Should the voting age be lowered to thirteen?

Write a 3-5 paragraph essay detailing your view regarding the question above.

Voting isn't the most exciting thing, but it gives Americans the freedom to have their voices heard. You gain the right to vote when you turn eighteen years of age but should this be lowered? Should the youth have a say in who and what goes on in the government? How young should the age be if that were to be even considered?

In my opinion, lowering the age to those who are thirteen years old would greatly impact the elections. According to some research, there are many pros and cons in doing such a thing, but it seems as though the scale is a bit heavier on the pro side. According to Lowering the Voting Age by Britannica Procom.org, Younger kids are "just as knowledgeable about civics and have the same ability to make good voting choices as older voters." By lowering the voting age, it will increase voter turnouts. This will help with the close calls and last-minute ties, much like this year's election. Not only will it boost interest in politics at a young age but, as they grow older, they are more likely to participate in elections. It also will help them develop cold cognitive skills and their ability to gather information and make well thought out cognitive decisions.

Although there are some cons, the pros seem quite promising. Being that this decision would have such a good outcome is my reasoning for why I believe that lowering the age is a good idea. The impact would have on the politics of this century would be historical.

In the above excerpt Welly is using what literary device?

Read the passage and answer the question.

[1]Nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of the
tree yuccas.Tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in that
triangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the Sierras and coastwise hills. The
yucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old
[5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. After its death, which is
slow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes even
the moonlight fearful. But it isn't always this way. Before the yucca has come to flower, while
yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full of
sugary sap, the Indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their
[10] own delectation.

Why does the author use the word "prize" to describe the bloom of the yucca tree (line 9)?

To communicate how rare it is to find the bloom
To emphasize the deliciousness of the bloom
To highlight the color and shape of the bloom
To show how to prepare the bloom for eating

What's in a Name?

Mucus is a great word, not only because it gives name to an important bodily function, but also because it is one of those words that simultaneously makes you feel grossed-out and giggly. Other words for this powerfully important human-health tool include slime and phlegm. Slang words for mucus include boogers and snot. All of these words have the same giggle-power, simply from the combination of consonants and vowels. By the way, mucus is an old word; it's been around since the mid-1600s and has roots back to Latin (mucere, to be moldy or musty) and Greek (myxa, mucus). While you may assume that words like snot and boogers are relatively new slang terms, they are not. Snot dates to 1560 and comes from an Old English word, gesnot, and has the same root as the word snout. The word booger is not quite as old but has been in use since the 1890s.

Which line from "Making the Most of Mucus" best states the main point of the essay? (1 point)


a

It's a great word that conjures up visions of slime and unpleasantness.
