Also, the traditional harvest celebrations of England and New England and maybe other ideal like commemoration the pilgrims. All these events have been gathered together and transformed into something different from the original part.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, excerpt
By Mark Twain

When Tom awoke in the morning, he wondered where he was. He sat up and rubbed his eyes and looked around. Then he comprehended. It was the cool gray dawn, and there was a delicious sense of repose and peace in the deep pervading calm and silence of the woods. Not a leaf stirred; not a sound obtruded [interrupted] upon great Nature's meditation. Beaded dewdrops stood upon the leaves and grasses. A white layer of ashes covered the fire, and a thin blue breath of smoke rose straight into the air. Joe and Huck still slept.

Now, far away in the woods a bird called; another answered; presently the hammering of a woodpecker was heard. Gradually the cool dim gray of the morning whitened, and as gradually sounds multiplied and life manifested itself. The marvel of Nature shaking off sleep and going to work unfolded itself to the musing boy. A little green worm came crawling over a dewy leaf, lifting two-thirds of his body into the air from time to time and "sniffing around," then proceeding again—for he was measuring, Tom said; and when the worm approached him, of its own accord, he sat as still as a stone, with his hopes rising and falling, by turns, as the creature still came toward him or seemed inclined to go elsewhere; and when at last it considered a painful moment with its curved body in the air and then came decisively down upon Tom's leg and began a journey over him, his whole heart was glad .... Now a procession of ants appeared, from nowhere in particular, and went about their labors; one struggled manfully by with a dead spider five times as big as itself in its arms, and lugged it straight up a tree-trunk. A brown spotted lady-bug climbed the dizzy height of a grass blade, and Tom bent down close to it and said, "Lady-bug, lady-bug, fly away home, your house is on fire, your children's alone," and she took wing and went off to see about it—which did not surprise the boy, for he knew of old that this insect was credulous [trusting] about conflagrations [fires], and he had practised upon its simplicity more than once. A tumblebug came next, heaving sturdily at its ball, and Tom touched the creature, to see it shut its legs against its body and pretend to be dead. The birds were fairly rioting by this time. A catbird, the Northern mocker, lit in a tree over Tom's head, and trilled out her imitations of her neighbors in a rapture of enjoyment; then a shrill jay swept down, a flash of blue flame, and stopped on a twig almost within the boy's reach, cocked his head to one side and eyed the strangers with a consuming curiosity; a gray squirrel and a big fellow of the "fox" kind came skurrying along, sitting up at intervals to inspect and chatter at the boys, for the wild things had probably never seen a human being before and scarcely knew whether to be afraid or not. All Nature was wide awake and stirring, now; long lances of sunlight pierced down through the dense foliage far and near, and a few butterflies came fluttering upon the scene. Review the excerpt above. Answer the following question in a well-developed paragraph.

What character traits does Tom demonstrate when he is lost in the woods?

Question 2 of 5
It's understandable that authors would be inspired to create characters
and situations based on real life. But authors don't have the right to
advance their careers using stories that are not theirs to tell. Writers
should only tell stories about themselves or from their own
imaginations, because telling other people's stories without
permission is basically a form of stealing.
Where in an argumentative essay would this excerpt most likely belong?
O A. In the middle of the essay, because it contains evidence
B. At the beginning of the first paragraph, because it contains a hook
C. At the end of the last paragraph, because it contains a conclusion
D. At the end of the first paragraph, because it contains the claim

Paige has been asked to respond to this excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen.

I found that at college I could get help from my teachers with solving business problems and in learning new techniques for designing new things. I enjoyed talking to my professors and learning physics and other complex subjects--but I never had time to go to class. I literally never went to class. My professors were mentors and private tutors. The professors gave me as much time as they reasonably could. Every once in a while one would say, "Sorry, I've got to go teach a class"--and leave.

What is the best educated opinion that Paige can include in her response?

Kamen was a lazy college student.
Kamen had a strong desire to learn.
Kamen's favorite subject was physics.
Kamen paid his professors to tutor him.

The more we reflect upon this question, the harder it is to answer. It involves a study of the human heart which leads us through devious mazes of passion, out of which it is difficult to find our way. Think of it, fair reader, not as if the decision of the question depended upon yourself, but upon that hot-blooded, semi-barbaric princess, her soul at a white heat beneath the combined fires of despair and jealousy. She had lost him, but who should have him?

And looked down one as far as I could
Then took the other, as just as fair,

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

What is a stanza when in a two-voiced poem

You have read the myth “The Twilight of the Gods” from Asgard Stories and the informational text “How the Ancient Egyptians Shaped the World’s View of Life After Death.” Both texts suggest the importance of an afterlife to the people of ancient worlds. Now discuss the similarities and differences between these .

Let's read an excerpt from one of your classmate's posts:

In both texts, the gods played an important role. They appeared to support the idea that what happened to a person in the next world reflected their actions and values in this one. When the worlds were destroyed in the great battle between gods and giants, it took a long time for a new world to begin again. . . So it seems the value of hard work is important to them, bad people will be punished, and a new, better world is possible.

Likewise, the Egyptians believed that living a virtuous life on earth was important. The author of the informational text states that the goal of Egyptians was to reach a state of pure happiness forever. They believed that after death, the spirit lived on in another place, the afterlife.. This is different from the Norse belief that those who valued hard work over living joyfully, but similar in the belief in punishment for bad deeds.

Create one original post in which you

Write about the similarities and differences between the two texts, focusing on the belief systems of each culture.
Support each similarity and difference with evidence from the texts.
Create two response posts in which you

Review a classmate’s post. Then, paraphrase their ideas, using your own words to reflect on the similarities and differences they described, acknowledging their unique perspective on the ideas and sharing your own.
Cite evidence from the texts to probe for additional explanation of classmates’ ideas.
