Submit your three or four-paragraph open letter about a current issue in your school or community that expresses your position on the topic and provides two claims and four pleces of supporting evidence (key facts, examples, detalls). Make it clear who you are addressing in the letter and what you hope to accomplish.

Answer: this is gonna be a long one lol

Explanation:

There are lots of issues in our community and in our schools, but one problem that seems to be in both is the fight for equality. We all want to be heard and understood but for some, it might be harder than others. This isn't just for one specific group it is for many and all.

Everyday, when you look at your phone or even just outside at the people what do you notice? They all look different, maybe the same in some ways but different in most. But physical features are just the beginning because underneath we all are unique and special. Some people embrace their uniqueness, but a lot hide it away in fear of unacceptance. For example, the fight for equal rights in black citizens, even though they say that fight ended a long time ago we can't ignore the fact that they are still looked at differently. Why? Who knows, and no, not everyone is like this but that doesn't make it easier for them. Another example, over 28.9% of black citizens are living below the poverty threshold as opposed to 18% white americans. Isn't that crazy? This is evidence that supports the thought about black citizens not having equal rights.

I hope that this has opened your mind to this issue. I want equality for all and a place where no matter what your skin looks like, where you were raised and even what happened long long ago in the early stages of this nation, you can live happily and to the fullest. We as a community can do our part and make this community a free, accepting, and fair place for us all to live.

Here is an example of an open letter:

To the Principal and the School Board,

I am writing to express my concern about the recent decision to cancel the annual school trip due to budget cuts. I believe that this decision is unfair and detrimental to the students’ learning and well-being. I urge you to reconsider this decision and find alternative ways to fund the trip.

The school trip is a valuable opportunity for students to explore new places, learn new things, and bond with their classmates and teachers. It is also a reward for their hard work and achievements throughout the year. The trip helps students develop important skills such as curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and communication. It also exposes them to different cultures, perspectives, and experiences that enrich their knowledge and understanding of the world.

By canceling the trip, you are depriving the students of these benefits and sending a message that their education and happiness are not a priority. You are also breaking a tradition that has been cherished by many generations of students and teachers. The trip is something that the students look forward to and prepare for all year long. It is a source of motivation and excitement for them.

I understand that the school is facing financial challenges and that you have to make difficult decisions. However, I think that there are other ways to save money without sacrificing the quality of education and the well-being of the students. For example, you could reduce unnecessary expenses such as printing costs, office supplies, or catering services. You could also seek donations or sponsorships from local businesses or organizations that support education. You could also organize fundraising events or activities that involve the students, parents, and teachers.

I hope that you will take my letter into consideration and reconsider your decision to cancel the school trip. I believe that the trip is a worthwhile investment that will benefit the students in many ways. I also believe that the school community can work together to find solutions to overcome the financial challenges. Please do not let the budget cuts ruin this valuable opportunity for the students.

Sincerely,

A concerned student

Read "Villanelle" by Victor James Daly. Then, answer the question that follows.

We said farewell, my youth and I,
When all fair dreams were gone or going,
And Love's red lips were cold and dry.

When white blooms fell from tree-tops high,
Our Austral winter's way of snowing,
We said farewell, my youth and I.

We did not sigh, what use to sigh
When Death passed as a mower mowing,
And Love's red lips were cold and dry?

But hearing Life's stream thunder by,
That sang of old through flowers flowing,
We said farewell, my youth and I.

There was no hope in the blue sky,
No music in the low winds blowing,
And Love's red lips were cold and dry.

My hair is black as yet, then why
So sad! I know not, only knowing
We said farewell, my youth and I.

All are not buried when they die;
Dead souls there are through live eyes showing
When Love's red lips are cold and dry.

So, seeing where the dead men lie,
Out of their hearts the grave-flowers growing,
We said farewell, my youth and I,
When Love's red lips were cold and dry.

How does the form of the villanelle impact the meaning of Daly's poem?

A) Repetition of two lines throughout emphasizes the point that the speaker grew up and lost hope when their heart was broken.

B) Fourteen lines are divided into an octave about falling in love and a sestet about heartbreak.
C)There is no rhyme scheme or meter, which makes the poem seem like an informational paragraph about growing old.
D)The shift and the couplet explain that growing up is hard, but having good friends makes it much easier.

Mr. Avery boarded across the street from Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose's house. Besides
making change in the collection plate every Sunday, Mr. Avery sat on the porch every night until
nine o'clock and sneezed. One evening we were privileged to witness a performance by him
which seemed to have been his positively last, for he never did it again so long as we watched.
Jem and I were leaving Miss Rachel's front steps one night when Dill stopped us: "Golly, looka
yonder." He pointed across the street. At first we saw nothing but a kudzu-covered front porch,
but a closer inspection revealed an arc of water descending from the leaves and splashing in the
yellow circle of the street light, some ten feet from source to earth, ensuing contest to determine
relative distances and respective prowess only made me feel left out again, as I was untalented in
this area.
