I wrote this song. rate 1-10. Pouring rain (written by Alaska) Once upon a time, in a messed up world, was a lil girl with a broken past, Everyday she walked around, Always on the verge of tears, Nobody really noticed, nobody ever cared, (chorus) But she stood proud, She stayed strong, Cause in her heart she believed there was still hope to come, She is just a girl with a dream of a million stars, Come to carry on her gift, As she danced through that pourin' rain Every night before she closed her eyes, She looked up at the northern star, Prayed a wish to make things change, Even though she cried it ain't true, (chorus)

Select the correct answer. My mom is always repeating the same old joke: if your friends all jumped off a cliff, would you jump, too? Of course not. But I get what she means. She's talking about peer pressure. Teenagers like us live with it every day. Pretty much every kid wants to be liked, to have friends, to be popular. No one wants people to think they aren't cool. While peer pressure is tough, giving in to it and getting in trouble is tougher. But teenagers are still learning to make good decisions. Like this one time my friend Harold wanted to take his dad's prized Jeep Grand Cherokee for a drive. Harold was 13, and he'd never driven a car before. But he figured he knew enough about operating a motor vehicle just by watching his parents drive. When his parents were out of town one weekend, Harold invited me and some of our friends over to his house so he could take us for a drive. I said, "Not me," because I knew it was a stupid thing to do. I told him and everybody else what I thought of the idea. (Driving isn't easy. It took my big brother weeks to get the hang of it.) Harold got mad and told me I was being a chicken. I said, "I'd rather be a chicken than get in an accident and have a broken leg." What is the topic of this passage? A. Harold B. being popular C. peer pressure D. learning to drive

You want your persuasive speech to be your best speech of the semester. In order to make it great, you tell the students that sports' scholarships won't be honored next year.

Your speech persuades your classmates (most of whom are volleyball players) to demand meetings with their financial aid advisor. You offer to help and distribute a sign-up sheet to pass along to financial aid. What is the problem in this scenario

Which of these inferences is best supported by the following paragraph? “If then we prefer to meet danger with a light heart but without laborious training, and with a courage which is gained by habit and not enforced by law, are we not greatly the better for it? Since we do not anticipate the pain, although, when the hour comes, we can be as brave as those who never allow themselves to rest; thus our city is equally admirable in peace and in war. For we are lovers of the beautiful in our tastes and our strength lies, in our opinion, not in deliberation and discussion, but that knowledge which is gained by discussion preparatory to action. For we have a peculiar power of thinking before we act, and of acting, too, whereas other men are courageous from ignorance but hesitate upon reflection. And they are surely to be esteemed the bravest spirits who, having the clearest sense both of the pains and pleasures of life, do not on that account shrink from danger. In doing good, again, we are unlike others; we make our friends by conferring, not by receiving favors. Now he who confers a favor is the firmer friend, because he would rather by kindness keep alive the memory of an obligation; but the recipient is colder in his feelings, because he knows that in requiting another’s generosity he will not be winning gratitude but only paying a debt. We alone do good to our neighbors not upon a calculation of interest, but in the confidence of freedom and in a frank and fearless spirit. To sum up: I say that Athens is the school of Hellas, and that the individual Athenian in his own person seems to have the power of adapting himself to the most varied forms of action with the utmost versatility and grace. This is no passing and idle word, but truth and fact; and the assertion is verified by the position to which these qualities have raised the state. For in the hour of trial Athens alone among her contemporaries is superior to the report of her. No enemy who comes against her is indignant at the reverses which he sustains at the hands of such a city; no subject complains that his masters are unworthy of him. And we shall assuredly not be without witnesses; there are mighty monuments of our power which will make us the wonder of this and of succeeding ages; we shall not need the praises of Homer or of any other panegyrist whose poetry may please for the moment, although his representation of the facts will not bear the light of day. For we have compelled every land and every sea to open a path for our valor, and have everywhere planted eternal memorials of our friendship and of our enmity. Such is the city for whose sake these men nobly fought and died; they could not bear the thought that she might be taken from them; and every one of us who survive should gladly toil on her behalf.” Question 5 options: a) Grief has deranged Pericles beyond reason. b) Pericles fears that the dead have been sacrificed in vain. c) Pericles believes that Athenians play too hard and work too little. d) Pericles thinks Athens is powerful because of its intellectual freedom and motivation.

Passage 1
"Big data" is becoming a buzz word of the 21st century. Technically, big data refers to a data set that is too large to analyze. Colloquially, big data refers to the ever-increasing amount of personal information that is collected by computers. Computers monitor and record our online habits, what we buy at the grocery store, our medical and educational records, and even our location. This glut of information has many screaming about privacy concerns. However, sensible protections can be put into place that will unlock the power of big data and positively transform our economy, science, and society.

Passage 2
The casual acceptance of the collection of personal data is one of the most troubling trends of the information age. Proponents of big data argue that the benefits outweigh the potential risks, and that proper regulation of the use of data can adequately control the dangers. However, it is very unlikely that we will be able to identify the right ways to regulate the use of data and to persuade the global community to agree on these regulations. Even if we could, what group or agency has the power to monitor the entirety of the Internet? It is far wiser to take immediate steps to limit the collection of personal data now.

The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best
could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.
You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not
suppose, however, that I gave utterance to a threat. At length
I would be avenged; this was a point definitely settled-but
the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded
the idea of risk. I must not only punish but punish with
impunity.* A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes
its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails
to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong
It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had 1
given Fortunato cause to doubt my good will. I continued, as
was my wont, to smile in his face, and he did not perceive
that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation.**
