Explanation:
Phrases to be corrected:
-"The story revolves around the psychology of guilt and a murderer who commits a crime and is able to hide it."
The most concrete idea would be:
The story revolves around the psychology of a murderer who commits a crime and is able to hide it.
-"This article will analyze the issue of violence as it is contained in history".
It could be corrected as the following:
"This article will analyze what influenced the narrator to become a violent man and what the consequences were."
A correct punctuation must be made in the following paragraph:
"These animals included dogs, apes, and even donkeys. The theme of violence is also portrayed when the narrator, realizing his mistake, turns on himself and begins to hurt himself with the knife that he always carried with him."
The first stanza is a continuity of the idea from the previous paragraph, therefore it must be in the previous paragraph with a period followed.
In the following paragraph we can make some editorial corrections as well as punctuation:
"The other theme of the story is that of loyalty. Before the narrator began drinking, he was loyal to his wife and pet cat, Pluto. The theme of loyalty also shows up when the narrator gouges his cat's eye out. Even though his wife saw the kind of cruelty he had subjected the cat to, he was still loyal to him."
We can see in the previous paragraph that the subject of loyalty begins to be discussed, therefore it is not necessary for the writer of the essay to say again "the subject of loyalty is also shown ..." it could be said "We can quote a example when the narrator gouges out his cat's eye ".
The last paragraph, as it is a continuity of the previous paragraph where the writer continues talking about loyalty, must continue that idea in the previous paragraph with a period followed.
Therefore, there should be a single paragraph where it is not necessary to repeat the word "the issue of loyalty" but only leave the word "loyalty" because it is already known that that issue has been discussed. Therefore, they could be as follows:
"The other theme of the story is that of loyalty. Before the narrator began drinking, he was loyal to his wife and pet cat, Pluto. An example we can cite is when the narrator gouges out his cat's eye. Even though his wife saw the kind of cruelty he had subjected the cat to, he was still loyal to him, and loyalty is represented by the cat himself. After the narrator gouged out the cat's eye, the cat was still playing with the narrator after the pierced eye sock had healed. Under normal circumstances, the cat would have fled the house and moved to another house away from the brutality."
Answer:
(The essay I used is underneath the last question)
1. Where does the writer stray from the topic? What could be done to fix this problem? Explain what you would cut and cross it out in the text of the essay.
I do not believe MuffinAlien strays away from the gothic topic in her essay. I think she did a great job describing Edgar Allen Poe's writing.
2. What misunderstandings or inaccuracies involving Gothic literature or Poe's use of suspense do you see? How would you suggest eliminating this problem? If necessary, cross out some words within the text of the essay.
I do not think there are any misunderstandings or inaccuracies in gothic writing, Poe's story, or the essay that MuffinAlien wrote. However, I will say I do have a small opinion. When writing a gothic based story, or maybe even any story depending on who you ask, people use more complex words, making sentences longer to make it seem like time is moving slowly in the story. I do not think it's effective for what it's for. This may be very biased because it's my personal opinion, but it makes it harder for me to understand the plot of the story. Instead of making the story more interesting because the time is being slowed, it makes it more boring because the time is too slow, and then I'm not interested in reading anymore. This is the reason why I do not enjoy gothic stories.
3. Where does the writer fail to support her points with evidence? What evidence from the story would you suggest adding to support these points?
MuffinAlien doesn't fail to support her points with evidence. Every example MuffinAlien told, she gave a quote to go with it.
4. Read the essay again and edit it for errors. Find and fix as many spelling, capitalization, and punctuation errors as you can. Pay special attention to the errors you learned about in the lesson, but look for other types of errors as well. You may write your edits directly into the essay.
I do not believe that there is anything wrong with the essay MuffinAlien wrote, but i suppose i wouldn't get a good grade if i didn't do much on this essay, so i'll try my best to fix it somehow.
Gothic writing is marked by the suspense of not knowing what will happen next in a story. Great Gothic writers like Edgar Allan Poe move beyond simple techniques to build suspense. His stories are more than the usual "It was a dark and stormy night." In his popular Gothic story, "The Black Cat," you can see Poe effectively using clear narrative choices to build suspense. How he holds back information and controlled pacing develops the narrator's character are both two good examples of how he does it.
Holding back information is the first way Poe builds suspense. As the story begins, the narrator is clearly addressing an audience. He says it in a way as if he knows us already. It says at the very beginning of the story, "But to-morrow I die, and to-day I will empty my soul." This statement is so extreme that anyone who would stumble onto these words would be attached, wondering what's going to happen next. None of the questions flowing through the reader's mind are answered until much later in the story. The now-curious reader must read along.
Along with this, Poe effectively controls the pacing of the story to which also builds suspense. Whenever the action becomes intense and the narrator becomes excited or violent, the sentences are either short or very choppy. For example, “...They left no nook or corner unexplored. At length, for the third or fourth time, they descended into the cellar. I trembled not in a muscle. My heart beats calmly as that of one who slumbers in innocence…” These sentences are short, direct, and choppy, creating more suspension. When Poe wants to create the illusion that time is passing more slowly; he uses longer and more complex sentences that must be read more carefully and slowly. For example, “To those who have cherished an affection for a faithful and wise dog, I need hardly be at the trouble of explaining the nature or the intensity of the satisfaction, therefore available. There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a savage, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasions to test the small friendship and cobweb loyalty of basic Man.” These sentences are very long, showing that time is passing very slowly.
Poe creates suspense in the story by using more complex tools and narrative choices than just setting the story on a stormy night in a haunted house or middle age castle. He holds back information and carefully controls the pacing. These narrative choices are so effective that we're still reading Poe's stories more than 150 years after they were first published.

