Please I need help!!!
From "The Tyranny of Things" by Elizabeth Morris

Once upon a time, when I was very tired, I chanced to go away to a little house by the sea. "It is empty," they said, "but you can easily furnish it." Empty! Yes, thank Heaven! Furnish it? Heaven forbid! Its floors were bare, its walls were bare, its tables there were only two in the house were bare. There was nothing in the closets but books; nothing in the bureau drawers but the smell of clean, fresh wood; nothing in the kitchen but an oil stove, and a few a very few dishes; nothing in the attic but rafters and sunshine, and a view of the sea. After I had been there an hour there descended upon me a great peace, a sense of freedom, of in finite leisure. In the twilight I sat before the flickering embers of the open fire, and looked out through the open door to the sea, and asked myself, "Why?" Then the answer came: I was emancipated from things. There was nothing in the house to demand care, to claim attention, to cumber my consciousness with its insistent, unchanging companionship. There was nothing but a shelter, and outside, the fields and marshes, the shore and the sea. These did not have to be taken down and put up and arranged and dusted and cared for. They were not things at all, they were powers, presences.

And so I rested. While the spell was still unbroken, I came away. For broken it would have been, I know, had I not fled first. Even in this refuge the enemy would have pursued me, found me out, encompassed me.

If we could but free ourselves once for all, how simple life might become! One of my friends, who, with six young children and only one servant, keeps a spotless house and a soul serene, told me once how she did it. "My dear, once a month I give away every single thing in the house that we do not imperatively need. It sounds wasteful, but I don’t believe it really is. Sometimes Jeremiah mourns over missing old clothes, or back numbers of the magazines, but I tell him if he doesn’t want to be mated to a gibbering maniac he will let me do as I like."

The old monks knew all this very well. One wonders sometimes how they got their power; but go up to Fiesole, and sit a while in one of those little, bare, white-walled cells, and you will begin to understand. If there were any spiritual force in one, it would have to come out there.

I have not their courage, and I win no such freedom. I allow myself to be overwhelmed by the invading host of things, making fitful resistance, but without any real steadiness of purpose. Yet never do I wholly give up the struggle, and in my heart, I cherish an ideal, remotely typified by that empty little house beside the sea.


Which of the following words from the excerpt identify what Morris values more than things?

Choose one answer from each group. Type the LETTER ONLY for each answer in the correct blank.

Type B, C, or D for Blank 1.

B. Resistance
C. Magazines
D. Freedom

Type E, F, or G for Blank 2.
E. Peace
F. Attention
G. Demand

Type H, I, or J for Blank 3.
H. Struggle
I. Embers
J. Leisure

The things Morris values the most are Freedom, Peace and Struggle.

This can be seen by reading the text above, where Morris says that the empty house by the sea promotes a great peace for her. Emptiness is pacifying in her life and this peace allows her to feel free and happy.

Peace and freedom are things she values above all things and that's why she shows how the monks and her friend are wise to be detached from material things.

However, she likes to live in the struggle that the accumulation of things promotes. At the end of the text, she says that she enjoys this fight and that's why she can't let go of everything.

In this case, we can say that freedom, peace and struggle are the things she values.

It is important to note that "The Tyranny of Things" is an essay written by Elisabeth Woodbridge Morris where she explores the dangers of consumerism that is so ingrained in our society.

Read this conclusion from "Heads Up on Sports Safety."

Do the precautions of these helmets mean that football is safe? Football and other sports are safer; however, even with the best helmet, head trauma is still possible, especially after the head has been hit repeatedly. More information is still surfacing about the long-term possible effects of head injury to professional athletes.

Now read the supporting text appearing next to a photo of a 1904 football game in the article.

1904 football game between the University of Chicago and the University of Michigan. That year there were 18 football deaths and 159 serious injuries, due to lack of proper helmets, safety equipment, and loose rules. President Theodore Roosevelt urged the colleges to make the game safer. However, in 1905, there were still 19 player deaths and 137 serious injuries.

How does the supporting text of the 1904 football game relate to the purpose of the main text?

It shows how sports safety has not changed over time.
It describes how football games are played.
It provides an example of danger in sports in the past.
It illustrates the popularity of team sports in America.

A mirage is one of the amazing natural phenomena that occurs on earth which is one of the planets in the solar system.
Do you know how mirage happen?
The beginning of the mirage was due to the difference in temperature density between cold air and hot air temperatures in the atmosphere above the earth's crust. Cool air temperatures have a denser and heavier density than hot air temperatures which have a lower density and are lighter.
Because of this, the hot air layer will be close to the soil layer and trapped by the cooler air layer above it, so that the light will refract towards the horizontal line on the view and travel upwards due to the internal influence. Total internal reflection is a process of light reflection that occurs on the boundary surface between one medium and another, which has a smaller refractive index, if the angel of incidence to the second medium exceeds a certain critical angel. And the light that is in a medium with a high refractive index will travel to a medium with a lower refractive index.
When this light is seen by our eyes, the we will see it as if there are shadows of types of water which are called mirage.

I'm writing this for English is there anything I should add/change?

Dickens describes France with disdain when he writes that they “... rolled with exceeding smoothness down hill, making paper money and spending it.” (Dickens 7). While the commoners starve the aristocracy live an extravagant and luxurious lifestyle. Dickens shows us the aristocracy is ruining France’s economy by saying they “... rolled with exceeding smoothness down hill…” This example tells us that France is quickly and effortlessly getting worse. The connotation of this example can be compared to a saying when something goes “downhill,” this means it becomes worse or less successful, which perfectly describes France’s economy. Saying France is making “paper” money and then immediately “spending it” shows that they are not worried about the commoners, they continue to live their lavish lifestyle even at the cost of people's lives.

Read this paragraph from Chapter 1 of To Kill A Mockingbird.
"Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it. In rainy wepther the streets turned to
red slop: grass grew on the sidewalks, the courthouse sagged in the square. Somehow it was hotter then: a black
dog suffered on a summers day, bony mules hitched to Hoover carts flicked flies in the sweltering shade of the
live oaks on the square. Men's stiff collars wilted by nine in the morning. Ladies bathed before noon, after their
three-o'clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum."
