letter to a local newspaper after an extreme sports incident.

Answers

Answer 1

Dear Editor.

After reading an article in hisjournal to which he reported a series of accidents that occurred with the execution of radical sports, I felt responsible for showing my concern with this type of information and that is why I am writing you this letter.

The article to which I refer, only listed the fatal accidents that happened with the practice of these sports, however, the article considered the victims as irresponsible people in addition to pointing out that extreme sports are malefic and a "plague" for society.

This article, in addition to being disrespectful, is a disservice and an injustice, since extreme sports are passive to incidents, like any other type of physical activity. The article in question should have stated this, in addition to showing that there are several guidelines that must be taken to avoid incidences not only in extreme sports like any other sport.

In addition, the article discredits the benefits that physical activity through extreme sports offers to individuals and portrays the sport as a villain, and these sports are great examples of socialization, recreation and fun for countless people.

For this reason, I very much ask that a retraction be made on behalf of the entire sports scene in the country that was devalued with this article.

Sincerely

Virginia Chan.

10 Read the passage below about graffiti and then answer the questions.

When people used to say 'art', most of us thought of a posh, rich person standing in a gallery
enjoying a painting hanging on a wall, but thankfully in today's society this image is fast
disappearing, Art can be created from anything, it can be created into different forms that
both intrigue and stimulate our senses.
Graffiti is urban street art which people associate with gangs and their territories
vandalism and violence. It gives the impression that the area is dangerous, but this is because
people don't understand what graffiti represents, and how inspiring it can be
One style of grafhiti is called 'bombing'. This is when someone writes on a wall in a style
that is their own, whether it be in fancy lettering, colours, or both. It is a way for them to
express themselves, what they think art is and what art means to them. Some people have
misguided attitudes towards this form of art, so it is complained about by communities
and made illegal. Youths then feel that the older generation is dictating what art should be
instead of letting them have the freedom to use public spaces to convey their own views and
create clever and pleasing images.

A farmer and a teacher, a hoo ker and a preacher
Ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico
One was headed for vacation, one for higher education
And two of them were searchin' for lost souls
That driver never ever saw the stop sign
An' eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows
I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you
It's what you leave behind you when you go

That farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty acres
The faith an' love for growin' things in his young son's heart
And that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children
Did her best to give 'em all a better start

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Why there's not four of them Heaven only knows

That's a story that our preacher told last Sunday
As he held that blood-stained bible up
For all of us to see
He said (Bless the farmer, and the teacher, an' that preacher)

When was the poem My Mother Really Knew written

Answers

Answer:

I believe it was written in 1955 or 1956 or around that time.

Explanation:

(I looked it up just to make sure I was correct and it is 1955)  

Edgar Allan Poe's poem "To My Mother" explores the poet's personal losses, including the passing of his own mother, and the high regard he now has for mothers. The poem My Mother Really Knew was written in 1955.

Rabindranath Tagore takes on the perspective of a young child in this poem who lost his mother very young and is unable to recall her. Even though she isn't there, he nevertheless senses his mother's influence in a variety of insignificant elements of his life and catches glimpses of her in ordinary occurrences.

The poem, a Shakespearean sonnet with the rhyming pattern ababcdcdefefgg, demonstrates Poe's continued literary talent just before his passing, not long after he was discovered unconscious and dressed as someone else on the streets of Baltimore.

Explanation:

Molokai's seclusion is caused in part by its limited natural resources. Steep hillsides, an
arid climate, strong winds, and rough seas mean that only a small portion of the land is
viable for economic and agricultural development. But because of Molokai's close
proximity to more powerful islands, covetous outsiders spent centuries exploiting what
existed of its natural resources, hoping to squeeze a profit out of Molokal for
themselves. From Hawaiian chieftains to modern corporations, the land was used and
abused, leading to a vicious cycle of land-clearing, soil degradation, landslides, and
more. In short, those in power would wreak havoc on the land and depart, leaving the
Island in ruin. The small local population was left to pick up the pieces.
Why did the author include this passage?
A
To point out that in the past, the actions of Molokal's native residents in extracting the
island's natural resources caused environmental ruin on a massive scale
B
To suggest that Molokai is now ripe for economic development because valuable and
highly exploitable natural resources remain on the island
с
To draw emphasis to the fact that the island of Molokai is located in such a remote
location that the economic development of its resources is extremely difficult

To explain that in spite of the island's remote location and relative lack of natural
