can someone please do this page 425; Sometimes he heard talk about
naval battles, and he tried to
imagine what they must have
been like.
In the summer of 1781, James
Forten signed onto the privateer
Royal Louis, commanded by
Stephen Decatur, Sr.The colonies
had few ships of their own to fight
against the powerful British navy
and issued “letters of marque”to
private parties. These allowed the
ships, under the flag of the United
States, to attack British ships and
to profit from the sale of any vessel
captured.The Royal Louis sailed out of
Philadelphia in August and was
quickly engaged by the British
vessel Active, a heavy armed brig
sent from England to protect its
trade ships.
The Royal Louis’s guns were
loaded with gunpowder that was
tamped down by an assistant
gunner. Then the cannonball was
put into the barrel and pushed
against the powder. Then the
powder would be ignited. The
powder had to be kept below decks
in case of a hit by an enemy ship.

page 426;

orten’s job was to carry the
gunpowder from below to the
guns.Up and down the stairs he
raced with the powder as shots from
the British ship whistled overhead.
There were large holes in the sails
and men screaming as they were
hit with grapeshot that splintered
the sides of the ship. The smell of
gunpowder filled the air as Captain
Decatur turned his ship to keep
his broadside guns trained on the
Active. Sailors all about Forten
were falling, some dying even as
others cried for more powder.
Again he went belowdecks,
knowing that if a shot ripped
through to the powder kegs, or if
any of the burning planks fell down
into the hold, he would be killed
instantly in the explosion. Up he
came again with as much powder
as he could carry.After what must have seemed
forever with the two ships tacking
about each other like angry cats,
the Active lowered its flag. It had
surrendered!
Decatur brought his ship into
Philadelphia, its guns still trained
on the limping Active.
The crowd on the dock cheered
wildly as they recognized the
American flag on the Royal Louis..
On board the victorious ship
James Forten had mixed feelings
as he saw so many of his comrades
wounded, some mortally.
The Royal Louis turned
its prisoners over to military
authorities. On the twenty-
seventh of September, the Active
was sold; the proceeds were split
among the owners of the Royal
Louis and the crew.
The sailors with the worst
wounds were sent off to be cared
for. The others, their own wounds
treated, were soon about the
business of repairing the ship.
Forten must have been excited.
Once the fear of the battle had
subsided and the wounded were
taken off, it was easy to think about
the dangerous encounter in terms
of adventure. And they had won.

This question tells us that the Number of songs bought by charlotte is equal to 16

One - fourth = 1/4 of these songs are pop songs

To get the total number of songs that are pop songs, we multiply 16 with 1/4

= 16 x 1/4

= 16/4

= 4.

So in conclusion, the total number of pop songs that charlotte bought is equal to 4.

Previewing the text to get an overview

Previewing a text means that you get an idea of what it is about without actually reading the main body of the text.

2. Skimming

Skimming involves running your eye very quickly over large chunks of text. It is different from previewing because skimming involves the paragraph text. Skimming allows you to pick up some of the main ideas without paying attention to detail. It is a fast process. A single chapter should take only a few minutes.

3. Scanning

Scanning is sweeping your eyes (like radar) over part of a text to find specific pieces of information.

4. Intensive reading

Intensive reading is detailed, focused, ‘study’ reading of those important parts, pages or chapters.

This is 4 general steps, and will get you a 100%.

Explanation:

Predicting means that you take all of the clues you’ve collected, combine them with your prior knowledge about the topic, and make an educated guess about what the text will say.

A figure of speech is a word or phrase that is used in a non-literal way to create an effect. This effect may be rhetorical as in the deliberate arrangement of words to achieve something poetic, or imagery as in the use of language to suggest a visual picture or make an idea more vivid. Overall, figures of speech function as literary devices because of their expressive use of language. Words are used in other ways than their literal meanings or typical manner of application.

Two long time friends, Raj and Rohit, decided to join a camp and experience some time away from civilization, noisy cities, and pollution. They were excited about the idea of being immersed in nature, counting on their survival skills and instincts. One morning, they went out together to explore the surroundings and ended up getting lost. Checking their bags, they found no compasses or anything they could use to find their way back. The more they walked, the more they felt stranded. Away from the camp, their cries and shouts could not be heard by anyone, except for wild animals. And, indeed, Raj and Rohit soon heard a “thump thump” sound approaching. Their hearts beating fast, they watched as a large elephant came closer and closer. The animal trumpeted angrily, as if it was distressed by their presence and wanted to scare them away. The two friends were unable to move, afraid the elephant would chase them in case they tried to run away. As the elephant came towards them, Raj suddenly remembered Rohit had brought a balloon in his bag. Raj recalled asking his friend why he had brought such a useless item along, but now he realized the balloon could actually save them. He asked Rohit for the balloon and immediately started blowing. Soon, he had a big balloon, its rubber as thin as paper, ready to pop. Raj hit it hard with his hand – “bang” – and the loud noise scared the angry animal. The elephant turned away, and Raj and Rohit left out a breath of relief. Not long afterwards, some people from the camp found and saved them, taking them back rapidly.

Hello. You forgot to show part A of the question and forgot to enter the answer options.

Part A shows the main theme of the poem which is "Young soldiers don’t know what they’re getting into when they sign up for war." The response options in Part B are:

A. “What a smile! One large lamp for a face,/smaller lanterns where skin stretches over” ( Lines 1-2)

B. “involuntary shudders/when someone, somewhere, steps over/his shallow, unmarked, mass grave.” ( Lines 10-12)

C. “But his smile remains undimmed/ inviting, not knowing what hit him,” ( Lines 13-14)

D. “and a face just like/his figures like him to stop all action/ with a flick of finger on the trigger.” ( Lines 16-18)

Answer:

C. “But his smile remains undimmed/ inviting, not knowing what hit him,” (Lines 13-14)

Explanation:

This question is about the poem "Boy Soldier." The poem shows that the boys summoned to the war have no idea what they will face, are not well trained and do not imagine the terror of a battlefield. Even so, their enlistment is accepted with an inviting smile, as if they are going to have a wonderful and constructive experience.

Hello. You did not inform the essay to which these questions refer, which makes it impossible for them to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

If the author is presenting a point in an essay it is because he is positioning himself favorably in relation to the subject addressed in the essay. This means that the author's view on this subject is positive and that he will use arguments and evidence to justify that view.

The counterpoint, on the other hand, seeks to debate and position itself against the point raised by the author. In this case, the author shows a negative view, where he presents arguments and evidence that seek to devalue the point.

Answer: I would prefer instruments

Explanation: My reasoning is this, i have a strong connection to music, the way it flows with emotions and passion. I write poetry, and poetry is simply a song without a melody if i knew all the worlds instruments, then perhaps i could give my writing it's own melody.

Answer:

This is a tough one, but I have to say, be fluent in every language.

Explanation:

I was tempted to go for the instrument one, but thinking about it, being fluent in every language would come with so many benefits. Let's say you've always had the strong desire to move out of your hometown and move far away from there. Depending on where, there might be a totally new language you're not familiar with. If you were fluent in every language that exists, this wouldn't be an issue. It just saves a bunch of time for you. (Bonus example: Imagine you went to the grocery store and you had people around you sh#t talking you in a different language. Ohh the look on their face when they realize you understood everything they said is so powerful haha!)

BTW thanks op for the question. I was in need of some points.
