Read the excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen Which detail best supports Kamen's opinion that he was hooked on making things out of metal? My next challenge was that I wanted to make things out of metal, so I became interested in how to use a lathe, a milling machine, and so on. I went to buy this new equipment I thought I'd need and met a man who had a machine shop of his own who was about to retire and move to Florida. He allowed me to visit him after school and on weekends to observe how he used all his tools. I was hooked. When he retired I bought not only all his big equipment but all his little toolboxes as well--they were treasures!

What is the purpose of an introductory paragraph and a concluding paragraph? What are the characteristics of each paragraph?

Answers

Answer:

Introductions and conclusions are important components of any essay. They work to book-end the argument made in the body paragraphs by first explaining what points will be made (in the introduction) and then summarizing what points were made (in the conclusion).

Explanation:

The Five-Paragraph

Essay

#

Select from the following

A classic format for compositions is the five-paragraph essay. It is not the only format for writing an essay, of course, but it is a useful model for you to keep in mind, especially as you begin to develop your composition skills. The following material is adapted from a handout prepared by Harry Livermore for his high school English classes at Cook High School in Adel, Georgia. It is used here with his permission.

Introduction:

Introductory Paragraph

See, first, Writing Introductory Paragraphs for different ways of getting your reader involved in your essay. The introductory paragraph should also include the thesis statement, a kind of mini-outline for the paper: it tells the reader what the essay is about. The last sentence of this paragraph must also contain a transitional "hook" which moves the reader to the first paragraph of the body of the paper.

Body:

Body — First paragraph:

The first paragraph of the body should contain the strongest argument, most significant example, cleverest illustration, or an obvious beginning point. The first sentence of this paragraph should include the "reverse hook" which ties in with the transitional hook at the end of the introductory paragraph. The topic for this paragraph should be in the first or second sentence. This topic should relate to the thesis statement in the introductory paragraph. The last sentence in this paragraph should include a transitional hook to tie into the second paragraph of the body.

Body — Second paragraph:

The second paragraph of the body should contain the second strongest argument, second most significant example, second cleverest illustration, or an obvious follow up the first paragraph in the body. The first sentence of this paragraph should include the reverse hook which ties in with the transitional hook at the end of the first paragraph of the body. The topic for this paragraph should be in the first or second sentence. This topic should relate to the thesis statement in the introductory paragraph. The last sentence in this paragraph should include a transitional hook to tie into the third paragraph of the body.

Body — Third paragraph:

The third paragraph of the body should contain the weakest argument, weakest example, weakest illustration, or an obvious follow up to the second paragraph in the body. The first sentence of this paragraph should include the reverse hook which ties in with the transitional hook at the end of the second paragraph. The topic for this paragraph should be in the first or second sentence. This topic should relate to the thesis statement in the introductory paragraph. The last sentence in this paragraph should include a transitional concluding hook that signals the reader that this is the final major point being made in this paper. This hook also leads into the last, or concluding, paragraph.

Conclusion:

Concluding paragraph:

#This paragraph should include the following:

an allusion to the pattern used in the introductory paragraph,

a restatement of the thesis statement, using some of the original language or language that "echoes" the original language. (The restatement, however, must not be a duplicate thesis statement.)

a summary of the three main points from the body of the paper.

a final statement that gives the reader signals that the discussion has come to an end. (This final statement may be a "call to action" in an persuasive paper.)

1. How does Marji respond to the figure whom she sees in the mirror?
(Persepolis The Story Of A Childhood)

Answers

Answer:

found this online  maybe you can find your answer in this

Explanation:

