A Big Year
By Bob Kowalski
Would you go to the ends of the earth to see a bird? What if it were a really special bird: one with beautiful feathers, an entrancing call, or a silly dance? What if seeing that one special bird would allow you to win a contest?
If that contest doesn't get you on television or win you any cash prizes, would you still do it? For those who participate in the "Big Year," the honor of beating the previous record is the only reward they get or even want.
A "Big Year" is a year in which a person attempts to see as many different species of birds as possible within a particular region. For most in North America who participate in a "Big Year," this region is the lower 48 American states, plus Alaska, Canada, and a couple of French islands off the Canadian coast.
You may be thinking that looking at birds is silly, but just think about the numbers of the recent record holders and the commitment it takes to get these numbers. One recent "Big Year" winner managed to see 744 birds in one year, missing the record by just one bird. Big Year birders travel by train, plane, boat, car, bicycle, and of course, by foot. They can cover over 150 thousand miles to get numbers of sightings this high. They can also spend a small fortune.
Just to clarify, the birds these contestants are counting are the number that they see in a particular year. You see, the contest is based on an honor system. No pictures or other evidence is required as proof of a sighting. Most birders take great pride in their reputation and their abilities to see or hear and then identify a bird. Usually, important sightings of the rare birds needed to get counts in the 700s are visited by hundreds of birders. It is pretty hard to cheat your way to a record-breaking year, but in general, few are interested in cheating.
This honesty comes from the fact that most people who want to break such a record know the greatest rewards are not necessarily in winning. Such rewards are in being able to commit a year of your life to doing something you love. Rewards are found in seeing amazing, inspiring creatures like the California Condor or the Magnificent Frigate bird. Rewards also come in spending time with people who, like you, want to spend their time looking to the skies and trees for glimpses of emerald, crimson, or cerulean blue feathered jewels.
You don't have to be able to travel a continent to have a big birding experience though. Have a big month. Or a big weekend. Set a personal record, learn to identify the species that live in your part of the world, or try to learn the calls of just two species of birds. You will soon find looking at birds isn't such a strange way to spend your time.
Extra! Extra! Backyard Birding
Many schools, families, and young birders across the country participate in the "Great Backyard Bird Count." While not as long as a "Big Year," the "Great Backyard Bird Count" happens every year. It depends on birders and families across the country to watch feeders and other areas in their yards and count the number of birds they see. Unlike the "Big Year," the goal is not to see who can count the most birds. Instead, participants in this event work together to help bird experts get a good idea of how birds are doing. Participants are given checklists and enter their sightings on a website. Called a "citizen-science" project, this event is open to anyone, requires no travel, and happens every year over one weekend in February.

What is the similarities and differences of intimate
RDER
and casual speech style.
Intimate
Casual
Answer:
Explanation:
Both Casual and intimate speech style are used in an informal setting (unofficial scenario between colleagues, friends or members of a social group). Both types of speech usually do not require a lot of coordination or measured approach, arrangement or careful selection of phrases as could be required in an official or formal set up. However, it is worthy of noting that intimate and casual aren't the same, even though both are speeches are operated on an informal level, the intimate speech style is often used between people who share a very close relationship, this include very close friend or family member, between spouses and so on. Casual speeches may occur between colleagues and those we share a lesser degree of intimacy with. Content and mode of intimate speeches are often more informal and as such very loose than between casual speeches.

Read the poem "Grass" and answer the question that follows.
Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo.
Shovel them under and let me work—
I am the grass; I cover all.
And pile them high at Gettysburg
And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun.
Shovel them under and let me work.
Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?
Where are we now?
I am the grass.
Let me work.
What is the significance of the phrase "Two years, ten years" in line 7?
The phrase describes the intervals between the wars.
The phrase stresses that grass needs time to do its work.
The phrase suggests that people quickly forget the past.
The phrase implies that time helps people heal their emotional wounds.
Answer:
The phrase suggests that people quickly forget the past.
Explanation:
We can immediately strike out "The phrase stresses that grass needs time to do its work." since it is clear that there is a deeper meaning to the poem. We can strike out "The phrase implies that time helps people heal their emotional wounds. " under the explaination that there is no emotional aspect to the poem. It is from the grass's POV. There have been no emotional connections said outright to allow us to draw this conclusion. Finally, we can strike "The phrase describes the intervals between the wars. " Although places such as Austerlitz, Waterloo, Gettysburg, Ypres, and Verdun are mentioned, it doesn't seem as though this is what the poem is mainly about. It is about how the grass is working for years and years. It can be assumed that as many people forget about grass, people can quickly forget the past.
Answer:
C) The phrase suggests that people quickly forget the past.
Explanation:
The significance of the phrase "Two years, ten years" in line 7 is that it suggests that people quickly forget the past. The phrase implies that even after a relatively short period of time has passed, people no longer remember or recognize the places where great battles were fought. This is symbolized by the passengers on the train who ask the conductor "what place is this?" and "where are we now?" This suggests that the memories of these events are quickly forgotten, and that the dead are soon buried and forgotten beneath the grass. This is further emphasized by the use of repetition throughout the poem, which underscores the way in which history repeats itself over time.
My brother is a clown. Is it a simile or Metaphor
The sentence ' My brother is a clown' is a metaphor because the words like or as is not used which are commonly used in simile.
What is a metaphor?A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that is not literally true but aids in explaining an idea or drawing a comparison. It equates those two things not because they are identical, but rather for the sake of comparison or symbolism.
A simile is a figure of speech that compares two things directly. Similes differ from metaphors in that they emphasize the similarities between two things by using comparison words like "like," "as," "so," or "than," whereas metaphors create an implicit comparison (i.e. saying something "is" something else).
Therefore, the given sentence is a metaphor.

Define the conflict in the following statements and determine its type.
“His fingers shook as he punched in his number on the inquiry board. “This is highly irregular, Brock 095670038,” the disembodied voice said.”
Answer:
Character v Self
Explanation:
In literary works, a conflict is a struggle between two opposing forces. In the example above, the character seems to be in a confused mental state which limits his ability to properly coordinate himself. This can be realized through his disembodied voice.
His lack of coordination while punching in the numbers also shows how unstable he was. We can therefore conclude that the character is experiencing a conflict within himself.

During school program you noticed that your friends clothes look much better than yours
She look beautiful in that dress, I said to myself when I noticed one of my friend wearing a very sparkling clothes. I thought for a moment why didn't my mother brought me beautiful clothes like others, why is my mother only the old fashion lady, all these question arrived in my mind just at that time.
As I got home I looked for my mother everywhere but she was nowhere to be found. I asked my neighbors but they either couldn't tell me where she was.
I feeling hopeless sat at the corner of the room thinking that my mother has left me alone all by my self, but to my astonishment there was this "knock knock" I ran towards the door open it and a lady looking so much worried entered in the house. I felt very blue looking at my mother and went to her to ask what was the matter. She tried to hide from me, but the man standing besides her told me that she was suffering form cancer. I was shocked to hear this and ran up in my room. All night I was sobbing and feeling so embarrassed that how greediness has killed my inner piece.
It has taken life of my mother who meant too much for me , without her I was nothing, without her I had no place of my own. Then and there I realized how my greediness has cost me.
