Answer:
"It introduces a character who contrasts with the main character."
Explanation:
Todd is the complete opposite of Zoё, while she is full of emotion and friendly, Todd is cold towards her and lifeless like a robot, not much show of emotion and no excitement, per say. With that said, Todd contrasts heavily with Zoё, the main character.

How is Pedro's situation ironic?
Today was the big day. Pedro was interviewing for the job of his dreams. Nobody, not even Pedro himself could believe that there was a job that paid for blogging about and taking pictures of rare trees around the world. When Pedro had majored in photography, journalism, and biology in college, his parents had thought that he was losing his mind. They were worried that their brilliant son was wasting his genius. So, today was the day Pedro had to prove that it was all worth it.
Pedro ironed his dry-cleaned suit again, flossed his teeth, fixed every strand of his unruly hair, and got dressed for the interview. He drove to the café where he was meeting George Beforeman, the potential boss, and ordered a cold coffee to kill time. Pedro was calm until he saw someone fitting the description of George enter the front door. It was at the precise moment that George smiled at Pedro that Pedro spilled his cold coffee on his crisp suit.
A. Pedro orders cold coffee while he is trying to kill time before the interview.
B. Pedro ends up ruining the suit while trying hard to make a good impression.
C. Pedro tries too hard to appear crisp in front of the potential employer.
D. Pedro is smart, but he wants to waste his time researching rare trees.

Explanation:
from the details in this passage, choose the inference that dickens most likely wants readers to make about the members of the board in charge of the workhouse
Answer:
Charles Dickens commonly used his writings to make the public aware of how boys where being abused under the current child labor laws in England. Dickens specifically uses Oliver being placed in a workhouse to create sympathy for the real life conditions that many children faced at the time that Oliver Twist was written. In many ways, Dickens used his writings as a social satire for the times.
Answer:
Workhouses were nineteenth-century institutions that provided food, lodging, and employment for the poor. However, they were excellent examples of the moral hypocrisy of the upper and middle classes.
The members of this board were very sage, deep, philosophical men; and when they came to turn their attention to the workhouse, they found out at once, what ordinary folks would never have discovered—the poor people liked it! It was a regular place of public entertainment for the poorer classes; a tavern where there was nothing to pay; a public breakfast, dinner, tea, and supper all the year round; a brick and mortar elysium, where it was all play and no work.

Boo!” my friend Emilie yelled. “AHHH” I screamed. “Stop it’s Halloween night. That is so not funny. You know what this day does to me.” I said. “I know I just wanted to get you in the spook mood.” She said. “I know but, you know how I get super scared over the tiny things.” I said. “I know.” She said. “Ugh where is he!? He is always so late and tonight the day we got together!.” Emilie said. “Hey I’m here!” Luke said. “Babe you’re late.” Emilie said. “I know but, I will make it up tonight;)” He said. “EWWWW! Get a room.” I rolled my eyes. “Speaking of guys where is your boy toy. You have been together for 2 years, he shouldn’t be late, Arizona.” Emilie said. “I know but, he is so caught up in football and grades and- “I got cut off. “You miss me?” My boyfriend showed himself. “No, we didn’t” Emilie said. “Come on guys let’s get going into the scariest haunted house of all time.” I said. “Y’all first” I said. We went in. Then it was over. “That was terrifying” I said. “Yeah” they all agreed. “Let’s go walk around babe.” I said. “Ok” he said. “Bye!” I said. “Bye bestie!” My best friend said. It was a normal and fun as a festival until we got into my car. He got cut in the throat. I ran out of that car and started running somewhere. We were the only ones really there because it was 1 am. I somehow found Emilie and Luke. I told them. They didn’t belive but then, we saw a person but, they had a mask on. The mask looked like pig skin and he or she was wearing a yellow jumpsuit. We ran for our lives. We stopped and hid. I hid in the bushes, Emilie hid with jake behind a clown poster. We heard footsteps. Then a scream. I looked over and saw Luke with a spear going through his stomach. The killer must have hit from the back. Me and Emilie ran and got in her car. We went to the police office. The next day (We got no sleep that night) the police went and saw the bodies. Our parents were horrified.
Fast forward two months later
We were the funeral. Then boom the dad during the speech just stabbed. Everyone ran and went and called the police but, now there was 4 pigs. Emilie got stabbed and I had to run. That is my biggest regret because she passed away. That day 18 people died. I was the only survivor. I haven’t been the same because when the police caught them. They disappeared out of thin air, then came behind them and possed them. Still to this day no one has found them. I was 16 when that happened, I just turned 21. I may or may not have done all that but, I will never tell that seceret. Sleep with one eye open!

