Explanation:
how to make an essay longer?
Answer:
i hope i helped you mabye not i tried sorry
Explanation:
Look Back at Your Prompt/Rubric/etc
Go Back Through Your Introduction and Conclusion
Have Someone Proofread Your Essay to see if you did good
Use Quotations
Read Your Paper Out Loud to see if it is good
Add Supporting Evidence
Ensure that You’ve Included Everything
Breakup Paragraphs
Answer:
Well first off, start at the beginning. Make sure you include sufficient background information, a good hook, and a good thesis. Background info are usually 2-4 sentences. The hook and thesis should be 1 sentence. (2 is max and pushing it).
For the body paragraphs:
Thesis statements at the beginning should be 1 sentence long.
The evidence should be good to well support what you are explaining, informing, entertaining, or arguing about. In a body paragraph, there is usually 1 to 2 evidences. 2 is better because it supports your reasons more. Along with these evidences comes the elaboration. These elaborations seem to want to be 1 sentence long, but don't let it make you. You should write maybe 2-4 sentences of elaboration, with 4 kind of pushing it. Make sure these sentences aren't run-on sentences as it can mislead information and take the reader away from the main topic. Transitions/restating the reason should take 1-2 sentences (2 pushing it a little).
If you are doing a argumentative essay, you will also include the counterclaim/argument. This will be 1-3 sentences long, where you describe the other side, give A reason why their side is somewhat better, than come back with saying why your reason is superior to the counter argument.
Finally, you have the conclusion. This will be restating your claim/thesis, adding a little background/forward thinking into it as well. Try leaving the reader with something to think about. The conclusions should usually be around 4 or 5 sentences.

The stray cat stalked down the street. Her walk was proud--she barely flinched when a car on the corner backfired. She reached the end of the street and made one majestic leap to the top of an open trash can, where, with great dignity, she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra.
Which detail from the text contains an allusion?
Answer:
D. ...she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra.
Explanation:
The detail from the text that contains an allusion is ''...she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra''
Allusion is known to be a brief and indirect reference to a person, thing, place or idea of historical significance. In allusion, it does not describe in detail the reference (i.e the person or thing to which it refers). It actually passes a comment. Then the writer actually expects the reader to understand the allusion and grasp its importance as used in a text.
In the above answer, the author makes allusion to the meal of broken bones referring it to ''a back alley Cleopatra''. Therefore, Option D is correct answer.
The Dawn’s Awake
By Otto Leland Bohanan
The Dawn’s awake!
A flash of smoldering flame and fire
Ignites the East. Then, higher, higher,
O’er all the sky so gray, forlorn1,
The torch of gold is borne.
The Dawn’s awake!
The dawn of a thousand dreams and thrills.
And music singing in the hills
A paean2 of eternal spring.
Voices the new awakening.
The Dawn’s awake!
Whispers of pent-up harmonies,
With the mingled fragrance of the trees;
Faint snatches of half-forgotten song--
Fathers! Torn and numb,--
The boon of light we craved, awaited long,
Has come, has come!
1Pitifully sad and abandoned or lonely
2A song of praise or triumph
Directions: Identify the type of figurative language that best fits the bolded words or phrases. Then explain how each one helps develop imagery within the poem. Remember that your responses should be at least 3-5 sentences in length.
The Dawn’s awake!
It is personification,
Eternal spring

The Black Land
By Joseph Warren Beach
I will pough the land,
Turning up the black soil.
I will ride upon this heaving surface
As a boat rides upon the water.
Even as a boat
Cleaving the water with an eager keel,
I have run a furrow1
Straight across the ridges.
I will sow down this field,
Scattering gems.
With both hands will I scatter
Quivering emeralds out of a bottomless pouch.
As I tread the loam2
My feet sink deep.
The black earth embraces my ankles
And clings to my bent knees.
I sing as I go
Scattering emeralds.
The wind sings upon my lips,
And pearls stream off my neck and forehead.
I am bathed in a sweat of pearls.
Eyes straight forward
Rest on a brightening ultimate slope.
1A long narrow trench made in the ground by a plow.
2Soil with equal amounts of sand, silt, and clay.
Directions: Identify the type of figurative language that best fits the bolded words or phrases. Then explain how each one helps develop imagery within the poem. Remember that your responses should be at least 5-7 sentences in length.
I will ride upon this heaving surface / As a boat rides upon the water.
The black earth embraces my ankles / And clings to my bent knees.
And pearls stream off my neck and forehead. I am bathed in a sweat of pearls.

According to the passage, the main difference between men's and women's communication in the past was how much
each gender communicated.
Please select the best answer from the choices provided
true
false
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
The communication difference between men and women does not necessarily involve the difference in how much each gender communicated. Rather, it has to do more with what each gender expects out of that conversation or how each gender approached the conversation.
In general, men tend to have conversations that are direct, informative, and provide solutions to the problems while women tend to communicate more on the emotional level. They are not specifically looking for a solution but just want someone to lend an ear to listen to their problems.
Thus, it is false to say that the main difference between the communication of men and women has to do with how much each gender communicated.

false

What do we gain from watching media that do not present a universal truth?
A. A better idea of how we should look and feel
B. An expanded knowledge of the world around us
c. Something completely removed from our own lives
D. All of the above
Answer:
(D) I think
Explanation:
Let's look at Answer A; A better idea of how we should look and feel ,when we watch a show that doesn't really pertain to real life,we can get a better idea of how it might change the world if it was like that.
Now lets Look at Answer B; An expanded knowledge of the world around us. When we see something non-realistic we know we can expand our knowledge of how it could be and would be.
Next let's look at Answer C; Something completely removed from our own lives. If something isn't real it was probably a possibility we were thinking of it in our own life's. But if we watched a movie or television show we would have that knowledge removed from our everyday life's
