflake, I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to see you" She could hear his voice echoing, his voice alone sent shivers through her. The voice of a psycho that wanted to see her suffer. It terrified her and she constantly wondered why it was her he went after.
"WINTER! I know you're hiding, i can't hear your footsteps anymore." He was close "Come. out. now." Her hear rate increased ten times over and she struggled to breathe, she was having a panic attack. She was crying, she let all the grief of what had just happened sink in. She let the fact of her impending doom sink in, and she cried. Then she saw him, he was right in front of her, she continued to cry softly, letting out pained whispered screams. He yanked her out by her arm and held her arms tight and just smiled at her.
"Got you now little snowflake. It's time to bring out the sun so you can melt away." She stared in his eyes, shaking her head no, she couldn't speak, she couldn't move, and she was scared as hell. There was nothing she could do. So he dragged her back to her house, the same house that he turned to a slaughterhouse for her family.
In the living room where her little brother lied mangled in the corner, he let her go. She immediately collapsed to her knees staring at the ground in fear, disbelief and pain. She couldn't get up and run because her legs were tired and practically useless as of now. She was useless.
"Why so grim love? You did this to yourself. You and your little ways that got me to fall in love with you. A sheep and a ravenous demon. How'd that turn out for you?" Cain grinned. She didn't answer. she just kept quiet.
"Well then, you must know what time it is now don't you?" She did. He was going to send her to a hell. A world she knew nothing of, a world full of danger that she would be trapped in, for eternity. She did not move, she just waited for her fate to come.
Now, I know you're wondering, 'Why would anyone wish anything like this upon another living being?' Well, let me give you a few simple answers. Cain was a psycho, in the worst way he could possibly be. Not only that, he was a sadistic freak that adored to see Winter in pain. Why Winter? Well I personally wonder the same thing myself. You see, Cain loved her, and at one point she loved him. At the time, she did not know he was a raging psychopath. She just loved him.
He promised her love, love beyond anything that her world could offer. But as time passed, she realized how much of a monster he was. His true sadistic nature revealed itself, and she broke up with him. He would not take that. He loved her, and he was insane, so he promised her he would be back, and he would destroy everyone she ever loved. He was going to give her a fate worse than death, by sending her somewhere she could never escape, somewhere that is completely inhuman. He was sending her to a practical hell, and she had no idea as to where or what it was.
And the only funny thing about this story is that she is me.
And today I woke up in hell
Answer:
This is really good!!
Explanation:
I really enjoyed your writing and I like how you have set this story up!! The story is extremely intriguing and I almost didn't want to stop reading. I love your descriptive language and it makes the story feel alive. The scenarios feel real and its easy to put yourself in the place of Winter (who is an interesting character) and feel sorry for her and her situation. The one thing I think that could help this even more is maybe some even more descriptive words when describing her running away from Cain (she heard every leaf crunch under her feet and cringed at the thought of him hearing her, she felt the cold breeze and stiff air more than ever alone in that tree and she sat in the short amount of safety that was given to her in that moment, she heard Cains manic laugh echo through the forest, ect.). I feel as though this could make that scene even more better than it already is!! :)
I love this idea and your creativity! Keep writing, this will be amazing!!
Dear Lucifer,
I absolutely Adore it, I wan't to read the book now. so keep updating. I feel like it's exciting and amazing, but all this information is like a smack in the face. Try to spread it out so it can fit on more than one page. Have fun with your writing Luci.

Which of the following is the best example of foreshadowing by Frederick Douglass in Chapter 7 of his autobiography?
“I lived in Master Hugh’s family about seven years.”
“During this time, I succeeded in learning to read and write.”
“... to make her equal to the task of treating me as though I were a brute.”
“I had no regular teacher.”
Answer:
The correct answer is “I had no regular teacher.”
Explanation:
The foreshadowing is a literary device in which a writer gives an anticipated hint of what will come later in the story. It often appears at the beginning of a story or chapter, and helps the reader develop expectations about upcoming events.
In this case we have the phrase "I had no regular teacher".
The experience that Frederick Douglass acquired in life was what served him to fight for his freedom.
