Answer:
I decided to do a book report about The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It came out back in 2008, yet I only read it this past school year. It was a lovely discovery. I have not been able to find any recent books that I am interested in enough to read. But reading The Hunger Games caught my full attention and interested me greatly. It is a dystopian future themed book packed full of adventure and politics. It’s main character is a girl named Katniss Everdeen. She is one of my favorite female leads in any book I’ve read. She’s a very independent and pessimistic character, both of which are not commonly seen traits in female leads. She took care of her family from a young age after her father died. She had a hard life growing up which has led her to not trusting people very easily or being very optimistic about life.I found it very easy to get interested in this book.
It drew me in with various symbolic meanings and political themes. I find the setting of the book to very closely relate towards how the American government is heading. People with money will have all of the power and the poor will be left no choice but to obey their every command. The people of the Capitol know that they have the power and they use it to their advantage. Power hungry politicians have the same mindsets. They don’t care whose life gets ruined as long as they get what they want in the end. The Capitol people pretend to care about the people of the districts, but they don’t.
There is a wide spectrum of character types to help represent each district. This helps paint a picture to the readers of what life is like in each district. I dislike when a book is solely based on developing romance. The Hunger Games is a breath of fresh air with little to no romance. Romance in the book is almost like an afterthought, but even when it comes into the book it is not a huge part of the book and is even a little faked. I’m not a big fan of books only based over romance, but The Hunger Games does a great job of not focusing on romance and mainly focusing on the plot and character development. Overall I really like this book, once I started I couldn’t put it down. It is a book that will draw readers in and immerse them into the universe that they are reading about. I would highly suggest reading this book and a special thanks to _____( WHOEVER YOU WANT)___ for introducing this book to me.
Pelucita is evaluating sources to help her answer her research question, "What are the most popular magic tricks?" Would the
following source be effective in helping to answer her research question?
Magic is short for Magic: The Gathering, which is known as the first official trading card game. Invented by Richard Garfield, the
game was first released in 1993 and has become extremely popular since then. The cards are now also available online, so players
can play in a variety of ways. The game is played by two or more people, and each game is a battle between different wizards.
No, because the source does not ask any questions.
Yes, because the source includes facts.
No, because the source describes a different topic.
Yes, because the source
mentions magic.
Answer: No, because the source describes a different topic.
Explanation:
An effective source for Pelucita's research question would be one that gives details on magic tricks and the most popular ones amongst them.
This source however, is describing something else. It alludes to the a card game called Magic and not actual magic which means that it will not talk about magic tricks and which ones are the most popular but rather about a card game.
It is therefore not an effective source.

What evidence supports the inference that George Stephenson’s development of the steam engine was made possible by the inventions of James Watt?
The Steam Engine
Before the time of Watt, the steam engine was exclusively a steam pump—slow and wasteful of fuel. Watt made it a quick, powerful, and efficient engine, requiring only a fourth as much fuel as before. Under his first patent, the engine was still used only as a steam pump, but his later improvements adapted it for driving stationary machinery of all kinds. The commercial success of his engine was soon fully established.
George Stephenson further modified Boulton and Watt Company's creation. Stephenson initiated the use of steam for carrying passengers and goods. In September 1825, the first train passed over the road. It consisted of thirty-four cars weighing, all told, ninety tons. The train was pulled by Stephenson's engine, operated by Stephenson himself, with a signalman riding on horseback in advance. The train moved off at the rate of ten or twelve miles an hour, and on certain parts of the road it reached a speed of fifteen miles per hour. The trial was a complete success.
Choices:
- Before the time of Watt, the steam engine was exclusively a steam pump—slow and wasteful of fuel.
- Under his first patent, the engine was still used only as a steam pump, but his later improvements adapted it for driving stationary machinery of all kinds.
- Stephenson initiated the use of steam for carrying passengers and goods.
- The train was pulled by Stephenson's engine, operated by Stephenson himself, with a signalman riding on horseback in advance.
At first, the engine was used as a steam pump, but later improvements adapted it for driving stationary machinery best supports the inference that Stephenson’s development was possible due to James Watt. Thus, option B is correct.
What is an inference?An inference is a conclusion that is made out of the context and passage and is supported by evidence that is based on the reasonings and deductions.
From the passage, it can be said that at the time of Watt, the engine was only used as a steam pump but it was later modified and upgraded by George Stephenson to carry the passengers and commodities.
Therefore, this supports the inference that Watt made the development of George Stephenson’s engine possible.

What is an appositive phrase and what is its purpose?
Hi , I really need to this so I can take my sister out for ice cream - so if anybody can solve this asap it'll be appreciated ^^
Answer:
An appositive phrase is when you add another name or title to a noun. It looks something like this:
Ginger, my cat, is named Ginger.
The appositive phrase is the "my cat", because you already know that I'm talking about Ginger, but the "my cat" provides more information.
Appositive phrases/words are always right next to the noun they are helping desrcibe, and can use commas like my cat example, or not.
Anyways, they're used to help describe nouns and give more context and information about that noun without sounding like this:
Ginger is named Ginger. Ginger is my cat.

from President John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address, 1961
from President John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address, 1961
…In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than in mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.
Now the trumpet summons us again—not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are—but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"—a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.
Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort?
In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility—I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.
And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.
My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.
Kennedy's speech implies that if people will fight for freedom and justice, their government will do the same. Which sentence best aligns with this idea?
"Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you."
"In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than in mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course."
"In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger."

What is a non example of propaganda
Answer:
Propaganda is some information, like a poster or newspaper article or leaflet or tv broadcast etc, which only gives one very strong point of view to try to influence people to a certain way of thinking.
So, NON propaganda is something in these media which tells only the truth and gives a balanced view, or explains that there are different opinions about something, or which just doesn't try to give any opinion at all.
So, a leaflet which is an instruction sheet for a washing machine is not propaganda. A newspaper article about a big hurricane is not usually propaganda if it just describes the effects of the hurricane. A poster reminding people to vote in an election but which doesn't try to tell them who to vote for is not propaganda. A TV show about cooking is not propaganda.
