This assignment will springboard off of the Photo Memoir essay you wrote in Unit 2. Revisit your photo memoir essay and research a historical event that occurred during that time period. In lieu of research, you may use primary sources such as family letters or documents that could be used to provide background for your essay. Rework the photo memoir essay to incorporate the historically significant information into a new essay that argues a point based on the graphic and textual sources you gathered. Cite the sources both implicitly and explicitly within your essay.

Here is the memoir I wrote
“It is what it is”. Though it’s a cliche phrase, this is the photograph that I’ve selected to discuss. It may sound trite, this quote possesses a deeper meaning. When life seems to be out of control, it causes me to feel overwhelmed. It’s an instinct that I immediately want to take matters into my own hands, but in some situations, this is not feasible. This quote represents a deeper meaning that I cannot control things that are beyond me. Furthermore, the topic of discussion will revolve around It Is What It Is.
It’s hard to deny that when situations in our life don't go our way or even how we had planned we don't get upset. In my case, this situation can ruin my day. For example, before a ski race I used to have an expectation for myself, and I would give my best performance on the hill. Sometimes I would come up short, and this is what used to upset me. Although at the time I didn't realize that I did everything in my control to win, so at the end of the day I was racing myself. How does this tie back to It Is What It Is? Well, it seems that increasingly often you hear the phrase, “It is what it is.” I was taking the phrase to mean, “It’s not this and it’s not that; it’s something more subtle that I don’t have a name for, and I’m ok with that.” This actively demonstrates that you're ok with things not going your way, and this can lead to better self-development. By letting things hang in an uncategorized state in their mind they may slowly come to a richer, more nuanced understanding of it, which may lead to a new insight or invention.
Although there are benefits to It Is What It Is, the phrase comes with downfalls. For example, when you do have the power to change something going wrong, and you use the phrase it may come more across as giving up. Another way of saying this would be if somebody needs your help, and you have the power to help them, although you decide not to because you think the outcome is inevitable. Even though there is this downfall it does not ruin the phrase. You just have to use it at the correct time. For instance, the correct time to use this phrase would be when something is out of your control, and you are struggling to cope with it. The phrase wasn't meant to give up, it's less meant to deal with it. This phrase oddly enough has helped me cope with things that are out of my control.
To sum up, everything that has been stated so far It Is What It Is is an expression used to characterize a frustrating or challenging situation that a person believes cannot be changed and must just be accepted. In saying this it demonstrates more regard for I won't let something out of my control affect me.
Help me understand what to do?

Answer:

B. To support a claim about how quickly New York's population increased.

Explanation:

In the given passage about the surge of immigrants in America, the author includes how most of the immigrants came through the Ellis Island Immigration Station. This New York harbor would be the main point of entry for most of the "newcomers".

By including this information about the station, the author is providing support to the claim that New York City is "overwhelmed" by the surge in the immigrants who settled on the place they landed- New York. So, the city became more crowded, although it was already crowded, with "various types of streetcars vying for space on the roads." This added to the increased population of the city.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Answer:

B. To support a claim about how quickly New York's population increased.

The  metaphor compares something concrete to something abstract is A. His fear was a lush clinging vine around his spine.

A metaphor is a saying that, for expository impact, straightforwardly alludes to one thing by referencing another. It might give clearness or recognize stowed away likenesses between two distinct thoughts.

A metaphor is an interesting expression where there is a correlation of one thing with something else without the words 'like or as'. The likeness is inferred. Ex: The camel is the boat of the desert. Her eyes are pearls.

I believe they are talking about seeing the northern lights ><

"how still it is" refers to how life seems to be still around the observer

"the signal light at set of sun" when the sun sets you are only able to see them then

"shines palely green" the color of the northern lights

"a thrush sings" a thrush is a song bird

"other sound there's none" there is no sound around except for that of the bird

"nor traveller to be seen" no one is around aside from the observer, themselves

this is my interpretation of it at least ><

Answer:

A. The pen is mightier than the sword.

Explanation:

A figurative language also known as figures of speech can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by authors, writers or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or write-up.