Out of Place
“Ben bunu yapmayacağım . . . I will not do that. He can’t have my shoes, he stole my guitar!” Erkan’s eyes looked impudent beneath his dark brow as his cheeks reddened in fury. His gray-whiskered lips trembled as his hand gripped tightly around the nurse’s wrist. The nurse carefully but firmly freed himself from Erkan’s grasp. He then turned to the caregiver who was assisting him, smiled, and said calmly, “Go get Michelle.”
Michelle was scanning boxes of gauze bandages and stacking them onto a shelf in the storeroom when the caregiver came in and announced, “Phillip’s trying to get Erkan to take a shower and he needs your help.” Michelle rushed out of the store room and down the hall to Erkan’s room.
This was the last week of Michelle’s internship. It was her junior year, and the internship was part of her “Workplace and Consumer Education” class. At first she wanted to intern at her dad’s gas station, but her teacher told her she needed to branch out and signed Michelle up at the Oakcourt Nursing Home, only 15 minutes away from her house.
Wearing a Pittsburgh Steelers sweatshirt and jeans, with dark curls pushed back in a hair clip, Michelle stood out from the crowd of nurses and caregivers in white pants and polo shirts who were standing huddled in the doorway of Erkan’s room. She moved past them and rushed to Erkan’s side. As soon as he saw her, Erkan’s face brightened and he stopped looking like a stricken animal and instead looked like someone who recognized a dear old friend.
“He can’t have them, Michelle. I sold them at the corner,” Erkan shouted, pushing his way to Michelle. “He stole my guitar,” he whispered.
“I know, Erkan, but he was only trying to help you get some money to pay for your trip.” Michelle had been frightened by a lot of the residents of the nursing home when she first started the beginning of the semester. Many of them were incoherent and loud, and some could be very aggressive and scary. Erkan often pushed or kicked and ranted. Michelle had started to regret this internship, and she even avoided going near Erkan’s room whenever possible. “He lives in his own world,” Philip, the managing nurse, explained to Michelle after her first encounter with Erkan’s temper.
Still, Michelle had been curious, and she felt sorry that Erkan had a bad reputation among the staff. She too had felt like everyone mistrusted her—especially at the nursing home where she was so much younger than the rest of the staff—so she understood how he must feel. Besides, he was the only person in the whole place with skin nearly as dark as hers.
Over time, she noticed patterns in Erkan’s rants: He would sometimes mention his guitar and his father and the city of Diyarbakir, which she learned is in Turkey. So she decided that the next time she brought supplies to his room, instead of avoiding Erkan, she would play along with whatever he said. If he lived in his own world, then she would try to join him there. Bit by bit, she discovered that he had immigrated to the United States from Turkey when he was very young. His father had saved as much money as possible to pay for his journey, but he needed to sell Erkan’s guitar to help cover the cost. Erkan had moved in with his aunt’s family in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and finished school there. Eventually he got married, had children of his own, and worked for years signing Turkish singers to a small record label. But he’d never quite felt at home in the United States.
“I know he sold your guitar, but you told me yourself he just wants what’s best for you,” Michelle said, while Philip and the caregiver looked on in amazement as Erkan settled into an armchair. “Now why don’t you listen to Philip, take your shoes off, and have a shower?”
“For you, Michelle, I’ll do it.”
You can feel out of place in a country, in the place where you live, or even in your own head, Michelle thought. But if you’re lucky, someone will know how to find you and remind you that we all feel that way sometimes.
In “Out of Place,” how has Ekran’s relationship with Michelle affected him? Discuss interactions between the two characters and explain how Ekran reacts to these interactions. Use evidence from the text to support your response. Your response should be at least two complete paragraphs.

Read this passage from Dragonwings by Laurence Yep.
The demon was a big, cheerful-looking demon with a bland, round face. He eyed father. "I dunno, John." Many demons called Tang men John because, they insisted, they never could get the hang of our real names. "You know anything about horselesses?"
"Some," Father said. Truth to tell, he had never handled a horseless carriage in his life, though he had a book on them and cut out articles whenever they appeared in the demon magazines and newspapers. That was the extent of Father's knowledge. But to know facts is nothing. He had an intuitive feeling for what made the horseless carriages tick. He looked around inside the engine for about ten minutes and then wiped his face absentmindedly, so that the grease stained his cheek. He did not even notice.
Which quote from this passage is an example of indirect characterization?

TRUE OR FALSE?????
A writer is working on a research paper about whether schools should ban junk food or not. One of the paragraphs in his paper reads:
The article “Junk Food in Schools: Should Schools Restrict the Sale of Junk Food?” provides an overview of some concerns related to the food available to many school students: “Having junk food in schools, proponents contend, contradicts the message that parents, teachers and administrators are trying to impart to students—that eating good food is the key to good health. That message is undercut when unhealthy foods are so readily available, and have been approved by schools themselves, they argue. ‘We talk a lot about healthy nutrition, we teach the kids about the food pyramid, and then they go down the hallway and get the high fat, high sodium and high junk available in the vending machines,’ Senator Murkowski told the New York Times” (“Junk Food”). But this isn’t true. In my high school we didn’t have any vending machines.
This paragraph effectively relates the writer’s source material to his ideas about junk food.
Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
The correct response is - This author begins with a quotation and then adds a personal anecdote, but he never states his own opinion or advances any sort of argument. It's crucial to use your sources to back up your thoughts and to incorporate their ideas into your own while trying to transition from what they say to what you say.
What is Junk food?The term "junk food" is used to characterize foods that are high in calories from sugar and/or fat, as well as sodium, but low in protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, and other essential nutrients. It also goes by the name HFSS food. The derogatory term "junk food" dates back to the 1950s.
Foods that are heavy in fat, sugar, and calories and have poor nutritional value are referred to as unhealthy foods. These foods may be high in protein, but your body only requires a certain amount—not too much. Food is deemed unhealthy if it prevents you from maintaining a healthy weight.
Junk food is a term used to describe foods and beverages that are rich in calories, saturated fat, added sugar, and/or salt but lacking in nutrients (such as vitamins, minerals, and fiber). They go by the name of discretionary decisions.