Read the passage. In Federal Drug Administration clinical trials, people who added a particular drug to diet and exercise were able to lose weight, as well as lower their blood pressure. This drug was evaluated in two clinical studies involving overweight adults with high blood pressure. The results of the trials showed that 48 percent of people taking this drug lost some of their body weight. The other group in this trial consisted of people who were not taking this medicine, and only 23 percent of them lost some weight. What is the claim
The question is incomplete and the full version can be found online.
Answer: This drug helps people lose more weight than diet and exercise alone.
Explanation:
The clinical trials involving overweight adults with high blood pressure that were already dieting and exercising showed that those taking the drug under evaluation were more likely to lose weight than those who were not taking the drug. This means that the drug helps people lose more weight than if they were only dieting and exercising.
The claim is not that exercise and diet are more effective to lose weight than the drug, nor that all overweight adults have high blood pressure, and it´s never implied that this drug won’t help people lower their blood pressure if they already exercise.
Given the clinical trials, the claim is that Adding the stated drug to diet can help people lose weight and lower their blood pressure.
A claim is a statement of fact that is backed by evidence. Given the evidence from this trial, we can see that the highest percentage of people who lost weight (48%) used the drug in question.
Therefore, we can form the claim that adding the stated drug to our diet can help us to reduce our weight and lower our blood pressure.

Compare and contrast the genres of magical realism and fantasy. Explain how the genres are similar and how they are different.
The biggest difference between the two is that fantasy takes place in a world other than our own, whereas magical realism focuses on ordinary people going about their ordinary lives in an ordinary world. Magical realism is intentionally vague; people don't know why or how the magic works, it just does
Answer:
The genres of magical realism and fantasy have some similarities and differences. Both genres present worlds with elements of magic or supernatural occurrences, but there are some differences.Magical realism is a genre that merges supernatural or magical elements with realistic characters and settings. The events in magical realism stories are often presented in a way that makes them feel plausible, even though they're not entirely realistic. In contrast, fantasy is a genre that focuses on entirely imaginary worlds and creatures that don't exist in reality.Similarities between magical realism and fantasy:Both genres rely on supernatural or magical elements in their stories. They both present worlds that are different from our own, and they often involve characters that possess special abilities or powers. In both genres, the reader is required to suspend disbelief to accept the magical elements of the story.Differences between magical realism and fantasy:One of the primary differences between the two genres is that magical realism is grounded in reality, while fantasy is not. Magical realism often takes place in the real world, with recognizable characters and settings, while fantasy takes place in entirely imaginary worlds. Additionally, magical realism often uses magical elements to explore real-world issues, while fantasy is more focused on creating entirely new worlds and creatures.

