Read this excerpt from "The Day the Gulls Went Crazy" by
Susan E. Quinlan.
What is the author's purpose in this paragraph?
O to describe what Larry does with the gulls' eggs
to highlight how defensive gulls are of their nests
to explain how Larry used his cleverness to capture
gulls
Capturing and rebanding an adult gull is much more difficult
than capturing a small flightless chick. Resourceful as always,
Larry developed a special capture technique. He rigged up a
tool using a rope noose, monofilament fishing line, and a fishing
pole. Knowing the fight a two-and-a-half-pound adult gull might
put up, he scared the bird off its nest and replaced its fragile
eggs with dummy eggs. Next, he laid the noose around the nest
and moved away. A trail of fishing line led from the noose to the
fishing pole and reel in his hands. Crouching low, Larry waited
for the retum of the bird in need of rebanding. When the
moment was right, he reeled in the line, tightening the noose
around the gulls legs.
O to emphasize the materials that Larry used

pole."

Read this excerpt from "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty."


Walter Mitty stopped the car in front of the building where his wife went to have her hair done. "Remember to get those overshoes while I’m having my hair done," she said. "I don’t need overshoes," said Mitty. She put her mirror back into her bag. "We’ve been all through that," she said, getting out of the car. "You’re not a young man any longer." He raced the engine a little. "Why don’t you wear your gloves? Have you lost your gloves?" Walter Mitty reached in a pocket and brought out the gloves. He put them on, but after she had turned and gone into the building and he had driven on to a red light, he took them off again.


How does the contrast between Mitty's view of himself and the reader's view of Mitty affect the story in "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty"?


It adds humor to the story, since Mitty acts out all of his fantasies among people who have no idea what he's doing.

Answers

Hello. You forgot the answer options. The options are:

It creates sympathy for Mitty since readers recognize that his fantasies show how he'd like to be, not how he actually is.

It builds suspense in the story, as each of Mitty's fantasies places him in more and more danger in reality.

It injects tension in the story, as readers wait to see whether Mitty's wife will realize that her husband is unhappy.

It adds humor to the story, since Mitty acts out all of his fantasies among people who have no idea what he's doing.

Answer:

It creates sympathy for Mitty since readers recognize that his fantasies show how he'd like to be, not how he actually is.

Explanation:

"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" that tells the story of Mitty, who is a man who disconnects himself from the reality in which he lives, constantly, and finds himself trapped in heroic daydreams totally outside the reality in which he is inserted. Although this is not valued by the characters in the book, it does create an empathy between the bed and Mitty. This is because the reader understands that Mitty's daydreams are a reflection of his dissatisfaction with the real world, thus, the daydreams he presents, are a vision of what he wanted to be.

Answer:

It adds humor to the story because Mitty imagines himself as a brave hero, while readers see him as meek and henpecked.

In South Dakota, Pine Ridge Indian Reservation is as big as Delaware and Rhode Island combined. It has some of the highest poverty rates in the United States. For three years, it has also hosted shows with music written for an orchestra by high school students.


"It's really a great thing to see these kids, and the pride that the reservation has in having these kids be stars," said David Gier. He is the music leader of the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra.


The yearly music academy is one part of the Lakota Music Project. It's a program developed with the orchestra and musicians of the Lakota Native American tribe. The goal is to create cultural cooperation, teaching people about the Lakota and the orchestra.


"Through music, we are able to show a side of us that nobody gets to see," said Emmanuel Black Bear, a singer. He has been part of the Lakota Music Project since 2009. The native people have "a rich culture," he said. "I wanted to be a part of something where we could show the positive side of our people through music."


Black Bear is bringing the Lakota Music Project to Washington, D.C. Native flute player Bryan Akipa and nine members of the South Dakota Symphony are also going. In October, Black Bear will perform at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian and at Washington National Cathedral. It is for a festival hosted by the PostClassical Ensemble. The goal is to show Native American influences on American music.


Matching Two Different Types Of Music Together

The Lakota Music Project "deserves to be more widely known," said Joseph Horowitz. He is the PostClassical Ensemble's leader.


The project began in 2005. It was soon after Gier started with the orchestra. He wanted to develop community programs, and he learned about tensions in his new community between Native and non-Native Americans.


