How Lift-Offs Lift Our Spirits, by Miranda Sharon

America’s space program does not get the attention it once did. It certainly doesn’t generate the same excitement. From the 1950s through the 1970s, astronauts were national heroes. Children dreamed of traveling through space. Adults looked to the moon with the sense of national pride. Those days could—and should—return again.

If average Americans search their brain, it is not hard to find arguments against space travel. It costs money. It’s dangerous. We have enough problems on our own planet. If the same Americans search their hearts, however, the results are different. Deep within us, we all have similar desires. Space exploration fulfills all these desires.

Let’s begin with curiosity. We all have it. From the time we are small children we long to know what is in the next room, down the street, or in the next town. We are nomads, wanting to explore. We are detectives, trying to solve a mystery. We are students of life, seeking answers. The space program gives us a chance to be all those things and more. Even if we don’t travel ourselves, the excitement of new discoveries would again feed our thirst for something new.

Another benefit of returning to space is the inspiration it provides. In the early days of space travel, America had a goal. We wanted to reach space safely and quickly. The country responded spectacularly. Teamwork and creativity reached all-time highs. Students delved deeper into science and math hoping to contribute. Heroes stepped up to bravely accept challenges. We were attempting the impossible and determined to succeed. Think of the amazing things Americans would accomplish if that inspiration returned.

Perhaps the largest thing lost with a shrinking space program is perspective. Exploring space reminds us how small and fragile our planet truly is. It encourages collaboration with other countries which helps cultural differences disappear. It can reveal the effects of abusing natural resources. Looking at our Earth from a great distance gives us a unique view of our world and the effect we have upon it.

Plans for America’s space program should clearly be revisited. Exploration of our solar system should continue not for science or power or money, but for the benefit of mankind. It gives us an outlet for our curiosity. It provides inspiration for our souls. It offers a perspective to help understand our place in the universe. The benefits are as vast as space itself.

Has Ponyboy ever thought positively about Socs before? Why? What changes his perception here

Answers

Answer:

Ponyboy had never thought positively about the Socs before as he thought they were just rich and stuck up and were very different from the Greasers.

But what changes his perspective of them is that when Bob dies, he learns more about his background and who he was. He learns Bob had his own problems and was struggling just like everyone else even though he was a Soc.

Pony learns that Bob just wanted to be told "no" and be cared about, and that is how it was for a lot of Socs. Since Pony learns the Socs are struggling growing up just like the Greasers, he has a new perception of his long time rivals.

a news story about the opening of a new clinic in the community

a biography of a famous psychiatrist

a report on the average income of doctors in different specialties

a case history of how a patient dealt with a problem

Answers

Answer:

A,B,D

Explanation:

Descriptive narratives would be texts that present the case history of how a patient dealt with a problem, a biography of a famous psychiatrist and news about the opening of a new clinic.

Descriptive narratives are texts that tell a story describing it, that is, showing its elements, characteristics and factors.

In other words, we can say that descriptive narratives are:

Texts that want to present something, showing their entire composition.Texts with a wide use of adjectives.Texts that tell how something happened, showing a fictitious or non-fictitious story, with the presentation of characters that can be real or unreal.

It is important to emphasize that adjectives are words that have the ability to present the characteristics of an element, that is, it has the ability to describe an element.

In this case, we can conclude that descriptive narratives is a mixture of narrative text with descriptive text, where a story is told to describe something or someone.

In this introduction, we are told that in order to become a better person, the character Dante in the Inferno must first journey down into Hell to face his own demons head on. What do you think it means to face your demons, and do you agree that this is necessary in order to grow as a person

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The expression "face the demons themselves" is related to the fact that a person must have the strength and courage to face everything bad that is within him, in this case, the "demons" are fear, anguish, defects, hypocrisy and the evil that all human beings have within them.

I agree that in order to grow and become a better person, human beings must face their own "demons", this is because when facing what we have bad, we can stimulate and grow what we have good and that allows us to be evolved.

Answers

Answer:

8. run-on

9. fragment

10. run-on

11. lack of parallel construction

12. run-on

13. fragment

14. dangling participle

15. lack of parallel construction

Explanation:

When independent clauses are joined incorrectly, we have what is called a run-on sentence. There are two types of run-on sentences. A fused sentence is the type that happens when we join the clauses without any sort of punctuation. A comma splice is the type that happens when we join them only with a comma, but no conjunction is used.

A fragment is a group of words that looks like a sentence but lacks something essential to make sense, such as the subject or the verb.

A dangling participle is a modifier that refers to something that is not mentioned in the same sentence and, for that reason, seems to be referring to something else. It causes ambiguity.

Finally, parallelism consists in the repetition of a certain grammatical structure inside a sentence. The purpose of such repetition is to avoid confusion, making the speech clear, interesting, and easy to understand. For instance, if you are listing your hobbies and you use -ing in the first one (drawing), you should use -ing for the others as well.

For a continuation of the story, I would write that Ponnyboy is older and begins to enter early adulthood, in late adolescence. as we know, his family does not have the money to keep him in college, which makes Ponnyboy start looking for a job, to have a better economic situation, since he believes that he will not be able to afford college with his own salary.

Although Ponnyboy has changed his life and moved away from gangs, he is unable to keep his past a secret and suffers from strong social prejudice in his job search. Even after finding a job, which he opposes very badly, Ponnyboy still suffers several abuses due to people's intolerance towards the past that he had.

In addition to suffering prejudice, Ponnyboy has horrible nightmares about the traumatic experiences he had in the first book, which adds another difficulty in life. Ponnyboy begins to believe that there is no future for a young man like him.

The resolution to these misfortunes begins to emerge when Ponnyboy becomes involved in a volunteer group at a local church, which tries to help young people find a better life than they live. Young people in this group receive counseling, psychological counseling and can even learn a professional trade, which helps Ponnyboy overcome his problems.