Personal Reflection Writing assignment: Write 2 paragraphs of how the teachers helped you in summer school and how did summer school help you pass
Answer:
Summer school was a privlege and a gift. The teachers were very helpful and took time and effort out of their schedule to come and help the students to pass their classes. I also got more of an understanding in my subjects as well; the teachers always offered help. Although it was definitely more difficult since there wasn't really 1 on 1 help, the teachers did the best to their abilities and I'm thankful to have them help me with my classes that I didn't do so well in.
Not only did summer school help me with my studies and classes, but it also taught me some valuable lessons such as past actions or mistakes will catch up to you. Always stay on top of your tasks so it's one less thing to worry about and possibly set a schedule up to keep myself busy. Although my time there was tiring and almost grueling, I'm thankful I went. This will be a good learning moment for me.

Sir,
A LETTER OF CONGRATULATIONS
It is with great joy that I write this letter of congratulations to you. We are happy to receive you in our school. We have heard of your wonderful record in your former school.
In this school, we have several challenges. Firstly, the restrooms for students are not in order. Most of us have to use the surrounding bushes as our convenience. This problem requires urgent attention.
Secondly, many students have become lazy towards their studies thereby leading to a drop in the standard of the school. This has caused the school to loose its reputation among schools in Aba.
Lastly, this school has an urgent need of a means of transportation for students coming from a distance. We have many students coming from very far regions of the city and they need a school bus to bring them to the school and take them home everyday.
We trust your capacity to fix these challenges as soon as possible.
Yours Faithfully,

Subject: Some of the urgent needs of the school.
Respected Sir,
First of all, I would like to congratulate you on becoming the new Headmaster of our school. It is a pleasure to have you as the head of the school. I hope you will help our school achieve lots of success.
At the same time, I would also like to bring to your attention the urgent needs of the school that have been an underlying issue. One is that there is no library that the students can use for extracurricular activities as well as to refer to other books. Also, the school needs a good sound system for events like sports and other events. And lastly, there is also a need for a good scientific lab for the higher classes to conduct their practicals.
These issues, if resolved, will help elevate the school's condition and also help the students in their studies. This will also ensure that they are given the same level of education that other schools are given.
As the school's prefect, it is my hope that such issues are resolved.
Once again, welcome to the ABC Public School's family, and hoping to achieve greater heights under your leadership.
Yours respectfully,

1. Which passage from The Metamorphosis best illustrates the novella’s message about the pain of alienation?
A)If Gregor had only been able to speak to his sister and thank her for everything that she had to do for him, he would have tolerated her service more easily. As it was, he suffered under it.
B)Now, Gregor could do without the chest of drawers if need be, but the writing desk really had to stay. And scarcely had the women left the room with the chest of drawers, groaning as they pushed it, when Gregor stuck his head out from under the sofa to take a look how he could intervene cautiously and with as much consideration as possible.
C)"Now," said Gregor, well aware that he was the only one who had kept his composure. "I'll get dressed right away, pack up the collection of samples, and set off. You see, Mr. Manager, I am not pig-headed, and I am happy to work."
D)Already he was starting to suffer from a shortage of breath, just as in his earlier days when his lungs had been quite unreliable. . . . at that moment something or other thrown casually flew down close by and rolled in front of him. It was an apple. Immediately a second one flew after it. Gregor stood still in fright.
Answer:
A) If Gregor had only been able to speak to his sister and thank her for everything that she had to do for him, he would have tolerated her service more easily. As it was, he suffered under it.
Explanation:
The keywords in the question are "pain" and "alienation". Answer choices B and C do not have to do with pain, and have a generally neutral connotation. Answer choice D is negative, but it's speaking about apples thrown at Gregor, and is not related to alienation.
Excellent. Answer choice A must be the correct option. This is supported by the phrase "If Gregor had only been able to speak to his sister" which references alienation, and the word "suffered" which links to pain.
Hope this helps!
