Answer:
outh ice-hockey team The Mighty Ducks and their captain Charlie Conway are awarded the junior varsity hockey scholarships to Eden Hall Academy, a prestigious Minneapolis-area prep school that Coach Bombay attended. Charlie struggles with his transition from childhood to adolescence; he thinks he was abandoned by Bombay when the latter informs him that he intends to take a job with the Junior Goodwill Games, which would leave him unable to coach the Ducks; one of the Ducks' enforcers, Dean Portman, also decided not to attend the school after hearing about Bombay's leaving and Jesse Hall also does not attend. Bombay informs Charlie prior to the start of classes that the team will be in good hands under the tutelage of coach Ted Orion, a former NHL player.
The Ducks' start at the school begins inauspiciously; while the newer Ducks respectfully sit in at the headmaster's speech, the original teammates crash the ceremony on stage. The team then experience many early struggles: playing in the new "two-way hockey" defensive style of Coach Orion, Orion abandoning several Duck traditions and some of their youthful in-game 'trick' plays, and off-ice conflicts with the Varsity team. The Ducks' struggles continue, culminating in a tie in their first game after having a huge lead. Eventually, when Coach Orion restricts the old Ducks uniform after an unsanctioned early morning match with the Varsity team to settle their differences, Charlie decides to leave the team to return to public schools and seek a hockey career. Fulton follows, but considers quitting hockey much to Charlie's dismay. Sometime later, he ultimately returns to the team without Charlie.
Angry at Bombay's departure and at Orion's highly disciplined coaching style, Charlie's acting out alienates him from his mother, Hans (Gordon's old mentor and friend of the Ducks), and even his friends. Hans suddenly dies, and Bombay comes to Charlie's house the day following the funeral and takes him back to Eden Hall. He tells Charlie that Orion's career with the Minnesota North Stars ended when the team moved to Dallas and he stayed to care for his paraplegic daughter. Bombay tells Charlie the background story on how he first came to coach the Ducks and says he told Orion that Charlie was the heart and soul of the team, and it was his hope that both Orion and Charlie would learn something from each other. Bombay also admits telling Orion that Charlie was the real "Minnesota Miracle" man. Emotionally touched by his words, Charlie agrees to rejoin the team.
Arriving at the team bus for the next game, Charlie tells Orion he wants to play "two-way hockey". Surprised but pleased, Coach Orion welcomes him back. Before they depart, Dean Buckley, the school's headmaster, informs the team that its board of trustees wants to revoke the Ducks' scholarships and offers Orion a chance to start anew with a team of his choice. Satisfied with the team, Coach Orion balks at the news, threatening resignation. At a board meeting the following day, Bombay, who was an experienced lawyer before coaching the Ducks, acts as the Ducks' attorney and fights successfully for their case, and the board reinstates the Duck's scholarships.
Prior to the annual JV–Varsity game, Orion brings back the Duck jerseys, giving the team a renewed vigor. Throughout the game, the Varsity dominates on offense. However, the Ducks play good defense and manage to keep the game scoreless after two periods. During the second intermission, Dean Portman returns to the team (having finally accepted his scholarship), adding a needed spark. Late in the game, the Ducks get two penalties and must play 5 vs 3. During the time-out, Orion reinstates Charlie as captain and tells him to go for the win if the opportunity presents itself. With seconds left in the game, Charlie gets a breakaway and beats all the defensemen and goalie; he passes the puck back to Goldberg, now a defenseman, who scores into an wide-open net as time expires, securing a 1–0 victory for the Ducks.
Following the victory, Charlie embraces Orion and spots Bombay who has attended the game, and they both look across the rink to a newly-presented Eden Hall banner with the Ducks' logo. Bombay then departs the game amid a sea of cheering fans, with a smile.

