3 Colm, with dilated eyes, eagerly watched it making for the farther end of the lake. It meandered between tall bulrushes, its body black
and solid as stone against the graying water. Then as if it had sunk it was gone. The boy ran stealthily along the bank looking away from the
lake, pretending indifference. When he came opposite to where he had last seen the bird he stopped and peered through the sighing reeds
whose shadows streaked the water in a maze of black strokes. In front of him was a soddy islet guarded by the spears of sedge and
separated from the bank by a narrow channel of water. The water wasn't too deep-he could wade across with care.
How do the setting details in paragraph 3 help convey the theme of the story?
The spears of sedge around the islet imply that something must be protected.
The shadows of the reeds and the graying water make nature seem dark and dangerous.
The shallow water and isolation of the soddy islet implies that nature and animals should not be disturbed.
That a human could wade across the water shows the dominance of people over nature.

Violence in video games is essentially to blame for violence in our society. When children are bombarded with monstrous images, they begin to think that these types of actions are normal or acceptable. Children and teenagers are spending excessive numbers of hours playing video games, and they may begin to use them as a guideline for how to act and behave. Even if they do not perform violent actions, they may become less sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of others because of what they see reflected in these games.

what ironic situation does Shapiro describe in paragraph 3?
Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. Here's the remaining part of the question containing paragraph 3 (The Lessons of Salem by Laura Shapiro).
"He was right: even now the Salem witch trials haunt the imaginations of hundreds of thousands of Americans, tourists, and history buffs alike, who visit Salem for a glimpse of our Puritan past at its most chilling. This year "Salem is getting more attention than ever: the city is sponsoring an array of programs commemorating the Tercentenary, including dramatizations of the trials and symposiums of the legal and medical aspects of identifying witches in the 17th century. With the participation of such organizations as Amnesty International, the Tercentenary has placed a special emphasis on human rights and the role of the individual conscience in times of terror. In 1692, those who “confessed” to witchcraft were spared; only those who insisted on their innocence were hanged. Earlier this month a memorial to the victims was unveiled and on that occasion, the first annual Salem Award, created to honor a significant contribution to social justice, was presented to Gregory Allen Williams of Inglewood, Calif. In the midst of the Los Angeles riots last spring, Williams, who is black, risked his life to save an Asian-American attacked by a mob.
Explanation:
Remember, the term ironic situation is used when a situation where an action brings about an unexpected effect no one imagined would occur. In other words, the resulting outcome is different from what was expected.
For example, Shapiro stated, "Salem is getting more attention than ever: the city is sponsoring an array of programs commemorating the Tercentenary [three hundredth anniversisary], including dramatizations of the trials and symposiums of the legal and medical aspects of identifying witches in the 17th century."
This is an ironic situuation because we learned from the previous paragraphs that those accused of been witches or devils were killed in other to stop the spread of such actions or kind of thinking. However, the very actions that were once condemned have become the subject of attention, with dramatizations of the trials, etc.

A student is writing the introduction to an opinion piece about school subjects drag into the box what the sentence should be include in the introduction to MOST CLEARLY state her opinion.
Answer and Explanation:
Hello. You didn't show the answer options, nor did you say what the students think about school subjects, which makes it impossible for me to answer your question efficiently. However, I will help you as much as I can, showing you how to recognize a sentence that should be placed in the introduction of an opinion article. I hope it helps.
The introduction of an article is the moment when the author must present his theme and make it very clear what he will talk about during the article. Literally, the main subject of the article is introduced in this section. In this case, the student should put in the introduction exactly his opinion about school subjects, showing the position he will defend in the rest of the article.
Example: Schools have failed to provide disciplines that are really important for the academic development of all students, who have spent time on irrelevant and worthless subjects.
Most people remember Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as reformers who practiced non-violent forms of protest and advocacy. Both effectively changed the popular opinion about emotional issues for their countries and brought in a wave of change that was long overdue. But the practice of non-violent protest, or civil disobedience, started long before either Gandhi or King. It began with a quiet, shy poet who is best known for writing a lot about a pond.
Henry David Thoreau lived from 1817 until 1862, mainly in the area of Concord, Massachusetts. The issue that would tear the country apart in the 1860s had already begun dividing the nation. Thoreau was only 14 when Nat Turner led the slave rebellion in Virginia and was later hanged. In his late 20s, Thoreau began speaking against slavery in public, echoing the voices of freedmen like Frederick Douglass and Lewis Hayden.
Thoreau believed that a government that supported slavery was corrupt and immoral. He was also deeply suspicious of government. For these and other reasons, Thoreau refused to pay his poll tax for a number of years. The poll tax was a legal tax owed by every person. It was basically a tax on one's body. After not paying for years, he was at last arrested. He spent only one night in jail, however, as a relative paid the tax for him. He was reportedly furious that any tax was paid on his behalf.
It was this experience that Thoreau wrote about in an essay called "Civil Disobedience." In this essay, he argued that being moral and just came before allegiance to government. He wrote “If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law." He also felt that voting was not enough to ensure that the right thing be done. He wrote that "even voting for the right is doing nothing for it… A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance…" He felt that one had a moral responsibility to resist unjust laws.
Read the sentence below:
"If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law."
In this context, what does the word agent mean?

The women in the play find several items that indicate Mrs. Wright's household routine was abruptly interrupted. The interruption was likely caused by
Answer:
The interruption was likely caused by the death of Mr. Wright which led to the arrest of Mrs. Wright, thus, the incomplete household work.
Explanation:
Susan Glaspell's play "Trifles" revolves around the murder of Mr. Wright while his wife was asleep. But the wife was wrongfully accused of that murder and kept captive for trial.
When the Sheriff came along with the county attorney and the others to observe the crime scene, they found that some things were left lying, as if they had been left abruptly. The dishes/ utensils were left unwashed under the sink, "a loaf of bread outside the bread-box, a dish-towel on the table—other signs of incompleted work." This must be because when Mr. Wright's death was discovered, Hale immediately called Harry and took the man down and thus, began the crime investigation. And since Mrs. Wright was the only one present during the "killing" of her husband, she was the first suspect to be taken which must have been why she had to abandon all things undone and be taken to the station.
Moreover, Hale also mentioned how "queer" Mrs. Wright looked when he asked her about the death, remarking that she just sat on the rocking chair and pleated her apron, with not much of an expression on her face.
