Read the following nonfiction and fictionalized accounts of Lewis and Clark's arrival at the Pacific Ocean in 1805. First, identify a way in which both accounts are similar. Then explain how information is presented differently in the fictionalized account and what effect the different presentation of events has on the reader.
Nonfiction:
In mid-November, 1805, Lewis and Clark and their Corps of Discovery finally reached the Pacific Ocean. The expedition had left St. Louis over a year and a half earlier in order to locate the mythical "Northwest Passage," supposedly a series of rivers that would connect the east and west coasts of North America. But it didn't exist, and instead they came upon the jagged peaks of the Rocky Mountains and found only great hardship and suffering. But they persevered and pushed forward to the Pacific, where they hoped to find passage home by ship. With none to be found, they constructed Fort Clatsop and waited through another bitter winter, suffering more misery and sickness, until the weather broke and the Corps of Discovery headed east for St. Louis in late March 1806.
Fiction:
The men of the Corps of Discovery scrambled down the sandy dune like children romping in a snowstorm. They charged toward the endless expanse of grey, churning water, as if touching it could erase the struggle and suffering of the last eighteen months. One by one, though, their heads moved from the hypnotic, lapping surf to the space just above the horizon line, searching for a mast or a sail, or any sign of a sailing vessel moving in the distance. And when none could be found, each face glazed over with the understanding that the journey they thought was complete was only halfway done. One by one they turned from the rhythmic, lulling Pacific and faced east, looking at the thick forests and angry mountains they had hoped never to enter again.
Answer:
Compare: both stories accurately depict their adventures/have the same info
Contrast: the fictional story has more details
Explanation:
The first paragraph is informational. The second uses more illustrative words like "scrambled," "romping," "charged," and generally creates an image in your head with imagery, metaphors, similes, etc.
please double check and happy learning! hope this helped, have a good day/night :>

Read the excerpt from the play Apple Picking:
Characters:
- Mischa
- Luke
- Mom
- Dad
Scene One
On an overcast autumn afternoon in the middle of a field with many apple trees. A brother and a sister have a ladder up against an apple tree. One is picking apples and placing them in a sack tied around her waist. The other is holding the ladder steady.
Mischa: (standing on the ladder and looking at an apple) I'm not so sure about these. They have a ton of spots and are not quite ripe.
Luke: That's alright, we're just making a pie for Sunday dinner anyway. No one will see the spots, and we can add sugar to sweeten them up.
Mischa: (Nodding in approval) Yeah, I guess you're right. Mom always likes her pie apples to be a little firm anyways.
Suddenly, the wind begins to blow strongly making the ladder tip back and forth slightly.
Mischa: (With an alarmed look on her face.) What's going on? There isn't supposed to be a storm today! We'll never make it back to our house before it hits!
Luke: (Holding onto the ladder as hard as he can) You need to come down! I can't hold the ladder much longer!
Mischa carefully but swiftly climbs down the ladder while the wind is still blowing. Luke holds on to the ladder as it sways back and forth. Mischa makes it to the bottom. They both look toward dark clouds rolling in quickly with thunder and lightning.
Luke: (Yelling over the storm) We'd better find some shelter! (Pointing toward a rundown old farmhouse.) I think there's an old farm house that way!
Mischa: (Also yelling) You lead the way. I'm too scared!
Luke: (Grabbing her by the hand) It's going to be okay! Run with me!
Both children run to the old farmhouse holding each other's hand. When they make it there, they enter through an open window.
Scene Two
In the kitchen of the old farmhouse. There is an old dusty table and chairs, but everything else including the stove is gone. The windows are broken, the curtains tattered, and the wallpaper peeling. The wind is picking up and blowing through. The children are calming down. Mischa looks out the broken window where a large dead tree sits close to the house, while Luke sits at the old table. The sack of apples sits on the table.
Mischa: It's almost here Luke. The branches on the trees are swaying all over the place.
Luke: (Looking at the old tree through the window) Come away from the window Mischa. It's a really bad storm, that's for sure.
Mischa: (sitting down in the chair opposite Luke.) I think it's a tornado.
Luke: It's not a tornado, but those are some heavy winds.
The wind picks up and the curtains sway violently. Something smacks up against the side of the house.
Luke: What was that? It's picking up.
Mischa: Where are Mom and Dad? Why aren't they here to help us?
Luke: Never mind that. We need to worry about ourselves right now. I think we should go down to the ...
Suddenly, a tree branch hits the window smashing it even more than it was. Luke and Mischa scream.
Mischa: (Yelling) To the basement!
The children run toward the basement when Mischa stops and turns back.
Luke: (Still yelling) What are you doing? Come back!
Mischa: (Still yelling) The apples! I need to grab the apples!
Luke: Mischa no!
Mischa runs to grab the apples. She gets a hold of the sack and turns around toward the basement again. As she gets to the basement door, the old large tree snaps, cracks, and falls through the kitchen wall. She is okay, but shaken.
How does the structure in scene one complement the events in scene two?
Scene one describes only two of the characters that will appear in the next scene. Nothing tells the reader about their relationship in scene one.
Scene one describes the setting, introduces the characters, and introduces a storm that calms down in in the scene.
The first scene describes the setting, introduces the characters, and introduces the storm that the characters will face in scene two.
Scene one introduces the characters, and introduces the outdoor setting that the characters interact in throughout the play.

