"I, too, am powerful, and I am young! I do not fear you. When I touch the earth, it grows soft and warm. Every living thing stirs in its sleep,—birds and bees, flowers and trees, animals and men. When I speak, the sleeping sun awakes. See! Already he begins to send down his arrows. Hasten! that they may not find you, on the trail to the North Sky."
from "How the World Was Made"
Even some of the trees went to sleep. Only the cedar, the pine, the spruce, the holly, and the laurel were awake all seven nights. Therefore they are always green. They are also sacred trees. But to the other trees it was said, “Because you did not stay awake, therefore you shall lose your hair every winter.”

[The thought that came up, came out—if not in the word, in the sound;—and as frequently in the one as in the other.]
[ They would sometimes sing the most pathetic sentiment in the most rapturous tone, and the most rapturous sentiment in the most pathetic tone.]

The competitors for this office sought as diligently to please their overseers, as the office-seekers in the political parties seek to please and deceive the people.

Explanation:
The "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave" is a memoir and a slave narrative by the narrator and author, a former slave himself Frederick Douglass. In this narrative, he recounts his life from birth under the slavery system where he was witness to lots of abuses of the blacks by their white masters. In chapter II, he particularly recounts the level of brainwashing these slaves were under when he recounts the joy of those slaves who are asked to visit the Great House Farm. He likens them to the elected representatives of the US Congress who feel proud to be a member of the high office. There seems to be a level of importance that is with the sent slave, far above his fellow slaves. These are no better than the 'slaves' of the government that do the bidding of their 'masters'. They blindly assert self importance to their being, assuming themselves to be above the others.

CHAPTER II—THE SHE-WOLF, an excerpt
From White Fang
By Jack London
Breakfast eaten and the slim camp-outfit lashed to the sled, the men turned their backs on the cheery fire and launched out into the darkness. At once began to rise the cries that were fiercely sad—cries that called through the darkness and cold to one another and answered back. Conversation ceased. Daylight came at nine o'clock. At midday the sky to the south warmed to rose-colour, and marked where the bulge of the earth intervened between the meridian sun and the northern world. But the rose-colour swiftly faded. The grey light of day that remained lasted until three o'clock, when it, too, faded, and the pall of the Arctic night descended upon the lone and silent land.
As darkness came on, the hunting-cries to right and left and rear drew closer—so close that more than once they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs, throwing them into short-lived panics.
At the conclusion of one such panic, when he and Henry had got the dogs back in the traces, Bill said:
"I wisht they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone."
"They do get on the nerves horrible," Henry sympathized.
They spoke no more until camp was made.

According to the myth why does Apsu decide he must kill his children
The correct answer is that Apsu decides he must kill his children because he is disturbed by their noisy behavior and lack of rest, which interrupts his peace and tranquility.
In the Babylonian creation myth, the Enuma Elish, Apsu is the freshwater ocean and one of the earliest deities. He becomes increasingly frustrated with the younger gods, his children, who are constantly active and making noise, which disturbs his peace. The noisy behavior of his offspring is so disruptive that Apsu decides the only solution is to destroy them in order to restore the silence and calm he desires. This decision sets off a chain of events that leads to the creation of the world and the rise of the god Marduk, who eventually defeats Tiamat, the goddess of the saltwater ocean and Apsu's consort, to establish order and create the heavens and the earth. The myth underscores the theme of the struggle between order and chaos, and the emergence of a new order from the conflict between the old and the new generations of gods.

...the hoot of owls, the quavering cry of coons, the twitter of night birds.
Which best explains how the writer's use of the underlined word creates a mysterious mood?
A quavering cry creates a feeling of calm.
A quavering cry creates a feeling of mischief.
A quavering cry creates a feeling of uncertainty.
A quavering cry creates a feeling of boredom.
Answer: A quavering cry creates a feeling of uncertainty.
The use of the word "quavering" conveys a feeling of uncertainty in this passage. The quavering cry cannot be calm, as it is a noisy, somewhat unexpected sound. Because it is not particularly intense, it is unlikely to convey mischief. Finally, a cry is also unlikely to convey a feeling of boredom.

