Thou therefore take my brand Excalibur,
Which was my pride: for thou rememberest how
In those old days, one summer noon, an arm
Rose up from out the bosom of the lake,
Clothed in white samite, mystic, wonderful,
Holding the sword—­and how I row’d across
And took it, and have worn it, like a king:
And, wheresoever I am sung or told
In aftertime, this also shall be known
–"Morte d’Arthur,”
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Need help on this question????

Read the excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen.

My next challenge was that I wanted to make things out of metal, so I became interested in how to use a lathe, a milling machine, and so on. I went to buy this new equipment I thought I'd need and met a man who had a machine shop of his own who was about to retire and move to Florida. He allowed me to visit him after school and on weekends to observe how he used all his tools. I was hooked. When he retired I bought not only all his big equipment but all his little toolboxes as well--they were treasures!

I decided to put his entire machine shop in our basement, but there were two problems... One, his shop wouldn't fit in our basement, and two, there was no way the lathe, weighing fifteen hundred pounds, and the milling machine, weighing two thousand pounds, could be carried into the basement. I solved this problem by hiring a contractor to dig a large hole, break open a wall of the basement, enclose the addition with concrete, and add a roof that could be used for building an outside deck to the house. I also enlarged my mother's kitchen and pantry. I now had the entire machine shop in our basement. At the time I was making enough money from my electronic devices to pay for all of this.

Which detail best supports Kamen’s opinion that he was hooked on making things out of metal?

He allowed me to visit him after school and on weekends to observe how he used all his tools.
When he retired I bought not only all his big equipment but all his little toolboxes as well—they were treasures!
One, his shop wouldn't fit in our basement, and two, there was no way the lathe, weighing fifteen hundred pounds, and the milling machine . . . could be carried into the basement.

59:21 Read the excerpt from The Green Gables Letters by L. M. Montgomery. The woods are getting ready to sleep—they are not yet asleep but they are disrobing and are having all sorts of little bed-time conferences and whisperings and good-nights. What meaning does the use of personification convey? It conveys the idea that the trees in the woods are tired and ready for bed. It conveys the idea of trees losing their leaves and making noises in the wind. It conveys the idea that the trees in the woods are talking to the author before they go to sleep. It conveys the idea that the trees in the woods are not able to sleep, so they keep talking to one another.

Please read the following and write a response that is 2-3 paragraphs in length. Each paragraph should be 5-7 sentences in length.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.

This age-old adage has been passed down through the generations. Typically, it’s an offhand response from a parent to a child when someone has said something that hurt the child’s feelings. After all, as long as there’s no physical damage, then everything must be fine, right? Hurtful words are often treated as inconsequential. People assume they can be easily brushed aside and smoothed over with a flimsy apology on the part of the perpetrator.

But the truth is, words can hurt — in more ways than one — and the effects often far outweigh any scrape or bruise.

In today’s world, our stories are no longer limited to simple word-of-mouth tales or even hard-bound books. Words are digital and far-reaching, passed around on websites, on social media, and in text messages. More often than not, the words we publish online are not really for the benefit of others, but for ourselves. Writer Gracy Olmstead says, “in the world of internet and social media, another narrative has begun to reign supreme: namely, the self-narration.”

So, what happens when the words we use become more about self-gratification than genuinely helping or communicating with others? The result can be anything from shameless selfies to cyberbullying, and the effects are tangible.

The Texas Education Code defines bullying as an act that “exploits an imbalance of power and involves written or verbal expression.” This has recently expanded to include digital forms of communication. These include “sending vicious text messages, emails or instant messages,” and “spreading rumors or gossip by posting it to social networking sites.” The sneaky thing about cyberbullying is that because it’s not physical, we underestimate its negative effects. With the anonymity and distance the internet provides, cyberbullies don’t have to face the consequences of their actions, and often feel free to say whatever they want about others.

History has proven that words can be just as potent weapons as — if not more so than — sticks and stones. During World War II, “the Nazi regime employed propaganda to impress upon German civilians and soldiers that the Jews were not only subhuman but also dangerous enemies.” The words of the German government became the defining narrative of an entire group of people. While this false propaganda seems a far cry from the problems facing teenagers today, they all demonstrate the impact of words.

Novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie put it simply when she said that the stories we tell are often about power. “Power is the ability not just to tell the story of another person, but to make it the definitive story of that person,” Adichie said. Perhaps the answer is not to fight to be heard, but rather to learn to listen. When we are empowered to tell our own stories or share our own points of view, our words can have positive, transformative effects. They can help people understand other experiences and see the world differently.

Now that you’ve read about the effects words can have, what do you think? Has anyone ever said something about you that was hurtful or untrue? What did you do about it? How have you used words to solve a problem, bring people together, or share your own story? Why do words matter?

Hi can someone please revise this for me thanks feel free to add something or take something away if you think it sounds stupid.

Having a high school diploma is a goal to my future. With it I would be able to get a degree, and have the option to begin my career. My principle objective in the wake of finishing high school is to find a new line of work that I appreciate. I will likewise require an occupation that will accommodate my family. Without it, I would simply have the option to find a new line of work that would scarcely pay for the gas to land to that position. It might take me a few months longer than most to get it, yet I will have a feeling of pride from realizing that I have finished it. I will have the option to show my children that it doesn't make a difference when you accomplish your objective, yet that you have the determination to finish it.

In this excerpt from Lord Byron's "She Walks in Beauty," which two sets of lines show that Byron's subject is rich in kindness and grace?
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,

Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

rewrite this in your own words please: Maturity Stage – During the maturity stage, the product is established and the aim for the manufacturer is now to maintain the market share they have built up. This is probably the most competitive time for most products and businesses need to invest wisely in any marketing they undertake. They also need to consider any product modifications or improvements to the production process which might give them a competitive advantage. I think this would be the best time for the company to purchase an emerging technology.
