The rising action of a story begins when a conflict is introduced. A story's rising action includes the major plot points leading up to the climax.

In this case, since Rainsford has fallen into the water, there is now a person versus nature conflict which starts the rising action.

Which sentence best reveals the purpose of the speech in the excerpt from Franklin D. Roosevelt's "First Inaugural Address"?
Answer:
I have a few different ideas, is one of these right?
Explanation:
I am certain that my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the Presidency I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our Nation impels. This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days.
Answer:
I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days.
Explanation:
Why do you think Hal, Mercedes, and Charles set out for the Klondike when they were so inexperienced? Give at least 3 examples as to why they were unsuccessful.
Answer:
Explanation:
There could be a lot of possible reasons as to why Hal, Charles, and Mercedes head for the Klondike despite their inexperience. In fact, I would probably say that they headed for the Klondike because of their inexperience. The trio is simply ignorant of the dangers present in nature, and they are ignorant of the necessary supplies that they need and don't need. They are foolish and overconfident. They feel that their desire to get to their destination will somehow overcome any kind of difficulty.
I'm also confident that they head out to the Klondike because they are greedy. If there was no promise of future wealth, I do not think that they would have gone.
I believe that a reader could make a case that the trio is also stubborn. They are warned about their timing and load, but Hal, Mercedes, and Charles do not heed any of that advice.
As for why they were unsuccessful in reaching the Klondike, the easy is answer is that they died. Their deaths could have been avoided had they listened to the advice of the experienced men about how much to load the sled and to not go over the ice that late in the season. Their arrogance and foolishness ultimately got them killed.

Answer: Take it one step at a time. Annotations are up to you. Highlight words and phrases that you find interesting, or peculiar and , as the directions state: Label "Question" if you wonder why the author used it, or you might want to find the definition or ask others about their interpretation. Label "Track" if the phrase or sentence is like evidence for how the plot, characterization or theme is developing. Label "Response" If you have a reaction-- like "This narrator is showing signs of insanity. Eight nights sneaking in to look in on an old man sleeping. He's crazy!"
Explanation: I see the word "steadily" highlighted. You might question why the word is repeated. Is it to establish a rhythm-- like the narrator's own heartbeat?
There is no exactly right answer to this. The only mistake is not to try.
Good Luck-- and enjoy the story, IF you can imagine yourself in the scenario!
nswer the following in a complete paragraph or more using good organization, standard formal English, proper grammar, and great content. If you could have the power to read people’s minds, would you choose to have this super power? Why or why not?
Answer:
I would choose to not have this super power, because you can be hurt by what you see in people‘s minds. For example, if you asked your friend if they liked you outfit, and they said yes, if you could read your friends mind you could find that they hate it, and that not only do they not like it, but they think it is horrendous! so, all together I believe it would be better to go though life without the ability to read minds. Because of how much it could it could hurt me.
Explanation:
Hope you like it!
If You Wouldn't Want This Super Power...
If I could read people's minds, I would choose not to have it. I wouldn't want to have this super power because it might hurt me. For example, someone might say, "Wow you look amazing!" but they're just saying that to make me feel good. They might think I look bad, and if you could know that, you would feel bad as well. It also won't benefit me either. I'm already pretty good at detecting lies, and I certainly don't want to know the weird things going on inside of random people's heads. Therefore, I would not choose to be able to read people's minds, because it would do nothing but hurt me.
If You Would Want This Super Power...
If I could read people's minds, I would choose to have it! I would want to have this super power because I could know everything going on inside of peoples heads; like what they actually thought about me, or if there's any mischief going on inside their heads! (you should probably not include this part) You could also protect yourself. For example, if someone wanted to murder you, you would know. Also you could know what people experience, if they are dying inside or anything. Overall, I think being able to read people's minds would be amusing and cool!
You can say yes or no, and also you can tweak this to what's true about you and what you think! ♡
Hope this helped! ♡

