Read the excerpt from "I'm Not Thirteen Yet" by Amy Bernstein.

After the game, we had an ice cream party in the dining hall to celebrate our victory. I sprinkled my last spoonful of chocolate sprinkles and walked toward a table.

"Hey Jamie," a voice called, "come sit here."

I swore it sounded like Margaret. It turned out it was Margaret, and she wanted me to sit next to her.

"Ok . . . thanks," I said and took a seat, probably with a confused look on my face. "I love the way you arrange your toppings, in perfect order from ice cream to fudge and chocolate sprinkles. You're a great sundae builder," said Margaret. "Look at mine. I can't even keep it together."

This excerpt describes the writer’s significant experience of
overcoming her extreme shyness.
becoming friends with Margaret.
learning to eat without making a mess.
learning to behave like a teenager.

“What would you consider your greatest weakness in a job interview ”

Answers

Answer:

Saying something that is more a positive aspect rather than a negative one is very overused and will be seen as avoiding the question nowadays, employers look for people who will admit to their weakness and their incapabilities, they'd rather hire someone who's self aware and tells so than someone who says something that'd make it look like you don't really have a weakness. Don't make it too terrible of a weakness though, say something like: I can be forgetful sometimes.

6. How do flies walk on the ceiling?

7. How are rainbows made?

8. Are sharks mammals?

9. Why can I see the moon during the day?

10. Why do birds fly south for the winter?

Answers

Answer:

1. Why is the sky blue? Answer: Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere. Blue is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time. Closer to the horizon, the sky fades to a lighter blue or white.

2. How much does the earth weigh? Answer: 5.972 × 10^24 kg

3. How far away is the sun? Answer: 94.001 million mi.

4. What is a black hole? Answer: A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, no particles or even electromagnetic radiation such as light can escape from it. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole.

5. How do airplanes fly? Answer: A plane's engines are designed to move it forward at high speed. That makes air flow rapidly over the wings, which throw the air down toward the ground, generating an upward force called lift that overcomes the plane's weight and holds it in the sky. The wings force the air downward and that pushes the plane upward

6. How do flies walk on the ceiling? Answer: On the underside of each foot are two tiny claws on which the fly walks in a tiptoe manner. Under the claws are pads which give off a sticky liquid, It is these sticky pads which cling to the surface on which the fly is walking.

7. How are rainbows made? Answer: A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured circular arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun.

8. Are sharks mammals? Answer: No they are not mammals, although sharks give birth to their young ones like mammals, they are species of fish and not mammal. They are however classified as mammals because they feed their young ones on milk from their mammary glands which the sharks do not. So the answer is no they are not mammals.

9. Why can I see the moon during the day? Answer: We can see the moon during the day for the same reason we see the moon at night. The surface of the moon is reflecting the sun's light into our eyes. ... When we see the moon during the day it's because the moon is in the right spot in the sky and it's reflecting enough light to be as bright, or brighter, than the sky

10. Why  do birds fly south for the winter? Answer: Birds that nest in the Northern Hemisphere tend to migrate northward in the spring to take advantage of burgeoning insect populations, budding plants and an abundance of nesting locations. As winter approaches and the availability of insects and other food drops, the birds move south again

Provide an excerpt from a text and evaluate and explain how the Authors word choice and use syntax contribute to the texts overall meaning and tone

Answers

Answer:

He broke his fast in the hall of the old maiden, while he listened to the knights and the sellswords talk. He knew he was in dangerous fields, but he had an oath and no knight of the kings' guard would turn his shield against it. Much less, the most acknowledged king's guard on history.

Explanation:

In this paragraph we can see the syntax uses ancient English expressions to describe the events. "He broke his fast" is an old English expression to say someone had breakfast. Also, the tone is dark and filled with honorable conceptions that let the reader adopt a knightly perspective to understand the causes and the effects of someone's behavior.

Once these disparate parts were held together by a common enemy, by the fault lines of world wars and the electrified fence of communism. With the end of the cold war there was the creeping concern that without a focus for hatred and distrust, a sense of national identity would evaporate, that the left side of the hyphen—African-American, Mexican-American, Irish-American—would overwhelm the right. And slow-growing domestic traumas like economic unrest and increasing crime seemed more likely to emphasize division than community.

Who was Peter?

St. Peter the Apostle, also known as Simeon or Simon, was a follower of Jesus Christ who passed away in Rome, Italy, in the year 64 CE.

He was acknowledged by the early Christian church as the apostle who oversaw the other 12 disciples and by the Roman Catholic Church as the first in a line of popes that has continued without interruption.

When Jesus first started his ministry, he called a Jewish fisherman named Peter to be one of his disciples. Jesus gave him the name Cephas, which is derived from the Aramaic name Kepa, which means "Rock"; Peter is derived from Petros, the Greek term for Kepa.

Therefore, He no longer respects his parents reveal about Peter in paragraph 148.
