SHARKS' TEETH
Langston Carter
The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.
We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.

Answer:
Kids can help protect this resource. You make a huge difference simply by starting at home. To get an
idea of how much water we could save if we all made a small effort, think about this. What if every
person across the nation flushed their toilets one time less every day? Together they could save enough
water to fill a lake as large as a mile wide and long and four feet in depth! Now you know how important
it is to help save water. Try some of the ideas below. Start doing your part to change our world!
Some Ways Kids Can Help to Save Water:
• When you wash your hands, don’t leave the water running. Wet your hands and turn the water off.
Use soap and lather your hands well. Then turn the water on to rinse. Turn off the water and make sure
it is off completely. Then dry your hands.
• Do the same when you brush your teeth. Turn the faucet on to get your toothbrush and toothpaste
wet. Turn it on again to rinse your mouth and toothbrush. Don’t leave the water running while you’re
brushing.
• Baths use a lot of water (about 37 gallons on average). Take short showers, and use only about 20
gallons of water, instead.
• Do you have plants in your house? When vegetables or other fresh produce are washed, collect that
water and use it to water the plants.
• Do you like a drink of cold water now and then? Keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator. That way
you don’t have to run the water to get it cold.
• Put a barrel outdoors to catch rain water. Then use that water for things like watering plants or
flushing toilets. You can save hundreds of gallons of water a year!
• In the summertime, it’s fun to play under the lawn sprinkler. When you do, make sure it’s only when
the lawn is being watered

Which THREE sets of lines in this excerpt from act II, scene IV, of Twelfth Night suggest that a woman is inconstant in love?
DUKE: [There is no woman's sides
Can bide the beating of so strong a passion
As love doth give my heart; no woman's heart]
So big, to hold so much; [they lack retention.
Alas, their love may be call'd appetite,
No motion of the liver], [but the palate,
That suffer surfeit, cloyment and revolt];
[But mine is all as hungry as the sea,
And can digest as much: make no compare
Between that love a woman can bear me]
And that I owe Olivia.
VIOLA: Ay, but I know—
DUKE: What dost thou know?
VIOLA: [Too well what love women to men may owe:
In faith, they are as true of heart as we.
My father had a daughter loved a man,]
As it might be, perhaps, were I a woman,
I should your lordship.
Answer:
1. Alas, their love may be call'd appetite,
No motion of the liver], [but the palate,
That suffer surfeit, cloyment and revolt]
2. My father had a daughter loved a man,]
As it might be, perhaps, were I a woman,
I should your lordship.
3. Twelfth Night suggest that a woman is inconstant in love?
Explanation:
<3
The three sets of lines that suggest that a woman is inconstant in love are "Alas, their love may be called'd appetite, no motion of the liver," "That suffer surplus, cloying, and revolt," and "between that love a woman can bear me."
What are three sets of lines?The first set of lines ("Alas, their love may be called appetite, No motion of the liver") suggests that women's love is akin to an appetite, something that comes and goes and lacks true depth. The second set of lines ("That suffer surplus, cloying, and revolt") suggests that women's love is prone to excess and indulgence. The word "surfeit" implies an overindulgence or excess, while "cloyment" suggests a sense of being overwhelmed or satiated. The third set of lines ("Between that love a woman can bear me") emphasizes the difference between the Duke's love and the love a woman can offer.
Hence, three sets of lines that suggest that a woman is inconstant in love are "Alas, their love may be called'd appetite, no motion of the liver," "That suffer surplus, cloying, and revolt," and "between that love a woman can bear me."

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
by William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a Cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and Hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden Daffodils;
Beside the Lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A Poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude,
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the Daffodils.
QUESTION:
What effect does the poetic form of “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” have on Wordsworth’s message? Describe the poetic form Wordsworth uses in the poem and explain how it affects the meaning. Your response should be one to two paragraphs.

What attracts us to be mysterious?
Thanks for helping⬇️
Answer:
an air of mystery attracts most of us because humans are naturally curious. We strive to discover things that are unknown to us.
Answer:
i once tried to be so mysterious when i was 13
Explanation:
i wanted to be mysterious so badly because i wanted people to be interested in me. so i put on a cringey, secretive personality in hopes for people wanting to get to know me.
p.s. it didn't work
so i had a paper due thursday and i havent even started it uhm- any tips on what to do other than rush to try to get the paper in?
Answer:
Try researching more on the topic of your paper, and cite sources because a lot of teachers check for plagarism so citing would get you out of that category. Furthermore, if you do decide that you cited to much rephrase the words to make it sound different yet about the same topic.
Those are some helpful tips, hope they helped
