I’m different that way. I mean, my second-oldest brother, Soda, who is sixteen-going-on-seventeen, never cracks a book at all, and my oldest brother, Darrel, who we call Darry, works too long and hard to be interested in a story or drawing a picture, so I’m not like them. And nobody in our gang digs movies and books the way I do. For a while there, I thought I was the only person in the world that did.

What is the theme of this excerpt?
A) Being part of a team is meaningful.
B) Growing up means accepting oneself.
C) Nature teaches powerful life lessons.
D) Family traditions are important.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B) Growing up means accepting oneself.

Explanation:

The narrorator is highlighting the differences between her and her brothers, showing how she is different from them. That makes me think that B would be the answer, as she is accepting her differences from her siblings. This is me kind of making an assumption, but if I were doing this quiz that is the answer I would choose.

What is a synonym?

A synonym is a word, morpheme, or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word, morpheme, or phrase in a given language.  

The standard test for synonymy is substitution: one form can be replaced by another in a sentence without changing its meaning. Words are considered synonymous in only one particular sense: for example, long and extended in the context long time or extended time are synonymous, but long cannot be used in the phrase extended family. Synonyms with exactly the same meaning share a seme or denotational sememe, whereas those with inexactly similar meanings share a broader denotational or connotational sememe and thus overlap within a semantic field.

The former are sometimes called cognitive synonyms and the latter, near-synonyms, plesionyms or poecilonyms.

Voluntourism: An Opportunity Too Good to be True

A Speech to the Student Body of Evergreen High

[1] Picture this: It's Spring Break, and you fly off to some country where there's lush rainforests and beautiful, blue coastlines to explore. There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.

[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."

[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.

[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).

[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.

[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.

What are two strategies the speaker uses to develop the point that voluntour opportunities are not legitimate ways to learn about other cultures?

On hot days, Doodle and I went down to Horsehead Landing and I gave him swimming lessons or showed him how to row a boat. Sometimes we descended into the cool greenness of Old Woman Swamp and climbed the rope vines or boxed scientifically beneath the pine where he had learned to walk. Promise hung about us like the leaves, and wherever we looked, ferns unfurled and birds broke into song. The Scarlet Ibis," James Hurst Which phrases emphasize that Old Woman Swamp is a symbol of paradise for the boys? Check all that apply. "went down to Horsehead Landing" "gave him swimming lessons" "descended into the cool greenness" "promise hung about us like the leaves" "birds broke into song"

Answers

Answer:

"descended into the cool greenness"

"birds broke into song"

Explanation:

The sentences presented above show how Horsehead Landing expressed a feeling that the boys were in a paradise. We can see this because the narrator shows that the boys could hear the birds singing and visualize a referential and vivacious green in the place. These two elements convey the feeling of tranquility, peace and happiness that only a paradise can promote.

“descended into the cool greenness”

How can I improve in written communication

Answers

Try using personal experiences and try to word stuff more clear and make it something the reader can relate to

Answer:

If you want to improve your written communication skills, then you should "think" a lot before you start writing. To write clearly and nicely, you have to think clearly. Consequently, before you begin writing, take a step back, and line up and gather your thoughts on whatever it is that you have to write about. Another thing that you should do, as overused this may be, you need to "read and write" a lot, in great volumes. For reading, find works or books that excite you or interest you. If you read a book that you like or find interesting to read, you are most likely to read more books and enjoy the act of reading. This will help you with your writing process. When you read, you will find yourself thinking of all the things you could've done different from the author, had you been the story writer. You will want to write and do things your way. Start writing just one paragraph, it can be about anything really, every day. You'll notice a difference soon after you start.

A and B are both automatically incorrect because they do not fit the first requirements. C is incorrect because it is spelled the same way, which does not fit the second requirement.