"They should waterski, please across a poem's surface wave at the name of the author on the sand." Speaking of ways to grasp and explore a poem, of experiencing it and allowing it lead you, but all readers want to do is swiftly and simply comprehend it.
Thus, option A is correct.

Mr. Ridley
On the Friday before winter break, Mrs. Lyon was out sick with a cold. So, Mr. Ridley substituted for the day. Most of the students in Mrs. Lyon's class were normally well-behaved. However, with the anticipation of the winter break, they became a little wild. While Mr. Ridley was writing on the dry erase board, Margo threw a paper airplane at his back. The class giggled as Mr. Ridley spun around to see who had thrown the paper airplane.
"Class! Throwing paper airplanes at a teacher is unacceptable and disrespectful. Who did that?" Mr. Ridley asked.
The students kept their mouths closed and sat up straight in their chairs. No one volunteered any information.
"Fine then, you will all stay in from recess until someone tells me who threw the airplane," Mr. Ridley said.
Mercy wiggled in her seat. She wanted to tell the teacher who threw the airplane, but she was afraid that the other students would call her a tattle tale.
Alan, the class clown, was thrilled that someone besides him had done something foolish. He would never tell. He would expect the same loyalty from his classmates.
Margo felt nervous. She wanted to confess and apologize to Mr. Ridley, but she was afraid that she would receive a harsh punishment. She wondered how long her classmates would protect her.
Jervis sat and drummed his fingers. He didn't see who threw the paper airplane, but he guessed that it had been Alan. He was tempted to raise his hand and tell the teacher that Alan was the responsible party, but he wasn't completely confident. He really wished that someone would tell who did it. It wasn't fair that the whole class was being punished for one person's mistake.
Rosania was happy that the class wasn't going to recess. She had terrible allergies and wanted to stay inside. She hoped that no one would say a word until recess time was over.
Mr. Ridley walked around the classroom looking at each student's face as he went by. He thought he detected sweat and shaking when he walked by Fred. He wondered if Fred was the culprit. However, Fred just needed to use the restroom but was afraid to ask.
"Fred, you seem a bit anxious. What is it you want to tell me?" Mr. Ridley asked.
"Nothing, sir. I-I need to use the restroom," Fred stammered.
"No one is leaving this room until I find out who threw that airplane at me," Mr. Ridley said.
Margo could not allow her classmates to suffer any longer.
"It was me! I threw it! I'm sorry, Mr. Ridley," Margo said as she burst into tears.
Mr. Ridley hated to see children cry. He rushed over to Margo and gently patted her back.
"I forgive you. Don't cry," Mr. Ridley said.
"I was just being silly. I didn't mean to disrespect you," Margo sniffled.
"We will forget all about it. Let's enjoy the rest of our day together. Because you were honest, we will all play games for the rest of the day," Mr. Ridley announced.
In the passage, the author contrasts the points of view of the different characters by
A.
explaining how each character feels about the airplane incident.
B.
describing the relationships between all of the characters.
C.
demonstrating the consequences of each character's actions.

