PLEASE HELP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST AND 30 POINTS
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.

Explanation:

The structure of King’s argument  in this passage is very effective.

Thus, the correct option is A.

An argument is a statement or set of claims, known as premises, that seeks to assess the plausibility or acceptability of a conclusion. The logical, dialectical, and rhetorical perspectives are the three basic areas of study for arguments.

An argument in logic can be defined as any group of propositions of which one is claimed to follow from the others through deductively valid inferences that preserve truth from the premises to the conclusion.

Arguments in logic are typically expressed not in natural language but in a symbolic formal language. This logical approach to argumentation is applicable to the sciences, including computer science and mathematics.

Logic is the study of how arguments are reasoned and the creation of norms and criteria for judging arguments.

Deductive arguments can be sound and the sound ones can be valid: in a sound argument, true premises necessitate a true conclusion; in a valid argument, true premises necessitate a true conclusion, even if one or more of the premises are false and the conclusion is wrong.

Explanation:

Answer:

Dear Jax

Thank you a bunch for inviting me over for your birthday!

But unfortunately I had been unable to attend it, I am sorry that this notice was not said sooner and I hope you will be able to understand that I had an important meeting at the time the party had started. I will have to take you for a birthday bash when I am free again, it will of course be my treat. You can think of this as being a second birthday minus the addition you being another year older- who would want to age twice within a span of a week?

For the next "Birthday bash" I was hoping to take you out to your favourite restaurant where you will be able to enjoy your by far all-time favourite dinner! With of course a dessert of your choice.

Just let me know when you are next free and I will sort the event out!

Best wishes and a happy belated birthday.

Answer:Spiderman, The Matrix and The Lion King all follow Joseph Campbell's monomyth. Campbell wrote about the hero's journey in 1949, and people today still read and enjoy the hero’s journey. All hero’s journey stories have trials and adventure. The Book of three by Lloyd Alexander is a hero’s Journey.

          The ordinary world is really boring to the hero in a hero’s Journey. Taran lives in Caer Dallben in the land of Prydain. Taran is bored because he wants to go on an adventure but he is stuck in a farm making horse shoes for a horse they don't have. All hero’s journeys start in a boring world and the hero’s are eager for adventure. Later Taran faces trials.

                   Trails are the tests of strength and bravery towards a hero. Taran had a trial when he had to fight the horned king. It was really difficult at first but he succeeded and he had another trial when he was running from the cauldron-born he thought he was going to get caught but he didn’t because of his bravery. All heroes have hardships to overcome. Once the problem is solved , The hero returns to the ordinary world.

                 The last stage of the hero's Journey is the return. The hero goes back to the ordinary world but they have changed. The whole gang goes back to Caer Dallben, and the stage is set for the next story.

                     The Book of three is a hero's Journey by Lloyd alexander. Joseph Campbell’s monomyth is important because the monomyth isn’t just structure, it's also how we relate ourselves to the movie we're watching or the book we're reading. Taran started his trials and he fought the horned king bravely and he returned to Caer Dallben safe and sound without any injuries. The hero’s Journey is just like our real life we want to go places not be stuck at home in quarantine some of us been through alot like they lost someone in life or get there hearts broken those are your trials but you should never give up and always keep your head up and you would be successful .
