Answer: High school students are a lot like chameleons. They love to blend into their surroundings. Walk down the halls of a high school and you will see exactly that: students trying to fit in. Similar to chameleons, high school students do it for the same reason—survival. Being singled out is a dangerous thing. In a place where reputation defines you, having anything jeopardize that reputation can prove dreadful. In my freshman year, I was in a group of friends who loved to talk about shoes. Our conversations consisted of shoes, Call of Duty, shoes, girls, shoes, shoes, and school. The more they talked about it, the more I saw sneaker trends everywhere I went. It wasn’t long until I figured out that all the “popular” kids had the most expensive sneakers, more specifically Jordans. Looking down at my plain, worn-out shoes, I knew I was no match. How could I expect to survive high school if I had nothing to show on my feet?
That night, I scrolled through page after page of Jordans. Different designs, different colors, but all well over $100. Which ones were cool? What designs were best? Didn’t that one senior wear these? He got a lot of attention at school. Maybe I should get the same. Nah, probably not. Maybe these? An hour into my search, I finally saw the pair I wanted—the Royal Blue 10s. This pair not only had my favorite color schemes (blue, white and silver) but they were, more importantly, “cool” enough for me to be recognized and accepted. In a jungle of trendsetters I was the chameleon trying to blend in.
I woke up at 7 a.m. on a chilly March Saturday morning. It was the day the Royal Blue 10s were being released.
I waited patiently outside the Champs store for two hours. All the guys around me had $100+ shoes. They discussed the newest releases and the sneaker trades as I stood there awkwardly in my $60 Nikes. I felt out of place, and even if I could fit in, I slowly realized I didn’t want to. My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a door opening. All heads turned toward the employee coming out of the store. Within 30 seconds, those outside in the cold jam-packed into the small store, dollar bills waving in the air. Stealthily sneaking toward the front, I got the shoes, paid, and quickly left with a vibrant smile on my face. Whatever doubt I had before had gone.
That Monday, I wore the shoes for the first time. As I slipped them on, I could feel the soft sole press against the bottom of my foot. The new shoe smell flew up my nose. I could just imagine the look of awe on everyone’s face, the compliments I would get, and most of all, the recognition. With a delicate hand, I wiped off a minor smudge on the side of the right one. A smile hit my face as I laced them up. Perfect.
There was a hop to my step that day and my head was held just a little bit higher. Looking around, I met everyone in the eye expecting to catch one of them staring at my shoes. First period passed. Nothing. Second period passed. Same thing. No compliments or anything. By lunch, I embraced my disappointment. I had imagined that I would be transformed into a new light, but as soon as I stepped through the school door I was still the same old freshman I was the week before. How could that be? I had the Jordans and everything. Were they really worth $160 and two hours of my time? Not once did I ask myself whether I truly wanted the pair. The shoes didn’t represent who I was, but I had imagined the shoes would help create a better me. What I failed to realize, however, is that when chameleons try to avoid being singled out, they don’t fit into their surroundings. They disappear.

Read these stanzas from "The Inchcape Rock."
I NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE!!!
No stir in the air, no stir in the sea,
The ship was as still as she could be;
Her sails from heaven received no motion;
Her keel was steady in the ocean.
Without either sign or sound of their shock
The waves flowed over the Inchcape Rock;
So little they rose, so little they fell,
They did not move the Inchcape Bell.

How does the alliteration in line 6 affect the poem's tone? It creates an elusive tone that emphasizes how foreign the moon is. It creates a harsh tone that emphasizes the brightness of the moon. It creates a soft and tranquil tone that emphasizes the moon's quietness. It creates a sinister tone that emphasizes the eeriness of the moon.
Answer:
The alliteration affects the poem's tone because:
It creates a soft and tranquil tone that emphasizes the moon's quietness.
Explanation:
This is the poem we are analyzing:
All up and down the dunes,
the tall green grasses dance,
as the wind plays lively tunes
across the sandy expanse.
But the moon above is a statue,
silent and somber and still,
its reflection on the sea is a tattoo,
that we watch from upon the hill.
To answer this question, we must pay attention to both to the alliteration itself and the general message of the poem, otherwise we might be tempted to choose the option that says the moon is eerie and sinister.
Notice that, in line 6, the alliteration consists of the repetition of the phoneme /s/. This phoneme is often used to convey softness and quietness, or even a sense of soothing.
Besides that, the two stanzas of the poem contrast with each other. The first one describes a lively scene, filled with movement. The second one, on the other hand, emphasizes how quiet, how still the moon is. While the grasses dance and the wind sings, the moon remains silent.
For that reason, the best option is: It creates a soft and tranquil tone that emphasizes the moon's quietness.
Answer:
It creates a soft and tranquil tone that emphasizes the moon's quietness.

Explanation:
"it comes back for seconds"
HURRY ASAP) What does the descriptive language in this passage
help readers to visualize?
Read the excerpt from The Call of the Wild.
A poor substitute for food was this hide, just as it had
been stripped from the starved horses of the cattlemen
six months back. In its frozen state it was more like
strips of galvanized iron, and when a dog wrestled it
into his stomach it thawed into thin and innutritious
leathery strings and into a mass of short hair, irritating
and indigestible.
O how dry and tough the meat is
O how freezing the weather is
O how thin and sick the horses are
O how hungry the cattlemen are
Answer:
O How dry and tough the meat is .
Explanation:
Descriptive language is the use of certain words that gives a clear and more descriptive image of what is being discussed or talked about. It provides in-depth detail about how something looks.
In the given passage from Jack London's "The Call of the Wild", the descriptive language shows how dry and tough the meat is. This is evident from the phrases like "In its frozen state it was more like strips of galvanized iron" and how hard it must have been, considering the narrator's comment that "when a dog wrestled it into his stomach it thawed into thin and innutritious leathery strings and into a mass of short hair, irritating and indigestible."
Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

And then he came. All of a sudden his arm was around my waist so warm and tight and he said very casually, ¨May I skate with you?¨ and then he took my hand. That´s all there was to it. Just that and then we were skating. It wasn´t that I have never skated with a boy before. Don´t be silly. I told you before, I get around. But this was different. He was a big shot up at school and he went to all the big dances and he was the best dancer in town except for Harold Wright who didn´t count because he´d been to college in New York for two years! Don´t you see? This was different.
At first I can´t remember what we talked about. I can´t even remember if we talked at all. We just skated and laughed every time we came to a rough spot and pretty soon we were laughing all the time at nothing at all. It was all so lovely