Explain why this sentence uses passive voice. The flowers are trimmed by Jill every month.
Answer:
it uses passive voice because they are trying to point out the main part. it wanted to point out that the flowers were trimmed by jill every month so it pointed out that jill trims the flowers every month
Explanation:
In English, the passive voice is used when we want to emphasize certain part of the sentence, such as the person or the thing affected by the action. In this case, the writer of the sentence wants to focus attention on the object (the flowers) by putting them at the beginning of the sentence, thus making it the subject (and the most important component of the sentence).

Read the passage to answer the question in the first paragraph of a tale of two brothers the author describes Jacob and William S2 brothers who changed the world of fairytales use at least one detail from the text and explain how grimms stories changed fairytales
Answer:There's a certain irony to "Grimm's Fairy Tales." Two-hundred years ago today, Jacob Grimm and his younger brother Wilhelm published a collection of folk tales. The Grimms didn't write these stories; they collected tales that had been handed down from generation to generation. The Brothers Grimm worried that industrialization would erase these classics from memory. So they set out to protect these ancient tales.
However, in preserving this rich tradition, the Brothers Grimms changed the stories forever.
Many readers would be shocked to look at the first-edition stories of Rapunzel, The Frog Prince, Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, or Snow White. Their plots have changed a lot over the years.

hunt
members
elks
club

kansas
Answer:

Explanation:
Mr. & Mrs. = always capitalized before a name
Hunt = that's their last name and names are proper nouns
Elks Club = because it refers to a specific club. what club is it ? an elks club. but if it said they were member of a club, you wouldn't have to capitalize it cause it isnt specific!
Topeka, Kansas = specific locations/places are proper nouns and need to be capitalized

B)Jane needs to apologize for her behavior to earn Mrs. Reed’s forgiveness.
C)Jane must express her own perceptions and emotions in her quest for independence.
D)Jane is learning how to understand why she is being asked to leave Mrs. Reed’s home.

1 I gathered my energies and launched them in this blunt sentence—
2 “I am not deceitful: if I were, I should say I loved you; but I declare I do not love you: I dislike you the worst of anybody in the world except John Reed; and this book about the liar, you may give to your girl, Georgiana, for it is she who tells lies, and not I.”
3 Mrs. Reed’s hands still lay on her work inactive: her eye of ice continued to dwell freezingly on mine.
4 “What more have you to say?” she asked, rather in the tone in which a person might address an opponent of adult age than such as is ordinarily used to a child.
5 That eye of hers, that voice stirred every antipathy I had. Shaking from head to foot, thrilled with ungovernable excitement, I continued—
6 “I am glad you are no relation of mine: I will never call you aunt again as long as I live. I will never come to see you when I am grown up; and if any one asks me how I liked you, and how you treated me, I will say the very thought of you makes me sick, and that you treated me with miserable cruelty.”
7 “How dare you affirm that, Jane Eyre?”
8 “How dare I, Mrs. Reed? How dare I? Because it is the truth. You think I have no feelings, and that I can do without one bit of love or kindness; but I cannot live so: and you have no pity. I shall remember how you thrust me back—roughly and violently thrust me back—into the red-room, and locked me up there, to my dying day; though I was in agony; though I cried out, while suffocating with distress, ‘Have mercy! Have mercy, Aunt Reed!’ And that punishment you made me suffer because your wicked boy struck me—knocked me down for nothing. I will tell anybody who asks me questions, this exact tale. People think you a good woman, but you are bad, hard-hearted. You are deceitful!”
