Answer and Explanation:
"Condensed Milk" is a short story by Russian author Varlam Shalamov, who spent fifteen years of his life in a Gulag, a Russian forced-labor camp. The story is based on his experience at the camp.
The main character and narrator is a political prisoner, an "enemy of the people". Even a thief is above him at the camp. He is starving, ill, and mentally drained. He has no strength in himself to do anything other than survive for the rest of the day:
"Inside there was only an empty scorched sensation, and we were indifferent to everything, making plans no further than the next day."
However, we notice a change in the narrator's apathy once he is approached by Shestakov. Although Shestakov is also a prisoner, he has an office job, an easier life than the others. Shestakov invites the narrator to escape from the Gulag with him, but the narrator sees right through this amicable façade. Certainly, Shestakov is working with the government. He is simply deceiving other prisoners to get them killed or sentenced to more years.
That is enough for the narrator to find a strange type of strength inside himself. There is not much he can do, though. He cannot kill Shestakov, he cannot warn the others. Those actions would lead to his own death. His revenge comes in the form of a request. He asks for condensed milk - the sweetest, most delicious food he could think of. Shestakov brings him two cans, believing he will agree to escape after drinking them. To his surprise, the narrator reveals he does not wish to go. As he had predicted, the others are trapped once they try to run away, but nothing happens to Shestakov. Notice how the narrator found in himself a bit of energy, an ember of pride, of strength:
"t was, of course, a weak, worthless act of vengeance just like all my feelings. "
It was an act of vengeance nonetheless...

PLEASE HELP!!
Answer and Explanation:
Let's focus on each part at a time.
Phrase or Clause? the best choice for the words in BOLD.
1.) GRABBING A SANDWHICH, Rene hurried off to join his friends.
2.) Ms. Smith’s only comment ON MY PAPER was that my handwriting was difficult to read.
--> A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate. A clause MUST contain a verb. A phrase is a group of words that stand together and express a concept. A phrase is often a part of a sentence or a clause. With that in mind, we can answer:
1.) GRABBING A SANDWHICH, Rene hurried off to join his friends. --> clause
2.) Ms. Smith’s only comment ON MY PAPER was that my handwriting was difficult to read. --> phrase
Independent Clause, Dependent Clause, or Phrase?
3.) Even though John likes ham, HE HATES MARMALADE
4.) EVEN THOUGH JOHN LIKES HAM, he hates marmalade
5.) THE WAX IS MELTING because it is too hot
6.) The wax is melting BECAUSE IT IS TOO HOT
7.) I WANTED TO GO TO THE ZOO, so we packed up and left
8.)I wanted to go to the zoo, SO WE PACKED UP AND LEFT
--> An independent clause is able to express a full idea on its own. On the other hand, a dependent clause needs the main clause to make sense. Dependent clauses begin with subordinate conjunctions. Check the definition for phrase above.
3.) Even though John likes ham, HE HATES MARMALADE --> independent clause
4.) EVEN THOUGH JOHN LIKES HAM, he hates marmalade --> dependent clause
5.) THE WAX IS MELTING because it is too hot --> independent clause
6.) The wax is melting BECAUSE IT IS TOO HOT --> dependent clause
7.) I WANTED TO GO TO THE ZOO, so we packed up and left --> independent clause
8.)I wanted to go to the zoo, SO WE PACKED UP AND LEFT --> independent clause ("so" is a coordinating conjunction)
Coordinating Conjunction or Subordinating Conjunction?
9.) EVEN THOUGH John likes jam, he hates marmalade
10.) The wax is melting BECAUSE it is too hot
11.) I wanted to go to the zoo, SO we packed up and left
12.) Tomorrow is his birthday, BUT i forgot to get a gift
--> There is an easy acronym to help memorize the coordinating conjunctions: FANBOYS (for, and, not, but, or, yet, so). By elimination, we can easily recognize the ones that are subordinating conjunctions:
9.) EVEN THOUGH John likes jam, he hates marmalade --> subordinating
10.) The wax is melting BECAUSE it is too hot --> subordinating
11.) I wanted to go to the zoo, SO we packed up and left --> coordinating
12.) Tomorrow is his birthday, BUT i forgot to get a gift --> coordinating
What Conjunction is in the sentence below?
WHEN the moon shore, HE lurked in
13.) WHEN or HE?
--> "He" is a subject pronoun, not a conjunction. Therefore, the only possibility for a correct answer is the other option, "when".
Which answer choice accurately describes the use of passive voice?
A. A verb in the passive voice is done for its subject.
B. A verb in the passive voice is done to its subject.
C. A verb in the passive voice is done without a subject.
D. A verb in the passive voice is done by its subject..
Verb in the passive voice is done for its subject is accurately describing the use of passive voice. Hence, option A is correct.
What is passive voice?A verb is said to be in the passive voice when it affects the sentence's subject. For instance, in the sentence "The ball was thrown by the pitcher," the verb was thrown is in the passive form, and the ball, the subject, acquires the action of the verb.
Whether a statement is in the passive voice can be determined by the verbs used. The formula for passive verbs is "be" verb form + past participle. The passive voice is frequently indicated in phrases with "by" before the person who really performed the deed, though this isn't always the case.
When the subject gets the action that the verb is conveying, the passive voice is used.
Thus, option A is correct.