Gier approached local leaders and experts. One was Ronnie Theisz, a writer of books on Lakota culture. The two men talked about creating a project.


An idea came one snowy evening at Pine Ridge. Some of the orchestra's musicians met with the Porcupine Singers, a drumming circle on the reservation. They played music for each other.


Gier said the keeper of the drum talked about singing old songs and passing on tradition to younger people. It was the main thing both groups shared.


There are plenty of differences, too. The timing of the two types of music is different, said Black Bear. "In the beginning, it was kind of difficult to match them together."


Hearing The Music Instead Of Trying To Change It

The first Lakota Music Project tour, in 2009, set themes for the concerts. Theisz became a leader on the project. He suggested grouping the concert around love and death, joy and sadness, with music from each culture. The second half had new works on Lakota themes.


The Lakota Music Project is coming to Washington because of Horowitz's support of the Indianist movement. It was in the early 1900s. American composers wrote music based on Native American themes. Horowitz calls it "a major American cultural event that's been totally forgotten."


From the Lakota point of view, however, the "Indianist" movement inappropriately uses Native American customs. It's based on a misunderstanding of Native traditions, they believe.


"Even when they loved to take source music from different Indian tribes," Theisz said of the Indianist composers, "they didn't appreciate it." They wanted to try to improve it, he said.


"We're trying to counter that," he said. "Hearing the real music is part of the project."


The Lakota Music Project's focus remains on building bridges through music.


"It's just human connection," Gier said, "and feeling like we can make a difference."

Someone asked Bill Gates ( the richest man in the world at the time), ” is there someone richer than you? ”

Gates said : ” Yes, there is. ” And he went on to tell this story:

One day I was waiting on my flight, then I went to buy a newspaper to this guy who was selling them, after I grabbed the newspaper, I looked for a change in my wallet, I couldn’t find it. Then the guy said to me, it’s okay you can take it.

Couple months later, Gates flew into that same airport and when he went to buy a newspaper, the same guy was selling them and the same thing happened. After he grabbed the newspaper, he couldn’t find any change in his wallet. Then the guy told him, it’s okay you can take it. Gates said no no, not again, you gave it to me last time for free, I can’t take it again. The guy replied, yes you can take it, I’ll deduct it from my profit, it’s not a loss to me, just take it. And Gates went on his way.

Couple years later, after Bill Gates became who he is now, with the fame and all the money in the world, he remembered this newspaper guy. He tracked him down, and after a month and half, he found the guy, and he asked him:

Gates : do you know who I am?

News paper guy : yes I do, you are Bill Gates.

Gates : do you remember me, giving me newspapers for free?

News paper guy : yes I do.

Gates: I want to repay for what you did for me back then. Name something that you want and I’ll fulfill it.

News paper guy : no, I cant.

Gates : why?

News paper guy : it’s not the same.

Gates : how do you mean?

News paper guy : when I helped you, I didn’t have anything. Yet I did. You want to repay me now, when you have everything! It’s not the same.

That’s when Bill Gates knew it’s far more great to have a rich heart than a lot of money. Here is to that!

Most introductions should include a hook and thesis statement. You should definitely include your point of why you're writing about the certain topic. If you're writing an opinion report, you should also include your reasons that you're going to explain. Everyone probably has a different view of how a report should be written, but I think these are the roles an introduction plays in a report.

O They both develop the historical setting.

Answers

Answer:

a

Explanation:

These excerpts have in common is they both develop the inequality theme. The correct option is a.

What is the theme?

A theme is a central topic, subject, or message within a narrative. Themes can be divided into two categories: a work's thematic concept is what readers "think the work is about" and its thematic statement is "what the work says about the subject". Themes are often distinguished from premises.

The most common contemporary understanding of a theme is an idea or point that is central to a story, which can often be summed in a single word. Typical examples of themes of this type conflict between the individual and society; coming of age; humans in conflict with technology; nostalgia; and the dangers of unchecked ambition. A theme may be exemplified by the actions, utterances, or thoughts of a character in a novel.

An example of this would be the thematic idea of loneliness in John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, wherein many of the characters seem to be lonely. It may differ from the thesis or the author's implied worldview.