Nights and Dragons— From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne 1 I sit at my desk listening to thunder growl outside my window. Flashes of light burst through the darkness, and wind races past my window. The thrilling combination of sight and sound conjures up visions of dragons roaring proudly, breathing fire, and soaring across the midnight sky. Dragons first fascinated me when I was a little girl. They have followed me ever since. The magnificent creatures appeared in storybooks I read in the library, paintings I saw in museums, movies I watched in the theater, and the dreams I had in my sleep. By the time I was thirteen, one question consumed me. I wanted to know if dragons ever existed, so I set out on a quest for facts. 2 As I started my research, I discovered many skeptics. Scientists presented evidence to show why dragons could not—and did not—exist. They explained that it would be impossible for dragons to fly because they would be too big. They laughed at the idea of dragons breathing fire. They pointed out that no other animal has ever done this. They said that if dragons had lived, someone would have found remains somewhere in the world. No bones about it, there were plenty of logical explanations. It would have been easy for me to accept that the only place dragons ever existed was in the imaginations of those who believed. 3 I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed. 4 With renewed hope that there was some truth to the legends, I looked for new research. I found that some experts disagreed with popular arguments against dragons. They suggested that a dragon could have four stomachs like a cow. If it created stomach gases like birds, it might create enough to lift itself off the ground. This would give it the ability to fly. If it forced out air when diving toward the earth, it might release gases which could ignite into flame. When the animal died, the stomachs would release strong acids that would dissolve its dead body over time. Biologists backed up these ideas with sketches and models based on known animals. Not everyone agreed with these ideas, but many of the things we accept about dinosaurs and other extinct species started the same way. 5 I doubt we will ever truly know whether dragons existed. There may always be two sides to the fiery debate. Some will say the stories come from active imaginations. Some will believe with all their hearts that the legendary creatures roamed our ancient world. I don't know for certain which side to believe, but the sound and fury of a night like this makes me smile. It rekindles my childhood dreams and keeps the exciting possibility alive. Which sentence from paragraph 4 makes an explicit statement without offering any implicit suggestions? With renewed hope that there was some truth to the legends, I looked for new research. If it created stomach gases like birds, it might create enough to lift itself off the ground. Biologists backed up these ideas with sketches and models based on known animals.
Answer:
1The main idea would be "Scientists have lots of evidence to explain why dragons don't exist."
2. Emphasized by the evidence and word choice related to scientific evidence
3. The main idea would be "I have always wondered if dragons existed, and I hope they did."
4. Displayed through the author's nature of questioning and evaluating different kinds of evidence and ideas.

A little girl ducked in and through crowds. Her goal was to find food before the people she called VEPs (Very Experienced Police) could find her. She spotted bread hiding in a bag. A quick swipe and she ran. She heard the lady yelling behind her. Cars zoomed past her. She had gotten away! The police were no match for her, as she was a little speedy one. She laughed.
Steps behind her.
“Little s treet-roach!” a voice suddenly boomed, laughing hysterically.
No, she jinxed herself.
Then she heard the crackles and the whips. The police had whips. Electricity surged behind her. She had a huge scar on her back from one of those. She spotted the musty basement door, her escape. She sprinted and darted toward it. She knew there was another exit in this basement, as she had done this many times before. After staggering through the darkness a couple times, she finally found a sliver of light. She scurried towards it out the back, she sprinted to her home; an old car wreck next to an overfilled trash can. She hid in the car, panting. The AEPs ran past the alleyway, muttering to themselves. She sighed. At least her soul was not taken away by the police. At least, not yet. It was strange to her. The police controlled whether you kept your soul or not. No- your parents controlled it, if you had any of those. Many of the children had their souls sold and were on the other side of the wall that separated the soulless and the souled. You lived in the souled, if you were rich enough. The little girl was not rich at all, yet she still managed to survive with the souled. She chewed on her bread. She shivered at the thought of a VEP getting her soul.

Yes