Read the excerpt from Homecoming.
At half-past eight, Dicey herded everybody back into the mall, to use the bathrooms they had found earlier. Later, Sammy and Maybeth fell asleep easily, curled up along the back seat. James moved up to the front with Dicey. Dicey couldn't see how they were both to sleep in the front seat, but she supposed they would manage it. James sat stiffly, gripping the wheel. James had a narrow head and sharp features, a nose that pointed out, pencil-thin eyebrows, a narrow chin. Dicey studied him in the darkening car. They were parked so far from the nearest lamppost that they were in deep shadows.
With her brothers and sisters near, with the two youngest asleep in the back seat, sitting as they were in a cocoon of darkness, she should feel safe. But she didn't. Though it was standing still, the car seemed to be flying down a highway, going too fast. Even the dark inside of it was not deep enough to hide them. Faces might appear in the windows at any time, asking angry questions.
Based on the excerpt, which best describes Dicey’s mood?
A: She is having a hard time feeling safe in the current situation.
B: She is in denial about her family’s present circumstances.
C:She is trying to stay upbeat and carefree whenever possible.
D: She is very distracted by what already happened to her family.

People respond differently to satire—some like it, others don't get it. In at least 150 words, describe what you think of Goines's narrative essay. Discuss whether you think his position is convincing.
Answer:
"Let Sleeping Dogs Lie" is a narrative essay published in Goines's book, The Free Speech Movement. This essay describes Goines's personal strategy for avoiding the draft during the Vietnam war. He sent letters stating he is not a rabi or any religious figure, he is not currently enrolled in a four-year university, nor is he the sole proprietor for his family. All of which would be more of a reason to enlist. However, sure enough, they "lost" his mailing address and he no longer received any letters for the draft. The satire Goines uses is somewhat of comedic relief. The situation is very dark, and it is unfair that he managed to avoid the draft but others had no choice but to enlist, so it is understandable if someone would be disgruntled in this situation. Satire is normally used for comedic effect - to mock - and may not be put in the appropriate situation; however, as someone who uses humor to cope, it is understandable and humorous when satire is used.

Read the excerpt below. What conclusion can you draw about the narrator?
Presently I heard a slight groan, and I knew it was the groan of mortal terror. It was not a groan of pain or of grief – oh, no! – it was the low stifled sound that arises from the bottom of the soul when overcharged with awe.
I knew the sound well. Many a night, just at midnight, when all the world slept, it has welled up from my own bosom, deepening, with its dreadful echo, the terrors that distracted me. I say I knew it well. I knew what the old man felt, and pitied him, although I chuckled at heart.
Question options:
A:He is a lonely person who longs for human connection.
B:He is a cruel person who enjoys torturing others.
C:The character cherishes the night.

A verb and it’s subject must agree in
Answer:
They must agree in number: singular or plural. If the subject is singular, the verb has to be singular.
Explanation:
They must agree in number or singular or plural. If the subject is singular, the verb has to be singular.
What happens when verb is modified?When verbs has been modified by the addition of -ing at the end, we either have a gerund or a present participle. Gerunds function as nouns, which means they can be the subject, the object, or the subject complement in the sentence. Present participles function as adjectives or as verbs that are part of a continuous tense.
In the sentence we are analyzing here, the word "applying" is part of a present continuous tense. That means it is a present participle, and it is functioning as a verb. The word "burning" is also a present participle, functioning as an adjective that accompanies and modifies the noun "skin". The word "applying" is a verb that functions as a verb, and "burning" is a verb that functions as an adjective.
Therefore, They must agree in number or singular or plural. If the subject is singular, the verb has to be singular.