The Complete Persepolis is a graphic memoir by Marjane Satrapi that describes the author’s childhood experience in Iran during and after the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and her early adulthood after she graduates high school in Austria and returns to Iran. As a result of the restrictions placed on Iranian women by the supreme spiritual leader Ayatollah Khomeini, many Iranians demonstrated in the streets and rebelled against the Islamic Republic (“History of Iran”). Marji, the protagonist, has a distinct childhood experience in the time of revolution, experiencing extreme psychological struggle under the influence of the political and social upheavals in Iran. Marji’s internal struggle follows her from a very young age through her adult life, which corresponds to memoirist Mary Karr’s “inner enemy” theory explained in her book The Art of Memoir. Karr theorizes the inner enemy as “a psychic struggle against the author’s own self that works like a thread or plot engine” as well as one of the key components of a great memoir (Karr 91). Based on Karr’s theory, what is the role of Marji’s inner enemy in The Complete Persepolis? Why does she confront such an internal struggle, and does she resolve her inner conflict by the end of book? By exploring these questions, we can better understand the central idea of Satrapi’s memoir as well as Karr’s theory and the mechanism behind a graphic memoir. It also provides readers with a distinct and profound perspective to trace the history of Iran and the impact of the revolution on the Iranian people, especially on Iranian women. Marji’s desire for freedom and her courage against authority, which are cultivated under the Westernized education she receives from her parents, make her incompatible with the society constrained by Islamic traditions and consequently lead to her inner conflict. Even though the inner conflict acts as a significant obstacle in Marji’s childhood, she successfully overcomes it and achieves self-approval before she leaves Iran for France as an independent adult, which indicates the final resolution of her inner conflict.

“Binya’s Blue Umbrella”

Answers

Answer:

Ruskin Bond (b. 1934) is an Indian author of children’s books. He did his schooling from  Bishop Cotton School in Shimla. After completing his high school education, he went to  United Kingdom for further studies. While in UK, and still only 17 years old, he began to write  his first novel The Room on the Roof. Published in the year 1956, the novel won the John  Llewellyn Rhys Memorial Prize in 1957. Bond used the advance from the novel to pay for his  sea voyage back to India, where he settled down in Dehradun. Some of his most acclaimed  works include Time Stops at Shamli (1989), The Ruskin Bond Children’s Omnibus (1995), Crazy  Times with Uncle Ken (2011) and Tigers for Dinner: Tall Tales by Jim Corbett ’s Khansama (2013).  In 1992, he won the Sahitya Akademi Award for his collection of essays Our Trees Still Grow in  Dehra (1991). Today, he is the most famous author in India and lives in Landour, Mussoorie. Binya’s Blue Umbrella is an extract from Bond’s novel The Blue Umbrella (1980). Most of  Bond’s works is set in the mountains. He is inspired by the beauty and innocence of the  mountain life, a reason why he decided to settle down first in Dehradun and later in Landour.  Bond weaves his stories around the simplest of things in life. In 2005, the Indian film-maker,  Vishal Bhardwaj, adapted The Blue Umbrella into a film. It won the National Film Award for  Best Children’s Film in 2007.

Answers

Answer:

This reference indicates that the little boy has been cut up and disfigured by the barbed wire to such an extent that he is no longer recognizable.

Explanation:

Nadine Gordimer's short story "Once Upon A Time," tells the story of a certain white family in Apartheid South America trying to stay safe and secure from the 'outside' disturbance. The story includes themes of racism in the characterization of the white family and the "trusted housemaid".

Before the incident, all characters were specifically labeled in their respective genders including the "trusted housemaid". But after the young boy attempts to play out "Sleeping Beauty" and got stuck in the "razor-bladed coils", he is referred to as "it". This is because the damage to his little, fragile body, "the bleeding mass of the little boy" is too much, too disfigured, and cut up to the point that he seems almost unrecognizable.  

Thus, the correct answer is the last option.

To handle or use skillfully is to
A encompass
B depict
C constrain
D manipulate

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

is the answer because encompass is skillful I think

Answer:

D

Explanation:

When you are manipulating something, typically a tool or object, you are able to use it to a skillful degree.

You can also use the process of elimination. To encompass can mean to surround or enclose something, as well as to include something. No mention of handling or using something skillfully. To depict only means to illustrate or convey something through the medium of art, such as paintings and drawings (i.e. a depiction of the Boston Massacre). Still, no mention of handling or using something skillfully. Finally, to constrain means to compel or force someone to a specific action, or to limit and restrain something. No mentions of using something skillfully.

Therefore, you can safely choose manipulate as a solid answer through the process of elimination.

Also, you can also apply what you know- a psychological manipulator is able to exploit, or use someone's emotions to their advantage, skillfully.

The poem was written giving voice to the working class and its dissatisfaction with the ruling class that is said to govern for the people, but it oppresses, expels and disempowered the people, the most populous and real owner of the means of production, for whom the ruling class and rulers must put themselves in submission and not the other way around.

The poem reinforces the power of the people in society and how it is denied and taken away from them.
