Thinking back to that presentation in the library makes me smile. What started out as three high school boys skipping class turned out to be the most significant event in our lives. If we had made it to the gym that day instead of the library, more than likely the streets would have swallowed us in the next few years. We never would have become doctors. Everything we needed to start on the road to success was included in one forty-five-minute presentation. And we almost missed it.

—We Beat the Street,
Sampson Davis et al

Answers

Answer: for  #2 you should put: The difference between  food , bolus and chyme is Food is what you consume to go into the digestive system. Bolus is a small rounded mass of a substance of chewed food before you swallow the food.  Chyme is a semi-fluid pulp that is in the stomach  that is  mostly made of partly digested food and the liquids of the gastrointestinal tract. The similarities that they have are that they all help the process for when your body is breaking down the food you are consuming.

For  #3 you should put : The process of the digestive system is, When you first put the food into your mouth ,You obviously chew to break down the food but also your saliva helps you to break down the food before you swallow too. When the food is swallowed it goes through your throat and from there the food travels to the esophagus AKA the swallowing tube.  The esophagus is a muscular tube traveling from the pharynx to the stomach. With a series of contractions, called peristalsis, and then  the esophagus delivers food to the stomach. Just before the connection to the stomach is made, there is a "zone of high pressure," called the lower esophageal sphincter; this is  meant to keep food from passing backwards going into  the esophagus.  The stomach is a sac-like organ with strong muscular walls. In conclusion  to holding the food, it's also a mixer and grinder. The stomach produces  acid and powerful enzymes that continue the process of breaking down the food. The small intestine  is made up of three segments, the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, the small intestine is a long tube very loosely coiled in the abdomen. The small intestine continues the process of breaking down food by using enzymes released by the pancreas and bile from the liver.

For #4 you should put: If the Salivary glands were to be damaged, it would  make chewing and swallowing very difficult for you cause your mouth would be dry  and you would also have an increase risk of tooth loss and and infections and decay in the mouth.

Is George Orwell right about people and the way they handle power? In your own words,
explain what Animal Farm suggests about the effect that power has on people. Then, describe
an example from your own life that either supports or contradicts what George Orwell seems to
think about power.

Answers

Answer:

Power and control is one of the most important themes in Animal Farm. Orwell explores political power - Mr Jones owns the farm and the animals and uses his men and whips to keep them under control and maintain his power.

Orwell shows that the animals have the power to challenge Mr Jones' control and take over the farm - using power in a positive way. He then explores how the pigs use rhetoric and propaganda to establish themselves in power and take control of the farm. It is interesting that the working animals, especially Boxer the horse, have great physical power but they don’t use it to break free from the control of the pigs.

Old Major is partly based on Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin. Karl Marx, was a German philosopher who lived during the 19th-century. His ideas formed the basis of communism - his ideas are collectively known as ‘Marxism’, like ‘Animalism’ in the novel. He developed theories on how power structures in society keep people under control. Vladimir Lenin was a Russian revolutionary who established a form of ‘Marxism’ in Russia in the early 20th-century.

Orwell explores the idea of power leading to corruption. Many of the characters in the novel are eventually corrupted by the power they have, particularly the pigs, as they manipulate their position of leadership to exploit other animals.Old Major teaches the animals a song called Beasts of England in response to Mr Jones treating them badly. The song is about animals overthrowing man and being free. Bit and spur shall rust forever, Cruel whips no more shall crack. The animals sing about the devices Mr Jones uses to keep his power. The 'bit and spur' and 'whips' are used to cruelly keep the animals under control.

The rebellion The animals fight back against the men and take control of the farm. ...this sudden uprising of creatures whom they were used to thrashing and maltreating just as they chose, frightened them almost out of their wits. The animals surprise the men with their 'sudden' change in behaviour - it frightens the men to see the animals using their power.

The pigs taking control The pigs take charge and begin to control the other animals. Napoleon uses Squealer and the dogs to stop the animals' questions about the windmill. Squealer spoke so persuasively, and the three dogs who happened to be with him growled so threateningly, that they accepted his explanation without further questions. Between Squealer being so 'persuasive' and the dogs so 'threatening' the pigs control the animals by preventing them questioning their decisions.

Weakened by his wound and the long summer day of fasting and watching on the roof, he revolted from the sight of the shattered mass of his dead enemy. His teeth chattered, he began it gibber himself, cursing the war, cursing himself, cursing everybody.” The sniper succeeded in killing his enemy. Does this event create internal or external conflict for the sniper? Explain and cite text evidence. Applying ACE’D (Answer, Cite, Elaborate and Delineate).Write 4-6 complete sentences citing relevant evidence “directly” (quoting) and indirectly. This is from "The Sniper"

Answers

Answer:

The Sniper killing his enemy creates an internal conflict.  We see this in the quote, "...cursing the war, cursing himself, cursing everybody." This shows how the sniper was upset or even mortified at the killing of his enemy. Thus The Sniper feels remorse and probably wishes this said war had never started.

Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.

Tom Stoppard's play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, draws on two previous theatrical works: Shakespeare's Hamlet and Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead follows the "off-stage" exploits of two minor characters from Hamlet, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. While the two main characters in Stoppard's play occasionally make brief appearances in "Hamlet," as scripted in Shakespeare's original tragedy, the majority of the play takes place in other parts of the castle where Hamlet is set. While "off stage" in this way, the characters resemble the main characters in the absurdist Waiting for Godot. As in Beckett's play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern pass the time by impersonating other characters, engaging in word play, and remaining silent for long periods of time. These same two characters were also featured in a parody of Hamlet, the short comic play by W. S. Gilbert entitled Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Gilbert's play makes Rosencrantz and Guildenstern into central characters and alters the storyline of Hamlet.