What is the essay’s thesis? Is it explicit or implied? How could the thesis be stated more effectively? Does it have a Rogerian thesis, which states the opposing view first and then the author’s argument and position?
Is the Rogerian theory used in the essay? Does the essay mention the opposing viewpoint along with an unbiased restatement of that view and enough detail to show the reader both sides of the issue? If not, what does the author need to add for support?
What purpose does the essay serve—to inform, to evaluate, to persuade readers to accept a viewpoint, to eliminate misconceptions, or to call them to action?
What are the main points supporting the thesis? List the points. Is each supporting point developed sufficiently in the body paragraphs? If not, where is more support needed? Which points, subject, or paragraphs need more support?
Does the essay have Logos? Is it a sound, reasonable, logical argument, which is supported by facts, statistics etc.? If not, what does the author need to add?
Does the essay use Pathos? Do they use it well and is it effective? Or over-the-top? Is it appropriate for the audience? If not, what do they need to do?
Does the essay show Ethos? Is the author reliable and credible? If not, tell the author what they need to add into their essay or take out, which help make them more credible.
Does each paragraph have a topic sentence that tells the reader what point will be talked about next. If not, point out where they were weak and offer a suggestion.
Where would signal devices (also, likewise, in contrast) make it easier to see similarities and differences between the subjects being discussed?
Are there transitions within the topic sentences? Are they redundant or confusing? If so, where and how should they fix them?
What is the tone? Does the essay come off as condescending, sexist, or racist? If so, which sentences and words convey this tone? Offer suggestions on how to adjust the tone of the essay.
Could the Introduction or Conclusion paragraphs be strengthened? If so, what is your suggestion? Is there an anecdote, fact, or statistic in the paper that could be moved to the conclusion?
Did you notice glaring misspellings, misplaced modifiers, fragments, run-ons, or punctuation mistakes? If so, circle them on their essay.
What are some of the strengths of this essay? What did this author do well?
Answer:
What is a thesis? • The thesis is a statement (usually a single sentence) that expresses the central idea or main argument of the
essay and reflects the writer’s purpose for writing it.
• It typically appears at the end of the introduction as the last sentence (though it may appear elsewhere).
• The thesis may be implied or explicitly stated, but it should always be evident to the reader.
• The thesis may differ in form depending on the type of writing (argumentative, persuasive, informative,
narrative, etc.).
• The thesis should be restated in a new and interesting way in the conclusion.
Explicit vs. Implied • An explicit thesis directly states the writer’s main idea/position and provides a clear direction for the essay.
Example: The most significant problems facing Africa are poverty, political corruption, and poor
healthcare.
• An implied thesis is not directly stated, but rather suggested through the writer’s ideas and supporting
points. Nonetheless, it should still provide an obvious focus for the reader.
Example: There are several serious problems facing Africa today that require attention.
Parts of a thesis (claim + road map): • Claim or main idea: This part states the main idea of the essay.
Example: Being a vegetarian is better than eating meat . . .
• Road map: This part lists the major supporting reason(s) discussed in the body of the essay. Note
that not all instructors require this part; always consult your professor’s instructions.
Example: . . . because it is healthier, less expensive, and doesn’t harm animals.
• Claim + Road Map = Entire Thesis Statement
Example: Being a vegetarian is better than eating meat because it is healthier, less expensive,
and doesn’t harm animals.
Things to Avoid • Don’t announce your thesis: In this essay, I am going to tell you about vegetarianism and why everyone
should adopt this lifestyle.
Note: Some instructors may, however, encourage this type of first-person statement; always refer
to your professor’s instructions.
• Don’t confuse your readers: The thesis should be clear and focus on ONE main idea.
• Don’t write the thesis as a fact: This doesn’t allow the writer to develop their ideas or prove anything
because the statement is already factual and does not require additional explanation.
• Don’t write the thesis as a question: This allows readers, rather than the writer, to determine the meaning
of the essay. For example, Don’t you think eating meat is inhumane? may be more effectively restated as
Eating meat is inhumane because . . .
Types of Thesis Statements
The purpose and form of a thesis may depend on the genre of writing.
Argumentative Thesis
• The argumentative thesis takes a clear position on a debatable issue/topic and suggests or states the
supporting reason(s) for that stance, which will be discussed further in the body of the essay.
Example: A vegetarian diet is better than a diet that includes meat because a vegetarian diet is
healthier, less expensive, and more humane toward animals.

Deducing from the diction, which of the following are possible audiences for the memoir? Select all that apply.
train conductors and passengers
Caucasian adults interested in American history
children of three and four years of age like ones in the memoir
African-American adults from the South who can relate to Angelou’s story
Links will be reported!!!!
I think that it could be all of the options. A memoir is never typically restricted to a specific age or race. The point of a memoir is to tell the memory's of a different time, and/or the opinions of the memoir's writer. I would select all for the answer, as the memoir is an educative form of literature which is not to be restricted to anyone without proper instruction.
Hope this helps and have a nice day.