Explain in your own words what you think dopamine?
Answer with Explanation:
For me, "dopamine" is like a messenger of pleasure because it only sends messages to the body when it knows that happiness is on its way. It is being released when we can satisfy certain things we yearn in life, such as eating our favorite food or shopping for clothes (if you love shopping). This means that once it is released in the body, our mood improves thus it can somehow be addicting. For example, people tend to eat more chocolate cake in several servings because they know how pleasurable it is to eat it or people cannot control online shopping because it makes them truly happy.

Explain how the choice of a narrator affects the plot of a text using the above excerpt as an example.
Answer:
it doesn't because if either way the if it is the same story then the plot will always stay tthe same
Explanation:
Answer:
The choice of narrator, especially a first-person narrator, affects the plot because a first-person narrator's knowledge is limited to what that person is present to see and hear. We can't know what anyone else is thinking and much action is left out because the narrator may not have seen or heard it. That information must be conveyed through dialogue with other characters. In this excerpt, using a different point of view or choosing a different first-person narrator would change the information we receive. For example, Sam or Patrick would probably not feel like being in their own house was like being "someplace better," and the impression we are given of the parents would also be affected.

Words can do a better job of showing beauty than pictures.
Answer:
I disagree: the words you read are interpretations from the writer. The writer is explaining the beauty THEY see through their OWN vocab. When you look at a picture your brain tells you what is beautiful to you and you interpret the beauty in a picture in your own way.
Explanation:
Answer:
Agree
Explanation:
Words can sometimes be more beautiful than pictures because they can represent certain emotions and ideas presented by the writer or speaker. Words usually have many meanings yet all of these meanings come together to form a structure for an idea. Wheras pictures have a perspective type of approach, everyone can see something different within a picture unless it is generalized with a certain purpose.

This speech was said by Napoleon Bonaparte on April 20, 1814, after he failed to invade Russia.
Explanation:
Napoleon, in fact, had a very large and powerful reign, being feared throughout Europe. Amid so many conquests, a defeat ended his reign, the defeat in invading Russia in 1814.
There are many reasons that Napoleon wished to invade Russia, among which we can mention Russia's non-accession to participate in the continental blockade against England, Russia's alliance against Sweden and even the refusal of the marriage proposals he made for two Russian princess.
Indeed, the attempted invasion of Russia was the bloodiest battle that Napoleon and his army faced, but that battle massacred the French army withdrew the faith of the population in Napoleon and ended his reign.

Which element of the romantic movement is present in this excerpt from the "The Solitary Reaper" by William Wordsworth? Will no one tell me what she sings?-- Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow For old, unhappy, far-off things, And battles long ago: Or is it some more humble lay, Familiar matter of to-day? Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain, That has been, and may be again? Whate'er the theme, the Maiden sang As if her song could have no ending; I saw her singing at her work, And o'er the sickle bending;-- I listened, motionless and still; And, as I mounted up the hill, The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more.

Answer:
This question is incomplete, but I will still give you an explanation of the themes Young Goodman Brown is about.
Explanation:
The story Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne has as their main themes faith, religion, sins and good versus evil.
Brown's faith is easily corrupted by the Devil in the woods. In turn, he feels guilty when he knows what he is going to do and says goodbye to his beloved wife, whom he considers a very good and religious woman.
There is also a criticism of the Puritan religion and you can see how all the Puritans in the story "hid something" since they were all present that night in the forest. All of them had been tempted by evil.
This is where good versus evil comes into play, as not even the purest people in the city could be considered good.

New Technology Leads to Bigger Cities
In the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, a fast development of society following the introduction of machines. The United States was slower than Great Britain to fully embrace the changes. Yet key technological developments caused a rapid growth in American urban areas.
Better farming methods and tools in the 1800s increased food production. Americans were able to grow enough food for their families as well as to sell. The abundance caused food prices to fall.
The expansion of cotton and the growth of textile factories in northern states helped produce the first wave of American industry. More people turned to work in northern factories as a way to support their families. Thousands of immigrants to the United States also settled in or near port cities, looking for work. Even today, the need for work is a common reason people move to urban areas.
As a result, cities grew in numbers of people and physical space. As more people and businesses moved in, they needed buildings for living and working. They needed ways to move around the city. We call this process urbanization.
In 1820, the United States had only a few cities of 10,000 residents or more. About seven percent of U.S. residents lived in urban areas. The number of cities with more than 10,000 people grew quickly over the next 40 years, especially in the Northeast and Midwest. By 1860, about 20 percent lived in cities. Philadelphia and New York City were the most populated cities in 1860 and would soon reach one million residents.
The urbanization of the United States quickened due to technology improvements. Without innovations in food production, the factories could not have grown so quickly. The trend quickened after 1860 and continued throughout the 21st century as well. By 2007, more Americans lived in or near cities than they did in rural areas.