The main purpose of a figurative language is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of the piece.

Some examples of figurative language used in a literary work are simile, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, metonymy, etc.

Metonymy was derived from the Greek word "metōnymía" which simply means change of name. It can be defined as a figurative language in which an object, thing, concept, or idea is referred to by the name of another that is closely related or associated with it. Thus, it involves substituting an object, thing, concept, or idea with a linked term having a close association.

A common example of metonymy is the pen is mightier than the sword.

Answer:

A. the pen is mightier than the sword, took the test :)

Answer:

A. The speaker is recalling, "with a sigh," how difficult it had been for him to choose the more traveled or the less traveled of the two roads. The forked road is a metaphor for the inherent duality in the natural world.

Explanation:

In this poem, the author talks about life through a metaphor. He describes life as a walk through the forest, in which a person has to decide what path he or she wants to take. The author reflects on the difficulty of making that choice. He also realizes that his life turned out to be a certain way because he chose a certain path. The two paths represent the possible choices people can make in life, and the impact that these have in determining their future.

Answer:

D). Overly charged language.

Explanation:

In an argumentative essay, the author adopts a formal style and language tone in order to establish his/her sincere depiction of the topic. It is clearly reflected through the precise use of vocabulary to communicate his/her idea that allows the readers to form an uninfluenced opinion or conclusion about the topic.

When an author wishes to maintain a formal style, he/she must replace the 'overly charged language' with a 'clear and specific language.' The charged language reflects the author's personal opinion or emotions associated with the topic which degrades the author's respect and unbiasedness as it tries to persuade them. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Answer: overly charged language

Yes, similes can begin with the word I.

Explanation:

A figurative language also known as figures of speech can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by authors, writers or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or write-up.

The main purpose of a figurative language is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of the piece.

Some examples of figurative language used in a literary work are oxymoron, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, simile, etc.

Simile has to do with comparison of two things by using the word, as or like.

Consider the following examples;

1. I am as hungry as a bear.

2. I am as tall as an iroko tree.

3. I like to sing like a hummingbird.

4. I am as anxious as a bridegroom.

Answer:

no

Explanation:

due to the fact they are to report the truth and only the truth. Having a strong opinion will alter the path of the message that is being spread

No I don't think it is ok for news stories to have a slant or bias because in my opinion bias isn't necessarily a bad thing, because everyone is biased. It is part of our human nature to have perspectives, preferences, prejudices, and our own beliefs. Also or our own opinions. We are all biased toward information or people or things that show us that they are good or great or right or true or trustworthy. We are biased toward the people or information that supports us, makes us look good, And agrees with or confirms our existing judgements and virtues. And we are biased toward the more moral choices of actions at least, That which seems moral to us. But hidden media bias misleads, manipulates and divides us all. Also even though bias may be beneficial in helping form an informed public as it enables facts and information to be seen through different lenses, And opinions to be openly expressed and compared. So that no so called "bad or wrong" ideas, Are identified and dismissed or ridiculed. But this is not the media's primary duty or job their primary duty or job is to present us with important facts and information when they occur not include or involve or put facts and information that aren't true or fake or made up or not real. Because this information the media gives us affects the way we think and the actions we make or take in response to it. Also the news media plays an essential role in society, Because media coverage has major impact on the public when it says or tells them the whole event and provide reliable facts and information about numerous issues such as environment, technology and risk. Additionally the media is considered as a important source of information and opinion for readers through newspapers, magazines, television, radio and the internet. Various studies have exposed that the public increases their knowledge base about science from the mass media. And the media can also place pressure on the government to act by signaling a need for intervention or showing that citizens want to see a change about or for something. Also news media networks already affect the public's interest in politics by presenting the people with what they want them to see. Even if there are many issues going on, The media will focus on the one they consider to be the most important. And other actually really important issues are often overlooked. For these reasons, the quality of the media's coverage matters so they shouldn't have a slant or bias.