Final answer:
The correct sentence is 'Harry wants to meet my cousin, but she goes to school in Vermont.' because it correctly uses a comma and the conjunction 'but' to connect two independent clauses
Explanation:
The sentence 'Harry wants to meet my cousin, but she goes to school in Vermont.' is the correct sentence among the options provided. In English grammar, a comma followed by a conjunction like 'but' is often used to connect two independent clauses. This correct use of punctuation and conjunction helps clarify the meaning and maintains proper sentence structure.
Reviewing Correct Sentence Structures:
When identifying the subject of a sentence or clause, we refer to the noun or pronoun that is doing the action or being described. For example, in the sentence 'Who is going to the concert?', the subject of the sentence is the implied 'who' that will be attending the concert. In the sentence 'Give the tickets to whoever can use them.', the subject of the clause 'whoever can use them' is 'whoever'. The subject remains the focus of the action or the main topic being talked about in a sentence or clause.
Can someone help me write a conclusion for my essay. I'm quite stuck on it. Here is the essay.
Some jellyfish are smaller than a pinky finger, but some are the most toxic, like the Irukandji jellyfish. Jellyfish are some of the most dangerous creatures in the ocean, let alone the world, while some are practically harmless others, have caused multiple deaths. These jellyfish are invading the oceans that surround us, this can lead to the endangering and possibly the extinction of some creatures in the ocean. Jellyfish not only, harm people with their possibly deadly stings but many animals in the ocean are affected by the invasion and the stings of the jellyfish. Though, it’s hard to stop global warming and stop pollution amongst 7 billion people, there are ways to decrease the number of these jellyfish. Barriers can be created and used to somewhat stop human interaction amongst humans and jellyfish, human interaction is one thing that is causing an increase in the population of jellyfish.
In the oceans, many species of dangerous jellyfish are invading. Many issues within the oceans and that are also dealt with on land are causing this to occur. Ports provide more space for jellyfish and their offspring and eggs. Pollution, global warming, and human interaction are also main factors leading to this invasion. The main issue with the jellyfish invasion is that it is putting people, sea-life, and the food chain in great danger, but another issue is that there is just way too many, in fact some jellyfish lay up to 40,000 eggs in a day, "Science data shows that over the past few years there has been an increase in swarms of jellyfish,” said Steve Hay, a plankton ecologist. Even though some jellyfish are quite harmless, some are extremely dangerous and it’s hard to tell the difference, especially to those who don’t know the difference and the different species.
Many things, including the food chain are in critical danger if the jellyfish invasion isn’t fixed. Some jellyfish kill sea-creatures and even people with their possibly deadly stings, and jellyfish eat prey’s offspring and eggs. If the invasion isn’t stopped, the food chain could possibly be demolished. The demolition of the food chain, could lead to the extinction of multiple species, at the very worst it could lead to the extinctions of humans. For sea-creatures, jellyfish create a rather harsher environment for them. Also, jellyfish have clogged up power plants in multiple countries including Japan, Philippines, and Israel. This has caused power outages amongst many in those countries.
There are ways to stop this invasion, but many of them are rather tough to accomplish. Stopping global warming and pollution would be very hard to accomplish amongst the more than 7 billion people in the world. But, there are some other ways that could prevent at least some of the over-growth. Decreasing the amount of ports, would decrease the amount of space where jellyfish can breed, which can lead to at-least a small decrease in jellyfish. Also, denying human interaction in some areas can decrease the jellyfish population a bit, as human interaction is a main factor in the increase of jellyfish. Also, increasing the number of Bereo jellyfish in the Black Sea can do some good for it, these jellyfish eat Mnemiopsis jellyfish, which do harm to the eco-system. But, decreasing the number of Mnemiopis is creating a more balanced system or at least in the Black Sea, “We are thinking about using the Bereo in other areas, but we are concerned. There is a real fear of negative ecological consequences from introducing new species.” Experts say. In Japan where their power plants are being clogged and disturbed by the increasing number of jellyfish, some high school students from Fisheries High School in Uwajima, Ehime Prefecture Japan decided to cook the jellyfish and turn them into a caramel candy hoping this can help at least a bit.

According to Scholasticism, truth is God's
According to scholasticism, truth is God's WILL.
Perhaps the scholastic teacher most associated with this idea was John Duns Scotus (1266-1308). We might call him "John from Duns, the Scotsman." (That's what his name means - he was from the town of Duns on the Scottish border with England.) Voluntarism was the philosophical idea championed by John Duns Scotus -- from voluntas, Latin for "will." The teaching held that whatever God wills (desires) is always true. Therefore, truth and God's will are synonymous.
"Scholasticism" was the name applied to the theological and philosophical tradition of the "schoolmen" or university scholars in the Middle Ages. Later on, the reformer Martin Luther criticized some of the core teachings of the scholastics--the university teachers of theology. A central scholastic assertion was that if you "do what is in you" (fac quod in te est, as they said it in Latin), following that spark of God's will in you would gain you favor with God. Luther fought against scholastic philosophy with his emphasis on salvation coming solely by grace from God. The grace of God became a higher emphasis in Luther's theology, as opposed to the "will of God" emphasis in scholasticism.
Read the passage. During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country, and at length found myself, as the shades of evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher. I know not how it was—but, with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit . . .
