Create ONE original post that: Shares the predictions and revisions you made while reading the blog, "Veterans Appreciate Our Gratitude" . Cites specific information from the text that caused you to revise predictions as you read. Explains how making predictions affected your focus while reading.

Answer and Explanation:

The text shows how war veterans deserve the gratitude and consideration of their countrymen for all they have done in defense of the country, however, gratitude is not enough for the veterans to live well, since they do not receive government assistance when they return home and end up suffering from unemployment and low quality of life.

The text predictions changed my experience and focus on reading. This is because, I predicted that the text talked about how we have to respect veterans and although the text reinforces this idea, it extends it, showing that respect and gratitude go beyond feeling, but must be shown with actions too.

These predictions come from the title of the text, showing us how important it is to be grateful for those who defend us.

Retail outlets could enact a policy that requires customers to bring their own reusable bags or pay to purchase one at checkout. That way bags get reused over and over.

The author wants to persuade readers to change habits so she chooses specific examples of how America could become greener. C. The author wants to inform readers, so she writes with upbeat language to make the topic of recycling sound stimulating. D. The author wants to describe the situation to readers, so she uses opinionated language to express the idea that America is a wasteful nation.

Which two words enhance the setting in this poem? War by Ellen Glasgow Ripples of ribbons borne on high, Bloodstains upon a brazen sky; From cannon belching on the plain, Fire that by fire is fought again. A flash where steel by steel is met; A fume of smoke and blood and sweat. Sharp from the smeared and trodden gorse The death-cry of a wounded horse. Dust of a plain ground into red By armies of majestic dead. Gaunt shadows on the changeless sky, A flock of vultures swarming nigh. Mid ashes where a hearth has stood, Children that cry aloud for food. Where green the peaceful highways run, A woman ravished in the sun. And far across the reeking sod A Nation sounding thanks to God.

Which idea is unsupported by the author’s main arguments about Benjamin Franklin's accomplishments?


Benjamin Franklin's Fascination with Electricity

adapted from the National Park Service


Benjamin Franklin was fascinated by electricity and gave a lot of his time after he retired to study its properties. Some of his research resulted in "tricks" that he used to amuse others. For example, he made a charged metal spider that moved like the real thing. He discovered new ways to generate, store, and turn on electricity. His design of lightning rods helped prevent untold numbers of structural fires throughout the world.

His famous kite experiment occurred in June 1752. Franklin asked his son William to fly a kite to which he had attached a wire on top and a key at the end of a string. Ultimately, the kite gathered an electric charge from a storm cloud. Franklin was then able to collect some of the charge and compare it to the electricity he had created in other experiments. He did not mention the experiment until October, four months after it took place, at which point Franklin did not clarify that he had conducted the experiment himself—an issue that has caused some people to doubt Franklin's story.
